Cartwright's Taprock Northwest Grill

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Honestly I have no negative things to say! The build is BEAUTIFUL being right off the river too! If you want to be seated right away go down to the bar for itself seating with tables and actual bar itself down there! That's where we went and the waitress was sweet inattentive to all of our needs! We got the pulled pork sandwich and the turkey club sandwich and they were really really good, would highly recommend but honestly the sweet potato fries were probably the best sweet potato fries that I've ever had and they were the waffle cut fries as well! They were extremely good, and we also got the ahi tuna wonton appetizer and that was well worth the money if they had like an eel sauce or some sort of sauce or even Wasabi on the side it would basically be just Sushi because it was that good!

Overall I had higher expectations for this place. The food presentation was very nice. Service was lacking. The salmon slider were cooked perfectly. However the burger and fish tacos were a bit over cooked. The view of the river and sound of the geese made the experience a bit better.

We drove 45 minutes hoping for a great steak, and while the food was good overall, it didn’t quite live up to Cartwrights’ butcher reputation. I had the 10 oz ribeye with asparagus, sliced avocado, and corn chowder. The steak was tender and flavorful, but only about ¼-inch thick, no way to get a proper medium-rare on that. For a place known for quality cuts, the chef should’ve grabbed a better thickness. My asparagus was perfect, fresh, and well-cooked. My wife had the steak bites linguine with “asparagus tops” (which turned out to be chopped stems) and a Caesar salad that she thought was too heavy on anchovy, I liked it but thought it needed more cheese. The linguine itself was excellent and cooked perfectly. Good experience overall, but being served a paper-thin ribeye means I’ll probably think twice before making the drive again.
