Simon's Cliff House

"Not much of a review person but had to set the record straight on the nonsense 3.7 rating I'm seeing. Food was straight up great. Had the andouille mushroom ravioli and my wife had the seafood pasta. Both plates were delicious and what you'd be expecting from a high end restaurant. Also ordered the kafta(?) Which is some pita bread hamburger type Turkish dish which tasted like kinda like tacos and was amazing. Stayed here on a holiday getaway special and also got a free bottle of wine with our 2 entree dinner which turned out to be a $70 bottle of wine which was an awesome surprise. Also the hotel is really old, classy, and unique. Worth the visit alone even if you're not staying here. just checkout the pic from our room."

"Atmosphere was nice. Clean and tidy. Generally geared towards an older crowd. The non alcoholic cocktails were very good. The food was very bad. I ordered the sirloin steak with mushroom sauce and it arrived smelling extremely unusual. The sauce appeared to be very cheap and possibly canned. The steak was difficult to cut and appeared old. We ordered it at medium rare but it tasted and smelled rubbery and appeared it had been frozen and defrosted several times. I asked to return the steak. My wife ordered the burger and the burger was 3/10 at best. The burger had a gamy-ness that was not what I assumed to be from fresh beef. Bread was doughy and stale. Vegetables had no flavor. Server was apologetic and understanding but staff appeared under staffed. Overall I would have preferred in n out. Sadly."

"We were very disappointed with our brunch. The menu was all salamon or tuna dishes leaving either an Indian taco or steak and eggs. My husband got the steak and eggs which was covered with a thick sauce which was not mentioned on the menu. My eggs Benedict was ok. Eggs over done and hardly any hollandaise sauce. I had to ask for more. Potatoes were undercooked. The cheese, fruit and pastry tray was nice but the dessert tray was disappointing."

"Drinks and appetizers on the patio outside the bar was a perfect experience and reprieve. I highly recommend stopping by, relaxing and walking the magnificent grounds. A treasure on the Columbia Gorge, anytime of year."

"Simon's is such a classic venue for a special dinner, with food, views and atmosphere to cherish. The staff are very attentive and seem genuinely interested in ensuring a memorable time."
