Best Cozy Restaurants in Milwaukie

I am a Chef that has been in the industry for 30+ years and also Mexican American. This family is crushing it! The service was outstanding my only feedback is that it was hard to hear one of the more soft spoken servers, to be fair I do ware hearing aides so take that with a grain of salt. The oysters with tart apple on top was a great combination. All of the food was really well balanced and cooked to perfection. We ate all of the vegetarian dishes because my whole family is vegetarian except me.The chef is super talented and should be very proud of what they doing. The desserts were fantastic as well. An added plus overall is that when you ask about a wine that is by the glass they offer you a taste first, not everyone does this and is greatly appreciated. We will be back for sure!

I really love my experience here. It felt like I was part of the kitchen and the experience. Great suggestions. All the servers had their favorite things and had amazing input. I can't wait to bring my friends back here.

Amazing food in a great atmosphere. We always live coming to Nicoletta’s Table.

Inventive, German-inspired food, very good wine list, and cozy surrounds.

Third time at Yalla. They have this dialed in! Excellent flavors, nice presentation, comfortable dining room. Service is always "spot on". What impresses me most, is how they handle unexpected situations. We showed up for a reservation (for 4), and they offered a table in the front of the restaurant by the door. Was a little cold and breezy on that day, so we asked for a different table. We were told that unfortunately, none were available, as they had a large party coming in, so many tables had been combined. A minute later, the hostess came back and told me they'd rearrange things for the other party, and offered us a table further away from the door. Very nice gesture - they totally could have just forgotten about it, but they made an effort to be accommodating. Same reservation, we were waiting on one last plate (food is served family-style, so plates come out throughout the meal). Asked about it, and the server told us that she thought it was coming up. She left, and a couple minutes later, the manager came out and apologized for the delay. He acknowledged that they had missed the dish, so he immediately brought it out, with an extra appetizer, and comped them both. Again, could have just brought the plate and not said anything, but they went the "extra mile" to provide an exceptional experience. Will certainly be back.
