A treat of an experience in Hood River. Excellent food and execution in a very welcoming vibe.

Unfussy fine dining experience in an unassuming downtown Hood River storefront. Food is skillfully and artfully prepared, with immaculate plating and effortless, relaxed service. The tasting menu was uniformly excellent, with a nettle soup and lamb entree that were particularly outstanding. Playlist included nineteenth century strings, 80s new wave, and “Ghost Riders in the Sky”. Nearly perfect in every way. Highly recommended.

My husband and I enjoyed the spring tasting menu on a Saturday night- not a single course fell flat. I really appreciated the local ingredients and seafood forward flavors. The nettle soup was my personal favorite, but the bread course deserves mentioning as well. Nathan, the owner, was kind and generous with his knowledge. I appreciated the non alcoholic beverage options and found some new favorites. We felt right at home which is often hard to achieve with fine dining. I’m already looking forward to the next time we can make the trip to Hood River.

Amazing on every level. The food and wine pairing menu was magnificent. Such attention to fine service, with attention to the food and where it’s from, “quill eggs from the owners garden and persimmons from parents garden”. The wine pairings were the ultimate in taste to the food. We enjoyed it so much. What a wonderful place to be and happiness all around. Vibrant and special for sure.

The best Dinner we have ever had Hood River by far, hard to explain the delicious array of flavors. Local ingredients, everything cooked perfectly, thanks Nathan and Sarah!

✨️An Unforgettable Fine Dining Experience! My husband and I were visiting Hood River to celebrate my birthday and we had the pleasure of dining at Votum. The experience end to end exceeded all expectations. Co-owner Nathan took us in, super friendly and welcoming, the decor and ambience is so elegant, giving the Michlin level fine dining vibes. The service was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive, it made us feel genuinely welcome. Nathan was incredibly knowledgeable and helped guide us through the menu and explained each course. The food was absolutely phenomenal. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Most ingredients are sourced locally, you can really taste the freshness. The head chef/co-owner Sarah definitely puts passion and artistry into every plate. Our favorites were the mushroom risotto, amberjack crudo and the lamb. Absolutely perfect 👌 After we paid, the team handed us a printed menu of each course we had along with a very personalized message. With the set menu, you will be given sweets to take home (just like at a Michlin Star restaurant). Honestly, it was one of the best fine dining experiences I have ever had, I cannot wait to come back again!

Votum is a seafood-forward fine dining experience located in Hood River’s historic downtown. It is small outfit with Chef Sarah and Maître D-come-Server Nathan manning the service. The food was immaculately presented and super fresh. Ingredients are locally sourced and reflective of the changing seasons. My personal highlights were the Marinated Quail Egg, the Smoked Salmon Panisse, the Spring Garden with Salmon Roe, the hyper seasonal Nettle Soup, and the Huckleberry Entrements. This was a great little find for a fine dining experience in Hood River and I would definitely go back next time I am in town.

We came here for my husbands birthday and did the tasting menu – it was absolutely exquisite! The food is yummy, the owners are lovely and the vibe of the restaurant is great. And there’s some good options for non alcoholic drinks. We will be back! Thanks for making this such an experience.
