My wife just had to eat here after seeing them on Restaurant Impossible. Sorry, but neither of us was impressed. The only good thing about the visit was seeing the work that the people did on the interior of the restaurant which would have been nice if it would have been clean. We were actually seated ant a table with... More

Wife had the Cobb which was large but average. Location. Was wonderful and decor was nice modern open remodel. I would eat there again after I... More

We came from Eugene to eat at the Windseeker. What a disappointment. We saw it on Resturant impossible and hoped for a good experience. Saturday lunch there was only. One waitress, no hostess. The menu was not what was on the website. Halibut fish and chips okay, but not seasoned and WAY to expensive!! I hope the kitchen was cleaner... More

My husband and I both work in The Dalles. We love Robert Irvine and are a big fan of his show. We consider ourselves "Foodies". We had never been to the Windseeker, but thought we would give it a try after the remodel. We were so disappointed. This was the first time I have ever sent back food. The decor... More

So there's not much in The Dalles, so we thought the cute riverside restaurant would be a real find. I've read the other reviews and there has been some redo since I was there, but if the same people are there, it's not going to make much difference. They know how to write a good menu, but the food was... More

Good food....manager had a real attitude when I asked her about Restaurant Impossible's remodel....I saw Garbage strewn in side-yard, cardboard outside service entry door....totally broken down boats---too far gone to be part of landscaping. Dirty fingerprints on candle 'chimney' and cobwebs in window by our table. ugh

My mom, had read about how the Windseeker had been revamped by Chef Ramsey. So for her birthday we should go, she was so excited. We had been there before so It would be fun to see what had changed. It was beautiful, when we walked in, nice changes to the decor . But from there it was all down... More

Saw this Resturant on Resturant Impossible & stopped to give it a try as we were driving through The Dalles. It was a very clean, up to date atmosphere. Once we found it, we were very glad that we went there.

My husband and I drove three hours to checkout the Windseeker after watching the makover they recived on TV. The makeover has already come undone by neglect and lack of cleaning. Fallen tiles from the fireplace have been left where they fell, trimwork is already torn up and not replaced. Filth is everywhere, at our table, the candle holder was... More
