Amadeus, Lake Oswego & Amadeus at the Fernwood, Milwaukie, OR P109
 
These two restaurants represent a very tough call.  The food is excellent at both locations.  The ambiance is wonderful with a live pianist playing classical music in Lake Oswego and the Milwaukie location being essentially in a "castle on the river"...very romantic and European. 

So what's not to like?  The prices! 

Perhaps because Amadeus and Amadeus at the Fernwood are listed in the Portland area's "Entertainment '99" books, they have to unreasonably inflate their prices to take up the slack for the essentially "free" meal offered under the "Entertainment '99" guidelines. 

It would be very hard for a party of two to escape without paying close to $75 for two entreés and tip...no drinks, no wine, no appetizers, no nothing.  $75 for two including tip.  And, even using the "Entertainment '99" book, with an "up to $21 value" subtracted from an over-inflated meal, it's still no bargain.

Hey, the food is excellent; the ambiance is lovely...why not pull the prices back into line so folks can eat there without breaking their budget? 

Food: A. Service: A-. Attitude: A-B. Ambiance: A+. Parking: No problems at either location. Value: C-
