The Ixeaxe Grill: The Ixeaxe Grill

The restaurant is located in Government Camp, a short drive from Mount Hood. It may have changed ownership as the name changed between 2006 and 2007. But the food remains the same- standard pub fare with a good selection of beer and wine.

I've sampled quite a bit of the menu during my Mount Hood forays. The burgers and pizza are very good and some of their entrees, particularly the steak and chicken, are pretty good as well. The prices are reasonable and the service is friendly. Definitely a thumbs up all around.

Timberline Lodge dining room: Timberline Lodge dining room

I ate here during a visit to Mount Hood in July, 2001. The food was fantastic and the restaurant was pretty upscale. One of those white tablecloth and candlelight places which felt out of place in a rustic lodge, although its hard to complain about a dining room with a view of the sun setting over Mount Hood. But the dress is casual and the atmosphere pretty relaxed. There was an extensive wine list which is a good part of the reason why I don't remember more details about the food. Service was top notch and friendly as well.

Favorite Dish: According to my journal notes, rock shrimp blended with truffle oil was fantastic, smoked trout in raspberry sauce divine, ditto for tilapia with peanut chili sauce and the chocolate cake was to die for. By then, I'd apparently gone through a couple of glasses of wine and some port to go with dessert, so this review might be slightly skewed.
