Discovering the Delicious Side of Sherwood

As if you weren’t full after a day of all that, a hidden treasure in Sherwood that’s not to be missed is Hunter’s Ridge Grill.  Turning off of the highway into strip-mall zone, you’d never know that this warm restaurant is here, tucked into a corner of the forest.  There are old-growth trees and a little stream just outside the door, and a fireplace inside the bar.  It feels like a contemporary hunting lodge. Unfortunately, I only had time to poke my head in and drool over the menu, and I can’t wait to get back to try it.  House-cured pastrami … butternut squash ravioli … flat iron steak with a bacon and onion potato cake … yum!  The prices are really good for this type of cuisine too, fresh and locally sourced.  The back of the menu boasts a list of all of the farms and purveyors they use — a detail I look for that is uncommon even in Portland. This restaurant would definitely round out a trip to Washington County wine country, and no doubt, my next visit to Sherwood.
