Dawn ONeil Bravo Salt & Tomato …it’s been a long time coming and it’s clear that you’ve put a great deal of thought into what to offer and how to present it.. in this small community you cannot be everything to everybody and there is always going to be plenty of chatter. As for me, my husband and I loved our experience . It was a dazzling, late afternoon on a Sunday so the river sparkled and the stylish, contemporary space was roomy and casually glamorous.. And… it is right here in our charming marina in rural SW WA.. for now, we are still a hidden gem.
We knew the food was served family style and even that has a special appeal .. Sharing food is refreshing ! The focaccia was golden and crisp outside and fluffy inside..7 decent sized yummy meatballs with red sauce made a perfect starter and the handmade kale pasta with a light lemony sauce and wild mushrooms was perfectly cooked, the bright crunch of microgreens on top was delightful . I would’ve liked a little more lemon but that’s just my preference..maybe some preserved lemon would elevate it a touch. Homemade honey gelato and tiramisu were glorious. I had a glass of red wine and it was a generous pour so even though it is a brewery you still have options. The staff is friendly and the service attentive without being pretentious. I want these guys to be successful in the food venture and they are worth traveling for, so turn into Cathlamet and make your way to the marina when you’re heading to the coast or back east toward I-5 ..You’ll remember it fondly and help our small local economy too.
