Safeway

17779 Boones Ferry Rd
Lake Oswego, OR 97035

Maggie A. writes: It's odd to review a Safeway, but this location is that bad.

The olive bar is cool, and they have a lot of  "natural" stuff, but not much else is impressive.

Once in awhile after going to other Safeway's, I forget that I've sworn off this location and…

Lavang Restaurant

8187 SW Tualatin Sherwood Rd
Tualatin, OR 97062

Sushi Track

Wilsonville, OR 97070

Jen K. writes: This place is one of my top picks when I want to eat lunch in Wilsonville.  Fun conveyor belt style sushi bar and pay by the plate.  And don't tell my dining companions, but the key to a good meal at a sushi place is pole position.  I always sit to…
