What a great experience! After visiting the duty free shop and purchasing a very cool Dead Guy Ale zip up hoody and a quality Dead Guy Ale beanie, we enjoyed a wonderful lunch in the restaurant. Our server was Juan. He was friendly, attentive and very informative, even though he was also busy with a table of 22 guests at the same time! Juan offered us a sampling of two different ales, one of which was a hit! The Pineapple Punch Ale was not quite our taste but much more pleasant than I would have imagined. The Dreamland American Lager was delicious! Paired with a shot of Rouge River Straight Rye Malt Wiskey ( sooo smooth and tasty )$12 paired, was a delightful treat! The food..OMG! I ordered the Northwest Garden Salad. A generous and beautiful presentation! Fresh and absolutely delicious! The house made basil vinaigrette is something that I will crave for the rest of my life!!! I fully enjoyed every bite! They can't sell it In a bottle because it's made fresh. My new project will be to try to re-create it at home. Wish me luck! My guy ordered the Dead Guy Fish and Chips. I had to sneak just one bite..even though my diet plan does not include fried foods..can I just say..if there is a heaven....the best, lightly battered, fresh flakey halibut that just melts in your mouth! He also ordered a cup of their clam chowder, also not in my diet plan but, again..had to sneak a bite..I could just melt. So, so good! From the superior service to the tip top quality of the food, this was truly a pleasurable dining experience. When I received the bill, under $60, I couldn't help recall the many dining experiences at that price point that did not come close in every respect. If you have an opportunity to visit and dine at Rouge River Brewing Nation, Newport OR. DO IT!
