This place.. I haven't stopped thinking about it since we first visited a couple weeks ago. Ambiance, Mt Hood view (from the right seat), their selection of bubbles and the FOOD!!! I can't recommend this spot enough!! Take your lover here, they'll thank you

Burrata and pea shoot salad

Delightful wine shop serving 5 star food. My husband got the celery and date salad which he loved and I sampled and found it to be very delicious and healthy. I got the burrata and spring pea salad and it was so good. We sampled a couple wines and they were very good, we ended up purchasing a couple bottles and the staff was delightful, Friendly and service was quick. Definitely recommend !! outdoor seating was beautiful.

Quite a collection!

This wine shop is adorable and has a fantastic collection of wines! love that they carry lots of Italian and French wines, in addition to local. you can enjoy a glass or bottle there on their outdoor patio, a seat at the bar or one of the tables inside. After stating our taste preference, a bottle of Zidarich (Terah 2019) from northern Italy was recommended. This red wine is made from an indigenous red grape variety that has existed since the Roman times. It was fruit forward, but not overly juicy or bold. We enjoyed it along with a baguette topped with cheese and prosciutto, served hot. A perfect pairing on a beautiful, late summer afternoon in the patio. If you have mobility issues, like me, best to enter through the back door with drive access from the side street to avoid the very steep stairs at the front entrance. Once inside, everything is handicapped accessible, including the patio and bathroom.

A truly beautiful wine.

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 ***

We arrived later than planned at the White Salmon location and hit the dinner rush, but were seated…read moreimmediately. We were grateful the patio was open -- it cut down on the indoor noise, and as non‑drinkers, we appreciated being away from the strong beer smell inside. Vegetarian options were plentiful and clearly labeled, which was a relief. We started with chips and all three salsas: red, mango, and queso. The queso had the only bit of zing, the red salsa tasted more like tomato sauce, and the mango salsa was delicious but very sweet. The chip‑to‑salsa ratio was excellent -- something many restaurants miss. The mains were slow to arrive, but understandable given the rush. The seasonal snap pea salad was beautifully presented and genuinely delicious, with a light lemon note and sweet pepperdew peppers. My husband ordered the pub cheeseburger with the vegetarian patty; he found it a bit spicy (he doesn't do heat at all), and I found it slightly dry, though I appreciated that it was a house‑made patty rather than the usual Beyond/Boca/Impossible option. I'm not one to linger after eating, so I always get impatient waiting for the check, but overall we would definitely eat here again. There were so many thoughtful vegetarian choices.

A nice refreshing beer was exactly what was needed after all the work rafting. For a starter we got the artichoke dip. This was some of the best dip I've ever had. I could have eaten this as my whole meal and ate too much that I wasn't super hungry when my burger came. I wasn't too upset about that though because the dip was a lot better than the burger. The bacon jam and onions on the burger were great, but the burger itself was slightly dry.

Spinning Wheels was a brewery long on my "to try" list for the Hood River area and I was super…read moreexcited to give them a try at long last. Upon arrival we saw a few different beers we wanted to try. Luckily quite a few of them were in cans which we took home but we had a beer there at the taproom also to absorb and relax at the taproom location. An adorable cat that more than likely lived there or put in a hard working shift of charming customers was present and we made over the kitty and pet it when it came to see us. Such a lovely cat! But onto the beer now! For the beer that we had at the taproom we had the Rice and Shine Japanese Lager. This was a pretty solid lager and one of my favorite types of lagers. I do love a lager that involves rice. Perhaps not the best ever that I have come across but still quite good. The flavor profile of this beer has a clean, crisp and refreshing aspects to it along with a biscuity flavor. The rest of the beers we had went home with us in cans. One beer was the River Pillow. This was a Pale Ale and had a nice, soft feel to it. The hop presence wasn't too overwhelming. We had another Pale Ale also. This one was called the Shredipede. This beer has a clean, crisp and citrusy presence to it. It is bright in hue and is nice and crushable which means you can have more than one with ease. Moving on from that was another kind of lager. This one was a Mexican Lager. The name of this one was the Pinche Chela. Mexican Lagers are another favorite lager of mine if not my #1 favorite for this beer type. This beer has a nice corn taste which provides a natural sweetness and the beer is nice and crisp. Again... perhaps not my most favorite version that I have had but enjoyable all the same. After that we went to darker beer territory and had a dry Irish Stout. I love these kinds of stouts because of that dryness aspect at work. Other flavor features in this are roastiness, oatmeal and the feel of it is smooth, creamy and soft. An excellent stout. This was a good stop and I am glad this brewery finally got tried out.

A fun vibe with local made beers. It's an unexpected find located right under a Mexican restaurant…read more They have a projector outside where they play major sports games, and a bar cat who is super friendly (loves chin scratches). There's also an arcade machine in the back that's free to play. They currently only have 4 bars on tap, but the service is fast and easy. Overall a great place for fun but lowkey vibes.

But the service is beyond slow. 20 minutes in another part our group asked if the food was ready and was told it would take 30 minutes. After the half hour long wait was up we inquired again and asked that the food be changed to go because we did not have the entree afternoon to wait. When we finally got the food it was not made to go. I asked for that again since we'd be waiting like 45 minutes to which the employee corrected me saying it had "only been 40 minutes"and the employee declined, gave us two cartons so that we could do that ourselves. With just a few minutes before our ride arrived we return to our table to eat. I soon learned why the food took so long. Well done doesn't describe the burger patties. Both we so over cooked and burnt the they were crunchy with the overwhelming taste of charcoal from being so burnt. The French fries that came with it were also awful. The taste was that of fries that were quite likely older than the order we placed. So the Ferment Brewing Company wins the trifecta. Slow service, Ruid employees, and awful food. I trust that the great community of Hood River has some good places to eat but regrettably FMC is absolutely not one of them.

The vegan and GF choices here were actually exciting. My friends ordered the vegan Khao Soi and the Kati noodle soups, and both were full, thoughtful dishes, not afterthoughts. It made dinner so much easier and way more enjoyable for our whole group. This isn't a traditional ramen shop, but my husband's black garlic chintan was every bit as satisfying as some of our favorite ramen spots back in the Bay. Rich, comforting, and absolutely worth ordering at $19 for a hearty bowl. (The others were slightly pricier at $24 a pop) That said, the star of the night was my spicy shrimp ramen. Easily. The broth reminded me of a laksa base with a deep, layered flavor heavy with aromatics and umami. The shrimp on top were excellent in their own right, perfectly seared, well-seasoned, and not just a garnish pretending to matter. I also want to give the ramen eggs a shout out. I can't believe how many places get this wrong. These beauties were perfectly marinated and served warm. It's one of my biggest pet peeves to have an ice cold ramen egg dropped into my hot soup and I appreciate the consideration given to addressing this common faux pas. Fast service, a beautiful outdoor patio with a great view, and food that genuinely impressed all of us. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

Their beer flights come with 6 pours each and it's served in a tall sail (or sharkfin?) shaped tower, each choice is labeled so you know what you're drinking. Their burger with bacon tomato jam was a 10/10! So much flavor and the bun was fresh and lightly buttered and toasted (this really takes it up a notch!). The meat was very tender and lots of flavor (tasted high quality). It's served with a heaping order of fries (or you can upcharge it for $2 and do salad, soup or sweet potato fries). Their chicken wings were tender and came off the bones easily while still having crispy edges. Perfection.
