    Pierogi with bacon
    Stephanie S.

    We recently visited The Mesquitery and SHED in Hood River and had an amazing experience! Since they were quite busy, we opted to sit in the cozy bar area, which turned out to be a great choice. The music was fun and the bartenders were great and the life of the party! The dining room is on the smaller side So the bar in a booth was the perfect spot. We started with the pierogis, and they were delicious! For the main course, I had the smoked prime rib, cooked perfectly medium rare, just the way I like it. My husband ordered the special of the night: Italian Asiago stuffed gnocchi with portabella mushrooms and bacon in a garlic cream sauce. It was absolutely incredible! Every bite was bursting with flavor. We can't wait to come back the next time we're in Hood River! Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food and a welcoming atmosphere.

    NY strip - huge!

    Dinner for 5 the other night. Summary: wonderful, worth it. "Rustic" interior, but the food is good. Menu is eclectic, with some interesting Polish selections which unfortunately we did not try. Do try their dry-aged steaks if they have them available (ask). The NY strip was absolutely huge, never seen on that big. I made the mistake of ordering a salad and did not ask for it to be served with my entree, so I had a lone steak to eat when they came out, and you really need something to take a break from gnawing on meat. My daughter enjoyed her dry aged ribeye so much that she wanted to go back the next weekend! My wife had the steak salad, and it came with a very generous portion of meat (see photo). Definitely a great choice for carnivores!

    Fettuccine Alfredo w/Pesto & Shrimp, amazing!
    Brenda R.

    The food was delicious & packed w/flavor. Fettuccine Alfredo w/Pesto was to die for!Great customer service and they even have a Pool table in the back. I would definitely recommend!

    Open flame grill when you enter.

    It was a busy place last Saturday night with a 20-minute wait in the bar. Had the ribeye with sauted mushrooms and a salad with blue cheese. Good quality meat cooked right on an open flame grill. Local beer on tap. Our server was great. Locals in the bar area mentioned the crowd slims down in the next few weeks after the vacationers return home. Fun place.

    Beef Cheeks, garlic bread, salad and chowder.
    Bill R.

    Wanted a nice dinner on our first night in Hood River. Found the Mesquitery on Yelp and decided to give it a try. We were NOT disappointed. Their web site address is a bit pretentious, but the food was excellent. We had the Beef Cheeks (split with 3 sides). We shared the garlic bread, my wife had chowder and I had a salad. All we're very very good. The Beef Cheeks were tender, flavorful and did not need a knife to cut. They basically fell into pieces when you touched them with the fork. The Cabernet was also very good with good legs.

    We traveled to Hood River today. We had a yearning for steak, and saw this place had good reviews. We got there a bit after 5, plenty of seating was available. The staff were friendly, and prompt. I ordered the 20oz Porterhouse, my wife got the 14oz Prime Rib. OMG, they were delicious!! My wife never eats a whole steak, but she ate the whole thing. They were cooked to perfection! There is a glass separation, so you can watch the cooking process. We (I) followed it with the caramel pecan cheesecake. Yummy! This place is a hidden gem! We would definitely eat here again!

    Jalapeño cheese pull apart bread - yum!
    Amy D.

    We sat in the bar area because they were busy but I think the dining room wolf have been nicer. The cheese bread was good and husband enjoyed his pierogis. My steak was cooked medium rare, just like I wanted. Wished the vegetables had more variety and I didn't enjoy the rice pilaf, but the Alfredo pesto pasta was so good!

    I ate at this restaurant twice while staying at the hotel in March and April, once for dinner and…read moreonce for breakfast. Both meals were great. Service was prompt, and the restaurant atmosphere is very pleasant. It's kind of funny because you'll have people in suits having a business meeting over dinner, and other regular hotel guests just dining casually in t-shirts and jeans. On both occasions, I was dining with another family member. When we were there for dinner, we were having a really hard time deciding what to order, and our server let us know that there was a 2-for deal going on for some of the pastas. Each of us had been considering a pasta, so that solved that problem! Both were delicious, and we had leftovers to take home. When we were there for breakfast, I was feeling adventurous and ordered the lox and bagel, which I've only had a very basic version of one other time. It was soooo good, and very filling. Several other options on the breakfast menu also sounded really good, but I'm glad I went with this for the experience. I'd definitely eat here again if/when I stay in the hotel again. Since there's no free breakfast offered by the hotel, they give you vouchers for the restaurant, so you can get a pretty good deal on a meal.

    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.

They have plenty of outdoor seating for your little pups, though the water dish they left out was unattended to. As far as food, they had a whole plant-based menu to meet my vegan needs. More important, they were able to make a gluten-free sandwich for my partner with celiac. They took precautions to minimize cross-contact with gluten items, including wrapping the sandwich up separately and bringing it out to us first before bringing out our gluten containing items. The three in our group had mixed reviews on the food quality. I enjoyed my reuben very much. My partner and his mom thought their food was okay, and their portions were too small for the price. As far as the actual store goes, they carry a lot of what your typical natural foods store or food co-op would carry, though the prices seem more along the lines of what a Whole Foods would charge. For example, $3.50 for a single avocado. Considering that they are a small business in a somewhat touristy town, I guess that is a sound business decision. All in all, a good experience, just expect to pay a little more if you are going to shop or eat there!
