Today I tried the new Oswego Grill in Lake Oswego. My hat is off to Dave Burnett & crew who opened recently during these challenging economic times. First of all Dave did a terrific job on taking a Chilis Restaurant and re-creating it into a first class restaurant that is very comfortable & enjoyable. We all know the build out is only a fraction of what makes a new restaurant successful, it's all about what the kitchen delivers and service. Oswego Grill scores 5 stars in both departments. The lunch we had was terrific and very well priced for the quality. It is exciting to have a promising new restaurant in Lake Oswego. I drive by the restaurant every night on my way home from work, and have noticed the parking lot jammed. Good reason, it's a hit. Another key element to the success is having the owner on the floor mixing it up with guests. A lost art in the world of faceless chain owned eateries.
We are looking forward to having dinner soon! Heres what you need to know.

Loved it. Won't step foot back into Stanfords.

No need to bash Stanfords. The regular menu is very good. The bar menu needs work but it looks like they made it so you won't try to make a meal off of it like you can at Stanfords. The decor is beautiful but some of the staff should learn to be more attentive. Just my .02
