Although the dining area seems more of a tea room than an elegant restaurant, Clarke's makes every effort to serve meals with finesse. 455 2nd St., Lake Oswego, 636-2667. It's as close as non-meat eaters can get to sloppy Americana and homespun solace in a bun, aside from divorcing the beef from the burger at your neighborhood dive. Vegetarian 14125 SW Walker Road, Beaverton, 644-4442. Friendly, efficient, old-school waiters run the dining room serving classic fare such as prawn cocktail, crab, escargot and porterhouse or New York strip.
Dinner comes with biscuits, green salad and baked potato.
