I had the Chicken and Dumplings and they were EXCELLENT. The dumplings were huge and very fluffy. Heidi was our waitress and she was outstanding as well. They didn't have any Madeira left but that

One of my Favorites – This place sits on the side of the road looking down upon the Sandy River in a quiet area. During the summer they open up their big glass windows and the breeze slides right off the cool river right into the restaurant. The service here has always been good, up to the 40 something waiters, down to the young teenagers. We've never had a problem with them that I know of and my family's been coming here for decades. Some of our favorite dishes are the smoked salmon chowder, the breaded clam strips (only on... read more

This Place Sucks – Service Is terrible. Food is nearly tasteless and is way overpriced. Too bad this place has gone to hell.

Great ambiance. Average otherwise. – I was next in line at the bar, but still took 15 minutes to get a draft beer. Bartender just didn't seem to want to work on Saturday. She was apologetic, but not sincere. My chicken livers were good, but lukewarm, as if they'd set under the heat lamp for quite a spell. But hey, I like those green beans. Their signature dish, chicken 'n dumplings was average. Service was rather perfunctory. Surprisingly, the busboy was courteous, quick, and seemed more intent on customer service than did a... read more

DO NOT EXPECT GOOD FOOD! – I have heard about this place for years and always wanted to try it. ICK! It must have changed. The food was terrible! We ordered dumplings with our fried chicken. It came with a big bowl of lukewarm CANNED green beans, a dumpling the size of a softball that was gooey, heavy, sticky and tasteless and chicken that was supposed to be pan fried but had been baked to death. Dry and hard to chew. A truly terrible meal and we arrived at 6 pm! What a dump...do not waste your time or your palate.

GOOOD GAAAD!! – Went to Tad C&D for our 29th anniverary. We had been to Tad's many times before in the past and thought is would be fun to revisit. Well, it's probably been 15 years since we were there and the location and building are all that are the same. Bad service, rude waiters, rude, rude. Food, bad. Ordered fried chicken with fries. Wife ordered Pasta with chicken. Chicken was OK could have got it a KFC better, fries were limp, green beans just tasted bad and out of a can. Pasta was dry, undercooked, and lacked any s... read more

Suggestion: Order the Chicken and Dumplings – Chicken and dumplings are great, cocktails are great but other items on the menu are avg. to below avg.

warming experience – First time I've ever stopped there after being in Portland for over fourty years. It was a thursday eve. and was promptly seated at a window seat on the back section. What a view. Had the deep fried mushrooms appetizer then the sauted shrimp with potatoe. Would have liked a couple more shrimp compared to the perfectly cooked but oversized pile of vegetables. Signature "homestyle" green beans were questionable as to fresh or canned.(soft but flavorfull). The setting was really what justified the tab. Over... read more

TADS This is a great place to find respite from the rigors of the city. A beautiful view of the Sandy river coupled with great food and accommodating staff makes this a super restaurant for everyone.
