riverside

love the bread!. we atedinnerin the bar & the bread that come with the meal is outta this world! the real butter patties were not cold and hard. score!! service is friendly and prompt.
the menu is rather pricey, if you like pasta fare you'll love it here. i had the seafood fra diavolo. @ $19.00 ala carte. marinated calamari, rock shrimp, pancetta, garlic, mint, calabrian chiles,red sauce, linguine. also tried the calamari, it could of been cooked a little longer but was very good.
i would eat here again, the lunch menu looks a little more in my price range and closer to my kind of food on the fly.
if your staying in the hotel they will give you vouchers for the restaurant. check it out!

the salmon was king!. i haddinnerlast night at the riverside grill primrily because i had been traveling all day and was too tired to wander from my hotel. i expected marginal fare that was a little too pricey for it's own good...and have to say that based on the plentiful but bland ceasar salad thought that's just what i was gonna get. however, the salmon entree was perfect. flaky and crisp on the edges but melt in your mouth tasty in the center. the salmon was pan-sears and served on a polenta that was also quite good. skip the salad course but expect more than you normally would for a best western based restaurant.

mothra says.....food with a view on the river.. on a recent trip to hood river and, after a disappointingdinnerat stonehedge the night before (see review), k and i had a free breakfast coupon for the riverside grill in the hood river inn. first of all, the riverside grill is stylish, modern, fairly quiet (only one screaming kid… & the mom did the right thing and they walked out for a time), and the columbia river view is spectacular.

as you know, good breakfasts can be really hard to find. this breakfast was really very good. k ordered up scrabbled eggs with bacon, fried potatoes, and sourdough bread. i had the croissant egg sandwich with cheese and sliced ham. potatoes as well; coffee for me, grapefruit juice for k. although slow, the quality and courteous service more than made up for the wait. overall, we'll be back to dine again, possibly fordinneras the menu looks intriguing. mothra says… 3.3 of 5.0
