An amazing dinner and breakfast experience! Although, dinner was kinda crashed by heavy rain that brought outdoor people in and it was LOUD. The service was extremely accommodating though, prompt and friendly. The bartender who served me was on top of it and very respectful, checking in during my meal. The food was beautiful and so delicious!! I had steelhead with artichoke hearts and fennel, followed by a chocolate custard with salted caramel topping. And breakfast was steelhead eggs benedict. SO GOOD!!!

A spur of the moment decision to eat in Grant’s Pass worked out beautifully! We were hungry, and the meals were great: Osso Buco and Steelhead dishes. The lovely setting on the Rogue River is delightful!

We enjoy the atmosphere, food drinks and service. Unfortunately my husband ordered the rib eye med well. It came out as well done. First time ever we have had a bad meal. We did advise our waitress, but did not want to send it back.
