New American Restaurants in Hood River, OR

“Amazing vegan food!! Visiting Hood River. Love this place!“

“On our way back to Pendleton from Portland, we stopped to charge our car. Then walked over to Solstice Wood Fire Pizza for dinner. We decided to order the BLBB pizza, a hot Kenyan Grey tea, and a huckleberry organic lemonade. Our server Brad N did an awesome job making our dining experience a real treat.“

“A great tasting menu experience with exceptional food quality and service. Hood River has been in need of a true fine dining experience and Votum delivers. My partner and I share a birthday and celebrated at Votum. I loved that they have tasting menu reservations as late as 9 pm.

We had to tasting menu with wine pairing and added the caviar. Every dish was excellent, and the wine well-paired. The caviar was some of the best I’ve had. The sable fish and beef tongue/ravioli were standouts, and we loved the multiple dessert courses. Even dishes I don’t traditionally love (steelhead, lamb) were so high-quality and executed so well that I enjoyed every bite.

Nathan provided excellent and perfectly attentive service the likes of which I haven’t had in recent memory. He’s clearly a fine dining pro with deep experience who balances storytelling and service without being intrusive.

Small points of feedback… I understand the aesthetic they are going for, but something feels a bit missing in their current layout and decor. It’s a beautiful building, and they’re going for a minimalist aesthetic, But I would love to see them solicit some design help to bring the atmosphere on par with the food and service in the long-term. It feels a bit more like a big hotel conference room than an intimate dining experience. These things are expensive, and as small business owners I think they focused first on what matters most.

I would recommend they invest in getting their fruit fly situation under control. Totally understand that it is common struggle at this time of year, but other fine dining establishment seem to be able to sort it.

Do prepare for the price tag, as it is substantial, but for us having these types of experiences is worth it. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to my foodie friends and anyone who truly appreciates fine food and service. We had a great time and will be back“

“We are in hood river 3 nights have been following recommendations by tourist guide. This restaurant is the best by far. Food taste, price, draft beer. We order sear salmon cooked perfectly, chicken mochiko is really unique soft tender n crispy, and tasty. Crispy cabbage is ok. Overall my husband said we should come hete two nights in a row. Restaurant is water front, nice view. Highly recommend to book or come early or prepare to have a walk on waterfront which we do and cant complian.“

“Divots Restaurant provided wonderful Views of the golf course and Mt. Hood while you enjoy dinner. The hosts quickly sat us quickly even though we did not have a reservation. The waiter showed up shortly after we were seated. He gave us our menus and drink list. After ordering our food was delivered in a timely manner. The food was delicious and the presentation was great. The atmosphere was very nice. We weren't hurried at all which I appreciated as we are from Las Vegas and were visiting local friends,“
