Stone Cliff Inn - Not only a great place for the romantic getaway the Stone Cliff Inn offers unique private dinner parties, banquets, anniversaries, wedding receptions and much more. Located at 17900 S. Clackamas River Drive, Oregon City, Oregon the Stone Cliff Inn sits right on the side of the mountain overlooking the Clackamas River.

Portland's next famous getaway is:
Tad's Chicken 'n Dumplins - This romantic getaway is right on the banks of the Sandy River in Troutdale, Oregon. Only a 20-minute drive from Portland Tad's sits in the Columbia River Gorge National scenic area of Oregon. Sitting on the Historic Columbia River Highway, Tad's is a great place to sit and eat a wonderful, romantic meal while viewing nature at it's finest in Oregon. Address is 1325 E. Historic Columbia River Highway, Troutdale, Oregon.
As you can guess Tad's is famous for their Chicken and Dumplings, served with green beans, bread, salad and a relish tray, however guests can order pesto chicken, boneless breast of chicken baked in olive oil with onions, peppers and seasoning and even chicken livers are on Tad's menu. Tad's also serves Salmon, Halibut, Scallops and Oysters for the seafood lover in your group, or Top Sirloin, New York Steak and Liver & Onions, prices range from $14.50 to $23.00. Tad's also has a children's menu for those families passing by or visiting for a great meal.
Both of these great restaurants are inviting for couples, groups and families, but if you want to pop the question or enjoy an anniversary with a loved one choose one of these wilderness settings to make it an evening to remember.

Post a CommentI have been to Stone Cliff many times. I attended a beautiful wedding reception there. It is a great place for any function, or just for 2.
CJ, you really do bring Portland to life.
CJ, you really do bring Portland to life.
The crab penne caught my attention. Sounds great!
I dare say, Tad's Chicken N Dumplings sounds like a strange romantic place. But they do serve liver and onions, so I'm there! :)
Both sound awesome!
I could use a nice romantic dinner
They both sound great!
They sound nice. Oregon is one of the handful of states I have not been to yet, but I have seen lovely pictures and do plan going there in the next couple of years.
They sound great, too bad they are so far from me!
