Fodor's Expert Review Cedars at Pier One

A perch right on the edge of the Columbia River provides beautiful views and a 200-foot dock for boaters coming to dine; a deck is open seasonally and is popular as an after-work gathering place in summer. The menu includes top-quality steaks, pasta, poultry, and shellfish, as well as several kinds of fresh fish, including salmon, halibut, swordfish, and ahi tuna. The fish are available with a choice of sauces and the option to be prepared blackened in Cajun spices in a cast-iron skillet. An extensive wine list features many local labels. Save room for the house-made mud pie.
