53000 Historic Columbia River Hwy

I came here with family from out of town. We had been here a few times before and the food was okay. But we enjoyed eating under the waterfall. Our last experience here was the worst. My friend from out of town offered to pay for the meal. She gave the waitress her card and the waitress came back a moment later saying we never gave her a card. My friend obviously did and started to panic because this was far from where we were staying and she needed her card for the rest of the day and trip... They said they couldn't find her card but we needed to pay for the meal... they let us come in the back and look around. We couldn't find it. We were so confused. A moment later we went back to the table to get another card. A manager approached us (blonde woman from what I remember) offered us a 100$ gift card as an apology for losing our friends credit card. A moment later the waitress came out saying she found the card. After about 30 minutes of all of us looking for it. The manager took back the gift card and said "we'll thankfully you don't need this and we can take this back and just forget this happened" and took back the gift card. After all of that. It put a terrible taste in our mouth. It was extremely rude and totally unprofessional. Terrible experience. Awful management. We came back today because we wanted to bring a friend, this will be our absolute last time. The salmon clam chowder was just chunks and no soup, had an odd taste from the last I had it. The cream brûlée is the only thing I truly enjoy here. But totally not worth it because I'm not paying for parking and having to over pay for subpar food on top of that. The ambience is beautiful and sitting under the waterfall is beautiful but the experience just ruined it for us.

Stopped in based on convenience factor alone. Nice dining area with glass roofing with some views of the falls. Menu is varied enough with brunch options still offered around 1130, then plenty of salad/sandwiches/entrees available on a separate menu. Service is friendly but goodness it took the kitchen over 20 min for 2 salads to come out, when there were maybe a handful of tables seated. Food tasted ok. Wife got the steak salad and it was prepared well. I got the salmon salad and it lacked proper seasoning and was slightly overdone. The salmon filet was good sized but not much spinach surprisingly.

This review is for the coffee shack next door. Avoid at all costs. The coffee was pricey and tasted like warm water. I'm unsure why there was a line to get coffee as it was pretty bad. I think you're better off going into the restaurant and ordering coffee from them.

After visiting the Falls, my boyfriend and I decided to stop by the restaurant for a nice lunch before heading back to our hotel. This review is for the bar service and the area. It was a quaint little bar area since for the dining room, it was a 45 min wait. Note that bar service area is for 21+. My boyfriend and I got seated right away and we were quickly served some drinks and water. I ordered the Salmon chowder bread bowl and my boyfriend ordered the chicken teriyaki with rice. He also ordered a cup of the tomato soup (not pictured). I enjoyed my chowder and ate the entire thing! I like how they toasted the bread too! One of the best bread bowls I've had. My boyfriend like the chicken teriyaki but when it first came out, there wasn't enough sauce for the chicken and rice. It was an easy fix after asking for some teriyaki sauce. Everything tasted delicious and the server was quick to serve.

To put it simply, Multnomah Falls Lodge Restaurant is not bad... but it's not great either. It is just okay. First, I want to make it clear that my rating has nothing to do with the disastrous parking situation as that is something they really can't control. So let's start with the ambiance. It's awesome. We went on a Monday with a Noon reservation so the seating was a plenty. We even got seated with the waterfall in clear view! Service was a mixed bag, unfortunately. The greeters were friendly and nice, and our server was also friendly and nice but they were not very attentive and extremely slow. Also, things were missing and we had to ask for it. For example, we ordered the calamari appetizer that never came, and they didn't provide stirring sticks with our coffee. They repeatedly apologized, stating that they had multiple tables across two different rooms so they had to do a lot of running around. I totally understand... but to completely forget an appetizer is kind of a bummer and not a good reason (especially since another server was doing a great job hustling and bustling). We made sure the calamari wasn't included on the final bill (it wasn't) and they gave our coffees for free to make up for it, which, sure, is cool... but it's also the cheapest thing on the menu. The food we did get was pretty good. I really wanted the cheeseburger but ended up getting the trout with rice and veggies (as well as a tomato soup). I'd recommend it if fish is your thing. My wife got the salmon with rice and veggies (as well as a French onion soup), and she too recommends it... again, if fish is your thing. I just really wish I had a chance to try their calamari... Lastly, this place doesn't serve Coca-Cola which, as you know, is a red flag for me. I think one thing that made up for it was that you can walk up to the falls after (or even before) your reservation. That part is completely free. It is really stunning to see in person but even for a Monday, it was still quite crowded with tourists. In the end, it's safe to say that I'll never go back. Not because the restaurant experience was mediocre but because the price, the drive, and the parking situation is just not worth it. I think if you've seen the falls in person once while driving past it, that's truly good enough.

We went for their bunch buffet and boy were we blown away! There was delicious prime rib, shrimp cocktail, salmon, egg benny and all the staple breakfast fixings. Honestly for $65.90 for 2 people it's a deal of the century plus you get to dine with the famous waterfall in the background. You can't beat this vibe! We will definitely be coming back for more brunch days. Also $10 for bottomless mimosas, yesssss pleaseeeeee!!! Do this with your partner or girlies for a fun brunch date!

Reasonably priced food. Large portions. Good service. View not as awesome as I expected. Could sit outside which was disappointing.

- Very nice interior cabin like interior - Large portions per plate - Indoor and outdoor seating We arrived here by a shuttle bus, so by the time we arrived here, we were starving. Before heading to the waterfalls we decided to eat first. We visited the lodge around in the early afternoon, so the tables were still open and easier to choose form. We decided to eat inside because I loved seeing the grand eating area. It felt like sitting inside a large cabin with a fantastic sunroof overhead. While the summer brought in a heat, it was still early in the morning, so the sun wasn't overhead. During our meal time, the the rays from the sunroof barely grazed over us, so we had a comfortable seat to eat and didn't feel sweaty. We ordered a humus wrap, a lodge sandwich (turkey sandwich), and a cheeseburger (I opted out for no cheese). The wait time generally felt long in Portland restaurants, so I'll only write this as a mention. When the dishes arrived, the soups arrived first and then the three dishes around the same time. There was a lot of food to eat, so it might be a lot for those who eat light. I really enjoyed the fries. They were so crispy and delicious! The hamburger was cooked just right for me. I also liked that I got to pick and choose which toppings to add into the hamburger, like the onions, tomatoes, etc. In the three dishes, the lodge sandwich, had the most portions. Sandwiches were combined together with more sandwiches, so there was a layer of bread in between. My relative was able to eat most of it, but they were also able to split the large sandwich into a smaller sandwich to share with the family. The wrap was equally more food but the less than the other two, so the relative who had this one also ate the sandwich that was shared by the other relative.

The burger itself was decent, but the fries where a little bland. The service was slow and not attentive at all, we asked the waiter for straws on 3 different occasions and never received any. The ambience was boring except for the view looking out into the train tracks.

What an adorable restaurant and location. View of the waterfall was stunning. Ambience of the restaurant was soooo cozy and inviting. I loved it! Food was pretty decent . Priced fair. We tried tomato bisque soup and loved it. Had chicken dumpling soup that we happen to dislike it. It tasted very floury. The marionberry pie had decent filling but I wasn't crazy about the crust . Overall it's a good place to sit down, enjoy the view and eat something warm on a cold day . Staff were super friendly. I will be back someday.

Don't judge this restaurant! There is no service or Wi-Fi but I will tell you this place is amazing phenomenal food! we had the pot roast, the salmon bowl and pasta! The soup of the day was chicken gumbo and we enjoyed everything that we had (:. Don't miss out on this waterfall/gem & restaurant

Stopped by at 9:30 am on a Saturday for breakfast. There was a 5-10 minute wait for the table to be set up for a table of 5. The interior was really cozy. We were seated with a view of the falls. We ordered the smoked salmon hash with scrambled eggs instead of over easy, veggie omelet, and the countryside Benedict. The portion sizes were massive and the food was delicious. I thought the smoked salmon would've been more lox style - I couldn't taste that much 'smoked' flavor. Overall, the food was really good. The star of the show was the buttermilk biscuit side. It was so soft and steaming hot. Perfect for a cold day. Note: this review is for breakfast only.

Service was okay. My trout breakfast was overcooked. Fish was super dry. No flavor. But good spot to kill time while waiting for others.

Visited Multnomah Falls for a work trip in late October and we had lunch reservations at the restaurant for a working lunch meeting. We had about 15 people and we sat across 3 tables, they have a couple of areas to sit, by the fire and then another area with a large glass window that you can see the falls from. Service was great and the food was pretty good too. I got the three cheese and roasted garlic sandwich which was a fancy grilled cheese and added a cup of salmon chowder. It wasn't too salmon like but had pieces. A lot of my coworkers got the French onion soup which looked really good, another coworker got the monte cristo sandwich that also looked good too. If you have reservations at the restaurant I think you don't have to purchase a day pass.

We visited the brunch buffet last Sunday and found the offerings to be mostly average. A few things were noticeably bad, like the muffin overcooked on the eggs Benedict and some items not being kept cool (the yogurt, for example). There were some positives, particularly the tender roast beef, but again, overall, this was pretty average.

Food: 5 Customer Service: 4 Ambience: 4 Location/ Parking: 5 Cleanliness: 5 Reservations: NA This restaurant is situated right in front of the world known Multnomah Falls tourist attraction. The decor is a typical mountain lodge design with a mix of luxury, and modernity. This restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating. Most of the tables provided a view of the waterfall itself. The menu offers a variety of American entrees that will appeal to everyone. I had the fish and chips,  and my hubby had their daily hamburger special. Everything we ate was fresh and delicious. The chefs use the best quality ingredients to produce dishes that are simply delightful.  The only issue that we had during our lunch meal, was our waitress was not very attentive. The young lady was professional, friendly, and helpful. But we had to consistently ask her for things, because it appeared that she was waiting on too many tables. Then when we were done eating we had to ask for our check, and even that seemed to take another 5 minutes.  Our overall dining experience was good and I'm sure that we would return for another visit. @glampedlife

We had a great lunch here. Great atmosphere and view. Good food and service. The food is filling. Really fun place.

Great service and food was a hit! Smoked salmon melt was really good. The tomato soup was tasty on a cooler day. Will be back soon!

Just had Sunday brunch here and will definitely go back. The setting can't be beat. Absolutely beautiful view of the falls and a cozy, comfy,rustic historic dining room. The brunch is priced right and the optional $10 bottomless mimosas are tasty. Standard brunch fare with a couple of salmon and seafood options. Ham and beef carving station. It's fairly casual even tho the setting is classic and I wouldn't say it's the best of the best or top the line food but everything was good and servers were friendly. Went with a small group of friends and we all decided we need to add this to our yearly (at least) rotation of dining events. Worth the drive there and very much worth the price.

Nothing pretentious about this place, just good food. The sweet potato fries were the very best ever! Wonderfully crispy without a hint of sogginess and the house made dip had a bit of a kick without becoming the dominant flavor. One order was more than enough for two. The salmon chowder bread bowl was also excellent. More salmon would have been welcome, but the flavor was noteworthy, for sure. The bread that came out to make the bowl was nicely toasted and served on the side with whipped butter. Our server, Jessica, was delightful with excellent timing throughout our lunch.

Everything about this restaurant was amazing! Our server Qiara was so amazing! Everything came out so quickly and the food was phenomenal! With a perfect view? Can't ask for anymore! Except for the sweet potatoes fries, you NEED more!! Soo good! .. and to top it off! The desert was amazing.

I love the lodge look inside. The clear windows above us and you can see the falls from within. Of course you have to wait a bit if you want a good seat. The popular seats tend to fill up quicker. It's a nice place for an event like weddings. We devoured the mushrooms too quickly that I didn't get a photo. The sweet potato fries are one of the best I've had. Overall the food was good.

The sandwiches are great! We loved the marion berry cobbler, just needed to be baked a little longer...the topping was still doughy. Great view of the falls from our outdoor table. The service was great.

We ducked into the diner when it started to rain & enjoyed a delicious lunch. It took longer than we expected but everything was delicious. My chicken was juicy! Especially the hot apple cider. The restaurant was cold so be sure to have an extra jacket if you get caught in the rain.

Brunch after hiking Multnomah Falls was a hit. We decided on dining here prior to our bus ride back to Portland. Food was tasty, good portions and great pricing given this being the only restaurant inside the falls. We even had the opportunity to order our own champagne bottle and enjoy the nice view. Jared our server was great and super attentive. 10/10 would recommend.

Multnomah Falls never disappoints. It doest matter which season you visit, it's always gorgeous. The restaurant offers spectacular views, delicious food at very reasonable prices, great service, and generous portions that can definitely be shared. Parking is limited, however, if you have a reservation at the restaurant, you do get priority parking. The little espresso bar is always enjoyed, also very reasonably priced. The views of the waterfall are fabulous, and the walking trails are easy to navigate.

Lunch was simple but delicious. I had the reuben with fries. It was good. Mom had the grilled cheese with tomato bisque & loved it. The service was great & the view was stunning - inside & out.

4 stars for food 1 star for service- Stephanie was awesome! My party and I arrived about 4pm for a lateee lunch and restaurant was fairly empty with just a couple other tables occupied- probably more busy during lunch time Their Chicken Parmesan sandwich (oops forgot to take pix lol) completely surprised me- chicken was not overly fried (breading was great! vs the typical frozen chicken patties that are used for this item elsewhere)or super messy, and overall, it was delicious! I highly recommend this item if you enjoy Chicken Parmesan sandwiches My other friends enjoyed their burger, along with their sweet potato fries and onion rings Not a bad option if you're needing some grub and want to stay nearby Multnomah Falls!

This historic lodge with the artisan stone, iron and wood detail nestled at the base of Multnomah Falls has a glass wall along the back proving stellar views of the waterfall. it is a lovely place to have a meal after visiting the falls just remember it is all about the ambiance. As with many restaurants where the view is the star, the food takes a back seat. I've never understood this as I would strive to excel at both, to have the food be as exceptional as the view for an unparalleled experience. However, that is not the case. The food is good, basic. If It wasn't for the location and view, you probably wouldn't choose to come back if it was just about the food. But if you are taking friends to see the number one tourist attraction in Oregon, stopping in for a meal after the hike makes it a great half day on your itinerary. You can get burgers & fries, fish & chips, mac & cheese, chowder and salads for lunch. Dinner menu has grilled salmon, rib steak, pork loin, chicken and other substantial offerings. There is even a children's menu. I've never attended, but heard the breakfast and brunch are the best meals. I'd suggest stopping in at the bar for a beer or cocktail after your walk. The bar doesnt have views of the waterfall, but it's a warm and inviting area with a beautiful bar, cozy seats and a fireplace. Definitely walk around the various rooms and admire the history and architecture - even if you aren't planning on having a meal here. On warm days they open the patio which is also a great place to sit and enjoy a drink and food. Enter through the staircase on the lower floor by restrooms. There is a,so an elevator so it's accessible for everyone.

Walked in and sat immediately. We requested a window seat to see the falls. I got to see them but the falls were blocked by others at the table Just an ok seat. We ordered soup due to the cold and rainy weather. It took awhile to receive the soup. Had salmon chowder in a sourdough bowl. We thought the food was nice.

Went here for lunch after visiting the falls. It's a good restaurant for being in a tourist area and conveniently located. We tried the trout and salmon dishes and were happy with everything. Salad was fresh and dressed perfectly. Staff did a good job, everything was nice and what you would expect for a sit down restaurant. Better quality food than I thought it would be.

We finally went back to Sunday Brunch at the lodge since Covid. Still an amazing, warm atmosphere. The food was good, but fairly limited. Choices weren't what we remembered and they didn't have the yummy French toast bake nor made to order eggs, but overall a good family experience.

The Multnomah Falls Lodge Restsurant was a pleasant surprise for us. It is reminiscent of the grand National Park lodges built in the early years of the 20th Century. The food was surprisingly good, if a little pricey. Not unexpected for the quietly tasteful interior in a tourist destination. We had lunch here and enjoyed our meal. DD had the salmon chowder bowl and I had the Alaska salmon filet. The salmon came with wonderfully fresh asparagus and a wild rice pilaf.

My sister is visiting from Boston, so I thought we'd make a day of visiting the falls and give the lodge restaurant a try. Made reservations for 1pm yesterday and set out from west metro towards the gorge. Here's the skinny: Service and Ambiance: 5 stars. Our server was attentive and our lunch came quickly. Gorgeous area for dining. TIP: reserve the sun room so you view the falls while you eat. Food/price: 3. Limited memu. Nothing blew our socks off. The maple bourbon creme brulee came close ....but for the prices, not so much. RECOMMENDATION: Parking is the worst. The parking at the rest area off 84 is close, dont sweat the small stuff, park here. If you think you're hoping to get a spot next to the restaurant to save the walk, think again. People waited for 30 minutes plus and were still waiting as we exited after lunch. The lodge really needs to limit non restaurant parking in that little lot. THEN the place would be a 4 even 5 star recommendation.

Food was taking so long to come out, even though there are only a few tables. 15 minutes for just water. We are hungry and thirsty. Everything is so slow and slow here. Do not recommend!

Much like most people who eat here, we just got done visiting Multnomah Falls for the first time and were super hungry. Realizing we would have to drive to Troutdale or Cascade Locks for more food options, we settled on convenience and dined here. We were seated in a room with wall to wall windows and had a fantastic view of the falls while we dined. Our waitress was very friendly and prompt, but the hostess who sat us wasn't all that friendly. The food was ok. The menu didn't inspire me all that much. My wife went with a salmon pasta dish and liked it. I ordered a simple cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. The fries were great, but the burger was dry and nothing special. All in all, it's an ok place to eat if you're at the falls and don't want to drive out to either town. The prices are what you would expect them to be for being located at a top rated tourist attraction (in other words, overpriced for what you get).

We had the Ribeye and the pork loin. $57. The pork loin was the better of the two as the steak didn't have a lot of flavor. But, even if their food was horrible it would still be a great experience to eat at the falls. We will be back for more to check out some of the other falls in the area and to try some of the other dishes. Maybe it was an off night for the steak because the pork loin really was top notch. P.S. the staff was friendly, courteous and attentive

We had a most enjoyable dinner after a day of hiking and sightseeing. The only true downside to stopping here is the horrific parking situation. Traffic backs up to a near standstill for miles. Other than that the service, ambiance and food were great!

My wife and I arrived well before closing to find an empty hostess station, and there was a busy dining room full of people. One server rushed past us and gave me a dirty look. Then another who was working the dining room finally took a moment to go find us a manager, only for him to tell us "oh sorry we just closed" after we had been standing there for 15 minutes and ignored. My wife and I are trans, and it pretty clearly felt like our business was not wanted, and we were not welcome. All I wanted was a cup of coffee and a dessert. Don't bother if you're lgbt+.

The most unexpected surprise. We wanted to treat ourselves after seeing the views & was planning on only getting a snack however we ended up ordering full entrees. Me & my friends were expecting typical tourist trap food but all the dishes we ordered was great quality & delicious! They had a beautiful dining area that was all windows & you can see the view of falls. It was a chilly day so the SALMON CHOWDER BREAD BOWL really warmed us up. The soap was hearty & comforting. The VISTA HOUSE SALAD & the MUSHROOM RAVIOLI was just as good. I would highly recommend anyone going to Multnomah Falls to stop in & grab a bite. There were a few more dishes I would have loved to try. The portion & price was vey reasonable. Everyone remembers a good meal. We had such a great time at the falls & the experience was memorable. If I ever make it back to Multnomah Falls, will definitely come here to eat again.

Outstanding - we snuck in at the end of the nite on a chilly day n the spiked cocoa and soups and steak were all wonderful :)

Get your passes before you go. Beautiful straight up hike. Can see the base of the falls from a large viewing point or go all the way to the top!

This review is for breakfast. I can't speak to the other meals. Massive menu with lots of unique and creative options. Stunning view and really nice vibes inside. The outdoor patio would be great on a not rainy day. The entry is a little confusing and its hard to find where you need to go to get seated. The hostess the day we went seemed really inconvenienced by us showing up a few minutes after opening. That said, our waitress was great. The prices aren't bad for the location and the servings are massive- can definitely split a meal and they are ok with that which is great. I was torn between the sweet and savory options but ended up going savory. The smoked salmon omelet I got was massive. Their biscuits are good but not great. Overall pretty impressed and would like to go back!

Amazing soups!!! Really great grapefruit mimosas and the Tortellini w Italian Sausage is a must!

Seated at a table where you could watch and hear the falls, so magical. Nice selection of drinks, the cider was very good. The food was good, French dip and Rubin. Glad the children's options included a very nice mixed fruit option with an awesome presentation. A very nice place to get a simple meal in a beautiful location with nice staff!

Food was good, service was great, and atmosphere was amazing. The didn't have what I wanted and my rice was overdone, but it didn't ruin the experience.

Food: 5 Customer Service: 5 Ambience: 5 Location/ Parking: 5 Cleanliness: 5 Reservations: NA We went early in the day, but I'd love to return again for one of their rum cocktails. Loved the waiter, loved the aesthetic of the lodge.

Surprisingly good food for such a touristy location. The hazelnut french toast was really tasty and my husband loved his northwestern smoked salmon hash. The breakfast burrito was fine. I should have tried something else.

For a party of 7, we were offered a wait of 20min or to seat at the bar area which had tables too. I was very happy to see how accommodating they were without reservations, and on a weekend. The menu had a lot of American-type food from wraps, sandwiches, and burgers. All looked tasty including my order. Their location is great; one can take the 5min loop hike or just drive out to see the waterfall and recharge at the lodge.
