Tavern On Kruse - Lake Oswego

The terrace on a summer evening is beautiful! It also adds a lot more seats, although you should still need a reservation. The service is good. The menu changes with the seasons. I like to try seasonal specialities. I love Gazpacho and it was fun to try a new variety with melons and avocados, although I would like to spicier it. The presentation of the pig's stall was beautiful and it was very delicate. The cocktails are also good! I have consistently enjoyed my meals and this time I also enjoyed the jazz band music in the background.

I?ve been going to this restaurant for years and it had always been good, but our last few visits were really disappointing. My husband and I both ordered the chicken and it was horribly over cooked, basically jerky. Our waiter was really nice and gave us one of our dinners for free. The time before that we were with a group celebrating an anniversary and our waiter was awful, rude and uninterested in helping us. I suspect they?ve had some turn over and the high quality they used to have has slipped a bit. They are no longer worth the cost.

We went for dinner on the patio at Tavern on Kruz to celebrate a friend's birthday. We had been there a year ago and had a lovely dinner and service. Last night's experience was extremely disappointing. The food was very poor! Everything was overcooked, pasta, flank steak, and fried chicken. Vegetables couldn't be substituted for the mac n cheese, only French fries. Why? Is a small serving of a vegetable that much more expensive than French fries? The strawberry shortcake was absent fresh strawberries but did have a few tiny strawberry pieces that were sugar soaked. The entire desert was so sweet I couldn't eat it. The virgin margarita was mainly orange and not much lime. The food delivery was well paced, but the waiter never came back to check on us. We had to ask several times for water to be refilled. The music was too loud for conversation. Frankly the place reeked of management/ownership more concerned about than quality food and taking care of their guests. Very disappointed and never intend to return. There are so many better restaurants in the area.

It is a nice place with creative food with some classics. The drinks were excellent the food different, the green chill chicken eggs could of used some hot sauce in my opinion. Must of been short staffed or something. Easily worth a try and would of been 5 stars aside from the wait for the check .

Nice atmosphere, and good food. To be honest, the food is a little too fancy for me...at least that's how I interpret it off of the menu. If you like fancy food, check them out!
