Ryan: "Please watch your balance, the cabin will swing as we pass the tower"
Annie Chiu: Make sure to look at the top of the cabin when you're riding from OHSU back down - there's a map of the mountains.
David: Awesome view! It was a little out of my way, but I'm glad I made the trip. It can get a little bouncy, but that's all part of the fun.

Men's Health Mag: The log cabin interior of this hangout in Portland gets all the press, but don't ignore the outdoor patio—particularly the fireplace area. It's one of the friendlier places on earth for a microbrew.
Eric Longstaff: Cozy place to see a show or drink. Masculine outdoorsy log cabin like environment. Wear a red & black checkered shirt with a black skull cap to round out the whole lumberjack look.
Ron Levi: Breakfast served until 3pm. Coffee is great! The food is house made; yogurt, hollandaise, mayo, etc...

CRUZiiiE: I had the best experience here-- very informative waiters, fresh sushi & a variety of options. Can't wait to come back. (The "green machine" roll is great)
Yas Ab: I only had rolls here but they were all too wide to eat with chopsticks except Green Machine which happened to be the best roll there. The salmon cream cheese was delightful also.
Jared: Get a Green Machine and add albacore!

Shrub: Order off the happy hour appetizer menu, make it a tapas evening. In summer it's great to sit out on the patio. Good service, good food.
Chefs Feed: Kir Jensen, chef of The Sugar Cube, eats here on her nights off. She loves the Hamachi collar. Read more.
Andy McMillan: Everything here tastes like sucking on an old dish towel. Sure there’s flavour, but it’s the flavour of sucking on an old dish towel.

Brian Keene: 125+ Beers on tap, and great drinks if you're not interested in beer! Nice atmosphere, great wait staff!
Janice Pimentel: Happy Hour is Mon-Thursday from 3-6pm. For the NFL 2014-15 season (I believe until February), Monday nights are all night happy hour! Share the huge chicken nachos for $6 with friends during HH!
Courtney Blackler: Amazing HH! Cheap food and booze, it all tastes great.
