Good Food and Relaxing Atmosphere
The server was very pleasant and attentive. The organic chicken sandwich and ham sandwich were good. The onion rings were good, but I did not like the extra salt on the onion rings. Not necessary! The extra salt took away from the good onion ring flavor.

Great things do come in small spaces!
Tucked away in a tiny neighborhood strip mall, this is a cozy place for great food, wonderful wine (to drink with lunch or purchase a bottle or two from their fabulous selection of wines), and always friendly, attentive service (probably should be at the top of the list)!

Good food, Good service
Storefront cafe in a small strip mall. about half the store is dedicated to their wine inventory. They hold regular wine tasting events. That half has upholstered chairs where you can sit, visit and enjoy a glass of wine. The restaurant menu has a good number of lighter options and also includes others such as lasagna. The crab-potato-corn chowder was very good. The spinach and brussels salad was fresh and filling with pecans, cranberries and feta. This location can move several tables together to accommodate larger groups.

Wine tasting
On Wednesday and Friday evenings Santiam Wine is the perfect date night location. Taste six different wines with notes describing each. Excellent food specials. Service is excellent with a great attitude.

Hidden Gem
Quite accidentally we happened upon this little hole in the wall to find an oasis of amazing food. My husband said the wine was some of the best he has ever had... he enjoyed a white pinot with the mushroom lasagna, which was out of this world. I had the stuffed salmon, which was a treat. Even though I eat salmon regularly this was an extra special dish. We shared the brownie sundae ala mode for dessert and we couldn't finish it... it was rich and delightful. What an amazing place. We were traveling and just passing through on a Wednesday, but we understand they do wine parings every week. A great place.
