Back to the topic of Nicolas. If you live in NEP, they have also have a restaurant at about 31st and Broadway.
 
Deep fried cheese curds and oyster shooters for lunch. Don't mind if I do.

I was there last night. Meat Meza and the Chicken Kabobs. The bread seemed a little stale or something. =\
 
Any ideas for Wilsonville or Tualatin?

We go out with salesmen/repairmen once in a while, and I've yet to be really impressed here in town. Oswego Grill, down by the Fred Meyers is quality made, but very boring.
 
Just had dinner at Veritable Quandry.... so bomb diggy. Osso bucco was on point

VQ is my standard go-to. I know most of the people through wine industry connections and the fact I'm there once per week (used to be 3-5 times per week). Bacon-wrapped dates FTW!

Wankers Corner, Abella Kitchen, Oswego Grill in Wilsonville (they have some decent Mexican joints too). The McMenamin's there is one of the better ones. Hayden's in Tualatin. Sushiville is decent.

La Provence is pretty tasty, too.
 
Yes, but the poster asked Wilsonville/Tualatin. That's LO. I could make a huge list of recommended restaurants if we're including additional cities.

Sorry, my bad. I saw Oswego in your answer and also have no sense of spatial awareness for cities in the metro area.
 
Nuestra Cocina on about 20th and Division is off the hook! So good!

Their spicy margaritas are off the hook!

Right across the street is Bar Avignon. Another favorite of mine. Great food, great oysters, great drinks.
 
Yeah. I just had to make fun of said douchey 16-year old.

After that, I tried ordering liter-a-cola.

Yeah, the only problem with Cocina is there's always a wait.

I've always wondered about the place across the street. Oysters you say? What kind of food do they have?

lol. I asked them since it's the 'Original' Wow burger does it make it a chain? And they said no, there are only two locations in the nw.

Portland food without being pretentious. Always a simple menu with at least one of each of the following for entrees: seafood, poultry, pig, beef, vegetarian. Good soups, good salads. Their menu is online.
 
They get some of the best local oysters. I only like them raw on the half-shell. I usually get a mix of the daily offerings with this light lemony-icy dressing stuff. Bomb-diggity. Better than Ace of Base, so it's definitely the tits. Patrick and the owner (I forget his name at the moment) are bomb dudes.

I love them raw on the half-shell. I'm quite the oyster connoisseur. I got introduced to them when I was young and going to my grandparents beach house in Rockaway. My mom's friend owned a seafood store in Garibaldi and we'd practically get as much free oysters as we wanted. I think I was probably 10 years old when my dad talked me into shooting a raw one. I actually liked it when my brothers hated it. My relationship with oysters since then has been a match made in heaven.

I've tried them in that lemony-icy way at South Park seafood. Bomb.
 
Some restaurants piss me off with their oyster shooters. I don't need tons of filler. Just a little bit. Mainly me and the oyster. Like Acadia. I don't need a double decker shot glass full of bloody mary seasoning.
