A truly beautiful wine.
Bill B.

I"m a huge fan of Bethany Kimmel's Color Collector wine, so visiting the new collaborative wine shop was a must. What I didn't expect was a remarkably deep selection of spectacular wine from around the world. I should have realized that Bethany would use her refined taste, deep experience and curiosity to offer wines I've never heard of. And I loved everything she suggested. The wines offered are not particularly expensive, though there are some treasures. I had eaten lunch before I dropped by, but I regretted doing so, the food looked light, fun, and tasty. This will be my goto wine shop, even though I have to drive across the bridge to reach it. One piece of advice that I hesitate to offer--try the Color Collector Gamay Noir. I don't really want this wine to become popular, it's already hard to get. But I'd be remiss if I didn't at least mention it. I have a fairly extensive wine cellar, and quite a few friends in the wine business. I've tasted great wines all around the US and the world. Color Collector is my favorite red wine. Period. We hosted some Hood River locals for dinner at my winter home in Maui and they brought me a bottle of Color Collector. Such a perfect gift. I was loathe to open it and share. I did, but it was a challenging test of my hospitality. I suspect Color Collector would be great if it rested in my cellar for a year or two, but I'll never know unless I buy some vast quantity. a half dozen bottles never survive more than a week or two.

Love this place already! Been here for 10 minutes! They get wine, they get Service they simply get it! The Ambiance is perfect!!

two glasses of wine on a table

Run don't walk! Three visits within 1 week - we truly can't get enough. The service, the food, the vibes...the WINE - everything is top notch. Trust me when I say this, we will be back many more times. *** highly recommend the tomatoes & the melon and prosciutto ***

Love this spot. It's a great place for a date or solo visit. The wine selection is great and so is the food. A must stop in White Salmon.

This is a nice spot in White Salmon good seating area. We had never been and so turned up a little…read moretoo early (they don't open until 3:00) but made it back after visiting a few other wineries. The seating room is cozy, and I loved the antique typewriters and little wine games on the tables. I was hoping there might be a view of the river given the building location, but apparently the balconies/roof are owned by a hotel in the same building. That said, this was a very cute and cozy spot to sit and taste. The woman pouring was very friendly and she knew a lot about the wines. The pours were pretty light but it's hard to complain when you're paying $15. None of the wines stood out to me, but I liked the Cab Franc best. Both red wines were served colder than I expected, which I didn't mind but I know some people really do. This honestly would have gotten five stars, but there were fruit flies everywhere! They were swarming us the whole time, and several got into our wine :( I think this is largely unavoidable because the entire front wall is open to air, but it did mean we were having to swat flies the whole time we were there.

White Salmon is an unsung gem - shhhhhhh - don't tell anybody! Across the river from the burgeoning…read morecommunity of Hood River, White Salmon is the MUCH smaller, quiet, charming town. CLYZM is a great little winery that was open until 9:00 PM - it becomes a locals' place, for the most part, after about 7:00 PM, when the stories begin! Fine wine, wonderful host, what's not to like!

Upside down, inside out, right side up - any way you turn it, this wine is fantastic!!!…read more A friend who is a wine club member has been raving about their wine for years, and I finally stopped in for a tasting flight. Every single wine in the flight was good, which is rare. My absolute favorite was the Mourvèdre, a serious red with dark fruit and notes of spice. Complex, yet easily drinkable. Their Mourvèdre blend was also a standout. Upside down Wine is located right on Oak, the main street in Hood River and located right next to the clothing store, Parts and Labour. The name is very subtle over the door so if you aren't intending to go here, you most likely will walk right by. Don't! The very stark, modern interior, which feels a bit sterile, comes alive with warmth from the friendly service and the chatter and laughter of other patrons. You can stand along the long bar, European style, or sit at a high top for two or in comfy chairs in the back. Now that I've had the opportunity to visit the wineries in Hood River and the Gorge multiple times, previous faves no longer hold a candle to some of my new favorites. Could be that my palette has become more refined, who knows? I just know that my top 5 list contains none of my original choices and Upside Down wine is now in the list!

Allison was wonderful, friendly, & knowledgeable about her wines. We did a tasting & had a nice,…read morerelaxing time in the shop.

The atmosphere is casual and inviting but the food, both quality and presentation, steals the show. We tried a gin cocktail that was as beautiful as it was inventive. We followed this with the brussel sprouts salad which was lightly roasted but still tasted and looked green in the most delightful way, with some kind of light dressing that celebrates the vegetables in the salad medley without overpowering them. We took Calvin's recommendation and ordered the special which was a three mushroom fettuccine: it was perfection. The pasta was served al dente, the mushrooms included shitake, hedgehog, and one other and all had a unique flavor that stood out with each bite. The pasta sauce was buttery but somehow almost effervescent, embracing but not suffocating, with just enough cheese to know it's there but not enough to have it overpower the dish. At this point we didn't think the meal could get any better but then we ordered the pear, huckleberry, and pluot sorbet made at Celilo and we're now committed to coming back. The sorbet featured locally sourced Bosc pears and that flavor may have been my favorite as it was unlike any other sorbet I have ever tasted. All were sweet but complex. Simply an amazing dining experience that I recommend to anyone fortunate enough to get a table here!

Ordered cheese plate and uncharged for gluten free crackers. My husbands burger was dry and tasteless and very small. The fries were delicious though. I ordered Italian sausage pasta with gluten free pasta. The gluten free pasta was decent but it came with cooked radishes, who cooks radishes?? And a baby boy choy on top very strange combination. We had rhubarb ice cream for dessert very tasty but again the rude bartender was only going to give us one scoop to share until he informed us that it was served in a tiny espresso cup so luckily we ordered our own. Will not go back.

Not a friendly place for large groups…read more We were really the only group of people in there and I thought we'd get good service because of that. Our group came in two chunks and the host seemed annoyed by that. They pushed together another table and sat us together. It was kinda stuffy in the place so I opened up a window as it needed some fresh air. I was told it would possibly mess up the airflow of their kitchen? Some of us decided to split from the main group and sit out on the patio because of the stuffiness. The menu is for carnivores with a veggie burger and grill cheese for vegetarians but not really anything but chips and salsa for vegans. We also found out they only take 1 credit card and cash and no split bills. We were a large group of 14 people. It was a huge pain in the rear to figure out the mess. Honestly some of our party left and went elsewhere when they find that out. Not everyone had enough cash to cover them. When my burger came out they served it to the wrong person and we didn't figure it out for at least 10 minutes. So I got an already eaten plate. It was ok but they should be able to know who ordered what. Our waitress seemed annoyed by us and honestly not that friendly. My burger was overcooked and tasted like cardboard. There were no condiments like mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise on the table. We had to go get some. Just not a good experience here. I won't be back. I ordered my burger and fries and asked for it cooked medium.

I've never had a bad meal at this delicious restaurant! The service is always friendly too.read more

I'd give Riverside Restaurant a solid 4.5 stars based on our breakfast visit…read more I ordered the chilaquiles, and they were excellent, flavorful, still pleasantly crunchy where they should be, and just a really strong version of the dish. Definitely the standout of the table for me. Service was friendly and expedient, which I always appreciate in the morning when everyone is trying to get caffeinated and out the door. My companions ordered the protein bowl, which was a hearty mix of grains and grilled vegetables with your choice of tofu or egg. It leaned a little bland flavor-wise, but it did exactly what it needed to do: provided a filling, healthy base for a full day of activity in Hood River. Not every dish was a knockout, but overall it was a very solid breakfast spot with fair pricing at about $18 per dish.

One of the members of our group told him that she was told that we could order until 5:00 pm. Server said OK and left. He didn't come back until after 5:00 and took the happy hour menus and said we couldn't order off of that menu. It was pretty much down hill from there on for me. The food was OK nothing to write home about. I had lemonade for dinner it was $6.00 a glass and if you wanted another glass it was 6.00 again. They also included the tip on your bill and it was 22%. The server did not earn that high of a tip.
