"good vegan options in hood river seems to find that it should be easier in 2019, but unfortunately it does not seem much to choose. in this connection is not bad, but not in any way. the service is quite reliable, but eating is inconsistent. on the positive side the hummus attizer is solid and comes to dive with crackers, brot and a small cup sweet. it is a fairly small portion for $9, but was the best part of the meal. after that it was downhill. the veggie burger is vegan without cheese and served on a Ciabatta beer. while the planter is tasty, the bungalow was hard as if it was left behind by one or two days. the salat that accompanied the burger was good. the calal and farro salat (vegan without cheese) was decent enough, but at a time when the cal salads are everywhere, could have been much more tasteful. the mushroom and vegetable quinoa bowl looked good as described on the menu, but what arrived on the plate was not what I expected. it would be better described as quinoa risotto mixed with some mushrooms, vegetables and garnzo beans. the first bite was ok, the second bit less ok, and through the fourth bite I had enough. there were easily three tassen or more quinoa on the plate, so I can't mistake it on the portion size, but who will eat so much quinoa in a meal? side of fries arrived cold and looked like the scraped from the bottom of the basket. the server has replaced it with fresh hot pommes. they have a great choice of beer, so if they are, they will probably be happy. but unlike that, there is no reason to choose pfriem over solstice pizza a block on the street or one of the other hood river restaurants with vegan options."

"I try this restaurant every time I stay at Best Western. This visit was for dinner. I think they’re still trying to iron out their menu/recipes. There’s still something not clicking palate wise but, they’re getting closer. I sat at the bar and was delighted by the professionalism by Matt, the bartender whose impressive wit, charm, memory, timing and client familiarity brought me back to a time where dining out was an exception and spot on service an art form. Thank you for that. And now for the meal: First was bread (which was presented as, “You want bread? uh, yeah! It arrived quickly with olive oil and balsamic. I love that. Kudos for bread service at an Italian-inspired menu restaurant. Starter: Manila clam appetizer was written well, but did not deliver the flavor I expected from the addition of saffron. Not terrible, just not as advertised. Salad: mixed greens were mostly baby beet greens which have a tough stem (yes, even the baby greens and should be used sparingly. Toasted walnuts and Gorgonzola were mixed together and quite indistinguishable. Would have tasted better with candied walnuts and a fruitier dressing. I didn’t really care for the overly-Earthy flavor profile here. Main: Arrabiatta ok, this is the one I’ll warn you about. It does list garlic as the 1st ingredient. Boy is it ever! Not as a part of the simmered sauce but, wok-fried hot as the base of the dish. Well, it exuded roasted garlic odor and was quite uncomfortable to eat. I was starving and I managed to pick out most of the visual cloves. Really overpowering. I would recommend the dish, it had potential. Just order it without garlic. I’m positive there was plenty in the sauce without the weird roasted addition. I took leftovers to room (honestly couldn’t keep pasta in room due to the garlic odour….. . Took a slice of olive oil cake to enjoy after a bit of digestion. Cake was pleasant and needed the balsamic-soaked strawberry sauce (wish there was more, like a strawberry shortcake. Chantilly cream would have knocked it out of the park . Wished the berries were sliced. They were visually and texturally unappealing macerated whole. Sigh. I will keep trying. Hoping. It’s a fantastic space right on the Columbia riverfront reminiscent of 5 star steakhouses of yore with dynamite views of the Columbia river and Hood River White Salmon interstate bridge with a glorious outdoor dining space. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served here. They will prepare your food to go and to enjoy in your room with attention to detail including all the paraphernalia you’ll need. This is soooooo close to being 5 stars. I’m confident they’ll get there."
