Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Madison South

A truly exceptional dining experience at Screen Door Eastside! Every dish was a culinary masterpiece, showcasing fresh, high-quality ingredients with innovative flavor combinations. The service was impeccable, with our waiter providing knowledgeable recommendations and attentive care throughout the evening. The ambiance was elegant yet comfortable, creating the perfect setting for a special occasion. I can't wait to return and explore more of the menu. I do not recommend the downtown location because the Eastside location is simply the best. Literally. Amazing!

We’ve always had a great experience at Nostrana, and love to celebrate special occasions there. Ensalata Nostrana and Pizza with extra fixings are a great standby; last night we got the Papardelle as well, so good! Excellent wine list and the Tiramisu is a perfect way to end the meal.

Incredible dining experience - one of the few restaurants in PDX that has a strong perspective. Delicious food, great service, awesome ambience.

Loved our meal at LM. I had the steak and salad entree and the meat was tender and so flavorful. We also had the wedge salad, which was amazing. Very friendly staff , and our server was attentive and knowledgeable. Loved our evening at Laurelhurst Market.

At Salty's, the vibrant atmosphere perfectly complemented our dining experience. The thoughtfully designed space strikes an ideal balance between casual comfort and refined elegance, with warm lighting and tasteful décor creating an inviting ambiance. Our server Kevin was particularly outstanding, demonstrating an impressive knowledge of the menu and providing attentive service without being intrusive. His genuine enthusiasm and helpful recommendations enhanced our meal significantly. Unfortunately, while the food was certainly enjoyable and well-prepared, the steep prices didn't quite align with the quality or portions. Kevin and entire staff worked seamlessly as a team, from the welcoming host to the efficient staff setting tables for the next guests, all contributing to a pleasant evening. The service culture and atmosphere at Salty's is not only commendable and worthwhile, had those factors been less stellar we would be choosing a different restaurant next time due to cost alone.
