Where Not to Eat
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 8/26/10
To the Management of Timberline Lodge:
We had visitors from California, took them on a round-about tour; Vista House, Multnomah Falls, Bonneville Dam, saving Timberline for the last - thinking it would be the best. Wow! How wrong we were! We did everything first, ending up at the Lodge for a late lunch. What a tremendous disappointment! We all agreed it was about the worst we had ever had - including the service. It was a very, very peculiar buffet lunch with very strange combinations of food. Our friends said, upon leaving, 'well, this is certainly one lunch we will never forget!' Unfortunately, that will be because it was so bad. We never even asked what the cost was because we just wanted to eat. When the bill came we said, my goodness, at $2.95 this would have been way over priced. I had so looked forward to showing them one of our premier spots - and ended up with a dismal failure. Your restaurant menu, staff and cooks need so much help. I do hope you will be able to give it to them. We hated to leave a tip but felt sorry for the young adults working there who had had so little training! It was truly a fiasco, first class! I'm sending this in the spirit of helping you to re-establish a delightful destination in the Portland area.
Sincerely yours,
Judy Blumenthal
