    This is one of our very favorite restaurants in all of Portland, especially for meeting family and friends. The ambiance and comfort level are unmatched. The menu is extensive enough for everyone to find something they enjoy. The prices do not exceed the value of the meal, which itself is invariably of high quality and well-prepared. One does not go away hungry. The service is always friendly and welcoming. The Oswego Grill in Lake Oswego always feels festive and warm. Seriously, I cannot think of another restaurant with all these fine qualities.
