- SHSusanHPortland / Oregon •2 reviews5.0Dined todayAmazing service by all staff, but especially by Ellie. She was attentive and personable, checking in often to ensure all our needs were met. Her attention to detail made our special evening, my husband’s retirement celebration, even more memorable. Side note: the wood smoked cocktails (my husband chose the Flamed Orange Old Fashioned) were fascinating and delicious. I also appreciate that we could bring our own special bottle of wine and drink it with a small corkage fee.More infoRudy's SteakhousePrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Salem•4.5

- GGregHawaii •6 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoAmazing Christmas Eve dinner - place was slammed but handled it well - it took a bit to get started but we were not in a hurry - amazing drink and wine selection - great appetizers and steak was as expected for Prime. Highly recommend Onion Rings, Pacific Oysters, Lobster Oscar (on steak) and it was the best crème brûlée we have ever had and we are crème brûlée snobs 🤣. Hank was a great waiter - 5 Stars.More infoRingSide Steakhouse - UptownPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Northwest Portland•4.8
- MMonicaSan Francisco Bay Area •8 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe’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.More infoNostranaPrice: Expensive• Italian• Southeast Portland•4.7
- JJessicaSan Francisco Bay Area •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoWe went the day before Christmas Eve and it was the most amazing and memorable experience of a lifetime! We had just found out that my FIL has a very aggressive form of cancer and this was a memory none of us will ever forget. The six of us ordered about 9 HH apps and two entrees and everything was a 10/10! The food was the out of this world, our server was the most attentive we’d ever had, and the ambiance was quiet, exciting, and amazing the entire time. I highly recommend this tapas-style culinary experience of a lifetime!More infoLeChonPrice: Moderate• South American• Southwest Portland•4.8
