To say that the restaurant did a great job with our party is an understatement. A huge thank you to the amazing staff who served our group and made our celebration both effortless and delicious! Now a few comments on the food. Seriously, don't skip the pastries here since they're incredible. Since this was a party, I ordered trays of pastries for the group and got to try some of everything, including their enormous cinnamon rolls, maple bars, and fruit danish. All were the best I've ever had, although I had a special addiction to the maple bars. From there, our large group was able to order off their extensive regular menu. Every plate was gigantic and apparently very good (based on the appearance of our table at the end). I had their Crab Benedict which featured real crab drowning in tasty Hollandaise sauce. Bette's Place deserves all accolades. I'll remember our brunch there always.

The service was welcoming and very attentive. I got the vegetarian omelette with hash browns and a pancake. It was quite a large portion, especially with the full sized pancake as a side. The omelette was stuffed full of nicely cooked veggies and a significant portion of fresh avocado. The hash browns were perfectly crispy. The pancake was pillowy, buttery, and soaked up the provided warm maple syrup in the most amazing way. I had a couple bites croissant breakfast sandwich, which was also delicious and flavorful.

The matcha was a bit light for my taste and I didn't taste much of the jasmine syrup either. The breakfast burrito bowl was flavorful and I loved the pan fried cheese on top! It only comes with eggs, onions and cheese but you can add sausage, avocado and potatoes for an extra charge. The cafe itself is very cute and all the staff are very friendly. They have a few tables outside to soak up some sun on a nice day (like today!) Iced jasmine matcha: 4/10 way too light for me Breakfast burrito bowl: 7.5/10 Service: 10/10

Hood Hotel (part of it?). Lovely decor, outside tables were set up but a little too chilly that morning. Loved the large bar and small tables setup with an inside set of booths. Friendly and warm service, coffee was served in glass mugs, felt like home :) We ordered the trout hash and the onion+mushroom hash. Both were unique and delicious! Served with warm walnut bread, just delightful! Highly recommend a stopover if driving through or even stopping for a hike at the nearby falls.

Ordered based on previous reviews and it so worked out. Had great fluffy Danish pancakes, look like donut holes but tastes like the fluffiest pancakes. And both the lemon curd and the lingonberry jam were outstanding. We also had the fruit fritters and baked eggs and sausage which was also great. Overall not a bad bite to be had. The place was busy and fairly crowded and loud, which was OK, but if you are looking for quiet and relaxing, this is not the place for you.

We all got different sandwiches and every single one of us loved what we got. Wasn't too busy on a Friday morning, plenty of open seating. They did have pastries as well but did not partake. Ordered the bagel and lox which was amazing- came with all the fixings such as tomatoes, capers & red onions. The salmon was fresh and the bagel was nice and toasty, just the way I prefer. Got to taste the sandwich with the jam and loved it. Kind of wish I got that sandwich instead just cause of the jam. The bread was really good too- I think they were homemade english muffins. Everything on the sandwich was just chef's kiss! All of the employees were really nice. The place was clean as you have to "buss" your own table. Glad that people can follow directions. The drinks my group ordered came out piping hot and was served with a smile. Cool spot!

You order at the counter and they bring it out to you. The dining space is bright with tons of seating. I love that they make their own bread!! It's super soft and such a nice touch. I usually go with the turkey which has turkey, white cheddar, tomato, pickles, onion, lettuce, and hot mustard. It was a bit spicier than I would have liked, not that it was too hot, but that flavor was really dominant for me so I'd probably modify it a bit in the future or just build my own . My daughter loved her ham sandwich which comes with sprouts, avocado, and cucumber. My husband also really liked his Italian and their clam chowder. This place is definitely worth a stop if you are hungry in the Gorge!

I also had a half sweet vanilla latte and that was super good too! My daughter had their quesadilla, also very good. I have been in a slump lately with restaurants around me all tasting like the same Sysco crap, I'm not sure where kickstand gets their food, but it at least tasted fresh and homemade, and they had a good variety on their menu. Loved their patio seating, dog friendly, they turned on their mister right as we were leaving too, I'm sure that's nice on a hot day. Service was also great, the two people we interacted with were nice and I left feeling happy! Can't wait to come back!

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.
