Salt & Straw — Restaurant in Tualatin

It's hard to say anything about Salt & Straw that hasn't already been said by others, but coming from someone who does not generally like OR eat ice cream, gelato, or anything even remotely similar (I know, I know...what kind of monster am I?), I will absolutely tear into a (small) serving of some of their savory selections, like Arbequina Olive Oil, or even the Cinnamon Snickerdoodle, if I am feeling frisky.
