We recently used Busy Bee for an anniversary/slash birthday party for about 80 guests. I cannot…read morespeak highly enough of Dani, who was prompt in response, very friendly, and professional. I really had no idea exactly what I wanted, but after our first call and her suggestions I was very excited about the offerings and kept all Dani's excellent suggestions. Pricing was absolutely reasonable. They arrived on the day of the event promptly, set up everything beautifully on the serving space and were nothing but gracious and courteous the whole time. The guests LOVED the food. Especially the marinated chicken thighs and the potato salad. I even received comments from guests the veggie tray was one of the most beautiful they had ever seen. All the other dishes were delicious as well and there was more than enough to send leftovers home with everyone who wanted some. Busy Bee elevated my event into something even more special by providing such amazing food. I never worried once about any part of catering, as they were the easiest to work with all around. I would absolutely use them again and likely will!

Busy Bee Catering swooped in and saved the day with their "Sides-Giving" offerings fit for royalty! Their fluffy mashed potatoes and gravy were divine. Their chicken apple sausage stuffing was a show stopper, as was the relish tray (as big as a trough for my goats), roasted vegetables and Fall harvest salad topped with sinfully delicious candied pecans. I feel like getting married again so Busy Bee Catering can handle the food. Thank you so much! You'll be seeing me and my hungry tummy again SOON!

The food was truly an epic part of our wedding because of Shane and all of his amazing staff. Shane is an amazing guy and clearly a very talented chef, but even more impressively, his staff were like a well-oiled machine. The food came out quickly, hot, and delicious. Shane's pride in his food and his staff is palpable, and really added an extra layer of reassurance and competence to a day that really needs that. The food was also truly INCREDIBLE. Literally dozens of our wedding guests went out of their way to say it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. Could not recommend highly enough. Thank you again Shane and co, we feel lucky to have found you!

Everything had a nice balance of flavors and wasn't too saucy or salty. We also took home a chunk of Pecorino cheese to enjoy later. The interior was cute and they offer lots of local things like chocolate and kitchenware. Wish there was more seating. The bathroom is located around the building and on the first floor. You will need to ask for the key. It is a hike to get there, but it is clean and secure.

But after you make your order, it was probably less than five minutes for them to prepare the cut we requested. They ran out of sliced brisket, which I think is the typical table section. They did say that they had some "mohawks" which I believe are slight portions of the deckle pieces but at the edges. We ordered that and one large beef rib. I will say the beef rib well $50 can easily feed three people. Smoked chicken quarter with boneless and wild delicious rather small. I did enjoy the pork belly barbecue is very expensive but all the four of us paid maybe $30 each, including gratuity and left very full.

A short list of favorites include their chicken wings, thai noodle salad, her cedar planked salmon, veggie trays. cheese charcuterie spread ... oh her devil eggs, and her lox and meatballs and those little puff pastry doodads and pork loin and oh jeez, all of it. So if you are looking to host a party or an event or wedding or just lazy and want amazing food during a pandemic .... you won't go wrong calling Delilah's!

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!

The atmosphere is casual and inviting but the food, both quality and presentation, steals the show. We tried a gin cocktail that was as beautiful as it was inventive. We followed this with the brussel sprouts salad which was lightly roasted but still tasted and looked green in the most delightful way, with some kind of light dressing that celebrates the vegetables in the salad medley without overpowering them. We took Calvin's recommendation and ordered the special which was a three mushroom fettuccine: it was perfection. The pasta was served al dente, the mushrooms included shitake, hedgehog, and one other and all had a unique flavor that stood out with each bite. The pasta sauce was buttery but somehow almost effervescent, embracing but not suffocating, with just enough cheese to know it's there but not enough to have it overpower the dish. At this point we didn't think the meal could get any better but then we ordered the pear, huckleberry, and pluot sorbet made at Celilo and we're now committed to coming back. The sorbet featured locally sourced Bosc pears and that flavor may have been my favorite as it was unlike any other sorbet I have ever tasted. All were sweet but complex. Simply an amazing dining experience that I recommend to anyone fortunate enough to get a table here!

We always felt like this place treated its patrons like they were second class but we went so support the message they gave, local fresh farm to table. Tonight we made reservations to support them as they closed their doors. Arriving 15 minutes early for our dining, we asked about the bar seating. We were told by the hostess, it was full.. We saw several seats that were open.. so I asked since no one was in the waiting area, why can;t we go into the bar. She stated that the bar patrons could hold seats for guests not yet arrived.. All the bars I have gone to consider it first come first serve.. So we and waited longer as we watched two people get seated in the bar area and we still waited to be sat. Here me out, the resturant had plenty of seats and I get server seating, but I just didn't appreciate the uptight attitude of the hostess. Well we left, and went to light house, great food, great service and view.. NOT Stuck up. So By Celilo, I see why local just don't got there and I see why your closing.

I recently stopped by Hood River Taqueria for lunch and ordered a Crazy Burrito with carne asada…read more I thought the burrito was pretty good overall. The guacamole was great. The red sauce was okay, but not my favorite. It tasted a lot like the red sauce from Del Taco. The rice and beans were great. It was hard to judge the salsa or carne asada since there didn't seem to be much of either of those. The ambiance was super cute. I loved the huge patio with tons of outdoor seating. The server was polite, and even asked me if I needed a fork, which I did. The location is great, especially if you are visiting for river based activities. It's maybe about a mile away from the waterfront, and close to a lot of other Hood River businesses. Overall, even though it wasn't my favorite wet burrito of all time, I had a good lunch here and I'm glad I checked this place out.
