4 Best Seafood Restaurants near White Salmon

“A casual but rather sophisticated food selection with good wine and cocktail choices.“

“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“

“What a great experience! Great drinks, Great food , and amazing staff“

“I was walking by and decided to stop in for some Szechuan beef to go. They had my order ready in just 10 minutes, which was so impressive! The food was piping hot (even 20 minutes later when I got to my hotel), absolutely delicious, and the portion sizes were very generous.

The restaurant itself was lovely, though it was fairly quiet inside since most people were enjoying outdoor seating in the beautiful weather. Overall, this is a perfect stop if you're in the mood for great Chinese food. Highly recommend!“
