Stickmen Brewing Company - Lake Oswego

I'm always hopeful and tend to overlook things. Let's be honest, the key is location, location! At least when I'm trying to impress friends with the view of the lake, there's that silver lining...

The outdoor patio offers a lovely setting right by the waterfront. Unfortunately, the food is just average at best—lacking seasoning, often undercooked, and overly greasy. On a brighter note, the beer selection is quite extensive, and the cider options are...

The drinks were decent, but the service left much to be desired. Being the only restaurant by the lake in Lake Oswego seems to give them a sense of complacency, as they don't feel the need to improve their service due to their prime location.

What a fantastic experience! The food was incredibly creative, featuring unique burger steaks, fresh ahi salads, and plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, which was great since we had a diverse group, including four Samoyed dogs who were treated to fresh chicken breast by the staff. The service was exceptional, and the outdoor terrace overlooking the lake is simply spectacular. There were many dogs on the terrace! Our dogs were doing well until a German Shepherd walked by, and our car, which I had tied to the table (I should have known better), decided to investigate and knocked everything off the table! The staff were true heroes, handling the situation gracefully, and other guests even came over to help. We had an absolutely wonderful time and will definitely be coming back! But no more tying the dogs to the table next time!

Be prepared for a wait for the appetizers. Until recently, there were delays and the service was quite slow. However, I wasn't too bothered by it since I could enjoy a good beer on the deck by the lake... I can't complain about that. Yesterday, we visited and noticed that there were tons of new employees. Our server, Curtis, was amusing, helpful, quick, and overall excellent. I'm really pleased they've finally prepared for summer. I do think it would be beneficial to provide an explanation of the Happy Hour area on the menus, but Embroidery is definitely my favorite spot in Lake Oswego, no question about it.
