Best American Restaurants in Laurelhurst

It was amazing food!! We loved it and we will go back again. We loved the server Tammy. We love David too. They make you feel so special!! It was a great experience.

Toulouse has been our Christmas tradition for 15+ years. Service and food is always excellent. The hostess was superb as it was an extremely busy evening. We had reservations for 6:30 for 5 and they were running a bit late. We were comped an appetizer (a surprise as we were seated only 10 minutes late). We will definitely be returning as often as we can.

I celebrated my birthday with a group of friends and was impressed with the service we received on such a busy night. Everything came out in a timely manner, no drink orders had to be repeated more than once, I had a very nice time and I can thank the service for that. It was incredibly busy and we still were helped with anything we needed. I always love and recommend Joey.

My group of 4 were seated outside for dinner. It was rainy and somewhat cold, and our server offered us blankets to stay warm. There was also an overhead heater that kept us cozy. The restaurant was out of lemonade and sweet tea, but our server offered a "dealer's choice" non-alcoholic drink which was refreshing and delicious. It was a pink drink that had a sprig of rosemary in it (rosemary happens to be my favorite herb). Everything we ordered for food was delicious and cooked well. The hoe cakes (3 in an order) were moist and buttery. The mussels and clams dish was so good, and the sauce they came in was very flavorful with a slight spicy kick. We also got the mojo chicken over garlic rice and the unc's fried chicken which were very tender. The grilled okra with onions as well as the collard greens were really good sides. For dessert, we had the salted caramel ice cream and bread pudding which were just the right amount of sweet. They serve family style here, and all the dishes were ordered were enough to satisfy a table of 4 people (our server recommended we order 5-6 dishes total). The only thing we thought was weird was the last dish to come out was the collard greens which was just weird timing to finish our meal with a side. Your whole order is put in, so things come out as they are ready to serve. Besides that, the atmosphere was lovely, and the whole experience was great. The staff here are very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and helped us make choices for what to order. I am definitely coming back and hope to get seated at a table inside because the music they play in the restaurant is some soulful rhythm and blues.

Fabulous dining experience from start to finish. Our cocktails, appetizers (pulpo and burrata), mains (beef short rib tagliatelle special and eggplant involtini), warm focaccia, wine with help from the sommelier, chocolate torte, and post dinner drinks, were all top notch (and v large portions on the food). Charming and efficient server (Jenn S) made us feel welcome. Lovely ambience although noise level was pretty high due to loud neighbors.
