    Pasta dish
    Atwater Villager G.

    Our party sat on the patio in the incredibly beautiful Columbia Gorge evening. Dog- friendly, human-friendly staff served up a memorable meal for our stay in Stevenson. Great entree choices. It was quiet on patio and lively inside (on a weeknight). DO eat here.

    We ordered dinner to go on a Saturday night. Service was sufficient, and the wait for our food to be ready was about 20 minutes. The wild sockeye salmon cakes were delightful, with a nice crunch and a tasty sauce on the side. The smoked salmon alfredo was so satisfying, creamy and flavorful and quite unique. My boyfriend enjoyed the smoky garlic shrimp, and even though it was a large serving size, he finished every last bite. We were hungry, no doubt, after a hike earlier in the day. But everything about our meal was impeccable, and we were very pleased with our experience.

    Visited as a guest from American Cruise Lines. Convenient location, just a few blocks from docking. Per the pics, the quantity of the food was more than plenty. The burger was a two-hander and the bowl size of the tomato soup was enough to feed two. Food was hot and excellent taste/quality. Our water glasses were kept full and service was commendable. Highly recommend.

    Took a nice drive out to Stevenson, WA on a sunny spring weekend Saturday! We stopped here to get a bite to eat and cocktail before checking out the Carson Hot Springs. We shared a spinach salad with a delicious garlic dressing and a bacon burger! The fries were so crispy and yummy Topped the meal off with a slice of their Smores Cheesecake! Our server was great and kept our cocktails full!

    Refreshing lemon cocktail. Was very sweet.

    The service was amazing, very friendly as soon as we walked in. The food tasted really good and was not too expensive. The grilled chicken Cesar salad was my favorite out of everything, the chicken tasted really good. The place had lots of cool posters on the wall to look at. If you sit in the outside, you get a nice view of the lake.

    Great service, ambience, eclectic menu. Full bar, good beers on tap, fish out of the big river. Excellent staff

    Moving up in the ranks. Had their Reuben. It's pretty legit. I get my dressing on the side. I'd recommend the same. It tastes weird. I guess it's traditional maybe. Anyway lots of good meat. Sauerkraut is good but not too cute. The bread is really tasty too and not soggy. Top five all time for me

    This place is a destination spot. We live about one hours drive and we come here just for lunch. The smoked salmon fetuchini Alfredo is absolutely to die for. The salmon is nice and Smokey, perfectly cooked and just like you would like you salmon. The pasta was creamy and picked up all of the Smokey notes from the salmon. They other wonderful entrees but we can't seem to order anything but the salmon Alfredo. It that wasn't enough we decided to split the lemon cheese cake. This is a flavor of cheesecake we'd never had before. The cheesecake was creamy and bright with lemon flavors. Nothing tasted artificial. It was a perfect finish to a great meal

    Excellent high end meals with unique, passionate and impressive service and quality. Worth a visit…read moreif you're in the area looking for a top meal. Don't think of this as a golf club restaurant but more of a top choice for a nice dinner or nice meal in the area. My wife, mother and I were staying at the resort next door to the golf course and decided to give Isadore's with no prior research. Being from Seattle, the menu and approach from Isadore's and their effort to be a high end restaurant serving unique high quality cuisine was terrifying. In Seattle, a restaurant with this type of approach is going to be awful, pretentious, tiny portions and expensive. Isadore's was the direct opposite with stunningly unique food, excellent service and a very warm inviting vibe. We enjoyed Isadore's so much that not only did we eat dinner here but we returned to enjoy their lunch menu the next day. The people working at Isadore's were truly a cut above as everyone we met from the host, to our waitresses, to the other service people, to the Head Chef, to the owner were already incredibly friendly and extremely passionate about Isadore's and taking care of their customers. The host was a very young lady who could not have had a better attitude and who was so friendly to us. I was also highly impressed with how hard she was working always cleaning or doing something while not attending to her hosting duties. Our two waitresses were spectacular with good humor and great effort taking care of us. The real reason I am writing this review is the steak I had here was one of the best I've had in recent memory. An incredibly unique blue cheese crust with Portobello mushrooms on top of a flavorful perfectly cooked NY Steak. I've have never had a blue cheese crust on a steak before and it absolutely rocked my socks! My wife ordered the same thing and she has been known to hurt people and start fires when her steak isn't cooked correctly. Both of our steaks were nailed with complete perfections at two different temperatures. Exceptional! We tried lots of different things here. My wife loved the clams she got. The different types of bread were all awesome! My mother was raving about this place during the entire trip. Out of everything we had here across Dinner and then lunch the next day, everything was great to exceptional. Really had no expectations walking in but walking out was completely blown away. Isadore's hit it out of the park in virtually way. My mother was even raving about how fancy she thought the bathrooms were. We really loved Isadore's and would go back any time we're in the area!

    We're back! 2 weeks later than my last review because the Gorge, Brandy our gracious and loving…read moreserver, dining tent deck view/ambiance, FOOD and "gluttony memory" called us back! An epic Breakfast menu for foodies and standard fair breakfast/brunch lovers is new and ON at Clark & Lewie's - designed and prepared by Brandy's husband and chef Tony! A "first" review challenge for me: How to write in "groans and sighs." Because words just won't accurately communicate the sophisticated, savory flavors, texture and clear love of food like we experienced. Crepes. Yes crepes! They offer two varieties that I couldn't choose from, so they offered one of each! The first is bacon, cheese and egg, and the second with ham/cheese and raspberry jam? The first bite - oooooohhhh - the texture that hits your mouth says "do I have your FULL attention?". And the first auditory responses are moans, groans and a few unsavory expletives....for which you quickly apologize to your dining partner. And your eyes lock on your food and fork - and then partner - with some serious "affection." Holy crap! Then the biscuits and gravy...equally not your standard fair with ample extra creamy servings of love and satiation. We also had to try an extra side of their potatoes obrian which are also not you standard fair and clearly trying to hold its own as a lead entre vs side. Moist, savory and incredible dipped in the gravy:) And then the bloody Mary's! Please note in the pictures the massive thick piece of bacon, that they cook in the oven with cayanne and brown sugar! And ALL of this backed by a scenic Columbia riverside view with its sleepy, eerie and calming mountain peaks, clouds and shimmering light. I must again reference our (local) server Brandy, and her incredible multi-talented husband Tony- they are the heart behind your entire dining experience. Brandy's piercing blue eyes radiate her love of what she does and her life with her large family here in the gorge. Richness in every level that pleases all your senses and soul. Oh! And with a bag full of breakfast leftovers, we ordered a full serving of their famous beef and elk stroganoff to take home as well!:) We'll be back!
