Our โ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฉ๐๐ฆ๐ง ๐ง๐ข ๐๐ข๐๐๐๐๐ฌโ menu follows the abundance of the Northwest harvest through the farms, orchards and vineyards of the Columbia River Gorge - into the smokehouse and root cellar - all the way to the holiday table.
Fall gives us a lot to work with, but not for long. We cook with the season at its peak, preserving some of it for the colder months and carrying its flavors forward into the traditions of remembrance, gratitude and generosity that bring us together at yearโs end.
Apples and pears, grapes, Winter squash, chiles, wild mushrooms, hazelnuts, roots and chicories fill the menu. Weโre smoking, braising, fermenting and pickling, drawing from the holiday traditions of ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฆ๐ผ๐๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ป ๐ ๐ฒ๐

October brings back ๐๐๐ฌ๐ข๐๐๐ช๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ฃ๐๐ ๐ ๐ข๐ก๐ง๐, our annual month-long menu collaboration with
@kiyokawafamilyorchards. A celebration of Oregon apple season, Japanese American resilience in the Hood River Valley, and the fall pilgrimage to pick apples along the Hood River Fruit Loop.
The menu is stacked with creative comfort foods: smoked meat sandwiches, rotating grilled cheese and soup specials, cereal milk and pumpkin pie soft serve, hojicha-banana pudding, plenty of apple nostalgia, fresh-baked cookies, hot spiced cider, Columbia Gorge wines, and brand-new specials hitting the board as we cook our way toward the new year.
