I have to start this review by saying that I have never actually written a review of a restaurant before, and that this is in fact, the first time I have felt compelled to do so. Celilo was so overwhelmingly terrific, that here I am, sitting down to tell others about it. First off, you walk into an impeccably designed... more

Was in HR for 1 night and tried this wonderful spot. Great feel to the place, clearly a lot of thought has gone into this place and what it should stand for. Local chic, extremely warm, with a cool vibe. Was surprised by the sophistication of the food. Presentation was stunning. 10 out of 10. Will back again next time... more

I wasn't sure what to expect. I had been through Hood River a few times over the years and had perfectly good, albeit unexciting food. Then I came across Celilo. The server explained their emphasis on local and seasonal ingredients and was very helpful pairing a Willamette Valley wine with my dinner. I had a series of small plates- perfectly... more

I am a New Yorker and I have been to arguably some of the finest restaurants in our country. Celilo is a hidden gem and I can honestly say I had one of the best dining experiences of my life at this restaurant. It was a Saturday night and I had made dinner reservations after the B&B owner highly recommended... more

I went here on October 18, 2009 with a few friends of mine. The moment you walk in the atmosphere is your first cue that this isn't just any fancy place with small portions, but a culinary show case in beautiful Hood River. Next the service was top notch, immeadiately we were greeted by the wonderful wait staff and seated... more

My husband and made a spontaneous trip to Hood River for his birthday weekend. We stumbled on CELILO and had one of the most best meals we have EVER had. Not just delicious food. It was MEMORABLE. The kind of meal you later dream about. Every bite--every texture, color, flavor--sublime. I had to ask my husband several times: Is this... more

We ate here on recommendation of the B&B we stayed at. It is located on the western edge of Oak Street. We were welcomed despite the fact that we did not have reservations and were seated immediately. We were in the main dining area at the back of the restaurant and enjoyed the contemporary interior design and the earth hues... more

The menu is sophisticated. We had dinner there. We thought everything from the house made lavash bread to dessert was delicious. Scallops were perfectly cooked on an onion puree with microgreens. My husband ordered their fresh asparagus soup. I ordered an appetizer of scallops and a dessert - a rustic cherry tart with home made vanilla bean ice cream. Wait... more

made reservations based on recommendation from a fellow guest at the B&B. And we were not disappointed. Service was great, We started out with fresh lavosh which was very flaky and crispy, Tried the sand dabs which was light. The Hangar steak was very tender more
