Check my other reviews, I definitely do not take lightly to leaving a poor review, and rarely do so as I know what kind of damage that can do to a business. I have tried many times to give this place a chance, because it is close to home. I am honestly done though because the bottom line is this place is on a down hill slide and FAST!!!! They have for some reason fired all of the competent and nice employees they once had ( with the exception of one that I can think of) and now have “corporate” type people running the place! They are not friendly at all and actually most give the exact opposite vibe you would expect of a restaurant type atmosphere. They have a bar that is attached to the restaurant with a video lottery area…and if you do decide to throw a couple bucks in the machine BEWARE because if luck is on your side and you win anything over $100 they typically won’t be able to pay it because somehow they don’t have access to cash!?!? Also, good luck getting a beer or any specific drink you would like. They are typically out of most of the common stuff and if they do happen to have it it will probably be warm! Also, even if they do have what you are hoping for good luck getting anything you need in any sort of timely manner- the whole place is just a HOT MESS! I feel very sorry for the past employees who were awesome and the people who are not local and staying at the hotel! I am sure one stay at this location will have them looking elsewhere for their next trip if they visit this restaurant. I would NOT recommend this place, and will not be back! I WOULD recommend corporate take a hard look at what is happening here because this is NO way to run a business and I have seen the entire decline first hand! Signed, a once...

I recently stayed at the adjoining Holiday Inn hotel and decided to eat in the restaurant more as a default. How pleasantly surprised I was to find a modern restaurant with a menu with variety to suit different tastes and diets. Even more outstanding was the quality of food once it was served! I had a chicken, pear, and apple salad with a spicy berry vinaigrette that is truly one of the tastiest salads I’ve ever eaten in a restaurant! Not to mention it was a very large portion. I also wanted a healthy appetizer and asked if they had some sort of hummus plate (which was not listed on the menu). The server was very pleasant and told me they’d be happy to prepare one. Generous portions of fresh veggies, pita bread, and hummus with a dollop of pesto made it refreshing and delicious. Prices are on par with restaurants in and around the Portland area - my salad and hummus plate with a soft drink was $29. I will happily seek out this restaurant for a meal in the future when working/traveling...
Read moreIt was kind of a random choice. My friend called it "The Hotel Resteraunt"! It was not super busy when we came in, hit there was no one at the front nor a sign saying to wait or seat ourselves or whatever. There were probably 3 people in the bar, so we got the bartender's attention and he got us seated and served us and all. I decided to stick to simple, so I ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo and had them add the chicken to it. It was lovely! Fresh cut sweet peppers added on top and cheese melted on it, I was very pleased with the meal! The bread on the side was a bit too hard crusted, but I was able to eat the softer inner part of them. I had plenty to take home for lunch the next day (just finished it as I typed this review even!) I enjoyed this a lot, it's kinda plain decor, and it was loud (would prefer they separated and made the dining area quiet compared to the bar) but it still was good food and...
