Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Battle Ground

Our server was excellent, had a nice time chit chatting with him. I was so happy they served A-1 sauce and didn’t make me feel bad for asking. I barely used it tho - the steak was so good and was actually better without it. Their onion rings are literally the best I’ve ever had. We had the Wagyu - it was an experience but I think if I came back I’ll just get the steak - we had a fillet mignon - it was good but I think I’ll try the rib eye next time. A nice place to dress up for.

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.

The Chilean Seabass was excellent, along with the beet salad and the wonderful flourless chocolate cake for dessert. Our waiter was most helpful in making suggestions for my dietary issues. Sitting next to the window, even on a rainy day was beautiful. I highly recommend Portland City Grill for their outstanding service, excellent food, and of course, the view!

We went the day before Christmas Eve and it was the most amazing and memorable experience of a lifetime! We had just found out that my FIL has a very aggressive form of cancer and this was a memory none of us will ever forget. The six of us ordered about 9 HH apps and two entrees and everything was a 10/10! The food was the out of this world, our server was the most attentive we’d ever had, and the ambiance was quiet, exciting, and amazing the entire time. I highly recommend this tapas-style culinary experience of a lifetime!

My husband loves Afternoon tea so we celebrated his 55th birthday at Sweet Peas this past week. We had a wonderful time and the tea and room was a celebration of the holiday season. The lovely ladies who run this tea room do such a great job. The sandwiches were full of flavor, the sweets were delicious and the scones nice and crumbly (as they should be) I would say my only disappointment would be that the cream for the scones is just whipped cream and not clotted cream as is tradition. But I know that it’s hard to make traditional clotted cream with our rules against unpasteurized dairy. They serve one type of tea as per the season, and at first I was disappointed as we like to choose our own separate teas. But the seasonal tea (Clementine Clove) was delicious. When we were asking about 2 of the for purchase teas on display, they asked if we would like sample a small pot of them. This was excellent service as we didn’t like them at all. But we really enjoyed the Clove tea and ended up purchasing a bag of it. We will definitely come back again in summer to experience their summer menus. Also, as far as Afternoon tea, the cost per person is VERY reasonable.
