Service was decent, nothing special, to be honest. Just a quick exchange of words, lol. Food took a little longer than expected. I ordered the fish n chips. ( One of their specialties ) for 23$. I was hoping for more than 2 pieces of fish. Tried the French 🍟... they were really soft. My guess is they use the frozen ones. The sabertooth hot wings were, however, absolutely perfect, was a good-sized portion. Once food came, we never saw the server again. Didn't come back to check our drinks or ask if the food was okay. ( it wasn't busy ) I was honestly going to leave a 3 star review, but the bar tender Jamie A. Was honestly awesome. Super knowledgeable, good conversation, and man watching her pour drinks!!! She's awesome for real! Needless to say, the tip I would give left my server went to her. ( easily deserved ) Oh, and the Mocha Milkshake is 12$, but it's worth every penny! Probably wouldn't return for food. Doubt I would recommend this place to anyone.

The atmosphere was really nice, seated next to a wood fire. The service was the slowest service I've experienced, though. We ordered the pot of crab fondue as well as the steak bites, thinking that the two appetitizers would be enough to fill two people. The "pot" of crab fondue was actually the size of a small side of soup, and there were only 3 pieces of steak in the steak bites appetizer. Both appetitizers were over $20 a piece so we left feeling hungry and disappointed. The crab fondue was very salty and left a bad after taste in my mouth. Nothing tasted like it was worth the steep prices here. All of our food arrived luke-warm and we paid over $5 for one non-alcoholic beverage.

The grounds are beautiful, parking is plenty and the restaurant is stunning with rich history and having a working pellet burning stove inside makes it cozy. BUT… I had much higher expectations coming here. The host (tall younger Girl) was cold slightly abrasive. Service is very very slow, waitress was pleasant but did not come back for refills or anything. For waiting so long I was very surprised the food was no longer hot. Food was not cold but luke-warm and. It enjoyable to eat but as long as it took to get our food we elected not to send back. I wish I could say the taste and quality of the food made the wait worth it but it was not! The food seemed mediocre with temp and taste. Unless Management gave us a reason to try again I don’t see us going back. I cannot recommend this place to eat.

Food was great. The only problem was that my husband got the stew and it was barely warm. The carrots were actually cold. They did bring a replacement bowl and it was nice and hot. Our server was very nice and helpful with suggestions. I got the salmon with bacon jam. It was very good.

She had the special menu item Hei hei pizza.... had a grand total of 5 pieces of chicken, the rest of the pizza was a salt lick. And I had the beef dip sandwich with fries. Looked great till you put one in your mouth and they were hard, as in crunchy hard. I brought these points up to the server and the reply was "you are not wrong, this is a common complaint" then walked away..... no attempt to fix the problem. The sandwich was good. Don't think I'm coming back any time soon.

It was so delicious 😋 I recommend this place!They are quite busy so you may have to wait quite a while for your order. But it's worth it! They have their own craft beer which is very tasty.

Typical McMenamins food and service. The food is okay, and staff is always understaffed. The passport program is what brings us back. We did not have to wait for a table, which was nice. We love the grounds here, but we wish they had games like some of the others.

Imbrie Hall is a classic McMenamins pub. Of course they have great beer, atmosphere and Cajun tator tots :-). This is one of our favorite places to hang - with family, friends or coworkers. It has a great professional feeling as well as being out in a treed area so outdoor seating is plentiful and beautiful.
