We go to this west-side restaurant often. It's one of the few west-side places that's not downtown, and just a 10-15 minute drive from here. Great seafood, cocktails, and lots of other great stuff! Highly recommend

Great burgers and beer in a hip, lively spot in NW. Love the wood carvings depicting Pacific NW scenes. Gluten-free individuals can even get gluten-free beer and hamburger buns there. One of our favorite places for a casual meal. Be prepared to wait, though!

Nearby wine & beer and food & coffee
Just a few minutes away by car are a few places to get coffee, sandwiches, and pizza. You can also walk to the places on Skyline, just north of the Hwy 26 overpass at Sylvan. Subway is next door to Starbucks. Wine & Growl is downhill from us on Beaverton-Hillsdale Hwy, also just a quick drive.
Great selection of wines & beer and good food, too! Buzzing place, so don't expect to find a table right away!
