I'll start this review off by saying that I love Cathlamet. It's a quaint little historic town…read morewith a rich history and really nice people. I've been visiting here a dozen times a year for four decades. There are a few eateries here. Many seem to come and go although there are a couple that have survived the test of time. RM38 is a newcomer... used to be in a small building with VERY limited hours. I gather their main biz was brewing craft beer for a very small clientele of businesses and the "saloon" was mostly a side hustle to help pay the rent. So I see they moved into new digs down at the marina. I won't take off any stars for the following since this seems to be their new business model: Offering uber-expensive, skimpy portions of not especially tasty food targeted to yuppies who have more money than brains. Suffice to say that you won't see many Bikers hanging out here. The good: Their patio has a nice river view and a pleasant breeze. Sitting out there enjoying a cold one on a hot Summer day is very pleasant. And during the Fall too so long as it's not raining. People complain about the lack of parking which is not an issue when you show up on a motorcycle. But there are LOTS of places to park although you may have to walk a few yards... you poor darlings. Staff is less than amazing but they are always courteous towards me. I suppose I am no more their dream customer than they are my dream hangout. But Bikers tend to be very generous tippers so they might want to keep that in mind. There's one long-established watering hole in Cathlamet but it's a dark, indoor venue. I like it there and it's more of a dive bar with very good food. The thing about Cathlamet is that if you are just an occasional visitor you have many options of where to stop for a meal and/or drink and never get bored. There's also a few good places at the other end of the ferry ride in Westport, Oregon. Hard to say how long RM38 will stay in business. I'm actually surprised that they lasted in their original location for so long considering that they were only open for a few hours during the weekend. It would be great if they quit pretending to be an upscale eatery and instead focused on providing a good value, tasty, filling meal for the money. Again, no minus stars for that but until new management comes along and makes some changes it will just be a pint or two for me and i'm on my way. Of course as always YMMV.

The wait was surprisingly short despite going for lunch on a Saturday during Halloweentown…read more Unfortunately after we were seated the service went downhill. It took 30 min for our order to be ready. When we asked to check on it we were brushed off with a "oh we're super busy"; the waitress didn't even pause. Food is standard pub fare; nothing exciting. The chicken sandwich was two chicken tenders, not even a complete piece of chicken which felt low effort. We were maybe 3/4 through our meal when they asked if we were finished and if they can clear our table even though we were clearly still eating. Felt like they were rushing us despite the restaurant not being full. After we were done, the check came immediately but then no one came to collect the credit card. Altogether very poor service. Would not return.

Had dinner at the Klondike Tavern in St. Helens and it was exceptional from start to finish - I'm…read moretalking really, really good. I ordered the pasta bolognese and a seasonal lemon drop, and both were genuinely the best I've ever had. The bolognese was rich and perfectly balanced, with deep, slow-cooked flavor and pasta cooked exactly right. Every bite felt thoughtful and well executed. The lemon drop was just as impressive -- bright, fresh, and not overly sweet, with a clean citrus finish that made it hard not to order another. The atmosphere strikes that ideal balance of relaxed and refined, and the service was attentive with a splash of "feels like home." Everything was clearly itemized on our bill, and there were no surprises. It's clear they care about quality and providing a complete dining experience beyond a great plate of food. Large portions, delicious food, well-made cocktails, solid service, and a unique setting compelled us to tip handsomely. It was a great experience. If you are in St. Helens, this place is worth your time. I'll absolutely be back. We left genuinely impressed!

So Friday night we came down and had Klondike. And I ordered this lovely egg nog seasonal mocktail drink and then we ordered food, and I had a Mac and cheese with I believe pulled pork? Or brisket? Idk, it's some magical long cooked meat, and pickled onions and i believe I had him add a stupid amount of jalapeños cause I love spicy. I can't even tell you what my wife ordered, honestly I was so into the flavor of the food, and how savory and high quality it was.... She may as well have been invisible lol We had the best waiter, forgive me cause I can't remember his name. But his energy was radiant. And he asked me if I wanted a free refill on the nog, and I said "oh I didn't think this came with a refill, but I'd love one" he ended up grabbing one, and told me it was his mistake it actually wasn't on the free refill part, but he covered it on the house cause he saw how much I loved the first and since he had gotten my hopes up with a second he wanted to take care of me on the house.... It worked out well for him when bill came lol I love when people do this kinda stuff. Also his personality was like an infectious happiness.... Gosh I wish I knew who it was... Anyways.... The food here is awesome, and the staff is great. And I don't drink but they have a huge bar. And a Hell of a specialty cocktail list.

The cafe itself has an eccentric vibe that we absolutely loved. It's cozy, unique, and full of character, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. Rosebud Cafe has quickly become a staple in our restaurant selections, and we can't wait to return. Oh and the caliber of live music they have is amazing! I'm so glad we tried this place!

They also have a fantastic selection of local beer on tap. It's the perfect atmosphere to catch a game. With a giant projection screen and plenty of TVs, there truly isn't a bad seat in the house. Plus, they have a pool table, ping pong, and old-school pinball along with other games. We've also heard they serve an excellent breakfast with homemade biscuits and gravy and breakfast sandwiches--we haven't tried it yet, but we can't wait to come back for it!

Fun friendly crowd too - I was rooting against the Seahawks and nobody was bothered. Giant screen for sports, several free games (which is great for the kids).

And there's plenty of entertainment in there to pass the time. Burgers are phenomenal.
