Reviews for Tavern on Kruse in Lake Oswego, OR
Cool place to play music at, and excellent front of house staff. They covered my drink when it was forgotten, which was nice of... the bartender. I had the glazed fried chicken. The fry on the chicken was amazing, but the glaze was waaaaayyyyy too sweet, andran over the whole plate into the two sides, making everything super sugary and nearly inedible. I've heard other stuff on themenu is really good, but I have yet to try. Read more
Just enjoyed a lunch here. Great service, pleasant outdoor seating (inside looked great as well), and the food was fantastic.... Enjoyed a couple fun and tasty cocktails, as well. Found it well worth the price (which wasn't very expensive, either). Read more
The patio on a summer evening is lovely! It also adds a lot more seating, although you should still need to get a reservation. ... The service is good. The menu changes with the seasons. I love to try seasonal specialties. I love gazpacho and it was fun totry a new variety with melons and avocados, although I would have liked it spicier. The presentation of the pork chop wasbeautiful and it was very tender. The cocktails are also good! I have consistently enjoyed my meals and this time I alsoenjoyed the jazz band playing music in the background. Read more
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 gaveus 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 slippeda bit. They are no longer worth the cost. Read more
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 wasovercooked, 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 freshstrawberries 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 tocheck on us. We had to ask several times for water to be refilled. The music was too loud for conversation. Frankly the placereeked of management/ownership more concerned about $ than quality food and taking care of their guests. Very disappointed andnever intend to return. There are so many better restaurants in the area. Read more
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 5stars aside from the wait for the check . Read more
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! Read more
Nice spot to hang out and get some drinks/food. They mostly have high tops so if that's not your speed you have a limited chance... at one of their regular tables. The food is pretty good, of the things I've had the Crab and artichoke did was amazing. Thesteak was overly salty but still good. When it gets busy, service can be hit or miss but they are Ll really nice people andsuper friendly (maybe just short staffed?) The atmosphere here is great and it's a great environment for work or with friends. Read more
