We had the teres major that was superb, and lemon kissed chicken pasta with 5 large pesto shrimp added that was soooo fabulous! Service was friendly and the food came quickly.

Fireside Lounge seems like a typical hotel restaurant / bar in that the food is passable, and no…read morefurther effort is made because they have a captive audience. There are not a lot of other dining options in the area, so Fireside is a pretty easy choice. The food is just OK. Definitely stuff that is mass-produced and heated on-site. Prices are mercifully low, so one doesn't feel as though they've been ripped off. There is a big selection of non-alcoholic beverages, which I appreciated. The real standout here was the friendliness of the staff. Everybody I interacted with was very friendly and helpful. There was a band playing during my visit, and they seemed to be as "bar band" as bar bands get. I was the only person who applauded after each song, which was weird to me. I'd have hoped that staff, at least, would have applauded as well.

First timer here and I went with the NY Steak & Shrimp for my entree. Surprisingly, the oven roasted potatoes were absolutely killer here. Served with a generous amount, they were almost the star of the plate, coming in a close second to the shrimp which was nice and lightly fried and had a good crisp on the initial bite followed by a mouthful of juicy jumbo shrimp. The steak was decent and could of been better, it was a bit on the tougher side as I asked for it to be medium--well and it sure was more on the "well" side. So next time I'll try it cooked medium. Still good and I finished my entire plate. Can't forget the asparagus which was prepared perfectly, not too soggy, but not too crunchy/raw either. Enjoyed my first experience at Summit View Lounge. Will give the Italian next door neighbor restaurant a try next time. P.S. -- Salads are huge here and make a great shareable appetizer. The clam chowder is awesome and worth all of the extra $4.

However, it was terrible this time. $15.95 for a large ( NOT...totally laughable they call it a large) spicy pork nachos. Chips, what there was of them, were all on the bottom. So, super soggy. Tons of Luke warm and cold toppings that were microwaved (Come on, we can totally tell). The taste was terrible, not even just bad, but terrible!! We will eat there again if we go back, because it really is the first time for us that it was bad. But, they only get one more shot. Lol

This is a great dive bar and very much to my liking. It's been here forever, or for at least as…read morelong as I've been coming to Mt Angel. It's pretty much a locals hangout but the staff and patrons are friendly towards outsiders and even greasy Bikers like me. Good selection of beers. The menu is limited so I usually go with fish and chips or a burger. They do run specials and you can never go wrong ordering a special. There's several good saloons in Mt Angel which is not surprising. The burb is sort of the beer capitol of Oregon. 30 miles south of Portland and 20 miles north of Salem so handy enough to get to. But you are really out in the country here. Just getting here and back is a very nice ride. Well, until you hit I-5.

Absolutely TERRIBLE experience…read more I honestly don't even know how an experience this ridiculous happens. First, my party had to wait about 10 minutes just to get acknowledged by a bartender before we could even order. Once we finally got served, I ordered a beer and spent some time playing video poker, talking with people, cheering others on, and having a good time. For the record, I had TWO beers the entire time I was there. I was not drunk. I wasn't loud. I wasn't causing problems. I wasn't being disrespectful. I was actually having a genuinely good time. Then, out of nowhere, Dustin kicked me out. Apparently, because I bumped into a quarter machine, I was suddenly told that I had an "attitude" toward the poker machines. What?! I was sitting there playing, laughing, talking with people, giving people high fives, telling them good job when they won, and cheering them on even when I wasn't winning myself. I was enjoying myself and had a positive attitude the entire time. Yet somehow I was the problem. What made the situation even worse was that I wasn't even given the opportunity to properly finish up and pay my tab. I was simply told to leave and told not to come back for the rest of the week. No reasonable explanation. No conversation. Just "leave." And I did. I left without causing a scene because, unlike what I was apparently accused of, I wasn't there looking for trouble. I've been coming to Tiny's at least once a month for a beer, to gamble a little, socialize, cheer people on, and enjoy myself. I've had plenty of positive experiences with the other bartenders, which is why this interaction was so disappointing. But today was easily the absolute WORST experience I've ever had there. I genuinely wish there had actually been a legitimate reason for kicking me out. If I had been drunk, obnoxious, yelling, disrespectful, or actually causing problems, then fine--I'd understand being asked to leave. But that wasn't what happened. I had TWO beers. I was respectful. I was having fun. I was talking to people. I was cheering for other people. I was laughing and giving high fives. I wasn't causing a scene. And somehow I'm the one who gets kicked out and accused of having an "attitude." Being thrown out over something as ridiculous as apparently bumping a quarter machine, without even being given a real explanation, was incredibly frustrating and embarrassing. Dustin, you handled this terribly. You turned what should have been a normal night out into an experience that has completely changed how I feel about coming back. So, congratulations. Tiny's has officially lost a regular customer. TINYS -- NO MORE. And Dustin? You suck. Period.
