Guidebook for Clackamas
Food Scene
Stone Cliff Inn- an upscale restaurant overlooking the Clackamas river about a 10 minutes drive from the house. Great food and high ceiling, log-cabin like atmosphere. If you would like to dress up a bit or not (this is Portland after all and anything goes), this is a nice place to go.
This is a very cute, quaint, comfy coffee shop with great breakfasts and lunches too. The inside is European styled and homey.
