"Come for the views but stay for the food at this beautiful hotel restaurant. Riverside is Hood River’s only dining option directly on the water, with an expansive deck nestled next to the Columbia River. Executive chef Mark DeResta makes French toast with local blueberries and brioche from White Salmon Baking Co. across the river, transitioning to house-made pastas or Columbia River salmon during dinner service. You’ll also find an extensive bottle list highlighting wines from the Columbia River Gorge." - Zoe Baillargeon, Molly Allen
