We knew this place was very dated so went with lower expectations, mostly for the view. There aren't many places in The Dalles to eat where you can see the river and over to the hills on the Washington side. It was a hot sunny day so the blinds were halfway down, blocking most of the pretty view. We tried to sit in a booth next to the long bay of windows but it was way too hot to sit there because the place is not air conditioned! Our waitress was very sweet and apologetic, but seemed red faced and miserably hot herself. She said the kitchen was awful. The ceiling fans are apparently just there to taunt it's sweating patrons, they don't actually work. We changed tables but it was still 82 degrees or more. The food: Awesome! They have an extensive cajun menu with lots of seafood and tempting dishes I've never tried before. I had a cup of chicken and sausage gumbo with a chicken Caesar salad, comes with a roll and butter. Very good! My husband had a good sized 10 oz steak with plank fries and green beans, covered with Bearnaise sauce and shrimp, it was very good, done just right. The Caesar was a little different because they use leaf lettuce instead of romaine, but it was okay, not as crunchy. I was happy though because it didn't come from a bag of pre-soaked salad mix that includes all the cores, it appeared to be hand sliced from fresh green leaves. Servings are pretty generous. There are some very old structures outside, and the waitress explained some historical facts about the area, she was very sweet and friendly and made the whole experience great, aside from the good food. Overlooking how freaking hot we were and couldn't wait to get out of there, everything else was good. The hotel management is seriously remiss in neglecting this restaurant and needs to ante up for some functional AC and update the decor, it's a little like a time capsule of the 80's in there. (NOT in a nostalgic way) The chef and restaurant staff can't help that part and make up for it. The bar is next to the restaurant separated by one thin wall, so if you sit on that side you'll hear the loud cheesy country music and a lot of noise and wall banging from chairs? When the weather is no longer hot I will be back for the view and to try some Cajun dishes like etouffee, jambalaya, and beignets. There is a back patio with flower pots that would be a nice place to catch the breeze on a warm day. Note: This is a Shilo Inn so prices are spendy.

The food is much better than the restaurant looks! The Server, Bobbie Joanna, made the experience very enjoyable. They really need a decor update!

This rating is for the Cajun food at this deceiving outdated restaurant in the Shiloh Inn. Judging by the decor, I was expecting nothing much better than diner food, but we were very pleasantly surprised. We had the blackened catfish, gumbo, catfish beignets, and red beans and rice. All were perfectly seasoned and well cooked. Apparently they ship in the harder-to-find ingredients from New Orleans. The waitress was very nice and helpful, and gave us a free cup of soup for a very minor mix up in the order. They also have some good craft beers, but not much of a wine list. Please come and try this Cajun food! You won't regret it.

Expensive and the food was not great. Service is very slow and the decor needs updating. We especially enjoyed the ant trap in the window next to our table. Should have hit McDonald's instead.

T E R R I B L E. - bad food, worse service. The only two good things are 1) nice view 2) you don't have to drive anywhere if you're staying at the Shilo Inn. The breakfast vouchers were free but I tell you, I would rather eat at the Drive In across the street than ever subject myself to a breakfast here again. The staff did not even apologize for the pathetic service. We have breakfast vouchers for tomorrow but guess what? They are going in the trash.

Server did not know the menu.. Service slow...we were the only ones in the restaurant. Now we know why. Food was yuck. Place was dingy, dirty, and needs a major upgrade

Ah, the Portage Grill. I remember you when you were the Portage Inn some 20 years ago. The bar is still the same the bartender said that the carved wood in the bar dated back to the 1800's. I didn't know that but I knew it had been there as long as I could remember. This small restaurant and bar is just off of the front desk of the Shilo Inn and while the saloon had decidedly dated carpeting and decor the food was quite good and very welcome after about 5 hours on the road returning from a Boise trip. Definitely an A-OK stop and I wouldn't hesitate to return again.

I will admit that I was nervous walking into this place. Maybe it was the sewage smell. Or the early 80's country club decor. But the waitress was so friendly, and the food was great. I had a French dip and it was excellent. Bonus points for the steak fries. Hubby had salmon and in his typical laconic manner, he described it as "very pleasing". Kiddo's clam chowder was good too. All in all, a good meal. Just please do something about the sewage smell!

This place has excellent food and their service is top notch. It's not cheap, but you get a lot of food for your money (I ordered crawfish étouffée and had leftovers for two days) and the food is outstanding. Most of the tables have a nice view of the river and the atmosphere is cool and relaxing. We stopped in The Dalles for a dinner break on the long Boise-Portland drive, and it was just what the doctor ordered. I left full, happy, and recharged for the rest of the drive.

Excellent Cajun in Oregon! This is attached to the Shilo Inn and we ate here while at hotel. We were shocked how good it was. You dont associate Oregon with cajun but the owner is a Big Easy transplant. Great spicing, huge portions, decent prices ($15-20). My boss had what he said was the best catfish he had eaten. I had Cajun chicken breasts in an egg batter with nice sauce ( more creole). Another had excellent jambalaya. Their ettouffe was perfect. The kid's ordered spagetti that had orange-sized meatballs. We'd eat here regularly if we were within 100 miles of it. We were expecting a formula, by the numbers, gimicky restaurant and found the real deal!

Best thing about this is the view and Maryhill wine. Kid menu is lacking: hot dogs and hamburgers. Come on. Kids eat better than that. We had smoked salmon cakes with crab- please say "crab" it was imitation not real crab. Imitation is nasty! Ya i should have known better. Crawfish Beignets were heavy on the pepper nothing like down South. The pork loin was so tough you couldn't cut it with a knife. The hush puppies, well this is eastern Oregon not louisiana. Hey you never know til you try- right? $100 for appetizers one meal and a kids meal- Thank god for wine! And the popcorn we brought from home to eat in our room saved us! Won't stop again. Although the waitress was accommodating, too bad the kitchen doesn't deliver.
