Second year in a row we have dinner on our anniversary. The staff was fantastic and our server made our experience even more special. The food was cooked to perfection! We had the Alfredo with crab, steak with veggies, razor clam chowder, Caesar salad, and crispy brussel sprouts that were to die for!! The portions were perfect, and we were about to leave when Aaron brought this beautiful strawberry dessert which was so good we plan on going back.

Would give the food and atmosphere six stars if I could. Great food with a clear view of the river in a recently remodeled hotel. I make sure to come here every time I’m in Eugene. Service is a little inconsistent, especially when they’re busy (Ducks game night can bring a crowd to the bar), but a place like this is hard to beat. Would especially recommend their breakfast/brunch and a walk by the river on a clear morning.

Overall food was delicious , definitely a come back to try new things. The arrangement of the restaurant is perfect for a very comfy and romantic dinner.

The only reason why I am giving a low rating is because servers did not really check in with you; I even had to go and ask the manager for the check. Now, not sure if this is something that often happens or maybe because of 4th of July festivities they were either overcrowded of low in staff.

Special shout out to their Mangaer ~ Jason and server ~ Shelby! They went above and beyond making sure we get what we wanted with he food and our experience was enjoyable and memorable. Thank you once again, highly recommend this place!
Will be back soon in summer to enjoy the outside seating and beautiful sunset view!

What an absolute impeccable place to dine! We were visiting from the Midwest and decided to stop here her dinner, and so glad we did. The service was top-tier, drinks were amazing, food was so delicious, and the space itself felt so warm & luxe.

I really enjoyed the sage & stone— such a perfectly balanced drink. We also got the focaccia (amazing), a chicken sandwich and the butter lettuce salad. Everything was so good, we didn’t have any leftovers!

Overall, such a great experience here. If I’m ever back in Eugene I’d love to try more!

It got a bit loud in the dining room half way through my meal. They presented a new menu that night. Everything tasted good. I ordered a ribeye steak rare, it came out medium. I had the Ceasars salad, it was fresh and tasty, with the exception of the sardine garnish…

The ambiance is cozy and stylish. My favorite was the crab cakes. Service was attentive and friendly, though slightly slow during peak hours. Prices are reasonable for the quality. Will be back

Lovely atmosphere with excellent menus-both food and beverage! (I was too full to see dessert menu, but I’m certain it is excellent as well!) Service is outstanding. The food is superb. Can’t recommend enough! Side note-decor leading up to the restaurant is really thoughtful-someone did a great job using examples of what the PNW is all about to furnish and decorate/accesorize.
