Best Date Night Restaurants in Camas / Washougal, Washington

Recently, when we are at a couple of great yet casual restaurants in Laguna Beach, CA and Montreal, we saw how there was a number of people who were obviously regulars and we remarked at how nice it would be to have a place like that in Portland. L'Orange is now that place for us. Cozy, unpretentious and completely reasonable, it is that place where you instantly feel comfortable and at ease. There isn't that fussiness and haute haughtiness that have come to define other high dining experiences here in Portland. The food is superb with their inventive takes on French cuisine that throws you for a loop, yet still entreats you with fond remembrances of the melody it riffs off of. The chicken liver tart bears a special mention; it was nothing I would have imagined it to be but certainly everything sublime in the way it tasted. The service was equally as outstanding, discreet yet friendly, the staff navigating the cozy quarters deftly and attentive to the guests' needs. L'Orange deserves every accolade it gets and we are happy to now count this as a place we want to come back to again and again.

During a recent evening at Nostrana in Portland, my girlfriend and I were thoroughly impressed by the exceptional dining experience. The restaurant’s ambiance, with its vaulted ceilings and iron chandelier, creates a warm and inviting atmosphere that perfectly complements its Italian-inspired menu. The food at Nostrana is nothing short of outstanding. Every dish reflects a commitment to high-quality ingredients, masterful preparation, and an authentic approach to Italian-inspired cuisine. The flavors are perfectly balanced, with an elegance that showcases the kitchen’s expertise. The service was attentive and knowledgeable, with staff providing insightful recommendations and ensuring our needs were met throughout our Dinner. In summary, our evening at Nostrana was a memorable culinary journey, and we eagerly anticipate our next visit to explore more of their exquisite offerings.
