    NY strip - huge!
    Kurt P.

    Dinner for 5 the other night. Summary: wonderful, worth it. "Rustic" interior, but the food is good. Menu is eclectic, with some interesting Polish selections which unfortunately we did not try. Do try their dry-aged steaks if they have them available (ask). The NY strip was absolutely huge, never seen on that big. I made the mistake of ordering a salad and did not ask for it to be served with my entree, so I had a lone steak to eat when they came out, and you really need something to take a break from gnawing on meat. My daughter enjoyed her dry aged ribeye so much that she wanted to go back the next weekend! My wife had the steak salad, and it came with a very generous portion of meat (see photo). Definitely a great choice for carnivores!

    Fettuccine Alfredo w/Pesto & Shrimp, amazing!
    Brenda R.

    The food was delicious & packed w/flavor. Fettuccine Alfredo w/Pesto was to die for!Great customer service and they even have a Pool table in the back. I would definitely recommend!

    Open flame grill when you enter.

    It was a busy place last Saturday night with a 20-minute wait in the bar. Had the ribeye with sauted mushrooms and a salad with blue cheese. Good quality meat cooked right on an open flame grill. Local beer on tap. Our server was great. Locals in the bar area mentioned the crowd slims down in the next few weeks after the vacationers return home. Fun place.

    Beef Cheeks, garlic bread, salad and chowder.
    Bill R.

    Wanted a nice dinner on our first night in Hood River. Found the Mesquitery on Yelp and decided to give it a try. We were NOT disappointed. Their web site address is a bit pretentious, but the food was excellent. We had the Beef Cheeks (split with 3 sides). We shared the garlic bread, my wife had chowder and I had a salad. All we're very very good. The Beef Cheeks were tender, flavorful and did not need a knife to cut. They basically fell into pieces when you touched them with the fork. The Cabernet was also very good with good legs.

    We traveled to Hood River today. We had a yearning for steak, and saw this place had good reviews. We got there a bit after 5, plenty of seating was available. The staff were friendly, and prompt. I ordered the 20oz Porterhouse, my wife got the 14oz Prime Rib. OMG, they were delicious!! My wife never eats a whole steak, but she ate the whole thing. They were cooked to perfection! There is a glass separation, so you can watch the cooking process. We (I) followed it with the caramel pecan cheesecake. Yummy! This place is a hidden gem! We would definitely eat here again!

    Jalapeño cheese pull apart bread - yum!
    Amy D.

    We sat in the bar area because they were busy but I think the dining room wolf have been nicer. The cheese bread was good and husband enjoyed his pierogis. My steak was cooked medium rare, just like I wanted. Wished the vegetables had more variety and I didn't enjoy the rice pilaf, but the Alfredo pesto pasta was so good!

    Get your grub on here

    We came in last Friday evening and were seated right away. I got the chicken pasta and it was so good. You got to try it. I was gonna take a pic of it but I ate it so fast that I did not have time too. All 4 people in our party really enjoyed our meals. The service here is top notch. Oh, try the perogies as they are delicious. They are made off-site and they cook them right there. If you want a good steak, this place is for you. I wanted to try to apple crisp with vanilla ice cream but I did not have enough room for it. The place is clean and even has a cool bar next door called the shed that you can get the same meals at as in the restaurant. Check this place out if you are ever in the area.

    Chicken schnitzel with mash and hunter gravy. Friend had the seafood special.

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!

Table service could use some improvement, not for lack of attention, but for too much of it. My companion's plate was immediately whisked away while I was still only half way through mine, which made me feel as if I was being rushed. On top of that, our server brought a dessert menu while I was still eating my main. Then another server came and asked if he could take my plate while was, again, still eating. And it was a midweek night, the place was maybe half full. It's as if they were trying to set record time for getting us in and out the door. To management - please be mindful of your portions and give your customers space, and time, to enjoy their meals.

    Not a friendly place for large groups…read more We were really the only group of people in there and I thought we'd get good service because of that. Our group came in two chunks and the host seemed annoyed by that. They pushed together another table and sat us together. It was kinda stuffy in the place so I opened up a window as it needed some fresh air. I was told it would possibly mess up the airflow of their kitchen? Some of us decided to split from the main group and sit out on the patio because of the stuffiness. The menu is for carnivores with a veggie burger and grill cheese for vegetarians but not really anything but chips and salsa for vegans. We also found out they only take 1 credit card and cash and no split bills. We were a large group of 14 people. It was a huge pain in the rear to figure out the mess. Honestly some of our party left and went elsewhere when they find that out. Not everyone had enough cash to cover them. When my burger came out they served it to the wrong person and we didn't figure it out for at least 10 minutes. So I got an already eaten plate. It was ok but they should be able to know who ordered what. Our waitress seemed annoyed by us and honestly not that friendly. My burger was overcooked and tasted like cardboard. There were no condiments like mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise on the table. We had to go get some. Just not a good experience here. I won't be back. I ordered my burger and fries and asked for it cooked medium.

    I've never had a bad meal at this delicious restaurant! The service is always friendly too.read more
