I usually avoid hotel restaurants but the client I was…read morevisiting said this place was really good, without knowing I was staying there The place is down stairs from the lobby and it's dark and cool. Took a seat at the bar and was greeted promptly. Looked over the menu and decided on the smoked angels envy old fashioned. It was happy hour so I got the half wedge salad. Was not a traditional wedge but was really good. For my main I got the lomo saltado, mole rubbed steak tips with onions, peppers, French fries over rice. Was a wild mix of stuff. Steak pieces were pretty small but full of flavor and the sauce over the whole thing was delicious. Was worried the fries would be soggy but the sauce made them better. Sopped up the sauce with the rice and fries. Amazing. Asked for a margarita to go with the meal, seemed appropriate. Sat at the bar so service was good, kept water full and checked in repeatedly Was a great time and great food

It's a beautiful restaurant, we had a large party seated by the window, and our server was SO fun. Everyone was incredibly sweet, and the service was perfect. It was also close to my birthday, and they ended up singing to me twice because our server didn't know the first time! They even brought me a complimentary cake, so it made for such a fun memory. Food-wise, the burrata needed a little more balsamic, but the empanadas were a 10/10, the sauces were amazing, and I loved the fried grit fritters and bread. The drinks were also SO good. Our entire group became obsessed with the Coco No Loco and kept ordering them all night! Unfortunately, my steak was where they lost the star. It was SO tough and honestly difficult to chew. The flavor was also spicier than I expected, but that part is on me! I think they may have just had an off night with the steak, because everything else was incredible. I'd absolutely come back, I'd just order something other than steak next time. 4/5!

I was a little confused how to get in so we walked in to the restaurant (The Hive Social) and asked. They let us to the secret stair case and said we'd need to figure out the rest for ourselves. And we did. The portrait swung open and we discovered the coolest bar! The ambiance was very cozy and perfect for our date night. Our server was very friendly and made some suggestions when asked. We ordered a couple rounds of drinks and several small plates to share. They even staggered our apps to not overwhelm our cozy table. Everything was delicious. Well worth the drive and we will be back for sure (and probably bring friends)!

And now I've discovered my favorite place to stop in at when I'm in town! My favorite cuisine is Thai, and my favorite Thai food is fresh salad rolls with peanut sauce. That's what I ordered on a cold, blustery day..that with a pot of jasmine tea. It sure warmed me up! The service is great! The server was friendly with a beautiful smile. She checked with me to see if I needed more hot water or peanut sauce. Yes please on the peanut sauce! I will definitely be back!

I started with a cucumber basil margarita- very refreshing. Then ordered the cashew nut entree, medium spice and it was delicious- all my favorite veggies with chicken, and added shrimp to it (additional charge). I really enjoyed the flavors and probably could've gone up a spice level- there is a pepper oil on the table that I dribbled on and really enhanced the flavor. I loved dipping the rice in the juice as well. So good. Very cute inside, and wish I could give the waitress more stars- she was really nice, helpful, attentive, and made really good drinks. I also got the lychee martini to end and it was delicious as well. Very highly recommend to visit. I heard multiple people order the pumpkin curry and may have to come back and give it a try.

We've been for both breakfast (pictures attached & speak for themselves :D) and lunch- both times were delicious! Make sure you go early enough or there's a chance they will already be sold out of something on the specials board as happened to one of the guests in our party of four. The hubby says they make a great bloody Maria with their own spices and nice veggie accompaniments. Same thumbs up for their margaritas too. Not really a place to take large groups but given their hospitality, I'm sure they would try. Best to call in advance for that need. Super friendly staff, it almost feels like you've gone to their home and treated like family. You've likely seen the place if you've driven on McLoughlin/99E as they're right on the corner but only accessed from northbound side. A small parking lot but since it's the north end of town you're likely to find a spot on the street too. Support their restaurant ... would love to have them be around for a long time!

And you can get a six dollar corndog with a big piece of sausage in the center so that's pretty cool too. The staff is amazing the environment and ambience is very fun and everybody was having a great time. This will be our new neighborhood joint for sure.

Where it struggles is presentation and flow. The entry isn't very inviting, seating is tight, benches are worn, and the bathrooms and back areas could use a serious cleaning. There's no clear waiting area or place to pay, which makes checkout awkward especially since it's cash only, leaving you feeling like you're in the way just trying to settle the bill. Service was a longer wait, understandable with how packed it was, but a little polish would help. The staff works hard, but a cleaner, more uniform look and keeping the attitude in check would go a long way. Dean's has history and loyal regulars, but it could really benefit from a modern tune-up. For now, it lands right in the middle: 3.5 stars.

I always love the view of the river, and we especially enjoy when we get to see our housekeeper, Missy. Missy truly goes above and beyond. She always greets us warmly, checks to see if there's anything we need, and makes us feel so welcome. On our most recent stay, we originally had a room with one bed, but we usually get two because we like having the extra bed for our bags. We ended up moving rooms to the other end of the hotel. That morning, my husband had to rush off to work because he was running late, and we were quickly trying to get everything moved. Missy kindly told us not to worry or rush on her account, and that she would take care of cleaning the old room. About an hour after I got settled into the new room, there was a knock at the door--it was Missy! She had brought me two hangers I had accidentally left behind in our old room, and one of them even had my bracelet wrapped around it. I hadn't even realized I had left it behind. That small gesture meant so much to me. Missy is absolutely amazing and such an asset to the Rivershore. It's wonderful to see someone who genuinely cares about guests and goes out of her way to make sure everything is taken care of. Thank you, Missy, for always making our stays that much better! On a couple of other notes, if you enjoy gin, they have a Gompers gin made in Bend, Oregon in small batches. I don't usually drink gin, but this one is very smooth and delicious--and hard to find. Whenever we come to Oregon, we always pick up a few bottles to take back to Arizona for friends. Also, if you eat in the dining room, the sourdough bread is incredible. It has a perfectly crunchy crust and is honestly so good I could eat the whole loaf myself.
