We love Papa Murphy's thin crust pepperoni pizza and have it about once a month. This is take and bake food that we sure enjoy.

The Subterranean

Reviewed By phantomtoe

We constantly had to flag server down, who made us feel like we were annoying her, to get drinks. When we asked about the bread that was supposed to come with our meals we were told that most people never want bread anymore. She did not offer to get us any or apologize. And then we sat for a very long waiting for someone to bring a bill and even longer to get the credit card run. The food was expensive, and not memorable. If I am going to put up with the truly awful service (2nd worst service of my life), the food has to be something i think about. I don't even remember what we ordered. Skip this place.

Romul's

Reviewed By Mike S

Bewerte in town to mountain bike and didn't get out to eat until later in the evening and were surprised how many places weren't open. Luckily we saw this place as we drove by. It wasn't necessarily cheap but the manicotti (I ordered it with bolognese) was one of teh top 3 Italian dishes I've ever had. Their margaritas were excellent as well. I would have had several if I wasn't mountain biking early the next morning.

I really enjoyed sitting at the new bar, you get to see more of the river view now. I had pasta for lunch, it was really good. Mariva was my bartender. She was great, very friendly and genuine. She made it a comfortable atmosphere to have lunch.

My best friend Gail and I were there for a long girly weekend. The Riverside far surpassed our expectations. Service, Food, atmosphere were all spot on. Happy Hour was a delight, and the selections were plentiful. The salads were large and the dinners were exceptional. I had the Wedge and Steak and seasonal veg, all off the Happy Hour Menu. Outstanding. Fresh, tender meat, veggies cooked to perfection. But breakfast was off the charts. Poached pear, maple pecan French toast that was not too sweet and melted in your mouth. The Short Rib Hash was just delicious and had a lot of very tender pieces of meat cooked just right. Onions, peppers, and potatoes were also delicious. The coffee was wonderful and the Pumpkin Spice Mule drink I had was a favorite. The views of the Gorge spectacular. Highly recommend this place. Will definitely be going back. And bonus. If you stay at The Best Western Plus in Hood River, you get breakfast for free!!!Dear Sherri L,We appreciate your generous and detailed review. Thank you for taking the time to submit it. We are ecstatic to hear how much enjoyed your meals with us at Riverside and Happy Hour at Cebu. We hope you enjoyed your long girls weekend, and that you're able to join us again in the future!

Reviewed By jackiebr63

We’ve been a fan of this place before it moved across the river because they used wonderful local fruits and vegetables in a wide array of cooking styles. This hasn’t changed at all. We started the meal with their hand cut truffle fries then moved on to an heirloom tomato peaches toast with a unique goat cheese and herb spread. We then ate one of their pizzas, Cremini Mushroom and goat cheese with a sprinkling of mozzarella pizza. It was loaded with mushrooms but I just didn’t think the crust was terrific. It needed to remain a wee bit longer in the brick oven. And perhaps a bit more mozzarella. My only other complaint and this is a problem with many Hood River restaurants, they are not air conditioned. On a stifling hot minimal breeze evening like last night sitting on their outside eating area was miserable. But eating indoors probably as bad. And when we left after 9 pm the place was still packed!
