Scenic Railroads
The Mount Hood Railroad offers a delightful journey through the stunning Hood River Valley, with the iconic Mount Hood serving as a picturesque backdrop. This heritage railway, steeped in history and dating back over a century, originally connected local farmers and foresters to vital markets. Today, it invites visitors to experience its scenic excursions aboard vintage train cars from the early 1900s.
The Mt. Hood Railroad Rail Bikes tour was so much fun! This is a great way to get outside and have fun with the family, or on a nice sunny day date. Krissy, the guide, is very bubbly and full of information. Whether you go on a hot summer day or a cooler sunny spring/autumn day, you will have a great time. The rail bikes have an electric assist that can do all the work or help keep you going so you don’t have to peddle so hard. Whatever way you choose to ride, you’re sure to see some beautiful scenery, learn some cool facts about the area, and taste some delicious treats at ‘The Fruit Company’ and at ‘Mt.Hood Winery’.

Fantastic train ride! Really well organized from start to finish. The train ride wasn’t too long at all, the scenery was gorgeous, the stop at the Fruit Company & the winery was so fun! Cannot recommend enough!
Flaherty R — Google review
Our group of four, (ages ranged as young as 12 to 35), had such a great time riding the train carts. Our host, Krissy was super funny, pleasant, and knowledgeable. We felt safe and had such a fun time. We stopped at the Fruit Company and checked out Mt Hood Winery during our excursion. The children are allowed in the winery, and we enjoyed the stunning view of Mt Hood as we relaxed before our journey back to the train station. The staff were kind and so helpful. We highly recommend checking them out! It’s a perfect summertime adventure.

We had the chance to go on the rail bikes and my friend and I had an amazing time. The tour Guide was amazing and funny. Lots of good jokes and riddles. The Rail bikes were really fun and the views were beautiful. We got lucky and had a bright sunny day that was not to hot or cold. Though id love to go during a gloomy day and see the different scenery during that time. It was easy to ride. Peddling was fun and at times tough but the electric motor helped a lot. Overall, we had an amazing time and would LOVE to come back!

My son got a gift card to the railroad for his birthday & we went on the fall train ride. We had an incredible time! I would say if you have a busy kid then I would bring activities to do on the train & pack snacks. I do love that you can bring your own food & bevs. They do have snacks, food & beverages (NA & alcoholic) for purchase on the train which was fun to have a mimosa as you’re looking at beautiful scenery. The stop at the fruit company & winery was well worth it! The taco truck at the winery was so freaking good! I would definitely do it again but maybe without kiddos. We had a good time with the kids but I would definitely be able to take a lot more in without a 3yo & 6mo. 10/10 5 stars, very good time nonetheless.
Justine O — Google review
The train ride was fun! The destination was simply another gift shop, a quick wine tasting and a hidden taco food truck. Suffice to say the 45 minute stop was disappointing. Nothing there for kids. The train staff and the ride was great though!

The rail bikes were a very unique and fun experience! I loved all the sites we were able to see that you normally wouldn't on foot or in the car. The colors of the trees in the fall were absolutely beautiful! And our guide, Krissy was awesome, I loved all the funny jokes she shared.

Brewery
Double Mountain Brewery & Taproom is a popular brewery and pub that has been serving innovative craft beers since 2007. Located in Hood River, it offers a spacious brewpub-restaurant with a menu featuring wood-fired brick-oven pizzas, gourmet sandwiches, and other delicious pub grub. The venue regularly hosts live music events, making it a favorite spot for locals and visitors alike.
We went to the overlook location on a rainy Sunday afternoon. The music was flowing, the people were kind, and the food was delicious. We got the meatball sub that was a little spicy, but full of melty cheese, and on the best, perfectly crispy roll. The Caesar salad was insanely good, with just a few too many croutons. The kids cheese pizza was perfect, and the garlic chicken pizza had the best extra touch of fresh thyme. With a great selection of beer, ciders, and cocktails, this place is a gem. Sorry the photos aren’t the best because we ate before we took them.

Cozy atmosphere and very spacious interior. They had a bingo game going on with fun prizes. Not too crowded on a Sunday afternoon. We ordered the margarita and salami pizzas, and they had the perfect thin crust and high quality toppings. Service was fast and the staff were nice. We also ordered the spring mix salad with feta cheese which was a nice palette cleanser. They have clean and accessible bathrooms.
Kaleya K — Google review
Food was good. I added chicken to my salad but the chicken had zero seasoning or flavor. Would have been nice to have some sort of flavor. Service was sub-par. Never offered to refill my drink (I gladly would have had a second) and I waited nearly 10 minutes for a check even though I was clearly finished. Place wa only half full too. The screaming child placed next to my table for the last 15 minutes also killed the vibe. I would pass on this place.

As an individual who lived and worked in New Haven CT, We couldn't pass up the opportunity to try their pizza that is noted on their menu to be New Haven style pizza while we were visiting our daughter in Oregon. The brewery is very big and we we seated immediately as we arrived mid afternoon. Our server, Jeremiah, was quickly at our table asking for our order. We ordered beers to give us time to look at the menu. In order to properly test their pizza against the New Haven style, we ordered the required cheese pie. We also ordered a pepperoni for one individual in our group. We were pleasantly surprised in how close it was to the coveted New Haven style pizza. It was thin crust , it has the proper amount of char underneath, however it was not up to standard on the flop test. It was a little bit too stiff. Otherwise it was really good 😊. I did find it odd though that when we asked who at the restaurant was in New Haven and brought back the pizza style... He said the owner who lives in Ohio??? Not quite sure how that figured in, but we are glad he brought it to Oregon.

Great Drinks, Tasty Snacks, and a Fun Atmosphere! While running errands in Hood River, we stopped at Double Mountain Brewery for a quick snack and drink. I was pleasantly surprised by their great selection of ciders, and the iced cider was absolutely delicious. We also ordered the loaded pretzel knots, which came topped with beer cheese, sour cream, green onions, and jalapeños—they were so good they disappeared in seconds! The staff, from the hostess to the waitress, was friendly and welcoming. The brewery itself is spacious, with plenty of seating and cool chalkboard art showcasing the beers they have had on tap over the years. They also have live music in the evenings, making it a great spot to hang out. I’ll definitely be back.

As an Italian on holiday in the US, what can I say about this pizza...well, it was awesome. Crispy as it should be, excellent ingredients, it was a surprise. Not to talk about their beers, they were really stunning. Service, good, maybe a little "too fast" for us Europeans, but that's ok, I understand that's the US style. Prices? Not cheap for us compared to our standards, but as I say as usual, that's price to pay if you want to hang around the planet. Well done guys.

If you’re ever in Hood River and looking for a cozy, welcoming spot for lunch, look no further than this absolute gem of a restaurant. Tucked into the charming downtown, this place has everything you’d want in a laid-back, feel-good dining experience: warm ambiance, friendly staff, and most importantly—incredible food. We stopped in for lunch on a whim, and honestly, we couldn’t have made a better choice. The moment we walked in, we were greeted with a relaxed, homey vibe—wooden tables, soft lighting, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to stay a while. The staff was super friendly, making us feel right at home without being overbearing. Now, let’s talk about the pizza—because WOW. We ordered the margarita and sausage pizza, and it was nothing short of amazing. The crust was that perfect balance of crispy and chewy, with just the right amount of char from the oven. The margarita pizza had a fresh, vibrant tomato sauce, gooey mozzarella, and just the right touch of basil to give it that classic Italian flavor. The sausage pizza? Next level. The sausage was flavorful and slightly spicy, pairing beautifully with the melty cheese and rich sauce. Every bite was packed with flavor, and before we knew it, the whole thing was gone. But what really made this lunch unforgettable was the guy with the crazy hat. We ended up playing a game with him—totally unexpected but so much fun. He had this wild, colorful hat that looked like something out of a fantasy novel, and he was just radiating good vibes. It’s not every day you get to enjoy incredible pizza while sharing laughs with a total stranger in an epic hat. Honestly, this place is a must-visit if you’re in Hood River. Whether you’re craving a fantastic pizza, looking for a cozy spot to relax, or just hoping for a fun, unexpected experience, you’ll find it here. Five stars, no question—can’t wait to come back!

The beers are a bit heavy on the flavor, especially the IPAs. But they do have a pretty large selection to choose from. The pizza was pretty good, got a classic pepperoni for the table.

It is known for its housemade craft beers and light bites, as well as offering apparel, gifts, and growlers.

We live in the Portland metro area and my wife visited the Hood River location 7 months ago with all her girlfriends. She brought me along this time. Lucky me 😄 We are looking forward to trying the Milwaukie outpost soon. Our server Tami was absolutely delightful! The food was on point, looking amazing and super delicious too. Would definitely recommend anybody to visit. There are a lot of options for gluten-free food, which I am grateful ❗ Hmm ..If you made a gluten-free beer option I would give you 10 Stars 🤩

We are so glad we found this spot! Came here with our large dog who they were happy to have. Food was delicious- the elote salad with chicken was so good along with the pimento cheese burger, you can taste the fresh ingredients. Beer was also delicious, got the fresh hope pale. Camille G was our server and she was excellent!! Gave us wonderful travel recommendations and even better service. A must try place, especially if traveling with your furry friend!

We’ve been wanting to come here for years, and it did not disappoint. Obviously, the beers were amazing and the food was so good. Whatever I was expecting - this exceeded it. I had the jagerschnitzel, which I have to have every time I see it anywhere. It literally was the best Ive ever had. Better than grandmas. (Sshh) The eating area was smaller than expected, but it was welcome. It is a brewery, not a restaurant, and the smaller area made it seem more intimate and special. We bought some beers we haven’t found at home. Our waiter was personable and great at his job. Definitely will be back and bringing friends.

Popular with knowledgeable servers and a variety of seasonal pours. Pub food is above average with atypical items such as green chili verde as well as typical dishes like fish and chips. A map on the menu shows where they have sourced ingredients regionally. For beer enthusiasts, this is the place in Hood River.

pFriem always has some interestingly flavored beers. So it is great to get a flight when you come. They also serve up delicious food. We got the sausage links and braised Verde pork. Both excellent options but if you go, get the pork. It was delicious

What a great place! Had the Czech dark pilsner and the Oktoberfest, both were excellent! And the food.... omg the food.... Had the special, sauerbraten, and it was melt in your mouth delicious. Not as good as my Oma's, but she was born and raised in Germany, so that's a tough bar. Absolutely go drink this beer and eat this food!

I love Fries beer and buy it back in Portland but the brewery highlight really is the food! I had the jerseys chicken sandwich and my friend had one of the specials which was pork shoulder wrap. Both dishes were amazing. I love that they also had side option of watermelon, something lighter than fries. Service is amazing and our server was super helpful with order recommendations. I wish I remembered to take a pic of the food but we dug right in I will definitely be back next time im in Hood River. If youre going for lunch id recommend going slightly early like 11-1130am because a little after 12pm there was a line/wait list to get in. I totally understand why.

Lots of breweries and small eating venues. Parking is a pain . Adding new lots but all make you pay. Parking at the " hook costs money as well. Its a nice place other than the smell from the sewer treatment plant to the west nd the Tofu factory in the middle. Just be prepared for lots of people. Especially on event weekends. Its a world renowned place for windsurfers.

Such a beautiful park. There is so much to do from swimming to kayaking to the children's playground. There are public restrooms but they were not very well maintained, so that was the only downside. So many food trucks and dining options around that we didn't have a problem there. The park itself is very clean and well maintained. A plus for tesla owners is that there is a supercharger right across the street from it.

Specialty Museums
The History Museum of Hood River County, located across from the marina, offers a unique opportunity to delve into the area's rich history. The museum features exhibitions and artifacts specific to the Gorge, including local inventions and even the first windsurfing board. Despite being small in size, it provides a well-thought-out experience for visitors interested in learning about Hood River's local history.
For only $5 admission this museum was a wonderful time!!! The museum curator was extremely knowledgeable and kind. Plenty to see, we spent almost an hour in there, but definitely could have spent more. And we were the only ones in there! We recommend to anyone in Hood River. We came from Tacoma!

Well worth the entry fee. The videos of Indigenous people of the Columbia River was well done along with the various displays. Luhr Jensen hall brought back nice memories and historical insights. Agricultural and windsurfing displays along with paintings of Mnt. Hood were not to be missed.

Exciting exhibits with a timely and informative nature! Specially, the exhibits and public talk series on the history of wind related sports in the Gorge was amazing! It brought out the pioneers of technique and inventors of equipment in a series of talks that attracted 70-90 locals to each event! The museum displays some of the equipment going back 50+ years!

Checked out this museum on the start of a short central Oregon history tour. The museum is fine, but it is relatively small, especially for $8. Fort Dalles and especially the museum in Fossil seemed more interesting and worth the time and cost. I've been to Hood River many times and this was the first time I visited the museum. I'll probably wait another number of years before I return.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I visited the museum in Hood River and was pleasantly surprised by the small details that made the experience memorable! They had the most ornate fridge magnet of Oregon I've ever seen – a must-buy souvenir. The bathrooms were incredibly clean and easily accessible, which was a huge plus. I also appreciated the clear signage on the door; it was a lovely sight and made everything much easier to navigate. Highly recommend stopping by!

This is a small, but well-thought-out, local museum. While not posted, an admission discount is available to active-duty military members only--veterans do not qualify. Lack of resources prevents necessary operational maintenance on some of the exhibits. That aside, we enjoyed our 1½-hour visit and do recommend it if you find yourself in the Hood River area.

Solstice Wood Fire Pizza - Cafe & Bar is a charming eatery that offers wood-fired pizza and country Italian seasonal dishes, along with a selection of local wines and brews. The restaurant provides a family-friendly atmosphere, complete with a play area for children. Guests can enjoy an array of delectable American and Italian cuisine made from the finest seasonal and organic ingredients sourced from local purveyors whenever possible.
I visited Soltice wood Fire pizza & bar from Tijuana, Mexico, and it was a great experience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The restaurant is cozy, with tables inside and outside, perfect for any budget. I ordered the Coho Salmon pizza and the Siragusa Pear pizza, plus a pasta that was the monthly special and everything was 🤤 . The service was very fast and the waiters were super friendly. Also, the town of Hood River is beautiful, quiet, and a very nice place to walk and enjoy. I really recommend this restaurant if you want good food, a nice place, and great service. Definitely I will come back asap!

You might in fact take flight with how windy it is sitting on the patio. However, it can be very refreshing. The drinks are definitely a mix of interesting flavor combos and look bright and airy. The caesar salad was alright but the croutons were almost too tough to eat. The pizza is great! They also have a food truck around the corner that you can grab food and soft serve from. The waitress was very friendly and attentive to our needs and was sure to get our check very quickly, as we realized our parking was about to run out of time.

We ordered a siragusa pear pizza off the regular menu and a chanterelle and grape pizza off the seasonal specials menu. The flavors were perfect and the cook was spot on. The crust is so light and airy and has amazing flavor. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Hood River and plan on making it a regular visit when in town!

American restaurant
Nestled in downtown Hood River, Celilo Restaurant & Bar offers a woodsy-chic ambiance and a commitment to sustainability. The menu features contemporary farm-to-table cuisine with locally sourced ingredients such as grass-fed meats, fresh seafood, and organic produce. The full-service bar boasts award-winning Oregon wines, local craft beers, and classic cocktails.
We did not have a reservation but just so happened to walk in right at 5 when they opened and offered us the bar or the tables next to the bar, since there were 4 us they put two of the tables together for us. Rachel was our server and she right off the bat was amazing helping us with wine pairings since we kind of knew we wanted the steak….Rachel was just the cherry on top of our great meal here. She was patient and so pleasant with us. Come for the food and definitely wanted to stay for the service.

We had dinner at this restaurant yesterday. We arrived at 8:00pm. It was busy for Wednesday night. The hostess was in the back so we had to wait a little to be seated. Our waitress with dark hair was friendly. I got their special: Spring Veggie Pasta. I didn't ask for the price, but later I looked at the receipt and did the math. It was about $35.00. ***They charge a 3% fee for credit card payment*** The veggies were fresh and the sauce was not overly strong compared to other restaurants in the states. It was good. My partner ordered the Cecili Burger. He wasn't able to finish it so I was going to for him. The burger was on the dry side and the fries tasted bitter like they were burned. I have a big appetite and hate wasting any food, but I wasn't able to finish it. Lastly, I found the hostess disrespectful. She said nothing to me or even didn't look at me when we walked in and out. Even my partner noticed it.

Another splendid meal at Celilo last night, which features local Gorge growers and producers and homemade pasta. Such an incredible, professional staff. My bride started with the Gazpacho, which was so fresh like drinking fresh tomatoes. I went for the always great Steak Frites, though was jealous of her Pesto Chitarra pasta, which I almost did not give back. One of our favorite spots in Oregon.

Celilo Catering catered my wedding at The Orchard Hood River. And it was INCREDIBLE! Celilo provides not just dinner for your wedding, but an experience. You can smell the food being cooked in the open kitchen, you can see the garden where it came from, and when it's time to eat, family style dining created the feeling of an intimate dinner party with all your people. And, of course, it was all delicious! Our guests LOVED it. The catering staff was wonderful, as well. They were friendly, accessible and anticipated needs seamlessly. They truly made all our guests feel taken care of and made the day feel easy for us.

Although the fancy schmancy-i-ness of Celilo is a bit in contrast to the outdoor rec scene of Hood River … there’s plenty of clientele to support it! In September, it was a cornucopia of fresh, local produce. The assorted cheese plate was more of an assorted fresh local fruits and cheese plate. Nearly a whole plum, what appeared to be a plumcot, tart pear and a beautiful fresh fig complemented eclectic local cheeses (one w a “gin rind”). An ample local wine menu as well. The Baro red was so rich & raisiny-black cherry yummy. (Was told the vineyard was hit by the Lyle fires last year so unclear it will be available much longer.)

Amazing ambiance with beautiful woodwork. We had delicious cheeses, shishito peppers, pesto, salmon & a burger. The service was attentive and friendly.

Had a wonderful meal at Celilo. Just a simple beer and hamburger after a long day hiking. My top priority when choosing a restaurant is one that serves organic food or has a heavy farm to table influence. Locally sourced food from Farmers that care always tastes better. As you can tell by other reviews for Solo, the food is unquestionably very well prepared. In my case, it was no different. They have a few equals in Hood River when it comes to locally sourced food prepared to an elevated level.

Breakfast restaurant
Broder Øst is a trendy spot known for its Scandinavian breakfast and lunch offerings, as well as an impressive selection of aquavit, all served in a stylish setting. The restaurant offers a unique and upscale dining experience with its fresh and delicious Scandinavian-inspired dishes like smorrebrod, Swedish meatballs, and Swedish hash. It's described as the kind of place where you can enjoy Norwegian eggs and bacon instead of the usual fare.
The best breakfast experience I had during my trip to Colombia river gorge. This place is cozy and stylish and serves an amazing Swedish food. I had a Swedish breakfast board and loved every element of it. Rye bread, cheese, smoked trout and not too sweet granola yogurt- everything right to my taste! My husband loved his Swedish hash on a cute skillet as well. Nice place to have breakfast or brunch if you are in Hood River.

So cute! Love Broder in Portland, I was surprised to see it out here. Super cute and an easy yes for brunch. Tasty food and a nice variety of breakfast and lunch to keep everyone happy. One funny thing: The barista almost knocked me over when we were entering the space, and then he looked just mad the whole time and then he got our coffee orders wrong. Knocked a star for service, maybe he was just having a bad day. Everyone else was great. I like the location in the cute hotel. Sweet spot.

It is a nice place to have brunch at. The Scandinavian decore and menus are great. I had the Swedish meatballs which came with delicious breads and onion and cucumber pickles. I love how they focus on showcasing the fresh ingredients, rather than heavy sauces and added flavors. Note that they tend to get pretty busy on the weekend. We put our name on the list and waited for about 50 minutes.
Joon P — Google review
Found out about this place on a Reddit thread and I cannot be happier that I did. Everything we had was absolutely amazing. Drinks: The drinks were well thought out, proper cocktails, not your typical brunch cocktails made with juice or just thrown in liquors. Who ever made the cocktail list knows there stuff. Made with Scandinavian liquors and flavors. Food: The food was also tasty and unique. They use bread from a local bakery that is made with sourdough starter and I cannot stress enough how obsessed I was with it. The burger was perfectly made! We ordered it with chevre which was a white saucey cheese situation I was not familiar with and made for a unique burger that I have not tried before. I might have ordered cheddar cheese instead, personal preference, but that does not mean the chevre was not worth trying… it was delicious. We fought over who got the last Swedish meatball, spectacular! The Danish pancakes were very tasty, warm, and fluffy… along with a lingonberry jam and lemon curd we had them as “dessert”, very grateful our server persuaded us to order the 7 piece instead of 4 piece order. Ambiance: - Very pet friendly! - Our server was kind and very efficient, I wish I got his name. - Music was great and at a perfect noise level for conversation while still enjoying jams. - We went during 4th of July, they told us they had a 30 minute wait and called us back within less than that for a table. I could tell they had open tables but were short staffed and thus were slow to seat people. I appreciate they did a phone call list (you can walk around the town and come back when its your turn) rather than jam people in and make you wait for food. This is clearly a place that knows their stuff and won’t sacrifice food and experience quality. -Shout out to Ian, he was extremely hospitable and friendly. We were trying to figure out where to go next after Hood River and he went out of his way to recommend next places to visit, including lodging and pulling out a map of the “Fruit Loop” and circling where we should go and what activities do where.

Great Brunch spot in hood River. We got lesfe breakfast with smoked Trout which was simplistic and kinda healthy 😁Swedish hash with smoked trout was also great. For drinks , we got an elderflower mimosa which was good but kinda overpriced. Swedish coffee was great. Overall a great place for Brunch! Drinks felt a little overpriced but food and the quality was great.

We got the Æbleskivers and the fritters. It's hard to say which one we liked more! Such a fun place and delicious food. The only downside was it being a bit toasty in the back corner and a few flies.

Absolutely fabulous find! Best dirty Chai I have ever had, perfect layering. The fruit fritters were just perfection, the sausage was lovely and the baked eggs were yummy. The pancakes were delicious and it was hard to decide which was better, the lemon curd or the ligonberry!

Went there for brunch today (11/9). We walked in and the hostess was on her cell phone then got off and said hold on while she texted for several minutes. After waiting around for her she said the wait time would be another 15 minutes when there were clearly open tables in the bar and outside. No one else was waiting. Her phone seemed more important than customer service and it inspired us to turn around and leave. We happily spent our money on another local establishment that made us feel welcomed.

Bakery
Pine Street Bakery is a beloved local spot in the Heights district, offering a delightful array of freshly baked goods and a diverse menu for breakfast and lunch. The bakery serves up an enticing selection of treats such as marionberry cupcakes, chocolate chip cookies, and cinnamon buns that pair perfectly with their hot beverages like lattes and Oregon Chai. In addition to their delectable pastries, Pine Street Bakery crafts bread and baguettes from scratch daily.
Beautiful artisan baked goods, fast and friendly, with a full espresso bar, wonderful home town atmosphere and super friendly staff. I got the Turkey chutney sandwich and the most delicious Everything croissant you could eat. I'll bet everything they serve is delicious.

I was driving home to Montana from California, and stopped in Hood River to pick up some breakfast and lunch, and let my dog stretch her legs. I decided to go out of my way to Pine Street Bakery, because I am a baked goods addict. We have a few good bakeries in Missoula, but this one knocked it out of the park. I bought a cardamom knot, ham & cheese croissant, cinnamon roll, and a loaf of 5-grain bread, all for $19. Now, I fancy myself a pretty good sweet bread baker (having devoted the pandemic to perfecting it, and gaining 15 lbs in the process), but the cardamom knot easily exceeded all my attempts. The crumb was amazing--gluten had great development, with a nice stretch. Not too sweet, and wonderful flavor. The bread ALSO had a great crumb, which is unusual for a whole grain bread. Makes amazing toast. I haven't tried the cinnamon bun yet. The only slight disappointment was the ham & cheese croissant. Not bad, but nothing special there. If I lived in Hood River I would become a blimp. It's definitely worth a stop and a little drive through town to stop here. Best bakery I've experienced in a long, long time.

this place is a consistent win. second time this year i’ve taken a family member from the midwest and on both occasions they liked all the options and i loved what i got. i didn’t get to get one of the calzone/hot pockets because it was a hot july day and i went for the cuban sandwich instead. it was so dope. this time i got this thing that was like a puff pastry pop tart from heaven and it was so delicious. next time anyone i know is visiting and rents a car (live in portland, also service industry) and wants to drive up the gorge i know where to go. your team of professionals is seriously badass and talented, mad respect to you. (in the future i would like one of those stromboli pizza roll ups though, i still live with the regret)

My husband and I stopped here for a quick coffee but ended up eating lunch too. They have a great selection of sandwiches, salads and a few fresh soups to choose from. I had the curry chicken salad. It was delicious,served with small slices of very fresh bread. My husband had the Cubano sandwich, he loved it. We enjoyed it so much I forgot to take photos, haha. He also had a mocha coffee and I had a cup of the daily brewed drip coffee. And we bought lemon cookies to bring home. The staff were all friendly, lots of spaces available to chat with friends or dine solo. There was seating outside, we look forward to sitting outside once it’s a bit warmer. Will definitely be back. Thank you!

I was so pleasantly surprised to stumble upon this spot when I was in town for work. Great, feel-good atmosphere, plenty of seating indoors and outdoors, delicious, creative baked goods, cute locally made snacks for sale, and coffee drinks. Enjoy! Be kind to your friendly neighborhood baristas. 🧡

No wonder this place is getting 5 star reviews. It was a great experience. The cinnamon roll was not soggy with frosting - light fluffy with a caramelized bottom. So different and tasty. My wife got a Cranberry Bran muffin that was good too. Coffee is dark and good. I like that brand Nona Familia. It gets busy so make sure you have time!

Friendly, local, and delicious cafe and shop full of amazing local goodies. Came in for a quick breakfast, and in the process picked up some amazing organic teas, baked treats and fresh bread to take home. Spent a few hours working from my van while parked (hood street parking and relatively level), then decided to grab lunch here too. Tried the soup and their pizza. Soooo good, great portion size and reasonably priced. Everything tasted homemade and top quality. Their thumbprint cookies with local jam are the bomb. The almond croissant and pear pie I brought home to share with my boyfriend were so good. And the rye bread was the best we’ve tried locally while exploring all around the gorge. Best of all, the service was quick and friendly. Both servers/cashiers who helped me were awesome. Had a good chat with the gentleman who took my lunch order. They had a few vegan / plant based options and lots of vegetarian choices to pick from. They were willing to answer questions and check specific ingredients upon request. I came in during the weekday and the place wasn’t busy. Lots of room to spread and they have cute outside sitting. Looks like not sitting inside at the moment though but I suppose you could drink your coffee by the window.

We recently had our rehearsal dinner at Stonehedge Gardens and the evening was perfect. From the food to the atmosphere we couldn't recommend it enough. Mike and his team crafted a menu that my whole group of 35 could eat, which was a feat because we had multiple dietary and allergy restrictions. Dinner was served buffet style and the food was all hot, delicious and had waitstaff attending the buffet. We did an open bar for beer and wine and the in house selections were great, with multiple guests commenting on how good the selection was. Their outdoor space, The Grotto, made for a romantic atmosphere and they provided music in the space which helped keep the whole evening lively. We had dined with them one time prior and also had excellent food and service just for a normal reservation for two. So happy with how the evening turned out and I recommend Stonehedge for your next event or dinner out.

I have lived in the gorge for 6 years and never knew this place existed. The food is on point, delicious, and reasonably priced. Service was wonderful, we had a very delightful and friendly host, everyone treated us very well from the time we walked in until we left. The house is set up to offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and has a nice quiet, cozy atmosphere.

Proprietors Mike and Shauna have kept this fine dining place going strong for many years. Good service and an Excellent wine list compliment a varied menu. Outdoor patio is relaxed and peaceful. The event space is great for weddings.

My goodness, if you live in the area and haven’t enjoyed the tastes and the pleasures of this very special place, sham on you. If you are visiting Portland or the Hood River area and do not fit this place into your schedule, you should check your calendar because something went wrong with your schedule…The Grilled Goat Cheese and the sesame seed crusted Ahi Tuna was a taste bud’s dance of perfection across the tongue. The peppercorn filet was a very different twist on a good cut of beef. Spicy and flavorful. The finishing touch however, was the flaming bread pudding. My very favorite part of the evening however, was the service, quiet simply made you feel as if you were the only table in the place… also, please ensure that you try the house named special cocktail named for none other than Ms Shanna, herself, the Shannacolada. Absolutely cocktail perfection..

While the food and service aemre always excellent, it is the exceptional atmosphere that really makes this an enjoyable dining experience during tge springvand summer months. It is settled back in the woods at the end of a long gravel driveway. You done on an expansive stone patio with tasteful lighting and design. There is evrn a resident kitty that visits. I love ending a busy day here with a delicious dinner and adult beverage.

If you’re looking for a secluded and unique dinner spot, go check out Stonehenge Gardens! Private and spacious environment & amazing food. Service was amazing, and it was a very enjoyable experience. They were even dog friendly for outside dining, which we found hard to find at a lot of other restaurants in Hood River, especially fine dining. We loved it.

We enjoyed an intimate dining experience here. Definitely wait to hear the Specials from the host. I got the King Salmon and it was just perfect. They also have a great wine selection. They are currently not doing outdoor dining and are closed by 9 PM. Call ahead and make reservations to be safe. Definitely recommend visiting this place with your significant other though it might not be the best option if you are a vegetarian.
