North Portland​の楽しい雰囲気のレストラン

Excellent service, beautiful restaurant, DELICIOUS FOOD

Not our first visit here and won't be our last. L'Orange combines great dishes (onion soup is back for the winter!) and wine pairings, low key but attentive service, and a cozy atmosphere. The mussels and clams were served in a Zatarains spiced broth for a kick and the L'orange cake is bright and comforting and crunchy sweet with caramelized sugar at the edges. The three separate dining areas keep noise at a level that facilitates conversation, such a rare and nostalgic idea: Other restaurants can keep their noisy, spare dining areas with music that muscles out any attempts at conversation, we are delighted to have L'Orange as a dining option.

A perfect dinner (seated at counter) at Nostrana. Went on a Thursday - gnocchi night. I usually don’t choose gnocchi, but am now a convert - so pillowy and tender, and the clam sauce I chose was buttery, seasoned greatness. Our server was friendly, warm, and efficient and suggested an alternative wine by the glass that was from next door that was so good we bought a bottle to take home. Consistently amazing, and impressed my husband for date night.

This was my first hot pot experience and I fear it will ruin all others I have in the future. Seriously delicious food. Love the ambience and the staff is incredibly great at what they do!

The food was top-notch, and the wait was quite reasonable. The focaccia was truly the best I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot of focaccia. I would return just for the focaccia. The waiter was great. Not a noise factory, nice ambience, nice staff. One thing: since they no longer serve pizza, they shouldn’t say on their window that they have pizza.
