Best Fine Dining Restaurants in West Linn

Great menu, great preparation & delicious food! Great wait staff!!

We returned to our favorite with the benefit of a generous gift certificate from my sisters. There was a notable difference in the usual menu and our wonderful waitress Robin told us The Stockpot was celebrating their 50th anniversary and had brought back some of their former favorite dishes to celebrate the monumental occasion. We’ve been coming here since the early 80’s after our goof friends introduced us to the best restaurant anywhere. As usual, the food was scrumptious. We both enjoyed the salmon which was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. I recently leaned that you could substitute the sides to your liking so no matter what you choose, you can get the sides you prefer. Because we were there celebrating our birthdays, we were given complementary champagne and ice cream sundaes. We ordered desserts to take home for another day, the Lemoncello cake and the chocolate mousse cake. They were both delicious. Besides the excellent food, the wait staff is the best we’ve ever had. They recognize us from going there every year so it’s like coming back to see a good friend.

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.

We dine here almost weekly. They are consistently great and hence we go back. We’ve been going for a couple years now and every meal was just as expected. They have specials in the weekends and some seasonal menu changes. Drinks are made correctly. Staff are hard workers and stay. I notice when staff stay with an employer in the restaurant business-it says a lot for the chef/owner. I always recommend Avanti to people I know who want a great meal without an upcharge for ambience. You aren’t paying for a view or fine linens here-you are here for the food and drinks. The service is top notch.
