I am obsessed with this team and this space. Portland, wake up! We have another amazing wine…read moremerchant with indoor seating for tasting. And, most of the team are incredible sommeliers with a few currently training to become master somms! What a resource for us! David and Marissa are very welcoming. From the moment we stepped into the space on Tuesday to participate in the blind tastings, they consistently taught us new information and led us perfectly through the journey of identifying wines. I also really enjoyed their energies, and Marissa matched our sass and zest for life very well. C&U normally have flights available at all hours when open, but, Tuesdays are special. Blind tastings are only hosted then, so, make your way down to learn something and to taste new wine. You can select either one red flight, one white flight, or both for a total of six wines to taste. We decided to do the six wines, so one red and one white blind flight. There are extensive resources to help you with this experience, and I would highly recommend water and snacks to balance the palette. Seating is not abundant, so, I would recommend arriving early if you want to guarantee a spot. I hope that they offer outdoor seating come summer. My only critique of this place would be that their hours could be longer or pushed to open later for more time in evenings for guests. 7pm closures are tough for most of us professionals. C&U also offers special events and courses to expand your experience. I will definitely be coming on Friday this week for the special German wine release that David told me about. Thank you, I cannot wait to come here often.

Perfect wine shop!…read more Service - The service is extraordinary. The knowledge of the staff, which are trained somms, is unmatched at any shop we've been to. It is obvious that the people who work here have passion in spades for wine and sharing it with people. For anyone who is new to discovering wines of the world this makes your journey so much more fun. We've never gotten a bad recommendation from the staff because they listen to what you like and then push you a little outside your norm, if willing, to really expand your experience. Price - The prices are fair, this isn't Costco wine so don't expect $12 bottles to reign supreme but they are usually within a buck or two of other local wine shops with larger footprints. With that said though, there is a wide range of prices that should help any budget find quality wine. Atmosphere - The atmosphere is great. They keep it cool to protect the wines and it is reminiscent of walking into a very fancy wine cellar. They are large enough to not feel cramped but small enough to keep that intimate feel. Quality wine glasses and seating areas make it very pleasant to stay for a bit and enjoy the experience. Selection - Selection is wonderful, they don't have as many bottles as a Total Wine or the like, but everything in the shop is thoughtfully curated. I don't think I would hesitate to grab any bottle as it would be a good example of the wine in that region. They have wines from around the world, so it is like taking a trip around the globe where you can stop anywhere you like. Experience - The overall experience at Cru and Domaine is special, from the warm welcome of familiar faces to just sitting and popping open a bottle (no corkage fee for wine purchased in the shop) and enjoying it while chatting with the staff and hearing all about what makes that wine so excellent. They also have a nice selection of Coravin Pours (wines they tap using a Coravin System to keep them perfectly fresh). Some of these pours are pricey wines you can try by the ounce because you may not want to spring for the whole bottle. Summary/ TLDR - There is no single reason that keeps us going back time and again, it's all the reasons, and all the reasons added up make this a PDX gem and a special place to enjoy wine with friends.

With the planning over months, I never felt rushed or pressured. She thought through the way we organized the room so it fit best as to what I was looking for. She had great solutions to how to make the reception flow and to arrange the room. I sent emails with my many questions and she would answer each one. I never felt like I was being annoying emailing her so much or so often and was always available. I was so impressed with how she organized and set up the wedding and catering and it was the most perfect wedding day. It's a beautiful venue - we used the decks and the inside and it was beautiful. It's a great location on the river (Willamette) in Lake Oswego. It was amazing for guests to be inside and outside on all the decks and to be able to utilize them this June. I will always recommend the foundry for any event especially weddings! The food and the service was impeccable. The dance floor was an easy transition in the night and they were so easy to work with. I highly recommended the Foundry for any wedding or special event! I had the most perfect wedding and the best day of my life! Thank you to The Foundry!

We will definitely come back to attend some of their events here. Loved it!

I had a really disappointing experience at this movie theater and diner. The service was extremely…read morepoor from start to finish -- staff seemed inattentive and uninterested, and it took far too long to get any help. The food was just as bad. It tasted low quality, poorly prepared, and definitely not worth the price. On top of that, the dining area was dirty. Tables were not cleaned between guests, which made the whole place feel unsanitary and uninviting. Overall, this was not an enjoyable experience at all. Between the bad service, terrible food, and lack of cleanliness, I would not recommend this place and won't be returning.

My friend and I just dropped into here to see Lizzie Borden the Musical which was a whole lot of…read morefun. It was a touch weird to see the performers with head set microphones and also holding microphones but also having a bit aggressive on the sound. It is a small space and seemed to be set to levels that would sound a venue twice this size. Seat comfort can always be better. I was shocked there was zero bathroom line as they have one. As someone with a peanut sized bladder, I will never complain about an available restroom that is clean and has soap and all the papers. And now, a small rant. I am not 'sober' but I don't tend to drink while out and about and I have quite a few sober friends due to recovery or even a few are actually allergic to alcohol (I am allergic to hops and agave, aka tequila). Several of the friends I go to things with are one of these so I don't drink. I am also many times the one driving. Can I just get a Coke or Pepsi... seriously, the options to not drink beer or wine is kombucha, coffee or hot cocoa??? We seriously thought she was kidding. Thanks for having a tap with water? But kombucha? Here, since you don't want booze, how about vinegar....

The Oswego Heritage House is a wonderful resource for the entire community. Mark Browne, the…read morearchivist, is absolutely the most knowledgeable person about Lake Owego history and seeks to learn more all the time. He is quick to educate others and share what he thinks they will find fascinating. Mark is on a quest to know more for himself, and preserve the history, and creates exhibits that build community and community relationships. This is the best kind of museum, in my opinion, as it cultivates community and adds to the importance of knowing one another. Nancy is the Executive Director, and truly makes sure each guest of the museum and user of the space is welcomed and helped. She is quick to promote others, and advocate for the betterment of this community she calls home. It's so refreshing to visit the museum and experience the local charm, and history of Lake Oswego. It is fascinating enough for a younger person to enjoy a quick visit, and is available to be rented and used for events and parties. Nancy has made sure this museum is a resource to our community.

We are working on a project that has to do with Lake Oswego history, and had heard that this place was worth checking out. We went to walk in, only to realize that the door says it closes at 3 [website says 4].... we were about to be disappointed when we saw someone inside, so we ended up walking in. There was only one woman working [same who is always there], and she was more than happy to let us come in and peruse. The one-room exhibit had all sorts of random artifacts... from locally recovered arrowheads, to an old telephone and camera, to some great old pictures, to antique clocks. While we did enjoy checking those out, we learned much more from the woman...who walked around with us explaining and expanding upon the info that was there. She was very friendly, and full of interesting tidbits about the community and it's history. The kids loved talking to her, and she laughed and was 'interested' in what they had to say as well. Before we left, she even fired up an old victrola and played us a few albums... to which she laughed and danced with us... the kids loved it! Quite a random little place, but glad that we stopped. Apparently they host all sorts of events, and have new exhibits every month... so we'll probably wander back in again sometime. And hey, it's free! If you live in LO and/or are interested in it's history... I'd suggest a stop. Not a place I'd drive across town to visit, but it was definitely a fun and educational experience.... you have to appreciate those who preserve and teach others about local history [or at least I know that I do!].
