Restaurants, apartments, retail, and farmers market draw visitors
"I view Mercato Grove as an example of efforts that haven’t all been successful amid the trend of Portland restaurants expanding outward." - Eater Staff
"Set in a massive apartment-and-retail development in Lake Oswego at 4055 Mercantile Drive, Mercato Grove functions as a Chefstable 'campus' that feels like a restaurant row: a crescent of spots where diners can move from egg-topped carbonara to rhubarb pop tarts to griddled mortadella sandwiches and then stroll to Fills for soft-serve sundaes and Berliners. Within a single development visitors can find steak frites, salted caramel Berliners, hardcore sandwiches, casual pastas, wood-fired pizzas, and an impressive lineup of beers; Chefstable plans to build a much larger shared outdoor space so guests can eventually get dishes and drinks from multiple restaurants and share them at one table, but for now the complex is best set up for a food crawl." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"Located at 4055 Mercantile Drive in Lake Oswego, Mercato Grove is the new development housing recent openings such as Lardo and Grassa, which are currently offering takeout and delivery before onsite dining begins in July." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"A collection of ChefStable restaurants opening within the new Mercato Grove development in Lake Oswego, arranged around a shared outdoor dining area like a restaurant plaza and bringing several of the group’s notable concepts to the suburbs as a destination draw." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"As a six-acre, U-shaped multi-use development, Mercato Grove will bring restaurants, 206 apartments, retail, and a farmers market to Lake Oswego; the building is arranged around a 5,000-square-foot outdoor dining area with restaurants facing each other and a Fills Donuts kiosk in the center. I note that COVID-19 has shaped the design and construction — from plexiglass details to upgraded air handler systems — and that indoor dining might not be possible at opening, so the space was designed to favor outdoor service. The restaurants will operate with a shared liquor license so diners can mix-and-match orders and gather in the common outdoor dining area, and the rollout includes staggered delivery starts in April and May 2021 with onsite service planned for June 1." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
