Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Keizer

One of the best dinners of the year. So many memorable dishes. Never had a cheese rosette before. But the way the cheese was cut made it so memorable. And the cheese itself was fantastic. At first I just thought, "Good cheese." But then these layers of flavor kept coming in with complexity after complexity. We had a bottle of orange Viognier made by the owner. It complemented everything, and everything differently. Each different dish brought out a different side of the wine. The soup was, well, I've never had a french onion soup like it. The crispy cheese basket and bread pudding croutons... I mean bread pudding croutons? Who does that? Oh L'Orange dose. So much flavor. And it was vegetarian! Only found out after. Never would have thought so. So much depth of flavor. So many places have a fried cauliflower appetizer now, but they poach and grill theirs to again, layer the flavor. Best duck I've ever had. Who knew it's better cooked confit, then boned and reassembled into a mini duck loaf crisped all over in duck fat. And that sturgeon. Holy hell, that's one of the best fish dishes ever. And the most expensive thing on the menu is $30. In 2024, for food of that quality, such good value for money. Even the cake was extra special. Even at fancy places, it might have some whipped cream, maybe a little sauce. Their orange cake is bruleed and then has these little bright orange globules of flavor dotted around it. Can't remember if they were more acidic, sweet, or both. But just so, so good. Would most definitely return. There are so many surprises on the menu. The way the cheese is presented, the cauliflower preparation, the fish that's so much more, the cake with unexpected bits and bobs. I'm excited to order differently the next time, because, well, so many more surpises! The main server who helped us was a pure delight. Just one of the most charming people you'll ever meet.

We made a reservation two months ago with this authentic Italian restaurant . We took friends here that have never been. They thoroughly enjoyed every bite. We each had a different dish and everything absolutely loved their meal. The food was phenomenal as usual and we made an instant reservation while there for next month. Service phenomenal, food phenomenal and of course the owner came out to speak a little Italian to us and wish us the best for the holidays. Cannot wait to go back. 

Nostrana is an (almost) hidden Portland treasure! The space and ambiance is warm yet epic, the entire staff seems to be operating on another level from other fine dining restaurants in Portland; they're engaged, friendly, warm, and yet professional and perfectionistic in the best possible ways. The food, all of it, was super-fresh and really special. Might have something to do with them having their own chef's garden right across the street. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

Absolutely phenomenal experience from beginning to end. The ambience and decor are charming, whimsical while still being elegant. The service was top notch and friendly. The food was outstanding. I had the black cod with cauliflower puree, mushrooms and truffle plus a farro-type grain, absolutely delicious. My colleague had the lamb shank which was falling off the bone and had a ton of flavor. I highly recommend it!

All staff was very nice; everyone was professional, friendly, and attentive. The buffet was great, but for the turkey (fine with gravy but difficult to cut) and stuffing (delicious but made with sausage, so many folks unable to eat). Salmon, gravy, potatoes, vegetables, and salads were excellent and the pumpkin pie was perfect. Wonderful choice for an stress-free holiday dinner.
