Out Aza Blue - Restaurants in Gales Creek, Oregon, USA

We never knew this place existed. We've driven past it a hundred times on the highway6. The food is so good. I had the Dungeness crab and spiral zucchini Alfredo. Amazing! Ciders by Helvetia brewing. Beautiful views of the river. This will become a new favorite place to go.

I have been wanting to try this place for a while. When the opportunity came up..I went. Made my reservation for the heated outdoor patio. Took a good friend and made an evening of it. The place was nice..but the patio tables could have at least had some kind of cushions for the seats. And we had to ask to have a heater brought over and turned on. We sat down at 7. And the cool air off the creek was nice..and an amazing backdrop to eat with. But it left a lady in a skirt a bit chilly. The waitress didn't seem happy about haveing to make us comfortable. We ordered the Saturday night dinner for two. Four course meal.. with plenty of food for two. The bacon wrapped, gouda stuffed dates was the appetizer. I was impressed with the flavor. And the drizzle of BBQ sauce was not only decorative but really brought out the smoky bacon flavor. The salad..was a Niscoise salad..with an amazing seared tuna steak. Excellently done. The tuna was not over cooked and had the right amount of seasoning to compliment the meat. The vegetables were fresh and the kalamata olives lenses enough salty to cut the vinegar in the dressing. Well done . For the main course we opted to upgrade to a ribeye steak that was presented atop a large bowl of mashed potatoes and a creamy crimini mushroom gravy. Again..the presentation was on point. The steak was cool well. I asked for medium rare..it was a bit more medium than rare..but that wasn't bad at all. My only complaint with this course was it was a bit bland. Had there been salt and pepper on the table..problem solved. Otherwise, it was a great cut of meat..and the potatoes were very nicely done. And for desert..the Irish pudding with hints of butterscotch. Absolutely delicious. The salted caramel on top of the pudding, which had a texture of custard almost, made this pudding top notch. And hints of butterscotch..is just that..a hint..not overpowering at all. And once again presented well. I would like to see a regular knife in the offered silverware.. something with more edge than a butter knife. Especially when sharing food with someone else. They did bring a steak knife for the steak. But I would had preferred a ..sharper.. knife with the rest of my meal. Hard to cut bacon wrapped dates with a butter knife. And they were more than a mouthful whole. I In all.. I had a good time.. the food was worth comming back to try other options. And the price was more than fair for the amount of food we received. Thank you Out Aza Blue.. and I will see you again soon.

A gem near Forest Grove! This restaurant could compete with downtown Portland top restaurants. The menu, local produce, and attention to detail make this place a perfect date night or family gathering. Make sure to call for reservations because the schedule shifts week to week due to private events, holidays, or bookings. Definitely get the baklava and attend a wine pairing dinner night. Cheers!

Cool place. Excellent food. The steak and taters were awesome! Bacon wrapped figs are to die for! And of course crème brûlée, so good!

Absolutely AMAZING! From appetizer, soup, entree and wine...Chef did not skip a beat... it was EXTRAORDINARY! I live in IL, but somehow I need to find a way to get back here! Everything was made fresh, great quality and presentation. Customized based on what I had a palate for. Top notch! Don't even hesitate to check it out, you will not be disappointed!

We went for the Friday night Surf and Turf. Amazing and magical. Food portions generous and definitely showed off the cooking skills of the Chef. Service for the 5 courses keeps on time and makes the meal pleasant and not rushed. Surprised to finally meet Chef Gabriel at the end of our meal so we could compliment him. This place is definitely worth the drive to Gales Creek area. Can't wait to go back.

OMG If you come here you will not be disappointed! Guaranteed. The Sock eye salmon was amazing. Every thing on my plate was amazing. The Chef is a fantastic guy. Came out and talked to the patrons. I told him I was from Pennsylvania. He kindly welcomed me to Oregon. I told him I would put plugs in for this place back home for those who visit this area.
