We had lunch at The Waterfront Taphouse today and everything was absolutely fantastic!…read more We started by sharing the breaded artichokes, which were delicious. I had the halibut fish and chips, and the halibut was fresh, perfectly cooked, and so good. My husband had the bruschetta flight with the smoked salmon and tomato basil bruschetta, and he loved both. Everything we ordered was excellent. And a huge shout-out to our server, Robin! She was top-notch--friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience even better. Great service can absolutely make a meal, and she knocked it out of the park. Fantastic food, wonderful service, and a great atmosphere right on the waterfront. We'll definitely be back! Highly recommend!

No iced tea or other soft drinks available. The inside lacked warmth so we opted to sit outside because it was a nice day, but didn't realize how noisy it would be with cars accelerating so much right next to you at the corner, forcing us to stop our conversation a half a dozen times. That being said, the service was good and the pizza was delicious. I just think that they can expand their menu a bit at least with nonalcoholic drinks offered.

When we arrived, we had time to look at the drink options while watching the bartender create a delicate, delightful looking cocktail for the person in front of us.

Quality beverage options are a huge plus for the likely success of a cart pod. This one is a winner.

This place used to be a great dive bar that was very popular with greasy Bikers like me. In recent…read moreyears they have upscaled the place quite a bit. New owners? Interstate still has that "dive bar" vibe but the food has really improved there. Staff has always been great and they still are. They now have roped off sidewalk seating and overflow parking across the street. They are seriously pricey now, especially considering how blue collar Rainier is. But the food is quite good and the portions are generous so that is just an observation, not a complaint. More or less the same "low brow" clientele although you don't see motorcycles parked out front any more so I don't know if they are still Biker friendly or not. I tend to mind my own business so the venue is still fine as far as I am concerned. There are "divier" dive bars in Rainier and at least one more upscale restaurant in town. Actually, Rainier is one of my favorite stopping points when coming back from Astoria because there are so many good places to eat here. You certainly won't regret checking this place out.
