Excellent location spoiled by terribly slow service. Our server Joel(?) was quite friendly but didn't seem to grasp how to deliver a cocktail. We waited over ONE HOUR for a drink. Apparently they didn't know the drink, but didn't come to explain this. Once we clarified the cocktail, it was still another 20 minutes. They also struggled with getting the beer and wine order correct. It was not busy. Definitely not recommended! Too many better choices nearby.Happy hour appetizers were $20 and up!

Music was way too loud to have a conversation, even for a cool Friday night vibe.

We have been here a couple times before and liked it, but our visit tonight left a sour taste in our mouths. Our waitress never filled our waters or saw how we were doing, and when I told her I didn't like my drink her only response was to come back again to try something else. I only had one or two sips and it was absolutely horrid, not for my palette at all. No discount for an unhappy customer, and while she offered a new drink, the atmosphere there was so uncomfortable that we wanted to get out ASAP. And it took awhile before we had to ask to get cashed out while we were getting ignored by all the staff. Too overpriced and over hyped.

Only three stars ...Just kinda mad that there was only two of us, and still our bill came with 20% gratuity added with no place to change it, nothing mentioned.THEN signature copy came back with a tip line to add more! How many people would not have noticed and left 40% $110 for two small apps and two drinks takes the fun out of it #imnotevenacheapskate won't be back

I can see myself enjoying more time on this patio! Amazing view and chic vibes thorough out. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive. The cocktail wasn't my favorite it had a little more peppercorn than I think I was expecting and I would like to see more sweet vodka cocktail options. The savory food options left much to be desired if you're vegetarian. Everything had meat in it and the only option without were deviled eggs. Even if not specially a vegetarian or vegan establishment it's important to consider. Was curious to try the macarons, I'll have to come back and try more of the menu.

Automatic 20% added to our drink bill.....had three drinks that added up to $88.00.....that automatic 20% just negated ANY tip. Appetizers were not even offered. Good thing staff is nice.

Vegetarian options are a must!! Why don't you have any? Veggies and dip are easy......if you don't want to do any salads. Nuts are good also and none of this is expensive or too much to ask for.Vegetarian options: You need to have some!!Dietary restrictions: They don't have any vegetarian options!

Stopped in after apps and happy hour at the AC Hotel. This place is posh and the interior design is beautiful. Finally some nice places this side of the river. We sat at the bar on Valentines Day, fairly early in the evening. Great service, attentive and friendly. Both of the cocktails I tried were well done, pretty and delicious. I will definitely be back.
This is probably the nicest bar/lounge we've been to since moving to the PNW. The staff is welcoming, attentive and seemed to work really well together to greet, seat and serve guests. We arrived shortly after 4pm on a gorgeous Sunny Saturday afternoon. We attempted to get a table outside but they were all taken, so we sat inside near the window so we could catch the sunset. Because we had just eaten at Grassa about an hour before (and were totally stuffed) we opted to just get dessert and wine, which turned out to be a total treat. We got the chocolate torte which was so decadent, rich, & creamy with raspberry & pistachio crumble - simply divine. And it paired nice with our glasses of local Pinot noir. Service was excellent and the ambiance is a vibe, especially being right on the water. The decor, colors, lighting and woodwork all contribute to the beautiful aesthetic.

Food good, drinks good, location and vies fantastic, prices are very high. If you can get a table outside overlooking the Columbia river and Oregon, then you really have scored a nice place one of the nicest places in the whole region. But do not expect to get good value in terms of the food for your money, and although the drinks maybe are a little better than other places they're not really special. But it's an amazing place to meet up with somebody sit and talk and sit a glass of wine or have a drink maybe a snack

It's definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. Our server, Mackenzie, and the bartender took really good care of our big walk-in group and made it a good experience.

I have the same exact experience as the review below. came here for happy hour for a work meeting and the menus were extremely different than what is presented on their website, no vegetarian options anymore. the waitress told us that the owners are aware the website hasn't been updated in months but won't do anything??also the decor is so strange, it seems like it's trying to appear high-class but actually looks extremely cheap. it's a bummer because it's a great space, hopefully they get new management and a new design

a group of us came for happy hour last week (after looking up the menus online) only to discover that their website menus are "multiple months old" and they just never cared to update them. we had several vegetarians in the group but they don't offer a single vegetarian option anymore (they for some reason took all of those options off their menus??) so a few people in our group came hungry and ate nothing.. even the happy drink menu is wrong. for the price point, you'd expect better organization. how hard is it to update a website in 2023...
What a hidden gem
