Stonehenge Gardens was a favorite spot of ours when we lived in Hood River, but we have not made it back for a few years. Until today. The food is every bit as delicious as it was before. The meal started with complimentary focaccia bread with a thick vinaigrette, and then we had Buffalo Shrimp with bleu cheese. Both were excellent. They did the Buffalo sauce up proud. It was tangy, a little herbal, and not too spicy. Mind you, I like flaming hot food, but in this case it would have overwhelmed the flavor. We split an entree: The Blackened Scampi Sirloin. The steak was almost unbelievably tender for sirloin. The shrimp was divine, and covered in a light cream sauce. I couldn't have eaten it all but myself. read more

My husband & I had a wonderful meal !! Sitting under the trees on the patio on a warm summers night. Crab cakes& garlic mushrooms for appetizers. Followed by a lovely salad and seafood pasta dish . Unfortunately- we planned to have the bread pudding dessert ... but we devoured the complimentary focaccia bread when we sat down with a cold beer . Next time we will have a better strategy. We a very nice evening read more

Writing a second review nearly 1 year after the fact because the 'business manager' Mike C. Just left a sparky response to my first review saying that his actions were to protect his staff.... Listen Mike, you suck. Your staff had us under a large tree DURING A THUNDERSTORM which is equally as dangerous to everyone involved. You dont care about your staff, and you dont care about your customers. The fact of the matter is that you have a large outdoor area with zero protection from the elements in OREGON. you are a joke. Your business is a joke. Your staff is a joke. And your food is mid level Dennys at best, priced to be fancy because your existence is a joke. Keep being a joke and ill keep roasting your sad excuse for 'management'. read more

I don't leave many reviews, but I read almost all reviews before I go to a restaurant. Stonehedge Gardens reviews were confusing. It seems to be 1 or 5. There is no way this beautiful establishment could be a 1. The setting and ambiance alone are beautiful and worthy of a 5. Some of the 1s were due to the rain. Pretty sure that cannot be controlled in OR or anywhere. The staff were all welcoming and smiling. Added bonus they were staffed sufficiently inside and outside. No waiting for anything. Again no way would Stonehedge deserve a 1 star rating. The food was a buffet so my expectation level was set accordingly. Boy was I wrong, it was all delicious. The salad was bright, fresh and delicious. The bread was freshly made. The mashed potatoes were creamy and flavorful. The entries served was a lovely salmon cooked to perfection and a flank steak that was tender and seasoned very well. The dessert was a mixed Berry compote with whipping cream. It was warm and gooey and not too sweet. The drink menu was quite adequate and had non alcoholic options as well. Our experience was capped off by the best musicians in the Gorge playing a 2 hour plus show. Moe Dixon is a treasure. Lastly the value of the overall experience was great. The buffet was $40 and well worth it with the drinks being priced well. This is an absolute gem of a place. I can't believe it took us 10 years to come experience this. We made our reservations for next week before we left. You should too. From my husband: The outdoor dining area and music venue is serene, and beautifully incorporated among tall trees and gorgeous plants and hedges. The staff is cheerful and welcoming (and they can dance!) The music show dinner buffet was well put together and delicious. Add Gorge-treasure Moe Dixon and fiddle player Matt McCravey for a two hour live show and it's a recipe for a fabulous night out. We will be making the drive from Trout Lake, WA every Wednesday in July! Thank you Stonehedge! read more

Hidden gem, up a dirt road on a bluff overlooking Hood River. Wedding venue and restaurant. Victorian private residence turned into a restaurant in the 1970s, still family run. I found the setting beautiful, the food excellent and the price reasonable. read more

Stonehedge Gardens - If the weather is gloomy it is cozy inside, we were on the patio on the first weekend that it was warm enough in April. - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Hood River, Oregon

Delicious food, stellar service, garden setting - what's not to love? Thanks to the Yelpers for pointing me here! Celebrating a friend's special birthday - you know, the ones that end in a 5 or 0 - and I wanted it to be a memorable evening. Even though it happened to be a triple digit night, we had a wonderful time. The seating in the garden is so peaceful surrounded by lush tress and twinkling lights. magical. There is seating inside also and when dining there it feels like you are having dinner in someone's home, although a home from many decades ago. The history, the woodwork, fixtures and China is all from a bygone era. We started with cocktails, which were fab! And since we had already had happy hour over a charcuterie board at my house prior, we opted to just order entrees. My scampi was delicious! Perfectly cooked shrimp in a buttery garlic sauce over grains with fresh veggies. I had enough for lunch the next day. Service was too notch. Very attentive and unobtrusive. They have three seating times and when you call for a reservation, they give you a specific time during that period for you to arrive. This keeps a long line from forming and helps them get people to the socially distanced tables quickly and safely. Will be back for sure! read more

Stonehedge Gardens - Scampi. Delicious. - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Hood River, Oregon

The food was good overall. Salad was delicious, husband enjoyed good vegan dish and my pasta was filled with perfectly cooked salmon, white fish, and shrimp. We were stuffed but still wanted dessert so took the salted caramel cheesecake home. Would definitely recommend this spot for a nice meal. Drinks were great too! read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We had the goat cheese, caesar with seafood medley and the bacon chicken mushroom pasta. We had no room for dessert. The service was exceptional and the martinis were perfect. Such a lovely place. They tout that's is for romance but the three senior ladies in our party would say "charming"! read more

What a romantic and charming venue! I love the ambiance and outdoor dining experience..always great service, food & wine.

Delightful ambiance with charming twinkle lights for dining outdoors. Been here many times and highly recommend. Even during Covid, they took extra care for their customers. Cocktails are tasty, by the glass wine selection is spot on and that focaccia!! OMG, I could make the bread alone a meal. This place is in my top 3 favorite restaurants in Hood River. Check it out and don't forget to order the bread pudding - it's amazingly delish! read more

3 stars for the food, 5 for the service and romantic atmosphere. Perfect foe our anniversary! Flamed bread pudding so good!! Plenty of boozy syrupy sauce. They don't have ice cream though. Next time we will bring our own!! Dinner special of locally foraged mushrooms with spinach and creamy sauce very good. Duck with veggies not so great. Green beans tasteless (how in August?!!). Duck not great and the raspberry sauce was way too sweet. Both apps just ok (Ahi tuna and goat cheese). Veggies on both apps were subpar. Shawna Colada cocktail too sweet. House red blend good. Not the best menu for gluten sensitivities and vegetarian. Lots of staff working their tails off! read more

This was my first meal in Hood River and Stonehedge seemed - based on Yelp - to be the best fine dining experience in the city. With two preteen boys it seemed a little risky, particularly after calling ahead to see if they could make roasted potatoes or fries as a side for filet mignon (which both boys love) and were told no. Nevertheless we kept the reservation and I am aiming for fairness in describing the experience, as always. The restaurant is not easy to find. If you've not been before and are following gps directions it may seem to be in an industrial supply building just off I-84 but keep going to a dirt road turn-off into the woods. The setting is pretty, secluded, and mostly eliminates the road noise from the trucks on the highway. There are good Covid procedures in place, though they could improve by adding written instructions to customers at the entry. The menus are diner style, cheap laminate and clearly convey that the menu doesn't change often, if ever. There are no dishes for children, though they have spaghetti and meatballs as a standard entree and will make noodles with butter and olive oil. The wine list is pretty short but the selections are theoretically good and prices are reasonable. I say theoretically because I asked about their most expensive wine, a Silver Oak, and the waitress returned after a very long absence to tell me that it wasn't available because it "hadn't come in on the truck shipment." I have never heard that reason and can't imagine she (or anyone on staff last night) knew what they were talking about so just made something up. I'd asked what vintage the wine was because there are none printed on the menu. For a fine dining restaurant, the wine list, lack of inventory, and lack of knowledge are definitely minus one star. Without a decent red wine by the glass I ordered shrimp scampi for dinner, and a glass of their "house special" white wine, which I was told was "a white blend." This, after asking about all the other whites to try finding a crisp, steely wine and avoid something buttery and flabby. No sample offered and an obvious mistake on my part not to ask. Turns out their most expensive white wine by the glass is pretty bad, managing to combine a nearly perfect set of poor traits: sour but with weak acidity, no discernible fruit, and jug wine aroma. The shrimp scampi was entirely pedestrian, and the brussel sprouts hiding in the gloopy mess of sauce were nearly raw and hard. I would have considered the dish meh or slightly better at an Outback. My wife's seafood fettuccine was similar, and Outback sized. My younger son's filet mignon was cooked nearly perfectly medium rare and he loved it, and was very happy with the garlic smashed potatoes instead of roasted potatoes, so his dish was a real winner. The bread served to the table is, I believe, described as a house-made focaccia, but I certainly never encountered anything like it in Italy. Again, very suitable for an Outback, it is incredibly rich with garlic-butter and much more spongy than focaccia. Served with a blended oil/balsamic dip, it wasn't bad, but was once again suited for an Olive Garden or Outback. The boys wanted creme brûlée for dessert and shared one, which was size appropriate. My wife and I both got to try bites - it is large - and it tasted to me like a Jello pudding base. The boys liked it. The staff may be family - there was a decent resemblance- and a couple of them seemed like teenagers and not trained in fine dining expectations. Though nice, service was slow and inattentive. Overall this was a huge disappointment and I am confident I will never be back. read more

What a wonderful evening we had at Stonehedge Gardens. We has a party of 12. They offered us a limited menu with 5 entrees. Each came with the house salad and desert. They also brought out 4 anti-pasta plates for the table. Service was great. The food was outstanding. I would say the 7 of us had the filet, it was by far the best filet I had ever eaten. Looking forward to returning soon. read more

Great food, great ambiance, and good service. Enough said. I can't complain except I wish I lived in hood river or else I would come here for my solo date night every week. read more

It's taken me a minute to write because I was so annoyed with this place. We made a reservation, showed up on time and were taken to our table outside. I do have to give credit where deserved, this place is gorgeous! We sat for right about 30 minutes before we were finally greeted. We both come from the service industry so we are tried to be very patient. A woman from another table came over and asked if we had been greeted yet and immediately went inside. Drink order to table time was 25 minutes! Yes, almost an hour from arrival to drinks delivered. NOW, we are looking at the wine list to get a bottle to go with our entrees. There were a couple bottle we were unfamiliar with so my girlfriend but the list down with a drink on the corner to hold it down while searching the names. As we're doing this the owner walks over, grabs the wine list without making eye contact with either of us and says, "I need this". SO SO RUDE! After a moment of shock I got up, walked over to the other table and said, "I'll take this back since that was very rude and we're still looking at it". I asked the host who the man was and he informed me he was the owner. Still shocked! He did a typical table check to every single table, EXCEPT OURS! We were dressed for the venue, we were sitting across the table from each other (meaning there was no PDA), we were at the table in the middle of the "garden" so it's not like he missed a hidden table in the corner. It's hard to think he wasn't judging us for being a queer couple. As LGBTQIA+ friendly as Hood River is, we were shocked! The food was good, nothing fancy or exciting. For the price of what you get and having to wait over an hour and 15 minutes for dinner, go somewhere else...if avoiding the disrespect isn't enough. If ownership changed I would go back for the ambiance. They were not staffed appropriately, not the staff's fault, I get it. read more

We stopped here based on Yelp review for our 28th wedding anniversary. This was my first time that the star ratings did not match the experience that the Yelp star reviews were graded for this restaurant. Lets start with the venue. Its a lovely setting some what a romantic ambiance so the start did meet expectations. Although it wasn't to packed being waited on once seated was a bit slow. We started with crab patties and a seafood Caesar salad. The Seafood salad was great although we waited on the crab patties and waiter came back and said someone grabbed our patties and they had to make new ones. We then waited another 20 min to get this appetizer but once we bit into it I forgot about how long it took to get it. The taste was wonderful. Now to the main course. Our waiter gave us the specials at the beginning and it sounded good. It was a lobster and scallop pasta dish which I couldn't pass on but first we ordered the appetizer and salad. He said he will return to take our order for entrees. Here is the problem. Once we were served and finished our starters he didnt come back to our table for 30 minutes. When he did he asked "are you ready for dessert" and I told him we haven't even ordered our dinner and was waiting on him thinking he was really busy. I then proceed to place the special and he says oh I'm sorry but the special just ran out. If he would have came back like he said this would have never happened. He did apologize though. Normally I would have just moved on to a plan B dish but to be honest, the menue selection did not have any other pasta seafood dish that I wanted so I quickly chose the shrimp scampi and when this was delivered it was large prawns with rice. I was a bit confused since it didn't state it was accompanied with rice and most restaurants under entrees the scampi is a pasta dish. He also didn't ask what starch I preffered with shrimp. I guess I should have read it closer but if you look at the menue it could be a little confusing. At this point he offered to have them toss pasta in with the shrimp. When it arrived I took a bite and just was dissapointed and didn't want to ruin the night by pouting. At the end he did offer a free bread pudding dish for the trouble. Our waiter seemed really nice so I didn't want want to make a big stink. The bottomline I gave 20% tip and the total was $166 for my 28th wedding anniversary. I'm sure others have had better experience but I won't be returning here. Price definitely did not match what was being offered. read more

Crab cakes were dense and dry and the peanut sauce was hard to find. The bowl of pasta was large, but not enough sauce to begin to coat the pasta. It appeared as though the meatballs never saw the sauce until it was put on top of them. Salad greens were limp and overdressed. When asked about the GF option for an appetizer the server said she'd have to see if the GF crackers were stale or not! Service was good, but the overall appearance of the outside patio area was pretty neglected....dead plants and weeds lined the walkway. Too bad, really....it could be so much more. read more

Went to dinner tonight here finally. Been wanting to go since we moved to the gorge 21 years ago. So wish we would have tried it sooner. The setting is a huge house/restaurant with large patio dining as well as indoors. We sat in the garden as the weather was beautiful. The staff is very attentive and the friendly. The best part is the food. Beautifully presented and delicious. We started with wonderful crab cakes, split a salad and both had the shrimp entree. Shrimp were perfectly cooked and the creamy garlic sauce made them melt in your mouth. The entree was accompanied by grilled fresh vegetables and garlic mashed potatoes or the best ever rice pilaf. We devoured every bite. For desert we had the flaming caramel bread pudding with cinnamon sparks. It was to die for. We will definitely be going back and taking our friends and family too. This is quite possibly the best food in the gorge!!! read more

Will say it's a gorgeous place. Was immediately seated and drinks ordered. However the waitress never came back to ask for Refills of cocktails she went literally all around us asked every table if they needed something but did not ask us in fact 30 minutes later my husband had to go inside and ask for drinks. ! Never had eye contact nothing ! Really Disappointed especially When you spend a few hundred dollars . To be ignored is not acceptable! Great read more

Easily the best restaurant in Hood River or White Salmon and probably the best place in the Gorge. Beautiful wooded setting, dining in a large historic home, attentive service, and amazing food. We've been here 3 times now, mostly for special occasions, and haven't been disappointed. read more

This place is perfecto. Spent the night in Hood River to celebrate our 25th anniversary. This was the closest "nice" (with outdoor seating) restaurant to the hotel we were staying at. Lucky for us. The ambiance, the food, the service, EVERYTHING was AWESOME. Just can't say enough. If I could give 6 stars, I would. Really, this is an amazing restaurant and venue (they host weddings, and I bet they rock at it... such a beautiful setting). We will definitely be back whenever we are in Hood River during the summer. read more

The food was delicious. We all had fillet tenderloin with pasta with a tomato sauce, which was delicious as well as the lobster ravioli and I had the shrimp scampi. The shrimp scampi was delicious although it was not your typical shrimp scampi. The shrimp is not grilled and it was cooked in a garlic cream sauce. The flavor was delicious. The shrimp is cooked perfectly but they served it with a rice that had a lot of the Middle Eastern flavors like curry, turmeric, etc. That competed with the shrimp, too sting of a flavor. So I did not eat the rice. I would grill the shrimp the next time. Or I would call the shrimp dish, another name, not shrimp scampi. The bread pudding was absolutely out of this world. We all loved it. read more

Fresh, well-prepared Italian food served attentively and warmly in a unique, beautiful setting. We had salads, spaghetti and meatballs, pork scallopinI, and dessert. The basics of focaccia and sauces were excellent and the entrées tasted of premium ingredients. Those of us who live for Marinara will appreciate the spaghetti and meatballs. The sauce is not full of sugar, but tastes of Roma tomatoes and fresh basil and oregano. The generous portions were attractively plated. We were not celebrating anything, but we were treated as if we were. Thanks to Andrew and to the chef. read more

My boyfriend and I ventured into this historic and lovely building on a dark, winter Saturday night, hoping to eat dinner without a reservation. They graciously accepted us right before their opening, and we gratefully sat near the warm and inviting fireplace. We stayed for awhile and ended up having the whole dining room to ourselves! Three other parties came and sat in the windowed porch dining room, and we were surprised at the lack of diners for a weekend night. Maybe it was pandemic jitters that kept the patrons away? We ended up having a wonderful time with the friendly and knowledgeable local server, and the food was fantastic! We ate a beautiful plate of warm goat cheese with endive, balsamic, baguette, and roasted garlic, two juicy and generous crab cakes, a perfect pork chop with gnocchi, and a crab stuffed chicken breast with fresh vegetables. What a nice find, and I hope others will keep them in business as we were just there for the day and passing through. It's a little off the beaten path in Hood River, but make the trek and spend the money as you'll really appreciate it. read more

If you're planning on checking this place out for the happy hour, don't. I wanted to write this review because the experience was just overall uncomfortable, unnecessarily so, and it's still bothering me. My husband and I just moved into town and wanted to stop by for a quick drink and some apps during the happy hour before we went into town. Well, the happy hour is a joke. 1) It's only one hour long from 5-6, 2) the drink options were nonexistent, 3)Cherry on top, it seems as if the servers (ours at least) seemed very annoyed that my husband even ASKED about the margaritas on the happy hour menu, for example. "They are $5 margaritas. What do you expect? It's just vodka and lime." This is literally the answer we got. When I asked about the "Special Wines" on the the reply this time was "Oh it's either a red blend or a white blend." "Man, you're not selling it, are you?" my husband asked and he just sort of shrugged. We felt really uncomfortable because we both instantly felt that he was visibly bothered by the fact that we weren't planning on ordering from the regular menu and consequently spending more $$$. Why offer a service you clearly don't want to sell? And why treat customers that are there for the first time, to try a service that is advertised, so poorly? And it was my birthday, mind you. As for the happy hour menu's food menu we tried, the focaccia was delicious and so was the seared tuna. However, the crab cakes had way more bread than crab. Highlight was the flaming bread pudding (from the regular menu). read more

Went to this place for a date night, and it did not disappoint. The restaurant is an older house with beautiful patios and cozy nooks. It was a very quiet night around Christmas, with a nice little fire burning, dim lighting, and lots of homey decorations. The bottles of wine are from local wineries and super reasonably priced. We ordered the goat cheese appetizer which was plentiful and good, I just wish they used arugula or mixed greens instead of iceberg. The salads came with a beautiful pecan vinaigrette. My partner ordered the Filet Mignon Au Poivre, it was well seasoned, although a little overcooked from what he ordered. My ciopinno was absolutely to die for. The fish was perfectly cooked and the focaccia was homemade and amazing. The service was great. Our experience here was just what we were looking for on our no Igor our. Will definitely be back! read more

Wonderful setting, great staff & incredible food. Never disappoints! Highly recommend!

We weren't sure what to think when we were trying to park. They had an entire parking area marked off and a over-flowingly full parking lot where we had to make shift a space to put our car. We found it was because they had what looked to be a wedding event taking place. We walked thru the home (bistro) and to the host, whom graciously sat us. Our server was adoring and pleasant. As she walked off after taking our order, my husband noted she looked related to the host. We decided to be seated outside as it was a perfectly gorgeous summer eve. There is no shortage of things to take in as far as decorations and foliage. Lots of happy, lovely guests too. We asked the waitress if she was related to the host and she replied with yes this is my parents place, my brother and I work here and our Mom is your chef, whom we got to meet too. Dad was who would have made our drinks but the waitress filled his boots this evening and did a fantastic job on our refreshing lemon drop martinis! We had appetizer and the dinner specials. Everything was superb. I decided to read up on the history and was happy to learn the owner was once the cellar master at Cathedral Vineyards, where we visited earlier that day. Here is a link to the history here. http://www.stonehedgeweddings.com/about-us/history/ Be sure to drop in and show some support when in the area.

Great food and ambiance. Make sure to make a reservation and be very specific about any special request you have. Sofia is the best for a Server and I strongly recommend you ask for her.

I saw so many people raving about this restaurant and I wanted to love it. When we pulled up it was super cute and I began to get my hopes up... this restaurant is a super cute idea. I loved the outdoor seating area, but since it is November, we were seated inside. This is to be expected. The food wasn't horrible, but nothing to write home about. I loved the house made bread and my boyfriends caesar salad was super tasty as well. Other than that, our entrees weren't super great and the price tag is definitely high... sadly I won't be returning:( read more
