My favorite smoked salmon cakes with aioli. Their cheesecake is spectacular The service you order at the counter and pay then find a table inside or outside. I like the feel of River Mile. Inviting and casual.

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.

Food's good. We're usually here after an appearance so only snacking, but the snacking options are…read moresolid. Wasn't here for the food, though, was here for the absolutely stunning whiskey selection and the fact that this is easily the best Old Fashioned between the Willamette and the ocean. No, really, your fancy stuffy Portland bar does not pour as good and Old Fashioned. And every time, that's the Klondike. The bartenders are awesome and friendly, the...no, sorry, man, the Old Fashioned. I gotta keep talking about it, because it's that good. (Oh, also the zero proof selection is fire. Had some egg nog concoction back around Xmas when I had to drive and you know for an 0.0 that was 100% tasty.) I don't know the magic. Their Manhattan and Brooklyn, also solid, but it's getting the perfect balance in the cocktail and it's real hard to find anything that holds a candle at twice the price. Now, is it Decibel good? Yes, actually, with the same vibe of that I don't feel weird as a blue-collar type here, nor am I surrounded by blue-collarosplayers, a big problem in Portland. So, yeah, amazing to get a snotty bar quality Old Fashioned at a welcoming place for a welcoming price. You should stop in and make sure you're not wearing socks you're too attached to because it will knock them off.

Walked in great service with in 5 min I've had a punch cocktail and my food order has been placed…read more Best experience during a windy day with the munchies.

Very disappointing! What happened to this little gem in the harbor? A couple years ago this was one…read moreof our favorite places to grab food and a pint in the harbor. Now, weeds growing up through the patio and paint peeling off the doors are what first greet you. Followed by a greeting of "sit anywhere", and so you choose a clean table that doesn't have the chairs leaned up against the table. Ordered from the over priced menu. Burger served over done, cheese cold - not melted. Shrimp had some strange oily sauce that was not the advertised lemon garlic. View of the harbor is still good, but not worth $100 for a barely edible lunch. Very sad.

This review is for the pub food. We have not stayed at the hotel, so I can't report how the rooms…read moreare. The pub/restaurant is excellent. It's not big...less than a dozen tables inside, there is outdoor seating, and when the weather is nice I bet it's a great place to be on a warm summer evening. Right on the water, with views of the boats. Ilwaco itself is a bit of a dungy town, but this place offers some delicious dishes, and the ambience is cozy, & romantic. We were immediately seated, as we were the only ones at the restaurant on this cold, wet PNW day. We both ordered a cup of their crab bisque. Delicious. It really hit the spot, and warmed up our cold bones. What I really liked about it was it wasn't too salty! Both my husband and I added a bit of salt and that elevated the flavor, but I liked that the chef didn't over salt it, and gave me the choice of how much sodium I wanted to add. My husband wished he had ordered a bowl. It is delightful, flavorful and a decent amount of crab in it, as well. (I enjoyed it so much, I forgot to take a picture of it!!) The chef really knows his stuff and has a great flavor profile on the menu. My husband ordered the Helm Burger with tots. He gave them two thumbs up. The burger patty looked fresh homemade, as opposed to frozen bought at Costco. It was a decent size, & thick and juicy. With the addition of bacon to it, he was greatly satisfied. I ordered the Deckhand. Let me tell you, this was a delicious sandwich! The pork is tender and juicy, the sauce is sweet but not overly so. The picked added a wonderful crispy texture along with the sweetness of the caramelized onions....it was a tastebud explosion. So good. And so filling. I had to take 1/2 home and was a bit annoyed when I found my husband ate it the next day for lunch! I guess that just means I'll have to go back sooner than later to order it again. I'd like to also mention that the tater tots were perfectly fried and crispy! The waitress from friendly and attentive and the chef was sweet and so pleased with our compliments. Don't wait a moment longer. Get yourself to Ilwaco and check this gem of a place out! You won't be disappointed.
