    We went here for dinner after our return to Vancouver. It was an absolutely wonderful experience. We sat outdoors because the weather was perfect. The ambience is modern, sleek, and upscale. Our server, Daniel, was top notch and very accommodating to our every request. He was attentive without being overbearing. I started with the heirloom and mozzarella salad and it was excellent. The vegetables had robust flavor so you could actually taste what you were eating, It was a great choice. The wife had a "Main salad" which came with a crab cake, smoked salmon, and boiled shrimp as the proteins. I tried the smoked salmon and it was tender, not dry, with a mild smoke flavor. The rest of the salad were assorted vegetables that you find in a salad and everything was fresh. I had a pepperoni and mushroom pizza which was too much for one person. The crust was thin and crispy and the toppings were generous. It was a very good pizza. The kid had a burger with grilled vegetables. The meat was smoky and charred, good quality meat. For dessert, the wife and I split a piece of carrot cake and it was outstanding. It had great flavor and was very moist. One of the best I have ever tried. Overall, if we lived in Vancouver we would be regulars here. It was an outstanding experience from start to finish.

    Still amazing! The food and drinks are always perfect. Beautiful space and lovely staff.

    Fried chicken sandwich with house slaw

    Stopped in with a friend for a late lunch and a beer. Really enjoyed the food and the conversation. It was busy but quiet enough for us to hear each other. The inside bar and dining room are spacious and well lit but they also have a great outside seating area. Service was great. Our server was super nice. Attentive yet not intrusive.

    It's my second time here and my clients always know to take me back when I'm in town, and I'm grateful! Fantastic place, beautiful interior that works for business, or casual, and even for a romantic rendezvous! I had the ribeye last time and was quite happy. Two on our table did this time and were equally pleased. I went for the short rib and it didn't disappoint! Mine was on the fatty side--which I happen to like--so if the gelatinous, fatty layer on top of beef does not appeal to you, perhaps mention it to your server (though 2 others in our party had it and weren't as lucky as me with their beef fat content). The candied deviled eggs weren't bad, just nothing special. We had crab cakes too, and I definitely liked the slaw better than the cake. I wish I subbed my potato salad (nothing special) for it. Great wine selection and tons of interesting beer as well. Our server Samantha was a delight! She had the most lively way of describing the specials for the evening, that half of us were swayed to try it. Alas, she must have done such a good job they ended up running out by the time she took our orders. Overall fabulous place and I'll be sure to come back next time I'm in town!

    I've been here a handful of times and have always been impressed. The food, the environment, the service are all top notch. They have a full bar and I've yet to be disappointed in any cocktail I've ever ordered. The bartenders are very knowledgeable as well, if you're exploring new drink and ingredient options. The best time to come here is during happy hour - their happy hour share plates are a great value, and quite filling. I strongly recommend their meatballs!

    Vegan Mushroom Burger
    Liz S.

    We wanted something different and haven't eaten in Camas before, so we found The Hammond Kitchen and Craft Bar. We loved it and will definitely be back! I had the Vegan Mushroom Burger but switched out the vegan Gouda for Swiss cheese. It was delicious but I think I should have tried the vegan cheese just to be able to offer a more accurate review. I have never had this kind of "burger" before, so I can't compare it to anything, but I enjoyed the flavors. He had the Sirloin Dip and said it was spectacular. It was tender, had a little horseradish on it, and the flavors of the Rosemary Parmesan bread complemented it very nicely. Our sides were the fries (very tasty) and the bar slaw which was almost like a version of a Caesar slaw. I enjoyed it and would get it again. We made reservations, were seated right away, the staff was friendly and attentive. They made sure my switch of cheese was done correctly before they brought it to the table. The restaurant was moderately busy but not overly loud and the decor was warm and rustic casual. They have a lot of interesting and enticing items on the menu, so we will have to make it out here a few more times. Shout out to our terrific server, Megan H!

    The stuff they get right is delicious, but it can take a bit of misses to find them (as you can see in my last review). I ended up coming back since my husband and friend wanted to go to the range next door and I joined for dinner after. This time around we had better luck finding the right menu items. Their cocktails are very good and creative. Their deviled eggs are one of my favorites - especially because of their candied bacon. The steak brochettes is very good too. My friend raved about the burger! Service is always great and the view is beautiful especially if you're here on a clear evening and catch the sunset.

    I stopped in for lunch today and sat at the bar, Sherry took such great care of me! She was friendly, attentive (despite being busy) & gave amazing recommendations (everything she suggested was spot on). The vibe was relaxed but elevated, and you can tell the team really cares about their guests. If you're in Camas, The Hammond is a must , especially if you're lucky enough to have Sherry taking care of you!

    Thought I would give The Hammond Kitchen a try since we enjoyed our dining experience at The Cove in Vancouver. Evidently the two restaurants are related by ownership. Anyway The Hammond Kitchen did not disappoint. It's a modern, classy and reminiscent of the restaurants we frequented in Scottsdale, AZ. When we lived there. Our waitress was professional, punctual and made sure we were well taken care of. The food was delicious and even the side dishes were brimming with flavor. We had the mushroom focaccia bread for our appetizer which was absolutely delicious. I had the halibut plate and my wife the vegan mushroom burger plate. Both excellent in their own respect. For desert we shared the lemon ricotta cheesecake which was obviously freshly made and also absolutely delicious. I would certainly order it again. In summary The Hammond Kitchen is worth a revisit by us, and can see why this is such a popular eatery on Yelp.

    Good place to hang on the patio

    Good place to eat. Expensive tho for the portion size you get with your dinner. We got some crab cakes and deviled eggs with our dinner. Both were absolutely delicious. My steak and salmon special was good. My veggies were a bit cold tho. The mashed potatoes were good too. I really liked the garlic they added to the spuds. I ordered my steak medium and it came out more in the well side. But the pieces of steak is and the salmon are only 2 inches wide and like 3 inches long. So not very big. Just seems like for $42.00 you would get a little more portion size. Oh well, others liked their soups and salads. Great ambiance as well.

    Great atmosphere in tasteful furnishings , tasty food, good presentation of the food. Drink was great. On the higher price side. Maybe because it has high ceilings, it feels cold, industrial, not welcoming.

    Food does not disappoint! It's good each time we go! Great drinks and the staff is always so nice. We get the same gal usually, she's wonderful, I call her dragonfly, she know who she is! Ambiance is really nice, nice view at the bar! Great outdoor space in the summer. Will be back!

There's a lot of great pizza in the Vancouver area. It's nice for me to just walk to dinner. This is a casual place where you order at the counter and find your table. We went early, around 5:00 on a Friday. No problem getting a table then! The many offers a lot of pizza options, from gourmet to more traditional. I saw a couple of options that made the decision hard. I opted for the potato prosciutto and my daughter wanted a different flavor so she got the mushroom pizza (I can't remember what it's called). They have beer, wine and cider, in addition to non-alcoholic bevs. I was unfamiliar with the wine options and the person taking orders made a suggestion and let me taste it. That was nice! I had a nice Malbec for $14. I thought that was a bit pricey. The staff were all friendly. It definitely had a friendly neighborhood vibe, which counts with me. The pizza was good and had interesting flavors, both of them. The mushroom one was rich, as they usually are. I enjoyed the salty/sweet combo on the prosciutto potato. The crust was a bit disappointing IMO. Just plain and not very interesting. My favorites are wood-fired and Detroit, for reference. When I ate my leftovers at home, I added a drop of honey. That was good.
