Wildberry Restaurant near Rainier National Park is a delightful dining spot that perfectly complements a day spent exploring the stunning scenery of the area. Our recent visit was a lovely experience, showcasing the restaurant's commitment to delicious food and a warm atmosphere.
I opted for the Chicken Thali, and it was an absolute treat. The dish was beautifully presented, featuring a variety of flavors and textures. The chicken was tender and flavorful, marinated with spices that brought a delightful kick to every bite. The accompanying sides, including fragrant rice, fresh naan, and a medley of vegetables, created a well-rounded meal that left me feeling satisfied and content. Each component of the thali was thoughtfully crafted, allowing for a wonderful mix of tastes that truly celebrated the essence of Indian cuisine.
My husband chose the Blue Portobello Burger, and he couldn't have been happier with his choice. The grilled portobello mushroom was perfectly cooked, showcasing a rich, meaty texture that was enhanced by the flavorful toppings. The blue cheese added a delicious tang that paired beautifully with the savory mushroom, while the fresh lettuce and tomato brought a refreshing crunch. Served with crispy fries, it was a hearty and satisfying option that highlighted the restaurant's creative menu.
The ambiance at Wildberry is cozy and inviting, making it a great place to relax after a day of outdoor adventures. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring that we felt well taken care of throughout our meal. The decor features charming local art and rustic elements that create a warm atmosphere, perfect for unwinding.
In conclusion, our experience at Wildberry Restaurant was fantastic. The Chicken Thali and Blue Portobello Burger were both delicious and showcased the restaurant's diverse menu. With its welcoming atmosphere and attentive service, Wildberry is a must-visit for anyone exploring the Rainier National Park area. We left feeling satisfied and eager to return for another...
ย ย ย Read moreWe came to this restaurant after a long day and an exhausting hike. We really wanted to like this place (my husband was so excited to learn that the owner holds the record for the fastest climb to Mt. Everest) but everything fell extremely short of expectations. From the moment my mom and I walked in, we were treated with cold indifference - the two of us stood at the door for 5 minutes before anyone greeted us to seat us. The two of us arrived earlier to get seats for a table of four - including my husband and my dad - and were initially guided to a table next to the bathroom (ah, the dreaded table reserved for guests you don't want others to see, otherwise known as the tables reserved in the back by racist restaurants). We pushed back and insisted on sitting somewhere else, in the middle of the restaurant, eventually settling on a smaller table in the middle (they refused to give us the bigger table, probably because they wanted to reserve it for a more specific "preferred" clientele). Anyways, upon getting seated - having barely sat down yet - we were informed by the waiter that we had a 2 hour countdown starting the moment we got seated before our time at the table was up, so we should rush the 2 guests who haven't arrived yet to get here soon (even though we already ordered some food and drinks). Having already been a terrible experience, we wanted to be hopeful that at least the food is good (?) which, to be fair, is not bad, but definitely not out of this world and not even remotely close to being worth the lack of respect we were shown. My husband who grew up eating authentic Nepalese food said that the momos were too hard, and that we had better and more authentic Nepalese food in Seattle.
TLDR - If you only have a short trip in the area, I'd highly recommend checking out Paradise Valley Restaurant and Copper Creek Inn Restaurant for superior service and amazing food (definitely try their huckleberry butter, we even ordered...
ย ย ย Read moreI'm really sad to write this review as I want their business to do well but it was a terribly disappointing experience. The service was wonderful, but the food I'd give 0 stars but that's not an option.
I've eaten in Nepali restaurants around the world and this was by far the worst. We ordered 2 thalis, 1 veg and 1 non-veg. The food was totally bland, no taste whatsoever. The quantity was a joke for the price they are charging. There was hardly any chicken or gravy in the non-veg thali and the veg thali hardly had any chickpeas. We were left with plain white rice to shove down our throats. We had come here after a day of hiking and we were hungry, so we ordered the thalis. The salad was one broccoli and a few pieces of other veggies. The dal was watery, but still maybe the best thing in this joke called a thali. Generally in a thali there are various dishes and a thali is more than enough to fill you up. We are thin and fit and don't eat like giants, but we're left with plain white rice and no sides after a few bites. To say nothing of the taste of the food, bland! We have been here multiple times, as we have climbed Mt Rainier and hiked it many times and in the past always had great experience. I don't know what happened this time but it was a total miss. The mango lassi was good, the one star is for the mango lassi and the wonderful service. I sincerely hope they take this feedback in good spirit and improve the quality of the thali that they are serving. We love Nepali food and hope to come back if we are...
