Camp 1805 Distillery & Bar — Restaurant in Hood River

Have mixed feelings about this place. I really liked the atmosphere and enjoyed some outdoor seating, the problem was mainly with my service, the server came off a little strong. She asked everyone from their ID's and tried to tell my bf that his was expired and argued when we told her it wasn't and had her recheck the expiration date -December 2017 after realizing her mistake she then tossed it across the table back. When asked questions about the menu she was unsure of price differences and not very informative. After we ordered my water remained empty until we flagged down after server to ask for more. Upon receiving food it looked great except for my grilled cheese had tri-tip added on which I didn't ask for, she had them make a new one but left me with my plate to munch on my chips which was nice. My bf and friend really enjoyed their food and thought it was pretty good. After they had finished I received my new grilled cheese, this time it has crunched up chips inside?? I thought that was weird, no mention on the menu of them. Oh well I was hungry. After that the service was very slow getting a check. Overall it seemed to be an alright place just had some...

The good: nice atmosphere outside and some good drink options. The food menu is appealing. The staff is friendly.

The bad: had a mezcal old fashioned while my wife had a rum old fashioned that appeared to have any sugar left out of it. Not very good. Afterwards we tried to order dinner to share and they were out of 50% of the menu. No pork philly or pork nachos. Even the salad we inquired about wasn’t available. She listed what was available on the menu which was about 5 things. That was super disappointing and made me wonder why we actually went there. Wouldn’t take that chance again. The staff was very friendly and was attentive for a while. After we had an appetizer we sat and waited and waited and waited. Between talking with friends for 15 minutes and dancing inside by herself she wasn’t really paying attention so we had to get up and go get someone to take our food order, which they didn’t have much of.

Overall I like the idea of Camp 1805 with a creative cocktail list with their own spirits. But too many other things were missing, like the food and...

I'm fairly new to the area & we try to check out different spots on the weekends. We really wanted to try this place because the menu looked great, but we read a bunch of bad reviews with snarky comebacks from the owner...which kinda made me want to try it even more. 😏 And I'm sooooo glad we did!!!! We were warmly greeted as we entered & seated immediately (not expected for a Friday night at prime dinner/drinks hour). We ordered drinks & our meals almost immediately after we finished reading the menu & it was delivered in standard timing (no long wait even though it was crowded). The non-alcoholic drink I ordered was refreshing & delicious (sorry I can't remember which one it was!). Above all else, my Summer Poke & Rice Bowl was friggin' DELICIOUS! Flavors were light & blended so well together! It was exactly what I wanted. And Tlthe waitress was so sweet after we were done, with the right amount of friendly & professional. All around...I don't know what the heck those other reviewers were smokin' but I know we'll...
