The ambiance is diner feel, clean and pleasant. I like the big counter you can sit at. There was one waitress who seemed a little frazzled. Not friendly but not unfriendly straight to the point no nonsense gal. I was super excited they had mimosas!!! I ordered one, and a basic breakfast, 1 egg, link sausage, "home fried potatoes" and toast. The breakfast tasted basic, uncomplicated, nothing spectacular. I ate it, it did the job by filling me up and was reasonably priced. I didn't like that the home fried potatoes were deep fried not grill fried which made them dry and overcooked. My husband ordered a burger which was again basic, not memorable. All in all a great place to stop for an uncomplicated basic breakfast or lunch that can handle large groups.

When we finished and mentioned we were heading to lunch, the dealer immediately recommended Delish Bistro as his favorite spot -- and he was absolutely right. The decor is upbeat with lots of seating. Guests order at the counter then the wait staff brings it to your table. My friend and I each ordered the Chinese Chicken Salad, which was fresh, crisp, and full of flavor. We shared the Garlic Herb Fries were outstanding -- perfectly seasoned and wonderfully crisp -- and the garlic aioli was excellent. Everything was delicious and beautifully done. And each took home half of our salad along with a portion of the fries. Delish Bistro truly lived up to the recommendation.

The waitress brought me a cold tap beer immediately and recommended the Beggin' for Bacon burger with truffle oil fries. I went with her recommendation, and she did not steer me wrong. This bad boy (see photo) was a 1/2 lb of beef with bacon mixed in to the patty plus a couple of slices on top. I was in heaven. Their fries are really wonderful, I ate far too many but with a cold beer what can you do? The wait staff was super friendly. She struck up a conversation about the national park on my T-shirt and chatted for a while. Nice. Umatilla is a pretty sad looking town, they are luck to have such a great establishment there.
