(Highly recommend the falls hike). On our way, we stopped at The Point, just outside of Sweet Home. Not much to look at from the outside and kind of a diner atmosphere inside. Somewhere, I read you had a "view" to the water. As you can see from the picture, it's a view (sort of) to Foster Reservoir. OK. However, the food and service were surprisingly good! I ordered the special of the day, a Chipotle Burger. Cooked perfectly with 1/3 lb local beef patty, bacon, chipotle sauce, lettuce, red onion and accompanied by some very good fries. My wife had the grilled cheese and it was awesome as well. Her only complaint was it had too much bacon. Yes, you heard that right, too much bacon. I also have been trying NA beers and the only brand I have found I like is Deschutes out of Bend. They had a Golden that I hadn't heard of and it was, in true Deschutes fashion, very good. Our server was Becky and she was amazing. She greets the regulars by name, was very helpful and informative, but not too chatty. If we were in this area again, we would definitely go back. Without hesitation. Great find!

As a committed member of this community, I strongly support local businesses--but not at the expense of integrity and accountability. It is unacceptable for an employee, Theresa, to use this business as a vehicle/platform for spreading malicious gossip and falsehoods about others in the community. This conduct is not only unethical, it reflects a serious failure of oversight by the business owner. Such gross negligence will not be ignored. Legal action is now being pursued to address the harm caused. read more

The service was excellent. It's a cool little restaurant in a small town, I passed by after visiting Silver Falls State Park. Additionally I also got a cinnamon roll and it was REALLY GOOD!!

We got a little carried away and ordered way too much but everything was so good! For appetizers I tried The mini charcuterie: perfect single serve size or definitely to share of other appetizers are involved. The bread, apple and jam was my favorite pairing on the plate and the cheeses were really good! Baked Brie and mixed mushroom: who doesn't love a good baked Brie! The mushrooms added a much needed earthy element to the richness of the cheese and it was also smothered in delicious buttery garlic cloves. I with the little bread sliced had been toasted but easily one of the best times on the menu. Steak bites: garlic butter was tasty and the steak bites were soft and melted in your mouth. The bread slices didn't seem necessary but a good appetizer. I ordered the salmon as my main entree and it came with arugula, Brussels sprouts, red onions and tomatoes. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the dressing on the greens was really good. I think there was a little too much arugula but everything tastes really great together. Our server was attentive, friendly and remembered everything we ordered right down to the modifications. Really cool atmosphere, upstairs seating and a crazy looking bar area. I don't see us being in Salem again anytime soon but if the time ever comes we will 10000% be enjoying all of our meals here. Things to note: shared restroom with surrounding businesses. No parking lot, only metered street parking but free after 8:00pm.
