Rivershore Bar & Grill
1900 Clackamette Drive, Oregon City
503-655-5155
A romantic riverside dinner for two or just anoth
er family outing?
It doesn’t matter if you’re sitting inside or on the
patio; the Rivershore Bar 8t Grill has an outstand
ing waterfront view that looks over the Willamette
River.
Their menu has a showcase of choices from
lobster to a half-pound bacon cheeseburger. The
entrees go from $8 to $19. I had their halibut fish
and chips and a chicken teriyaki burger with a cup
of New England clam chowder. The burger was deli
cious, and the fish and chips were some of the best
I have ever had. The batter was perfect. The New
England clam chowder was amazing, and a cup is $4
and a bowl is $5, or you can add it to your meal as
a side dish for just $1.95.
I have been told the best time to eat at this res
taurant is every Sunday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. when
they serve an all-you-can-eat buffet that has dunge-
ness crab and top sirloin for $14.95. Unfortunately,
I was unable to experience that for myself.
The bar area is a great place to come and relax
after a long week. It has a great atmosphere for just
hanging out. They have many TVs and have sports on
most of the time. They also have a great happy hour
menu that all can afford. I would suggest that you
try their crab and spinach dip. It’s rich and creamy
and well worth it.
From the patio that oversees the Willamette
River to the relaxing bar area, the Rivershore Bar
& Grill is an affordable experience that everyone
should enjoy.

Typhoon!
21900 Willamette Drive West Linn
503-387-3688
From the name “Typhoon!” I expected
that I might be blown away by this restau
rant; I wasn’t disappointed.
The dining experience here was fantastic.
Typhoon is a play on words referring to Thai
food, as owner Bo Kline and her chefs are
actually from Thailand. Typhoon! has gained
attention and awards as the premiere Thai
restaurant in the Northwest.
The West Linn location can be found
in the relatively new and upscale Central
Village on Highway 43. It is a stunning
restaurant with a great atmosphere and
impressive architecture. Upon entering I was
impressed by the huge tree that rose into a
dome in the ceiling.
They have a nice four-sided bar located in
the center of the huge, open interior. There
is a nice variety of seating options, including
a large round table that seats up to 12 with
an open fireplace in the center. There are
also three small outside seating areas at the
second story level.
They have a great happy hour menu from
4-6. p.m. that features slightly smaller por
tions of the main entree menu. The
on these ranges from $3-$5, while the dinner
entrees are generally in the $10-$15 range.
I was very impressed with the Miang Kum
Fill spinach leaf with ginger, shallot, lime,
toasted peanut, dried shrimp, a slice of Thai
chili and coconut flakes, and then topped
with Bo’s signature sauce. It was like a sym
phony of flavors to my taste buds.
Another favorite was “Death by
Asparagus,” which they rate as a three-star,
their highest on their heat index. It was a
generous portion of asparagus stir-fried with
spicy red curry paste and chicken or prawns
I chose chicken and thought it was fantas
tic and the perfect spiciness for my tastes
It won the grand prize from the Califomii
Asparagus Commission.
Typhoon! is my new favorite restaurant
and I can’t wait to go back.
