Best Northwest American Restaurants in Cedar Mill

It had been awhile since our last visit, but the meals were superb and service staff stellar. A great way to celebrate V-day with the one I love. Must say, though the prices were slightly elevated, the portions were very satisfying. We were glad that 20-years later, it still has maintained its high quality dining.

We loved our meal so much, we made reservations for the next day! Our server was exceptional, and the food was delicious. The worst part about this experience was in writing this review! Not only did they want my cell number AND then a verification, but then they wanted our email, and ANOTHER verification! It’s not like this is a bank account for goodness sake! We just wanted to give credit to our server!

The new tasting menu at the Jory is awesome. Each course was incredibly thoughtful and well executed. Go for the wine pairings - they are a fun mix of local and international wines, with some fun pairings in there you wouldn't expect. Service was friendly and attentive. The Black Cod and Pork Tasting dishes were our favorites. Add the Jory to your list for your next special occasion meal.

Tavern on Kruse has such a great menu with a diverse collection of dishes that I am always sure to find something that I will love. But the Ahi Tuna Burger is the only thing that I have ever ordered. It is absolutely delicious, and the crispy avocado is a special surprise added to it. I hope that they never take this off the menu.

We went at 5:30 on a Saturday. CL was only about 1/4 full. Service was excellent and professional; menu options are relatively few (4 main dishes), but they were al excellently done and without any problems. The pizza was exceptionally good. About 6:30 they turned on the "background" music that was way too loud. After we requested it, they did turn it down a bit. Note that a 10% gratuity is added for the "back office/kitchen/cleaners", and you can tip the server separately. Personally, I wish they wold just raise their prices to cover the costs instead of adding a 10% mandatory for non-service staff, but that does not detrac from the dining experience.
