The food was delicious and a good selection of seafood and other variety of dishes offered. There is even a station for omelette and crepe! Definitely recommended!

Not serving their popular weekend brunch buffet for the time being, but able to order menu items.

Jerry King & his team offer friendly & knowledgeable service, a great selection of local ingredients and an amazing view of Colombia River. I appreciate that dogs are allowed in outdoor seating areas.

The Shrimp and Gritz exceeded my expectations. It was buttery nice, servd with seared pork belly. It paired well with a spicy mary and a fresh cup of their satisfying medium-roast coffee.

The salmon was excellent. Seafood chowder as an appetizer was delicious in the cold weather

Everything is great. Try the peppercorn steak. They do it right.

Views are nice but for food quality, service, and ambiance it is overpriced. Food isn't bad by any means, but presentation is lacking and for the money there are better options.

Very bad place for dates. The chairs are to far from the table to speak closely. They do not dim the nights at night which creates an uncomfortable glare when trying to enjoy the view

Asked the desk clerk her favorite local joint and this is where she sent me! Great meal & loved the local oysters on the half shell!

The food and service are good, but very overpriced. Much better food, much better value, and better service can be found in Portland. Place feels worn and stodgy. Grandpa would like it.

Do not get the calamari nor the scallops, both were very over cooked to the point of a rubbery texture. Definitively not worth the money. The staff was very nice though

The crawfish during brunch hours on the weekend!!

Poor service. Waiter poured the rest of the wine from a first glass he served into second round one because he needed table space! Overpriced: same fish&fries, same everything as anywhere else

Sit outside in summer and watch the sunset - and bats!

Great selection of seafoods with a great scenic view.

Some of the staff is into wild foraging. Ask them for best mushroom hunting/fishing locations.

Fish and chips (beer battered fries) were great!

Happy hour Fish and chips were heart!

Went for the Sunday brunch... Lots of food, bottomless mimosas and unlimited crabs. I'd be happier if the crab wasn't cold everything else wasn't stale though. Disappointing.

Weekend brunch is fantastic.
