Picture this: a gorgeous sunny day, a comfy deck with a sweeping view of the Columbia River that allows a cooling breeze anywhere from teasing to capable of whipping up (small) whitecaps on the water. Now imagine a happy hour that runs from 11 am to 6 pm with prices on well drinks (including a very nice margarita) for $3.75 and domestic beer for $2.75.
On top of that throw in snacks including a bulging fish taco overflowing with honey batter-crusted halibut showered with cabbage and fresh tomato (with a side of chips and salsa) for $4.75, or maybe a half nacho or a shrimp cocktail for about the same price. It's a great, casual place to take in the river view with out-of-towners or friends, and there's a big awning over part of it for the sun-wary.
What's wrong with this picture? Only the fact that I'm not there right now. Which I will remedy in the very near future, and so should you.
Details: The Deck, 2915 NE Marine Dr. in McCuddy's Marina at the intersection of NE 33rd Dr. and Marine Dr. 503-283-6444.

Husband and I want to be there - floating on the river eating fish tacos and drinking something icy. Nadine
