Marti "Blondes Have More Yelps" B.'s Profile
Date
We went to visit our friends who moved to Astoria recently, and they could not wait to take us to their favorite new restaurant -- Clemente's. They insisted this would be some of the best casual fine dining we have ever tasted, served in a coastal urban Northwest atmosphere. They were right. The grilled salmon was fresh, moist and delicious --served with these crispy, soft sweet potato fries. The fries were accompanied by this amazing dipping sauce - we asked for more. In fact, they could have asked us if we wanted more fries for our dipping sauce. The decor was simple yet innovative...since it was Friday, we were able to enjoy a live piano bar in the background, enhancing the night. They have a full bar and reasonable priced well though out wine list. Next time, I am trying one of their famous martinis served in a huge, iced stainless steel martini glass! The prices were amazingly affordable for such a true fresh, Northwest coastal dining experience.

Real authentic BBQ with a wide array of sauces to try on your meats. You can mix and match your meats and your sides - we tried the juicy ribs and chicken with melt-in-your-mouth sweet potatoes and slaw...delicious. Plus, the 6 of us ate well for under $80.00 (including drinks and beer) and the food was served right up - a delicious, affordable meal. and, if you're in the mood for a unique bourbon with your meal.

Had some of the best melt-in-your-mouth prime rib tonight (rare and wow), delicious and juicy. It was a perfect evening at Kayos on a chilly night; the fireplace was on and so was the amazing service! We enjoyed a fresh, spicy ahi tuna appetizer, followed by a lobster bisque soup and salad with fresh blue cheese crumbles before my entree.....Just when I thought I could not enjoy another bite, the luscious creme brulee lured me back in, topped with raspberries and whipped cream. My Absolut citron martini was perfectly shaken, too. Plus, the entree cost included the soup and salad so our bill was a pleasant surprise........what a wonderful, traditional dining experience in a warm, friendly atmosphere. Kayo knows his food and it is just a fun place to have dinner with friends and family!

Hi - this is my brunette alter ego yelping for Kayos. Kayo's is a central Oregon tradition that has come back to Bend to bring back quality, fresh American food at a reasonable price. Our group here agrees the fresh Hawaiin Ono topped with Dungeness crab with sweet chili basil sauce is the best ever. I prefer the perfectly cooked steak with classic comforting, rich, mashed potatoes....The service here is helpful and fun - you actually appreciate when they ask "and how is everything.?" And, the best, strongest margarita I have had since Mexico.....hear that Jimmy Buffet?
This is truly a dinner house because Kayo Oakley is in the house...
Located in the perfect spot for a restaurant, Terminus is the place to dine with a view. The decor is much updated and made contemporary since it was Michael's Landing. the food is classic, upscale American comfort food as I call it, with an exotic influence of flavors. My ribeye steak was melt in your mouth quality and preceded by a luscious pear salad - the food is fresh and flavorful.The portions were generous and the prices affordable in a nice environment....plus, they have a full bar and make a great vodka martini.
The feel of a European Bier Cafe right here in Corvallis with an amazing selection of beers. Eight of us attended the soft opening before this great place opens next week to the public. The Caves IPA was rich and flavorful, and we were all impressed by the amazing selection of bottled beers from around the world displayed in a glass case...The food was "Garstropub" style and locally grown. We enjoyed a crisp, perfectly garlic seasoned Caesar salad, a fresh fruit cheese and bread plate, a juicy melt in your mouth flat iron steak, flavorful crepes, and a meaty burger for the classic eater. The design looks like a German bier house, contemporary and sleek. We were so impressed the beer was served in the appropriate "tasting" glasses....we'll be back again.

A fun sports bar for families --you will find good food and large portions at an affordable price..not easy to find in Disneyland. I had the bacon cheeseburger (only$14) which was juicy and cooked to perfection. My friend had the fresh chicken wrap..enough to serve Dumbo. Great kids menus. Plus, 30 plus large screen tv's with every game and full bar menu for parents who have spent days with kids...great desserts and espn store.

OMG - one of the best steaks I have ever had.....a New York strip steak ordered rare, and when it arrived it was still "hot" and seared to perfection. If you are looking for a great steak, this is the place to go. My friend had the Rib eye, cooked perfectly and drizzled in butter to melt in your mouth. The mashed potatoes were creamy and delicious and the veggies fresh. My martini was shaken personally by the owner - perfect. Our companions both enjoyed the grilled salmon, which was moist and flavorful. The service was great and we look forward to returning soon!

I am so grateful this great pub with a full bar opens as early as 4:00 pm for beer/cocktail casual biz meetings! Libations are amazingy priced starting at $5.00 and the bar menu is delicious. I had the most ama zing vodka cocktail, infused with pomegranate and cranberry - it was almost too good for you with all that fresh fruit. The interior is updated, warm, inviting yet casual. love the wood tables, too.
While staying at the Ameritel, we discovered this local favorite steak and seafood restaurant. Our server Emily was friendly and attentive. Our food was what we expected, traditional and classic...think dark wood and McCormick& Schmidt's..I had the iceberg lettuce salad drenched in blue cheese a la Madmen while my husband enjoyed the perfectly grilled salmon. The manager Rod even personally made our daughter's pizza. Oh and they serve cocktails, too. Best of all, our family dinner bill for four was only$ 62. Wonderful place...
A San Francisco born yelper living in Oregon, I finally made it to the famous Boulevard. Although the food is good, this place really is about the atmosphere and historic decor. The service is wonderful as you have time to enjoy your entire dinner and never feel rushed so that another group can have your table; at least five different staff persons attended to our need - my martini glass was never empty. I recommend the delicious, meat dishes (with marinades and sauces) as an entree as the seafood portions are miniscule. The chocolate mint chip ice cream dessert is delicious paired with their amazing coffee. Boulevard is a true SF dining experience everyone must have at least once.
