Nice place. Good cocktail list. Some beers on tap. Wine on the list. Burgers are good. Friendly staff. Service is efficient.
Edgefield is both a fun place to go with friends, and to take guests from out of town. They continue to expand the selection of things to do, and places to wander. The McMenamins era began in 1990, beginning with a lovely group of old buildings. In the 30+ years that Edgefield has been operating, the plantings have had a chance to mature, so wandering the grounds now is more of an adventure, with new things hidden around each corner, and many of the smaller outbuildings mostly obscured by flora.
Over the years, I've spent time in the winery, had upscale dinners in the hotel restaurant, attended outdoor concerts, played golf, and, mostly, have visited the pub for either indoor or outdoor dining.
The menu, and the quality of the food haven't changed much over the years. This is good, in terms of predictability, but Portland now has a MUCH larger number of places where you can get a craft beer or craft cocktail, along with truly excellent food. So, Edgefield remains a solid choice as long as your expectations are for decent food and drink in a truly unique environment.
PS: one thing that was a bit of a disappointment was dining outside on the patio during our most recent visit: the host station gave us an accurate estimate of how long we would have to wait for a table, but, once we were seated, our waiter then informed us that there was a new movie playing in the theater inside the pub, and that the kitchen was severely backed up, so our orders would be prioritized behind all the theater customers getting their food from the same kitchen. Information about the kitchen backlog would have been very nice for the host/hostess to have told us up front.
The vibe is pretty cool here. The food, compared to the other McMenamins' restaurants, is okay.
Great theater for grabbing a bit and a beer while you watch a movie. I have been here many times already, enjoyed the pool day use (great deal, just hard to book), restaurants, winery, distillery, bars, but for staying overnight because I live quite close. Staff are usually very friendly, and all things considered it is a great place. I just hope that they include more vegan options in their menu, that would truly bring the experience to the highest level.
We had a free stay. The restaurant was incredible, the soak pool so fun. What a wonderful girls night! LOVE that there was a box fan in the room. It's truly the little things that make McMenamins so so so good.
The seats are super comfy and the theater is nice and cozy! There's also a balcony with seating if you prefer that. The painted ceiling on the inside of the theater and the decorations really make it have that McMenamins vibe. I would recommend bringing your own snacks unless you're ready to shell out a lot of cash for the food they serve. I got cajun tots and they weren't bad but definetly not the best tots I've had from McMenamins. Good Theater to go to every once in a while since it's so far out but still pretty cool!
