falls terrace restaurant

i met a cousin here half way between seattle and portland since we couldn’t arrange to meet elsewhere. therestauranthas a view of the tum water falls which in itself is overrated, but so is the restaurant. the menu was ordinary. the food we ordered was nice but nothing special or great about it.

disappointed. we decided to go here for lunch for our wedding anniversary because we like the food and the view of the falls. we ordered our lunch and a drink and when the waitress brought the main course she asked if we wanted another drink or more bread. we asked for more bread and never saw her again until some time after we had finished eating. we wanted to have coffee and dessert but knew this was going to take forever even though therestaurantwas not busy. we did get the rest of my lunch boxed and the bill but then she disappeared again and we had to take the bill to the cashier to pay. we passed the waitress on the way and she never even acknowledged that she should have taken the bill to be paid for us. i mentioned something to the manager but he didn't seem interested either. this left me with a negative feeling which was bad considering the occasion. i don't think we will be going back there soon.

pretty good, consistent place, nice special occasion option for families. this is a nicerestaurantwith a nice view of the falls, and decent food. the price point is about what you'd expect for a full servicerestaurantwith a view, entrees are anywhere from 15 - 30. i've had everything from salads to prime rib here, and have had nothing stand out but nothing bad either. the service is friendly and again, the view is nice. when we met friends with kids it was nice to be able to take a walk around outside after dinner. very nice, if aging restaurant.

needs updated. for an expensive restaurant, we were really disappointed. the decorations were boring and seemed like it had been that way for a long time. the food was about the same too. my filet mignon was pretty bland as was the rest of our meal. they need to freshen up both their menu and decor. yes, the view of tumwater falls is beautiful, but thats about the only thing thisrestauranthas going for it. i just recommend coming in for a drink and the view---not the food!
