Everything was great except the menus they have online is NOT the menus they have in the restaurant & the prices are alot higher. They need to update their menus on here. The clam chowder is the absolute best I've ever had! Normally I wouldn't pay $10 for only a cup of chowder but this was worth it!!!

We flew in from Utah and this was literally our first stop! My husband did his research on where to eat and this place was rated so highly he couldn't pass it up. From start to finish we were mesmerized not only by the beautiful location, the decor and atmosphere but the staff were also amazing. Everyone was very friendly and came up and talked to us. We both had a few drinks, the crab dip appetizer as well as the salmon soup and for our entrees my husband got the salmon and I got the house salad and added chicken. The food was over the top amazing and definitely cravable. We talked to the owner and the manager, and are very sad to say that the restaurant will be closing the end of December so if you're in the area of please go see me and taste this beautiful spot for yourself! We fly out on Monday but plan on stopping before we head to the airport!

The atmosphere and service was excellent. Friendly staff seem to enjoy their job and there was a nice mix of seating options both indoor with a view and outdoor. Our server Devon was wonderful, just the right amount of attentive, excellent service. The food was good, they have a large menu with options to please every kind of eater. Taking off a star because the $40 dungeness crab pasta had 1 descent bite size piece and the rest were tiny, barely there shreds. Good sauce and well cooked pasta but the price for a couple tablespoons of crab is excessive and it didn't even come with a slice of sourdough or side salad. The clam chowder was good, but again very skimpy on the clams and it didn't come with a slice of bread. The elote side is a must try! The coconut shrimp was delicious and perfectly cooked but the side of veggies had very little flavor and were over cooked. We ordered the sourdough bread with fig butter which was delicious and worth the price, but when you are paying $30+ per person it should probably be included. 4 adults with appetizers, entrees, a couple of drinks and dessert was over a $200 tab. We did have a NY steak as an entree, it was cooked as ordered, very tender but the crust was lacking and it should have come with two sides for the price.

We came here last Sunday to celebrate to celebrate my sister's bachelorette party. The food was good, I highly recommend their fries. The service was wonderful, and the team was accommodating of our requests and party size. I will definitely return when I'm back in town again.

I am gutted that I have just found out about this place last week. Since then Ive been twice, both times being unforgettable! Ali is the sweetest and treats you like family! The food is just as good as the atmosphere and service. Hana, our waitress, was beyond sweet, and Earl has a great personality. Take note, as soon as you walk in you are treated with such kindness. I wish the owners the very best!

We arived at the opening time and we’re seated immediately at a table with a gorgeous view of the Columbia River! Our server was friendly and welcoming! Our food arrived quickly! We had diverse entrees that we enjoyed! I really liked the crunch of the Sprouts and Flowers and spicy sauce! The menu has lots of fun option to try! After the lunch we walked along the riverside which was so beautiful on a rainy day! We will definitely return.

The Cod fish and chips were good. They're good size and not a lot of breading. My husband had the Korean pork salad (I guess) . Don't remember the exact name. He said it was okay. We had this pork strips that were spicy for appetizer. I think it's a little too sweet for me. The restaurant has the right view of the river, which is very nice. We're coming back again and will try the other dishes.

What a beautiful establishment and equally the people that work here. Our server Meghan Is a sweetheart and very attentive to our every need. She made our visit very enjoyable and a big reason to come back if only it would be before the end of December! We ordered the crab dip as an appetizer That was absolutely full of crab and artichokes, So delicious. For my meal I ordered the salmon that came on a bed of quickly fried broccoli, cauliflower and brussel sprouts. Best salmon I've ever had! My wife ordered the house salad and added chicken. She said she would absolutely order this salad again And it was plentiful. For dessert we ordered the key lime pie and so glad that we did. One thing that was noticeable from the get-go was how attentive the staff was and not just Meghan but all the staff. You could tell they really enjoy where they work. The Manager and the owner both made it to our table to welcome us and to thank us for choosing their establishment to celebrate our 14-year wedding anniversary. It was absolutely special that they would take the time out of their busy day to stop by our table And congratulate us. The meals were unbelievably delicious and when they brought them to the table it looked like it was out of a magazine. You can tell here that the staff take great pride and their work and it shows as a plates that they serve. Definitely get a piece of key lime pie if you're here you won't regret it. Thanks to all of the beaches staff for making our anniversary that much more pleasurable. Thank you all for making us feel so welcomed.
