Amazing ambiance. Just great atmosphere.
Food was fine. Good even. But portions were small. The tuna melt was really good, but it needed about double the amount of tuna salad on it. The seasonal pulled pork was great! Mac n cheese was good, but bland.
There are no tables for a party of six. So only go with a foursome I guess. And bring your own water, since it was difficult to get that!

We love McMenamins and visit the different locations regularly (passport holders). Our only gentle complaint is the menu rarely changes. Core items are the same from Tacoma to Portland, so it does get a little stale for us regulars. But again, we're huge fans and staunch supporters. My husband even proposed at a McMenamins (Anderson School) and we stay at a different hotel every year for my birthday. Highly recommend!

Such a cute spot to get a drink and catch up with friends! They have a great selection on draft and tasty food. The layout is cool, there’s 2 bars and the pool tables are a plus!

Service was just okay.
Filter by “lowest” and look at the prior reviews. Pretty much summarizes the service here.

I'm typically a big mcmenamins fan, but this location has consistently been a miss. I've been there half a dozen times for dine-in, and every time my food has been missing ingredients. Tonight I ordered pickup for dinner, and for the third time at this location that I've ordered the Aztec salad, and they didn't include avocado, which is a listed ingredient - tbh, I wouldn't pay $15+ for a salad otherwise. The extra shitty part tonight was they didn't include any dressing, which is half of the flavor of the salad; Unfortunately, by the time we got home and noticed, it was 5 minutes before closing and we couldn't get it corrected. We essentially paid $35 (before tip) for a mediocre pizza and a salad with beans and tomato. I'm honestly surprised this location has such high ratings between that and the consistently terrible service. Every time I've gone in, the bartenders look like they're annoyed you're there and don't acknowledge you, the servers are hard to find, and everyone working seems like they're in a terrible mood. So, they miss ingredients on your food and then god forbid you try to get someone's attention for a fix or for the rest of your order, let alone another round of drinks. I'll be skipping this location in the future.
