Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Gresham / Troutdale

We had the radicchio salad, beef and pork gnocchi and tagliata. The salad was so fresh and delicious, the Caesar style dressing was absolutely to die for and it wasn’t overdressed (which is a usual problem for me). The beef and pork gnocchi was soft and tender, and the ragu was so flavorful. The tagliata was cooked to perfection and the chimichurri was the perfect compliment. I’m really glad I didn’t let the string of poor reviews impact my decision to dine here. Perfect atmosphere, impeccable service and some of the best Italian food I’ve had in a while. Brava Nostrana!

Second time at MEC and it has become my favorite restaurant! The service was great and enjoy the relaxed ambience!

Really enjoyed brunch. It's been awhile since I've visited, but I see the food is still as great as ever! Chicken and waffle combo was super good, service was very courteous and prompt. So glad they've implemented online reservations. All staff I encountered were really nice and they make you feel welcome.

The wait staff was excellent. The food was unique, appetizing, tasteful, and well presented. The deserts were wonderful. We have returned many times when meeting up with friends as we can always count on a great experience

Food, service, ambience - great dinner from beginning to end!
