This is a must stop when visiting Camp Sherman area. Great sandwiches and small groceries along with souvenirs. Locations along the river is a great photo stop.

Kokanee Cafe is a bit out of the way, but so worth the trip. The food is excellent. Plan to spend the better part of an afternoon and visit the area. Camp Sherman is a cute, small town. With the Metolius river running through it, it offers the visitor a lot to see and do. Vist the Head of the... More

We dined here on a Sunday night and the place was packed with locals and travellers who know quality food! We ended up eating at the bar and the food was FANTASTIC! My husband had the lamb shank, my sister had the steak, and I had the wild boar pasta. All were delicious and the service was perfect. A really... More

The Kokanee is a wonderful little gem that is perfect for a casual meal with friends to a romantic excursion. The menu is always interesting with lots of variety. I had the salmon on my last visit, which was wonderful. But the steak is always a great choice or the wild boar! Wine selection is stellar as well as service.... More

We've had dinner at the Kokanee Cafe a couple of dozen times in the last decade and know dining at this seasonal restaurant can be a gamble depending on who is hired as chef for the year. This year the Kokanee provides a winning payoff to diners through Chef Matt Neltner in creative menu and delicious food. But it was... More

It was abundantly clear from the first bite of our curry rock cod appetizer to the amazing cedar plank salmon (cooked perfectly medium rare) and the wild boar, that the Kokanee's new chef is a winner. We've always loved this place and were thrilled to celebrate our anniversary with a chef deserving of the beautiful setting where he now creates... More

Have been going to Camp Sherman for years and always fit in a trip to the Kokanee. Sit on the porch to soak in the woodsy feel. Short dependable menu but wait until you hear the specials! Will be back next month (July).

My wife & I had a delightful dinner at the Kokanee Cafe in Camp Sherman this month. Executive chef Matt Neltner, formerly of Deschutes Brewery in Bend, has put together a new menu for 2012 packed with tasty appetizers and entrees. We started with two appetizers, Scallops and Shitake Mushroom Pancakes, followed by the salmon entree. Both of us enjoyed... More
