    Entrance
    Cathy S.

    This was my first time visiting but have heard great things about this McMenamins location with its garden grounds, spa services, and family-friendly movie screenings. The parking lot wasn't too big from where we entered from what I assumed the back of the property, maybe they have more parking on the other side. We walked by the outdoor dining area but they were not open until later on Tuesdays so we opted to dine at the Ironwork Grill with 2 toddlers. They seemed like they were short-staffed but service was still decently friendly, even though understandably a little slower. I wanted the Fig and prosciutto flatbread but they didn't have it which was disappointing. We ordered kids meal and the burger with tots costed $8.25 and did not come with a drink. I did not think it was worth that (see picture). I got the Crab and Shrimp roll originally with Cajun tots, but what came out was the soup of the day (minestrone) which I didn't mind since it's probably better for me anyway, same $1 up-charge cost. There was a good amount of crab and shrimp inside but the bread roll was dry so the soup helped. I will say that their Lunch Box Special is worth it at around $11 for a half sandwich, soup, and salad. Next time I'll get that. Generally I do think McMenamins food is a little on the pricey side and the quality can vary depending on the day or which McMenamins property you are visiting. But I would come back to this location for happy hour, movies, or other events for sure!

    Soaking pool, chill vibes only please.

    This place amazing. Great food and great beer. Lots of drink options for those who don't drink the devils juice. Service is always spectacular like any other Mcmenamins and the ambiance and vibe of Mcmenamins is always a pleasure.

    Fun place to sit, slow slow service, even on a slow Friday night when there seemed to be plenty of servers around to cover the tables. I'd only come here when staying at the hotel. It took an eon to get water - much later than when we ordered our drinks and revived them. We got cocktails to start - both of ours were pretty good, brandy based drinks. For dinner we shared a white flight and weren't really impressed - Oregon has a ton of great local wines and theirs did not make it to the top for me. For food, we got a side salad to share, the sausage pizza and their short ribs with mashed potatoes. Presentation wasn't great on the short ribs but the dish itself tasted good (though not really worth the price tag for the lackluster service). Pizza was alright - crisp on the bottom. As always, with McMenamins you're paying extra for the fun locations and quirky art work. The food and service don't deserve these prices, but when in staying at the hotel, it's convenient. One time is enough.

    Sangria

    Happy hour. Get there at least 5:40pm or earlier. I was here at 5:50-ish and had to argue my way to happy hour prices, since happy hour ends at 6 and the waitress tried to tell me I had to order off the dinner menu. She asked for my drink order at 5:55pm then ran off before I could order food. She came back at 6:07 with my drink. I'd recommend the happy hour Ceasars salad, as it was worth $10, although i added prawns (they only put 4 prawns on the plate) for an additional $10 The cheesecake was superior to any other cheesecake I've ever tried! I ordered 2 different sangrias: the 2-rum based 3 rocks is much fruitier ( if not tropical) than the black rabbit sangria ( brandy based). I still think Mexican food restaurants do sangria best, but it "hit" me the way I wanted with 2 drinks. I love the view of trees and foliage near the windows in May. The other restaurant here, called Pat's Corner had better outdoor vistas, but it was a bit windy today so I opted to stay in at dusk. I had dappled sunlight coming in the windows.

    One of the great things about McMenamins hotel locations is that you have a variety of locations where you can dine. We chose Ironwork Grill because, well, it was cold outside. Beer flight! Yum! I like that the location will allow you to choose different beers or you can go with a set list. They are kind about it and helpful, as well. We enjoyed our lunch and honestly, you can't go wrong with the tots. We always order cajun style, which is basically a cajun seasoning on their tots. It just adds a little kick to it. Tots and beer. Life is yummy! ... .. .. .. .

    It could just be what we ordered; but the food was very rich tasting and probably not the healthiest but it was definitely hearty fare.

    McMenamins is generally pretty solid when it comes to their menu items, and Ironwork Grill holds true to this axiom. After exploring the exhaustive and expansive grounds of the Grand Lodge, we popped in for a quick bite to eat, and were seated in the shaded patio, in the perfect September weather. My wife and I split the smaller of the two Hammerhead BBQ Chicken Pizzas and some Truffle Fries. We both agreed that there wasn't enough "truffle" seasoning in the fries, but they were still thick cut, stout and tasty, breaded and salted nicely, and the black garlic aioli is fan-freaking-tastic! Likewise, the Hammerhead BBQ Chicken pizza is an awesome amalgam of flavors, from the savory sweet BBQ sauce (which was the hidden star of the show, as it is the primary sauce and thus lies sequestered below the cheese layer), crisp hints of cilantro, and the spicy tang of the onions. Really great! We polished off our iced teas, shared our extra fries with the extremely brave and friendly squirrels scurrying around at our feet, then continued our explorations of the hotel and the surrounding grounds, as the sunset approached and the ambient lights began to twinkle to life. A pretty magical evening.

    Had breakfast with my friend after spending the night on the property. Our waitress was a very friendly girl, who took our order quickly and properly then left us to chat while the order cooked. Our coffee was delicious, the cream was fresh, and when the food came to the table it looked great. My order of an Italian Sausage and white cheddar omlette with hash browns was delicious, but the hash browns were cold. We told the waitress and she set about to make that right. My friend had the country fried steak & eggs with creole gravy. His plate was decadent looking. He said it tasted amazing too.

    Local red wine

    A gem in a hidden spot amongst the Tualatin Valley. You can always expect the same. The tots with dipping sauce are a must. Coupled with a salad of choice. Those for an easy Thanksgiving, it was a breeze to reserve for my husband and I. Less than 1 minute to book a traditional turkey with all the fixings. Paired with seasonal pumpkin cheesecake, and the best old fashion. Stirred not shaken, and a pallet pleasing Pacific NW wine. Service was readily available. And carefully thought-out table placements, made this a joyous Thanksgiving.

    Enjoying the leftovers from our Christmas dinner order!
    Nic M.

    If we could give you more that 5 stars we would. We ordered Christmas dinner and it was so very good I had to risk the wrath of my mom to tell her it was better than hers... she didn't believe me so she's not mad but I know the truth! Thank you so much for making us a wonderful delicious meal.

Yet their website states the following: Sunday: 10:00 AM-9:00 PM I do see they have 4 stars overall. I gave it 5 stars a year and a half ago. It definitely doesn't warrant 5 stars. The scheduled hours in the front window area is missing half of the numbers. The threshold is filthy. The knife in my roll-up had something crusted on it. And we were told very nicely, by our server Johana, that she hoped the Chef would come back, as he had left earlier. Whew...he came in after we were there about 10 minutes. We arrived at 4:00. And the last irritant...the music sound level. I wanted to ask Johana to turn it down, but just put it off. We were told at 10:00 Casa Lola becomes a night club...fine, but at 4:00 on a Sunday. Johana was terrific and the food was good. My Al Pastor Tacos were okay. Not great, but not bad. Black beans and rice accompanied all of the dishes and they also were good...not great. My wife, being a vegetarian, had the Enchilada's stuffed with carrots and potatoes. She loved the sauce, even though it had queso fresco on top, as she had requested none be served. Again, Service 5 stars, Food 4 stars, Misc. 0 stars It will be interesting to see if the restaurant is open one year from now.
