McMenamins Old Church & Pub

I've had mixed experiences at the various McMenamins, but I was really impressed with this one.

It's a very large restaurant with 2 levels.  We were seated promptly upstairs on a Saturday night.  They seemed to be training servers, so we had a variety of people waiting on our table.  Everyone was friendly and efficient.

The menu was varied.  The burger/tots and Cuban sandwich were deemed very good.  I had a coconut curry bowl.  It was very tasty.  However, it only comes standard with veggies and they need to work on the quality of their vegetables.  I asked for them to add broccoli, which they did.  But the rest was mostly onions, celery, and squash.  If I didn't ask for the broccoli, I would have been disappointed.  It does have avacado, so that helps round things out.

I would definitely return to this location and try other things on the menu.

Both the food and beer are good but not great. You know what you're getting. The great thing about this location is the outdoor area. Great for summer concerts or late evenings. Lots of seating and good service.

Is it just me, or do you find the McMenamins that are not in Portland better?  This one is pretty cool, situated around an old church in Wilsonville.  They have a nice sunken patio area where they do events during the summer and the restaurant is a good size with an attractive bar area and a good party room in the back for groups.  I look forward to spending more time here this summer!
