Flambe

There is not a chance in you leaving this resteraunt unsatisfied. It is a fancy little place in Oregon city, it is so unexpectidly charming with great food, fair service, and affordable wine. I would tell you to dress to this resteraunt formily but dress casual if you like. more

I've lived in O.C. all my life, and have always wished for a nice restaurant that could match the quality, ambience and service that you find in downtown PDX...well, here it is. We have made this place our destination for special occasions. The food is outstanding. Don't miss this gem! more

We are most impressed that Oregon City has an upscale restaurant/bar. Make no mistake; it's cozy, quaint, warm and inviting. The service is very kind and responsive to your needs. The staff are most accommodating. The salads are extremely good. The Oregon Blue was a nice blend of mixed greens with toasted hazelnuts, pears and blue cheese (a little steep at 7 1/2 clams for the area, but very nicely done). The entrees are plentiful in portion and priced right. Our table had various dinners: lamb, steak medallions w/cambonzola, seafood. All entress were delicious. The lamb received highest praise and the other dishes were tender, tasty and succulent! They have various sides which the chef choses for each entree (the starch), but you can ask for substitution, they are most willing to please. Dessert was nice, mostly all made on site and what an effort the pasty chef has made, a job well done! You can tell they are new, still getting their feet wet and trying new things, be patient with this diamond in the rough. Now on to the most important part: the WINE list. The prices are NOT outrageous (Thank you!). The friendly wine steward is not pretentious and has selected some great local as well as choices from afar. We are wine geeks, ourselves and appreciate good selection at a fair price. As long as they keep their prices this competitive, we'll become regulars. It's a rare thing when a place doesn't charge 200% or more mark up on a bottle of wine, trust me, they don?t rip you off here. If we have to make a complaint here goes: the plates are not hot/warmed, so the food cools quickly. Hot plates would be a bonus. Some of the dishes were a bit salty, and the main entry is a little rough and offers little waiting area to sit. Otherwise, we will continue to induldge and come back often. Thanks for a special treat, our night was great and we recommend Flambe!!! Please keep your wine prices reasonable!!! Pros: Wine List prices-very reasonable, starters, entrees and desserts. Service is excellent and friendly Cons: Entry needs some sprucing up, cold plates for hot food more

My husband and I had a GREAT experience at Flambe last Friday night. We had never been, but I had heard about it from a friend so we decided to try it. We couldn't find any reviews on City Search and were a little unsure of what to expect. We went in deciding to be the first to review this fabulous place. Oregon City needs more restaurants like this. I was totally impressed with the menu, the first thing to catch my attention was the Russian Stroganhoff made with julienned filet mignon and a heavy cream sauce. It was TO DIE FOR! I have always loved Stroganhoff but this was something else. I have told family members it is the best I have ever had. My husband ordered steak and the demi glace was so good! The rest of the menu looked so wonderful it was hard to decide. The waiter was so professional and helpful with the menu. He suggested a fantastic chocolate cake for desert that we tried and were very pleased with. It felt very comfortable and relaxed. Great place. I liked the decor. We definitely found a place that we will visit again and again. more
