I unfortunately forgot his name (happens a lot lately), but he had been evacuated from Cascade Locks with his wife and two dogs and a cat. He made the evening so special, taking time to pair the wine and recommend dishes. The view and food were over the top, and he was one of the best servers we've had, and that is saying something! We will return, without doubt. Bravo to dinner and dessert chefs, and to the entire staff, including the greeters up front

Very quiet, surprisingly high quality meal and solid service. Great view of the Columbia and menu options were attractive. All around solid choice. read more Very quiet, surprisingly high quality meal and solid service. Great view of the Columbia and menu options were attractive. All around solid choice.

We were not seated until after all those without reservations who arrived before us were seated: 7:25. We enjoyed plump, succulent mussels which were prepared in a delicious tarragon sauce.

However, we were disappointed with the tiramisu dessert. It was served in a cup, which made us think it was not freshly made. A traditional tiramisu is a sponge cake with coffee and chocolate flavors. Unfortunately, we could only taste the chocolate and the sponge was mushy, as if it had been frozen or kept in the fridge. If the restaurant is going to offer tiramisu, it should be served as a slice of cake with a firmer texture.

Our meals were overpriced for the quality of the food. Both meals were average, but based on the price should have been above average.
