We were invited to The Hammond by a friend this past summer. It was a solid invite. Drinks were great. The martini was lovely, the bartender was very friendly. We both opted for salads. They were lovely. The chef is obviously attentive to all the menu items and does a wonderful job of prep and presentation. Prices are fair, food is good, drinks are strong... what more can one ask for? We've not ever sat on the restaurant side but the bar was clean and comfortable. We look forward to visiting again. read more

Steak ordered medium-rare but served medium-well. Unfortunately, the server did not come to check on our party to see if the steak was cooked appropriately until well into the meal. Server was attentive otherwise. Cocktails were a miss -- Old Fashioned was poorly executed and over-diluted. The acoustics are very boom-y and echo-y, so you will need to raise your voice to have a conversation at your table if the dining room is remotely crowded. Also, the restaurant being tucked away in a strip mall is odd. However, everything does admittedly look nice. Overall, a very good example of dressed-up mediocre suburban -American cuisine. read more

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. read more

In from out of town and found this spot on Yelp with great reviews and it didn't disappoint. Samantha was the star of the show for us. She was kind, knowledgeable about food and drink menus and made us feel at home. Definitely sit in her section if you have the opportunity. The ambiance was beautiful, the drinks were fun and playful. If you like cocktails go for the one with carrot juice if your on the adventurous side. It doesn't disappoint. Food is thoughtful, cooked to perfection and beautifully plated. Samantha we will be back, thank you so much! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

She was friendly, attentive (despite being busy) & gave amazing recommendations (everything she suggested was spot on).

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. read more

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. read more

Consistently great service and delicious food! Menu varies every so often which is nice for added variety. Can honestly say we've never had a less than 5 star experience here, which is why we continue to come back. The place is impeccably clean as well. I will say this though, it's more like a plea! Please bring back the carrot cake, and peanut butter stout! Those were some of the best items on the menu. read more

Came by the Hammond for a work meal. We had a reservation and staff was able to accommodate additional folks to the table. Staff was friendly. Beer variety is good. They have a large whiskey selection as well. Food wise, we had a few appetizers to share. We enjoyed the deviled egg and brussels sprout. Foccacia bread was a huge highlight. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Main course, I ordered the ribeye. Steak was cooked medium rare and made well. Didn't have room for dessert. Awesome spot to host events or a party. Will be back! read more

Easy parking and great views. The food is a little expensive but most of the time very tasty. Trying the Hammond again. I do love the vibe of the restaurant but truthfully I've never eaten here in-person. I'm very hopeful. I ordered online the Crab & Shrimp Cannelloni and a Key Lime Ricotta Cheesecake. My first few bites of the cannelloni were full of rich flavors. I didn't initially taste the crab or shrimp. It was probably my third or fourth bite that the crab and shrimp flavors came through. Not all the cheese was fully melted but the over all dish was tasty. The key lime ricotta cheesecake was the star. It was yummy. Not too sweet, not too tart. The texture was quite smooth. After my last bite I wanted one more spoon full. A perfect way to end this meal. The Hammond is back on my keep It coming list. read more

Food overpriced. No check back to see how our dinner was. Nada, nyet, nothing until we had eaten all the sides, and then it was too late. Ribeye overcooked and quality lacking. $250 for 3 meals and one glass of wine. Will not return. read more

Took my sister-in-law out for dinner as a celebration for her retirement, the hubby and i had been there a couple of years ago for dinner and another time for lunch, both meals were quite tasty. This time was different, the hubs and and sister ordered short ribs with mashed potatoes and they both said food was good and portions were large. I ordered the cobb salad, expecting a decent amount of toppings and nice presentation considering the salad was 26$, what i got was a mound of lettuce, a couple of wafer thin slices of avocado, a poorly cut hard boiled egg, ten grape tomatoes, two shrimp that tasted and had the texture of shrimp from the shrimp ring you buy at supermarkets, an okay crab cake, and what i can only describe as a piece of salmon possibly poached in liquid smoke(my salad smelled like a bon fire). When asked i said the salmon was inedible, not just over smoky but dry as dirt also, i was told" i could bring you a different kind of salmon, but then i would have to charge you for it". I told my dining companions" why would i want to pay for another piece of salmon they would also destroy?" I was starving so ate what i could, 3/4 of my salad was left, they did give us a discount on my salad, but still 13$ for a couple of cold shrimp and a small crab cake is ridiculous. The restaurant itself is lovely and we found it pretty quiet where we sat, there are glass partitions left from covid and that cut the noise significantly. We won't be going back, go to amaros table instead, better quality, better price and better customer service. read more

This was the first time visiting this restaurant with my husband for a celebration. We read enough reviews that we needed to make a reservation. When we were there, it was very empty. This is a large restaurant and I think reservation may not be needed on weekdays. We started out with the crab cake starter. It took a long time for the starter to arrive. When it came, I was surprised to see how tiny the crab cake was. However, it was full of shredded crab and no filler. Flavor was excellent. I think it was my favorite dish there. It came with 2 small crab cakes and creamy coleslaw with red cabbage. The coleslaw was very good as well. My husband had the ribeye and I had the crab and shrimp cannelloni. Ribeye came with grilled asparagus and my husband upgraded the garlic mashed potato to Mac & cheese for an additonal $3. The medium ribeye was prepared closer to medium well. The ribeye was just okayed. I had it better at other steakhouse. The asparagus had a great smokey grilling flavor. The mac & cheese was super tasty and cheesy. I enjoyed the mac & cheese so much that I couldn't help taking bites from my husband's plate. My cannelloni was good but it was too strong on the tomato sauce. I wish they put more crab and shrimps in this dish. I was disappointed to find so little crab after eating their tasty crab cake. I couldn't find any shrimp at all. All in all, the service was good. The food overall has good flavor. The portion size is on the small size. Beware that they don't offer any condiment on the table. Considering the price of the dishes I would give this restaurant a 3.5 stars. read more

3 stars because of hits & misses. This is an upper crust establishment as reflected by the prices (see menu pix). For 2 entrees plus one appetizer (+ tax & gratuity), our bill was about $120. For that amount, everything should shine, but it didn't. The crabcake appetizer ($23) was chock-full of real crab but each cake was smallish, probably 2-inch Dia. & an inch tall. The shrimp/crab cannellon ($29), while tasty was drowned in the marinara sauce, so much so that any seafood flavors were obscured. The ribeye steak ($45) was about 10-12 oz. and on the thin side, such that ordering it cooked "medium" was the wrong choice (dry-ish and not tender). Substituting mac n' cheese (for mashed potatoes- $3 surcharge) was a good idea given that this side was ooey-gooey. The grilled asparagus had exceptional grilled flavor (5 stars for these 2 sides). The waiter was friendly and attentive, the hostess was cold and nonchalant. Ambiance was modern rustic, nice but somewhat sterile, more business than romance. If not for the somewhat inflated prices, The Hammond should rate 4 stars based on flavor & ambiance, but at this price point one expects excellence throughout, which was not our experience. read more

We made a reservation for Friday night which helped as we were sat right after we arrived. I really liked the decor and design of this place. Dark but with big windows and lots of beautiful wood features. The downside of where our table ended up being was the windows. Why are windows bad, you ask? Because these windows on the far side of the bar look right into the trash and recycling area for the whole building. This area is perfectly hidden to the public eye from the outside of the building (i.e. the parking lot). But for any patrons in this part of the restaurant, you get to look out on trash bins, trash and flies. I feel that this ugliness could be easily remedied with that window film that obscures or blurs whatever is on the other side, they wouldn't even need to cover the whole window. Anyway, it wasn't too busy yet so I felt our service was good. We ordered the regular deviled eggs to start and received them so fast, it seemed that they just have these orders ready to go. They were very good but for a party of 4, having 5 eggs in the appetizer was kind of awkward. As we ordered our main plates, we asked the wait person if the cheesesteak was good and her reply was that "it has been selling well". She said similarly about a couple other items as well, which to me meant that she hadn't actually tried them herself or didn't actually know if they were good or not. It's all about the phrasing I suppose. Anyway, I ordered the fried chicken sandwich, two people at our table got the fish and chips and one person ordered the seafood pasta. Our overall wait time wasn't too long so that was nice, the pasta coming to the table last. My sandwich looked really good but was just way too messy. Most fried chicken sandwiches are, don't get me wrong, but not to this extent. It was difficult to eat. And given that this restaurant seemed somewhat nice, it was a bit annoying to be covered in juice from the slaw and my meal falling apart in my hands. The bun was also kind of interesting, maybe an over toasted & buttered roll? The parm fries were ok, not as parm-flavored as they looked. Overall the flavors were good, but execution was lacking. The review for the fish and chips was positive though. Half of our table had been here previously and said their seafood options were all good. read more

We had a bbq sandwich with parm fries and a Cobb salad. Both were phenomenal! We wanted espresso martinis but I'm lactose intolerant so our server came back with carajillos and they were fantastic. The tequila lemon drop was also amazing. Our servers name was Cheri and she was fantastic. She's funny, kind, and clearly loves her job! Service was a 10/10. Will return read more

Delicious and beautiful food. Both times I've been, I've had the steak salad and both times it was a little different. The first time, there was a slice of blue cheese on top. I liked that better than the crumbles I got the second time. The second time, though, they put wood-fired grilled asparagus on top and it was the BEST asparagus I've ever had in my life. I want just a plate of that next time!!! This second time our server (Samantha?) was lovely and attentive. read more

I came to the Hammond tonight to meet a friend for happy hour in the bar. Their bar is really nice. Modern with comfortable seating. The lighting is really good. Good .It's busy and luckily, my friend already secured us a spot at the bar. The bartender was excellent. Really make it top-notch drinks there. The happy hour menu has a lot of choices. I thought it was really nice. Reasonably priced for the quality and portion. A lot of choices for a happy hour menu, which is a bonus. We had a lot of stuff!! Pepperoni and mushroom pizza. Very nice. The mushrooms were really yummy. Crust tasty as well. Braised brussels sprouts with pork belly and squash. Love my brussels sprouts, and these were delicious. They were on the small side and the squash was a delight. .I loved it. The pork belly was nice, but you couldn't really taste it. Mac & cheese, super creamy. very well prepared. Everything was a nice portion. The Caesar salad was nicely chopped. The dressing was good, however, very overpowering. Too much. The croutons were very hard and to me a hard pass. Inedible. I love salad, but this was my least favorite of what we enjoyed. I had a featured cocktail. A special martini drink that was super delicious. It had pear and a pretty flower floating in it. Chardonnay was very nice on the happy hour menu. The service was Five Star. Very attentive. This place is upscale, and you feel like you are somewhere special, because you are! I totally recommend it. read more

Had a special birthday lunch at The Hammond today. Our server, Shari, was friendly and helpful, giving us great suggestions. My companion and I both ordered burgers and split them. I ordered the Double Stack burger and my companion ordered the special of the day, The Cowboy burger. Both were juicy and delicious! The Cowboy Burger was my favorite, because I loved the crispy onions and bbq sauce, but both were delicious. The rosemary fries are ok, but not as crispy as I prefer. Because this was a birthday lunch we split the chocolate mousse cake. Devine! Light but chocolate-y and the espresso drizzle complemented it nicely. I've been to The Hammond several times and it never disappoints! read more

Really bummed about my recent dinner at Hammond which is normally one of my favorite spots. The prices have gotten out of control. $22 for a pizza + $5 to add arugula to the pizza only to get 1-2 pieces per slice. $17 drink was just ok. Not sure it was worth $50/person. Service was excellent as always though read more
