A romantic dinner for a special evening, with a nice atmosphere. We visit Hood River area often but had not tried this restaurant and we were celebrating our anniversary. We started off with the clams, caprese, and arugula salad. Our main courses were the salmon and the pappardelle with sugo. We finished with cheesecake and the Elise DeChannes. Everything was …
Had a wonderful meal at Celilo. Just a simple beer and hamburger after a long day hiking. My top priority when choosing a restaurant is one that serves organic food or has a heavy farm to table influence. Locally sourced food from Farmers that care always tastes better. As you can tell by other reviews for Solo, the food is …

Another splendid meal at Celilo last night, which features local Gorge growers and producers and homemade pasta. Such an incredible, professional staff. My bride started with the Gazpacho, which was so fresh like drinking fresh tomatoes. I went for the always great Steak Frites, though was jealous of her Pesto Chitarra pasta, which I almost did not give back. One …
We did not have a reservation but just so happened to walk in right at 5 when they opened and offered us the bar or the tables next to the bar, since there were 4 us they put two of the tables together for us. Rachel was our server and she right off the bat was amazing helping us with …
Celilo Catering catered my wedding at The Orchard Hood River. And it was INCREDIBLE! Celilo provides not just dinner for your wedding, but an experience. You can smell the food being cooked in the open kitchen, you can see the garden where it came from, and when it's time to eat, family style dining created the feeling of an intimate …
