Cebu Lounge at the Hood River Inn

No room service after 9 on Friday nite WTF. Wait staff acts like they are doing you a favor. Poor poor poor

The bartender was incompetent and inattentive. Nice selection of craft beers on tap, but it’s difficult to get one. Make sure to request silverware and appetizer plates and napkins if you order an appetizer-​or better yet go elsewhere.

The view is amazing. The service is amazing. The food is even MORE amazing! I went for Happy Hour two nights in a row and will most likely come again tomorrow. Cold drinks, served fast. You can’t beat the happy hour here! Everyone is so friendly and efficient. The prices can’t compare to anywhere else In town. I highly recommend it!

Small space, service was friendly but slow. The entertainment for the night was a piano player and sorry his notes were all off and his piano playing sounded like he was pounded every note. But hey… it’s free entertainment so who cares, right? The food was big portions. I ordered the Bolognese and was surprised that the meat was almost the size of little meatballs instead of minced and blended into the sauce. My friend had the eggplant parmesan and said the eggplant was great but the sauce wasn’t. It did not have much taste and tasted like an opened can of stewed tomatoes. The fried calamari was good and nicely bread and had something else in it other than calamari that was fried and it tasted like a veggie but we couldn’t tell. I supposed we could have asked but didn’t bother to since it was tasty, even if it meant we got a little less fried calamari.

Happy Hour amazing deals. Our server Kate was great (sweet, quick and attentive). I ordered house wine which was a very nice red blend of, pardon my spelling, Sangiovese & Dolcceto. Taste wasn’t too dry and went along great with their pizza.
I got the tomato basil soup and they sprinkle parmigiana on top which I personally enjoyed but not everyone likes parm so heads up. They’re calamari was really good and their dipping sauce had a spicy kick, yumm!
We tried the clams which were really good, and pepperoni pizza. Fish and chips were huge portions so I recommend sharing that plate. Burgers looked good although I didn’t taste them. I ordered the grilled pizza with bacon, goat cheese, red onion, and roasted squash. I have to say didn’t expect the squash to taste so good on my pizza but dang I was wrong. It’s really really good! Prices during happy hour are pretty phenomenal so come early because about 20minutes after we arrived the house got packed.

Ordered the only burger they serve during Happy Hour. It’s a slow, off season Monday, and the place is only 50% full. Quick to order and quick with a drink, excellent so far. A group of 3 came in 5 minutes after I had placed my order and another couple after them. The group of three all got their burgers delivered before mine (and I am dining solo), then the even later couple got their tempura fish and salad before me. My salad came out and the waitress said; «The burger is on the way.» 5 minutes later she delivered a cold burger, which I immediately turned back. The complexity of my order, you ask? Medium burger, no tomato…

The food was fine — you pay for the gorgeous view, and our server was good (attentive and seemed to come by at a nice interval). But the complimentary bread came out before our drinks and one of our drinks came out 5 min before the other 2.
But the biggest issue was the rude, micromanaging manager who was there when we had lunch, and if I were in charge, I’d immediately fire her.
We asked if the deck was open since it was a rare gorgeous day, and were told «It’s open, but you really shouldn’t sit out there, ’cause it’s about to rain. And it’s not our fault if you freeze ’cause its really cold too» I checked the weather, then looked outside. There was 0% chance of rain and the temps were in the 60’s. ??? Then, before she’d let the greeter person seat us, she insisted on going over some scheduling issues while we stood awkwardly by. Two of us went to use the restroom, passing by the front desk, about 10 min apart and both times she was either needling the waitstaff about little details, or openly discussing employee issues. Totally unacceptable and grounds for dismissal in my book. I continue to be baffled why this type of behavior is accepted these days.

This is a great place to stay, have drinks, and food… Even late night.

Yummy drinks and happy hour food deals. Burger at happy hour is a really great find. Nice salads and pasta too.

Nice place to watch football, horrible place to hear it. After being told the sound comes on at 6 pm… At 6:05 ask when it was going to come on. She said oh, this is full volume! There was no sound there at all, total bait and switch. If she had been honest about the fact there is no sound; we would have left to go to a normal place that had normal sounds for normal football games. Only game on tonight and the bar was full of fans…

I should start by saying that after a less than stellar experience here two nights ago, management became aware of my dissatisfaction and made earnest attempts to try and make things right… goes a long way in my book!
I gave this place another shot last night for dinner with my wife.
Staff was much more attentive tonight than they were the night before. Our waitress in particular was very friendly, and initially was quite quick to wait on us. It did seem to take a bit after ordering a drink to get the first one, but that I don’t believe was on the waitress. While she didn’t let our drinks stay dry for long without checking on us, she didn’t seem to check in too often. It’s not that it was bad service, probably just some inexperience.
It did take the food a while to come out, but after it got there, I had no complaints. We both ordered the ribeye, my wife got the mashed potatoes, and I got the gnocchi. Everything was excellent! Based on what we ate, food wise this could be one of the, if not the, best place in town.
