I was in Oregon for over a month to visit someone in the hospital, and usually visit the area once a year. My sister, who lived here, loved Oswego Grill, but she would take us to the one in Lake Oswego. This location in Beaverton, on Cedar Hills was very close to Saint Vincent Hospital, so we came several times during our month stay, to this location, and the one in Wilsonville, as well.
Overall, Oswego Grill Restaurant was our favorite restaurant to get dinner. In particular, the Grilled Salmon Power Bowl is outstanding! It was $17.99, and very worth the price! We went to delis and take-out restaurants and paid close to that for much inferior food.
This location on Cedar Hills has a cute ambience of brick walls and archways. The booths are very roomy, and can comfortably seat 6 people. Many of them are situated so that you have a lot of privacy, and blocking of noise. There are also some tables that look out to the street, and there is bar seating as well.
The reason I gave 3 stars for this location, instead of the 5 stars for other locations was due to the service. One night, because we came many times in the month we were here, and already knew what we would order, we waited for about 25 minutes to get our waiter's attention, to be able to ask for water and bread, and the bread finally came after we finally got our meals, which was about 40 minutes into our arrival. The waiters shoot by the tables, so you hardly see them, and can't stop them, and paid little attention to us. Our water glasses were frequently empty. The waiters seemed to also be bussing the dirty dishes from tables. It took a long time to get our check, and again a long wait for our waiter to pick up our payment. There was a table next to us, with two elderly women, one of whom was having a birthday. There was someone squatting next to them for about 25 minutes, talking to them, getting their names, talking about Bob Farrell of Farrell's ice cream which they serve, as the women knew him. A couple other waiters stopped to chat as well. Meanwhile, we were dying for something to eat, like the bread that never arrived, as dinner was the only meal we were getting each day, since we were advocating in the ICU every day for a month, and couldn't spend much time elsewhere. We did eat at this location several times, since it was closest to the hospital, and traffic was often bad to go further, but the service level at this location is regrettable, on more than one occasion. To get reservations at this location is more difficult than other locations, as it is in a very busy area.
We love Oswego Grill's food, ambience, and menu selection. We do hope this location improves on their service level, as we want all to succeed, and be there for the duration. But, if you have options, you might have a better evening out at one of the other locations nearby. read more
