“Really nice, authentic Japanese Ramen shop. Ramen is on the spicier side so ensure you order to your taste preference. Rich and flavorful broth. The Calamari was also delcious. Great spot, don't skip it.”

“Loved our time here. We ordered the burrata with beets and it was fantastic — fresh, balanced, and plated beautifully. Huge wine selection with lots of by-the-glass options. It’s clearly one of the most popular spots in White Salmon and it gets busy fast, so reservations are recommended. Great service, great wine, great food. We’ll be back.”

“We were so fortunate to find this unique Cafe with one of the most eclectic and carefully curated menus. The tacos, enchiladas and quesedillas were just the right portions and we could taste the freshness of their ingredients. The crush puppies were a star as were the cider flights. What stuck with us though was how friendly, personable and genuinely kind the staff was. They made it an incredible experience. It was the most grounded and relaxing eating experience we could have imagined. Keep shining and we will certainly be back when we can!”

“The breakfast sandwiches are delicious. I would rather eat a baguette from here, butter and jam than a donut from anywhere else! I could eat here every day. Love sitting on the patio.”

“Pine Street Bakery ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ On 9/15/22, I stopped in Hood River, Oregon to check out Pine Street Bakery. Owner Megan Davis’s mother started Grand Central Bakery in Seattle, Washington in 1972. Today, there are 11 locations between Portland and Seattle. If you ever have an opportunity to visit a Grand Central Bakery/Café, I recommend it. I wanted to try one of their famous Cardamom Knots, which are Challah dough slathered in Vanilla Butter, covered in Cardamom Sugar and tied in a Knot. Unfortunately, they were out. I got a Carrot Cake cupcake ($5), which is one of their best sellers, as well as a Maddie Cake cupcake ($5). The Maddie Cake cupcake is a seasonal cupcake that changes with some regularity. The current Maddie Cake cupcake is Peaches & Cream. It is Vanilla cake filled with Peach compote made from local peaches, topped with a Vanilla Swiss Meringue Butter cream frosting. I enjoyed both cupcakes but my favorite of the two was the Maddie Cupcake because it was so unique. There was a generous amount of peach compote in the center of the cupcake, as well as on top. The compote had great flavor. Both cupcakes were fairly dense but moist. In addition to the baked goods and breads, Pine Street Bakery has Breakfast, Lunch, and Coffee menus, as well as specials. They also sell a lot of other products and fresh flowers. Highly Recommended!!!”

“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”

“It’s hard for me to believe that their rating is only 4.9 stars. I’ve been a customer since they opened and everything they make is superb. They continue to expand their offerings and they just built an eating space complete with beautiful flowers which compliments their very special store. Highly recommend Edeske!”
“Nice spot. Parking can run hot and cold. Excellent shop, well taken care of. Slim on staffing, adequate to the task. Fewer food offerings than some other places, but nothing to knock them on. It was all excellent. Family friendly. Plenty of 4 tops can easily be 6, or taller tables for couples.”
“Great food, great beer, great service. Highly recommend.”

“I was in love with South Hill from the first time we visited. The views of Hood are unparalleled, Trish is a delight, and I have yet to meet a wine of theirs that I do not like. The atmosphere is unpretentious and inviting, while Trish is extremely knowledgeable and attentive, the combo makes you want to stay the whole afternoon. We love it so much we became members!”
