Doesn't look like the restaurants at Mercato Grove are doing well. I haven't been, but the it looks like the restaurants are pretty hidden from the street with only a tiny sign advertising their presence.

Two Lake Oswego restaurants to close this fall
Two businesses are closing at a high-profile Lake Oswego dining cluster that opened in the summer of 2021.
Lac St. Jack, the sibling restaurant of acclaimed Portland bistro St. Jack, and Fills doughnut shop are closing in the coming weeks. Both businesses cited a lack of traffic in their decisions.
Lac St. Jack will close Oct. 29, and Fills' last day will be Nov. 23.
Both were part of the Mercato Grove development at 4055 Mercantile Drive in Lake Oswego, a mix of luxury housing and retail that includes outposts of popular Portland restaurants associated with the ChefStable group. The familiar food brands include Oven and Shaker, Grassa, Lardo and Tasty.
"Both businesses are proud of the work they did to bring a fresh offering to Lake Oswego, and build connections in the community," according to an announcement from ChefStable. "Each had success in many forms: delicious food, fun events, good branding and community outreach. The simple reality is that neither could get the traffic and sales needed to make it work financially at Mercato Grove."
