Fodor's Review:

If the wall of windows isn't coated with snow, you may get a good look at some of the neighboring peaks. Vaulted wooden beams and a wood-plank floor, handcrafted furniture, hand-woven drapes, and a lion-size stone fireplace set the scene. Executive Chef Leif Benson has been going strong since 1979, incorporating Mt. Hood-grown morels in his "campfire spice" wild salmon, pistachios in his basmati rice, and truffles with his pheasant. A four-course tasting menu (including the house favorite, crème brûlée) is always a delightful option. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner; look for the clever mix of lobster with macaroni and cheese at the noon hour. Sunday brunch buffet, an all-you-can-eat affair, is almost as big as the fireplace.
