   We LOVE the McMenamins venues! The way they incorporate the local history and culture into all aspects of their design, the structure and the art is brilliant! And it is all just so fun to experience. We took family visiting over the holidays here for a fun adventure and the venue was over the top fun! It was not very busy at 9:30 am on Saturday, but still the breakfast in the main restaurant was just ok (undercooked eggs, orders messed up, hot food cold, public health inspection signs informed public of just okay inspection ratings which is quite low on their scale). The service was extremely slow. I wish I loved everything about McMenamins but my value rating is low given the food and service was fair to poor while prices are quite high.

   The front person wouldn’t seat us 5 mins early even though the restaurant looked pretty empty. People that didn’t have a reservation were seated before us. There was no Bloody Mary’s available and it’s Saturday morning which I would think would be a busy breakfast day. Coffee was so watered down that it was not drinkable and we ordered other drinks to supplement. And the food took very long to come out. We usually love to eat here but this day was very disappointing.

   Thanks to the team who worked on Christmas to serve us wayfaring strangers. The fish & chips were great (thanks for the extra tartar sauce!), my mother loved her cod with the white rabbit sauce, and we both really enjoyed our ginger-basil-lime spritzers.

   We love going to McMenamins Elks Temple for Christmas, which is good because few places are open. Best to order simple dishes. The curried vegetable bowl was groupie. But the roasted chicken I ordered added was perfect. My husband was happy with the cod. The apple walnut cake was rich & nutty.

   I have been here a few times and this time I decided to try the pub again and old hangout since it was Xmas day and it wouldnt be so busy. I had blackened salmon salad that morning in the pub and the fish was a bit too salty. Ordering extra Caesar dressing helped but still too salty. Later went down to Old Hangout and ordered the Tokyo Tots and pork belly was dry and flavorless and tots tasted like they were fried in old oil. Overall I enjoy the vibe and space and the drinks are great at all bars, however majority of the food (that’s not bar food aka burgers, sandwiches, & wings) isn’t really good/flavors do not compliment one another. I recommend not eating here but enjoy the drinks and atmosphere!
