Restaurants near Flavel City Park

I’ve dined at kachka more times than I can count and this was among the very best! Food and drink were impeccable. The dumplings and rabbit were superb. Always love herring under a fur coat!! I will be back…many times over.

Our daughter lives in the Portland region, we in Seattle. This was our second dinner at Laurelhurst market, and again the food, service, and experience were exceptional. We also purchased from the butcher's counter. For us, Powell's City of Books and Laurelhurst Market signify the very best of Portland that make the city and its culture unique. Thank you. Stewart.

Our table for the six of us seated eight so we had plenty of room since the space for chairs against the divider is a bit tight. Our table was ready within a minute of our checking in for our reservation. Our server promptly took our drink order and came back for our menu selections. Our appetizer arrived a bit late but no worries because we enjoyed a liesurely meal and did not feel rushed to make room for other guests. As usual, the view was terrific; nice, cloudy January afternoon.

Nostrana is an outstanding restaurant. The dining room and bar are quite beautiful and nicely furnished with quality design elements. The service was fast, friendly and efficient. The food was delicious with generous portions. We shared the wonderful Insalata Nostrana with radicchio, Parmesan Cheese, Caesar dressing and rosemary & sage croutons. For our Primi course we had the Gigli Pasta which was delightful and our Secondo course was the Mushroom stuffed Idaho Trout with mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. The trout was perfectly fried and deboned and, was topped by a generous dollop of black truffle butter which made it a very special dish. Nostrana is what a fine dining Italian Restaurant should aspire to. We’ll be back!

The fried chicken is delicious and the whipped potatoes are very flavorful. Definitely an excellent place to eat and now that they take reservations, definitely on my hit parade.
