July 9, 2026Christina ESo so on food and overall experience
We wanted our last night to be special at a farm to fork restaurant. Everything was just ok and not worth the money. We made reservations ahead of time and got the table next to the kitchen. Although many workers walked by us all night, it was difficult to get anyone’s attention for service. The miso salmon was a miss completely. Overcooked dry salmon on a bed of wilted warm greens with diced sweet potatoes. My husband got the seafood cazeula which was done well. In order to eat the salmon I had to put the salmon in my husband sauce to give it flavor.

Another splendid meal at Celilo last night, which features local Gorge growers and producers and homemade pasta. Such an incredible, professional staff. My bride started with the Gazpacho, which was so fresh like drinking fresh tomatoes. I went for the always great Steak Frites, though was jealous of her Pesto Chitarra pasta, which I almost did not give back. Easily one of our favorite spots in the state.

Hood River gem
We loved this beautiful Hood River spot. The vibe and the scrumptious food made our date night extra special (had the steak frites and the chilled corn soup, plus chocolate cake for dessert—wow!!). But what made for an especially wonderful night was our server Emily. She had such a warm and engaging way about her… that balance of professionalism and warmth is special. We will be back!

Outstanding Restaurant!
Excellent restaurant across the street from historic Hood River Hotel. The service was 5*, very attentive and knowledgeable staff! Beautiful decor and artwork! The food was outstanding! They provide a list of local producers they use. The food was superb! Congratulations to the owners!

September 13, 2024Adam TWell below par stuffy Restaurant
Terrible service. Over-rated. Distinct sense that if your face fits (usually to do with money) then you’d be well looked after. Even simple aspects of service poor. Asked to wait initially when we arrived on time for our booking. Server arrived 10minutes after we were shown to our table - apology bring that he’d been looking after a group of important people pointing to another table. Asked what Sauvignon Blanc wines were available by the glass and got shown a list of red wines because there was a Cabernet Sauvignon in the list. No spoon brought with coffee. The food was ok - nothing special for the money and arrived somewhat piecemeal from the kitchen. If you pay by credit card you have to walk over to a little podium by the servers entrance to the kitchen to pay. And then they take an additional 3% because you’ve used a card. Seemingly unable to absorb credit card fees despite their high priced food. Tries to be high end but ultimately service significantly below par and partisan. First time I’ve not paid service in a Restaurant.
