Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Oregon City

Wonderful anniversary at this outstanding restaurant!! My wife and I had not been back to Ringside since COVID. It was so much fun to revisit the superb food and superlative service. We loved we very minute!♥️

We had a wonderful dining experience. From the moment we walked in we could tell the experience would be great. We were quickly provided with a server who provided us with sparkling water and went through the special for this special Sunday meal. We started with bread and whipped butter, the bread was the perfect mix of crunchy and soft. Our entrees came and did not disappoint. My companion loved her pork stuffed cannelonis and my salad was great. We followed up with Affogato Al caffee and a baked pear crumble. Overall we highly recommend Nostrana.

Flavorful display of beautiful South American tapas style cuisine! Wagyu steak tartare, grilled octopus, and Brandt farms flat iron steak were among some of my favorites. The cocktails are delicious and beautifully garnished! I recommend the sangria! We will definitely be back to try the next “what the chef is eating” lineup!

I just wrote a glowing review that the app erased due to bad programming. So I’ll try to recreate my enthusiasm. We just had a wonderful Valentine’s Day dinner at Sushi Kuni. We are regular patrons of this amazing restaurant which is fortunately 3 minutes from our house m. It’s the best sushi place in Metro. Starting with the warm welcome Japanese-style greeting, Kuni has a wonderful vibe that includes service, layout, drinks, and food. The restaurant is divided into four sections that flow together but provide intimacy in each one. There are two bar areas, booths near the entrance, a small dining room with tables, and a booth area in back. These booths are open to the side but have Japanese-style partitions front and back. You can see other patrons but it feels private as well. We choose the excellent craft cocktails but there are sake flights and drinks, and wine/beer. We like the fact that the excellent sushi is complemented by lovely appetizers like eggplant in fish broth and potato croquettes. We have always chosen sushi as an entree but this time had the exquisite black cod in a savory sauce with rice on the side. And the charming Valentine’s Day special dessert with a cake/cookie base and chestnut paste filling, and a candied chestnut on top. For Valentine’s Day there were small pink neon lights that spelled “love.” Service is always impeccable, prompt, and friendly despite the fact that the restaurant was full for the event. The whole vibe on the occasion felt festive and full of happy couples. But it’s always a pleasure to eat at Kuni Sushi. Price is great for the exquisite quality of the food. With our two cocktails, two delicious and generous appetizers, silky savory sliced black cod with side of rice, and darling dessert, our bill came to $84 before tip. Why go anywhere else?

We so enjoyed our Valentines Day dinner! The restaurant was fully decorated for Valentines Day, complete with candlelight and flowers at each table. Truly a sweet and romantic ambiance, and the food was, as always, over the top and down the block delicious!!
