Riverview Restaurant & Gardens

Riverview Restaurant sits on a five-acre riverfront property in Troutdale, just east of Portland, with views of the Sandy River. The land's history stretches back to the early 1900s, when it served as the Portland Automobile Club's clubhouse and later as "Viking Park," a gathering spot for a Swedish social club whose café once rented cabins to travelers along the river. In 1991, Junki and Linda Yoshida acquired the adjoining fifteen acres, including the original 1912 clubhouse, and built the restaurant to take full advantage of the site's natural setting. The building incorporates milled timber from trees cleared on the property, and its dining rooms display original artwork from the Yoshida family's private collection alongside large windows framing the river. Beyond the restaurant, the grounds include a gazebo and manicured lawns designed for weddings, receptions, and entertaining. Riverview Restaurant hosts weddings, business dinners, corporate holiday parties, graduations, and anniversaries, with seating for up to 250 guests across its spaces, and its kitchen prepares dishes using Northwest ingredients for both dining service and private events.
