We had a spectacular dinner here. 2 amuse-bouches during the meal, beautifully prepared and presented food, the Willamette River view and outstanding service.

Good apps, bread, soup and salad, but very disappointing entrees. We got two fish entrees and both were salty and fishy.

Outstanding food choices, excellent drink menu, and while regular prices are on the higher side, they have an awesome Happy Hour menu from 4-6:30 and again from 9 until closing
