Named one of 20 Best New Restaurants in America for 2024 By Bon Appetit! In a distant European city, Fabian and Miriam vanished into the Alps, trading their city lives for mountain solitude. Once busy young professionals, their days were consumed by demanding careers, their rare weekends cherished for dining out and dancing, occasionally venturing into the mountains.But destiny intervened when Miriam inherited her grandfather's Alpine hut, nestled amidst the rustic charms of the mountains. They cut ties with the city, forsaking it for good. Days were spent farming, foraging, crafting cheese, and making wine. Nights brought cooking, baking, wine-drinking, and stargazing.Friends from the city visited, but Fabian and Miriam never looked back. They were drawn deeper into the mountains, caught in the Alpenrausch's dual meaning—the exhilaration of mountain air and the intoxication of good company, fine wine, and schnapps.Come experience Alpenrausch!

    Portland City Grill offers an exceptional dining experience with incredible food. The sea bass was perfectly cooked, and the seafood trio was outstanding—flavors that truly impressed. However, our server, Troy, lacked warmth and came across as impersonal, which was a bit of a downer. Despite that, the overall experience, atmosphere, and quality of the food were fantastic. Highly recommend this restaurant for a special night out!

    This European + Mediterranean + PNW inspired restaurant is quaint, adorable, cozy and has all the little details down even including their cute bathroom decor. I loved all the different colorful wallpaper throughout. They have different rooms for their seating which makes it more intimate and not as loud. The staff is down-to-earth and very helpful with the menu and narrowing down choices from the wine list to the menu and dessert. I personally loved the cheese small plate (fun to eat), scallop small plate, French onion soup, pork & duck main entrees. The execution of each dish was excellent. The wine selection is fantastic as well. The prices are also very reasonable so you’re able to try several items without breaking the bank. I would highly recommend this spot for any occasion, really, but a nice date night or girls night would be perfect. I can't wait to come back to try more.

    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.
