What a great opportunity to donate and collect items for the DV with the family justice center while enjoying some great company, making new friends and catching up with old friends. We had the chance to sip on some really great wines and enjoy some tasty small bites. If you haven't checked out this little local winery in Downtown Hillsboro you need to go!!! They have some really great snacky food options as well as a reservation only night that has a full diner. Friday night bites is a cool event in the summer too. Thank you Maxine at DAnu wines for hosting Women in Business this evening.

The decor was adorable. Even on a rainy (then sunny) evening, we stayed dry and perfectly warm. The food they catered (spam musubi, rice, kaluha pork, mac salad, and coleslaw) was amazing. Everyone in our group thought they catered out to a Hawaiian restaurant, but it was all them. My mouth is watering just thinking about the food! I can't stress enough how amazing this place is. Their sister bar/restaurant, Urban Decanter in Forest Grove, is also amazing. Jill really knows what she's doing and only hires the best staff. Support this lovely restaurant!

This I'd say, is a fantastic little hang out! Here's the 411 on The 649:…read more * Parking Situation * Although the location of The 649 is just "where the F" (eye-roller). Because it's somewhat hidden in the corner of a Safeway shopping plaza. Look for the Baskin Robbins or Wells Fargo ATM and your find it. Like other reviews, when busy, parking can be a bit horrendous. But in hindsight, I'm not gonna reduce a star just because of location. * Bar Food Menu & Dining * Their menu starts with shareable bites, like a pretzel, tacos, quesadilla, loaded nachos, and even a charcuterie plate. Slightly larger dishes would be their Cubano and Brisket Press sandwiches. They even have a few choices for soup and salads, and a couple of dessert items listed. Don't forget to check the chalkboard next to the bar for specialty dishes and drinks. As for dining-in, they've got sturdy wooden tables that can accommodate 4-8 people. Bar stools by the windows, and a fairly large outside patio area. And with the times I've been here, I've never seen a dirty table. Very well maintained (two thumbs up). A few TV monitors showing the game, but its not like a noisy sportsbar. * Drinks & Services* You've got your choice of craft beers that rotate like a standard tap room. They also have tasty seasonal cocktails, but their normal everyday cocktails are just as good. And if you're gonna have a charcuterie board, then you've got to offer a wine list option right? Well they got that too! One last thing to mention, they've got some top-shelf bourbon and whiskey. The 649 is a bar that offers it all! Service has also been welcoming and top-notch. I recall only been served by Rich, Steven, and Crystal, but they always seem to craft up some lovely cocktails. Or deliver some clean tasting everyday type of bar food as well. * Last Call * Normally in my reviews, I'd list every item that I've tried, with price included. But The 649 is such a unique type of bar experience that I feel you should try for yourself; To me, their offerings are reasonably priced. Dining in is nothing fancy, but service is excellent. It's a great hangout for a business date, of even after a first date. I've got nothing but love for local support!

I scurried over to the Little White Shed at McMenamins Cornelius Pass out of pure curiosity (and…read moremaybe the faint scent of whiskey drifting through the air), and let me tell you: absolutely exquisite craftsmanship. The humans really knew what they were doing with all that wood. Smooth beams, sturdy structure--honestly, I had to resist the professional urge to take a nibble. (Five stars for temptation alone.) Inside? Cozy! Warm! Not a single predator, unless you count that one guy with the impressive beard. The ambiance feels like a riverside burrow, but with more chairs and fewer siblings crowding the entrance. Plus, the humans seem delighted to bring you treats--no gathering or dam repairs required. Overall, if you're a beaver looking for a charming place to relax, observe humans in their natural habitat, and enjoy the scent of delicious food, the Little White Shed is your spot. Highly recommend. Would chew again.

After a long day of travel, we found Copper River Restaurant on Yelp and made a reservation based…read moreon the Happy Hour menu. When we arrived and were seated, we asked to see the Happy Hour menu, only to be told it was limited to the bar area and restricted to guests 21 and over. This wasn't clearly stated when we booked, and when we raised it, the manager responded rather dismissively, saying it was on their website and noting that other guests had complained about the same issue. That alone suggests the policy isn't being communicated clearly enough. It would make more sense to offer Happy Hour throughout the restaurant, as many places do. Unfortunately, the experience left a poor impression. We left, and won't be back.

First, you can't beat the view, the vast parking lot, and the attentive service. We were a big group and were seated outside, but when it started raining outside the lovely servers helped us all move inside and were so helpful throughout the whole dining experience. The kitchen closes at 7pm but we were able to hang out and chat until 8pm. I was mostly there for the drinks and dessert but everyone's food looked great. The Matcha Tiramisu was not too sweet and very creamy. The house-made cheesecake was rich and decadent and worth every calorie! The fries shared with me were seasoned and crispy with the perfect chipotle dipping sauce on the side. The prices were reasonable and the food is freshly made and tasty. Planning to return for the happy hour deals!

So glad they are open again! Limited menu for the time being, but better than them being closed…read more I had the fish and chips. Excellent! From the lemon slaw, to the rosemary parmeson fries, to perfectly fried halibut, there was nothing I did not like! My wife had the steak salad and loved it too. We had the VR Bread as an appetizer. So not a good idea for two people...unless you are really hungry. You will not leave any left. I think it may be better than Stanfords cheese bread. To full for dessert. The peanut butter milkshake and raspberry lemon cheesecake looked really good on the menu. Great job!

Ardiri Winery is a gorgeous location in the hills of wine country. The wines just aren't great…read more I like the presentation of the wines as you pick your flight and then small carafes are brought out for your tasting. But the server never went thru the wines and explain the origin or the history of the wines. This was a negative as the winery we previously visited had an informative narrative as part of the presentation. There are so many wineries in the Willamette region, and we will continue to taste at many others. But I will not recommend Ardiri as one for new visitors to visit.

Spectacular vineyard, forrest, and Mount Hood (if it's a clear day) views in a cool setting…read more We stopped in with a group of four for a Friday afternoon wine tasting. We didn't have a reservations, but were still able to get a nice fire pit table outside under the trellis. Once taken to our table, we were brought out a pour of their bubbles, such a delightful way to be welcomed while we decided what we wanted to order. Two of us opted to taste and the other two for a glass of wine. Glass sizes were generous pours. For tasting we went with both the classic - red, and bianca - white flights to share. Since we were sharing, our tasting associate was nice enough to give us a splash more of each so we could really try the wines. It was interesting that even though we were surrounded by a vineyard, most of the wine on the tasting menu didn't seem to be local. While the wine was all made by the winery, there were wines made with grapes from both Napa valley and Washington. They even had a blend that was made with both Napa and Oregon grapes. While these weren't necessarily my favorite wines I've had, I still really enjoyed my experience here, and did end up going home with a bottle of pinot. I'd probably skip the tasting next time and go for a bottle or glass, after trying and determining one that I liked.

First, the lovely employee accommodated my request to a white and rose only tasting, and of the 4 I tried, 4 I LOVED. I even took a bottle of the rose to a new years party and it was beyond a hit! I typically only am drawn to chardonnays but the Lilly of the valley white blend was superb as was the rose (and the others). My husband had the charcuterie board and it was (according to him) delicious and we wants to come back again to enjoy it. All said - we are fans, and now have a group of more fans wanting to come out for a tasting (or for the non-wine lovers - a charcuterie board) 10x10 recommend this local gem!
