So good in fact that I had to buy it back in Beaverton because I found Jaws of Damnation, which is THE best rice lager I've ever had. So light and delicious. Perfect spring and summer beer.

Wayfinder was great. And I want to check out the downtown. It's so incredibly cute!!

Like I say before the food cart seem to be the same price as restaurants. So this place will serve no food, but you can get food from the surrounding area and bring it into the establishment. Personally, I'm on a sour kick and they didn't have any sours available so that was a bit of a bummer but we did try two of their seasonal beers and while both were good would've personally picked them a bit different just based on the draft menu. You order at the bar, grab your drink drinks and carry them off to your seat and enjoy it with whatever food you might've purchased from the surrounding areas. It's a beautiful place and I remember it being built and it's absolutely amazing but with my personal taste preference is not my first go to.

A special shoutout to our server, Robin, who handled our party of 35 people incredibly well. She was organized, attentive, and kept everything running seamlessly.

Beautiful atmosphere. For drinks, Ordered the butterfly's…read morerest and it was a must!!! Delicious. Had 5 total. Plenty beers on tap. We had a reservation for 2:15 on Valentine's day. Intentionally set earlier in the day understanding the significance of the day. (Been together over 20 years.) When we arrived my husband kindly requested a window table with view of the water. The woman taking the reservation info advised that she would try, but "so busy" etc. We were sat at a half circular booth that was facing water but set back from water. I just want to note there were 7 tables open at window seating. 3 of which were 2 tops. We did have 3, so essentially for us, 4 EMPTY tables could have accommodated our request. 2 remained empty the entirety of our meal. So I just can't understand why this request wouldn't be granted. Waitress we were assigned was amazing. On top of things, refills etc. We got the wing appetizer, cheese curds, and the wedge salad as appetizers. They were all good. The wings I would get with no sauce. The sauce on them was very ketchup reminiscent. For the entrees we both did the steak frites. Fries were amazing. The steak was sooooo tough. Medium rare didn't save them. Our child got the half pizza and demolished. For dessert we got the cookie with ice cream and the valentines special cheesecake. Both were delicious. Overall 3.5. Could use some help at front. If you don't realize you have that many free tables and could easily accommodate a paying customer the table they prefer, it just simply doesn't make sense. At the end, I did ask manager why we wouldn't be able to sit where we requested and there really was just no good reason. It was just a shrug like it was a busy day. Like I guess maybe saving for make believe guests?? LOL unreal. It's not often I would question things. But this was just absurd. Again, I need to say, our waitress was amazing. Food was fine. Just a very weird experience as far as seating. Like who are you saving those seats for?? Anywho. Enjoy!

Great beer selections on tap so grab a beer and some grub. The only real downside is no NA options for beer.
