Visiting hood river this weekend, 2/20-2/21?

2/20/2021

Hood River is in the high risk category. That means places that are open indoors can only be at 25% of their normal capacity.

Here are a few things to know:

Well known places like Solstice and Double Mountain often have long waits. Other lesser known places may not. So either plan ahead and head somewhere near for a drink while you wait for a table or head somewhere lesser known like Fox Tail, Crush, Andrew's, or El Puerto de Angelas.
You may get stuck eating outdoors, so pack blankets, rain coats, mittens, and everything else warm! Some places offering indoor dining also have tons of outdoor tables. Some places are still outdoor dining only.
Are you gluten-free, vegan, or dairy-free? We have options! One of the most special diet-friendly places in town is Riverside. Find gluten, dairy-free, and vegan sandwiches at River Daze and pizzas at Pelinti, Andrew's, and Solstice. Tons of places carry vegan burgers, like Ferment, Riverside, and 6th Street Bistro.
If you're in the mood for Solstice and you can't get in at the river and the wait for a pizza is long -- look up the Solstice Mobile Pizza truck.
