The Cascade Dining Room

This beautiful room in a great historic lodge was our best bet for gluten free dining around Mt Hood, but I was very disappointed by what was offered at their lunch buffet. None of the entrees — a beef with Demi glacé sauce, BBQ pork & Mac & cheese — were gluten free, & I just wasn’t wanting the cold lox style salmon. I had the butternut squash soup, which was good, & enjoyed some fruit, sautéed veggies & potatoes, but it just wasn’t fully satisfying.

No GF bread or rolls & none of the desserts were described as GF. It was great to see the lodge again after so many years, but we had to stop in Hood River for a much better meal at Egg River since I was still hungry !

Went here for Lunch on a Sunday. They serve a buffet with all you can eat for $22. Drinks are extra with about $4 for coffee or coco. The food was quite good and the deserts were fantastic. Unfortunately, none of the meats was gluten free due to the gravies. The staff was great, knew the gluten free options well, and brought me the meat without gravy which was fine. I had the pork and they found gluten free mustard which helped. The gluten free desert was the best of them all according to my non gluten free wife.

Yes

Completely outstanding dining experience. The menu online shows gluten-free options and the staff was well informed. When I mentioned my allergy they brought me gluten-free crackers as they were out of gluten-free bread at the time. Definitely recommend the lamb shank!
