Oak Hills Brewpub on Cornell Road earned a perfect 100 in Washington County's latest round of restaurant health inspections, while Venezuela Grill in Beaverton scored an 81 after inspectors found raw chicken stored above ready-to-eat food and no sanitizer test strips on site.

The early July inspection results, reported by Kalena O'Connell of the Beaverton Valley Times on Tuesday, Aug. 4, cover dozens of east Washington County restaurants. Three scored below 85. All passed.

Venezuela Grill, at 16365 N.W. Twin Oaks Drive in Beaverton, lost points for storing raw chicken above cilantro, cheese and oil; keeping cooked potatoes, meats and chopped vegetables without date marks; and failing to use sanitizer during dishwashing. Items with unknown expiration dates were discarded on site, and the restaurant had no sanitizer test strips available for inspectors.

Pastaliciouz, which shares the same Twin Oaks Drive address, scored a perfect 100.

The two other restaurants below 85 sit farther from Bethany. Casa Toro at 1435 N.W. 185th Ave. in Aloha scored 78 after inspectors found expired cooler items, missing date marks on cooked food and a large number of flying pests in the bar and back areas. El Pariente Mariscos Y Más at 9225 S.W. Allen Blvd. scored 77 after inspectors found insects inside two bottles of alcohol behind the bar and raw fish stored above ready-to-eat sauces.

All violations at all three restaurants were corrected during the inspection, according to the Beaverton Valley Times report.

Closer to home, several spots familiar to Bethany and Cedar Mill diners earned top marks. Oak Hills Brewpub and Wingstop, both at 14740 N.W. Cornell Road, scored 100. So did Pop & Pour Dirty Soda at 14675 S.W. Teal Blvd., Wrap Around Town at 13275 N.W. Keeton Park Lane and Ninja Bowl Teriyaki at 731 S.W. 185th Ave.

In all, 16 Beaverton-area restaurants and seven Tigard restaurants received perfect scores.

Washington County's Environmental Health division inspects every licensed food-service establishment twice a year, unannounced. Inspectors check food temperatures, preparation practices, worker hygiene, dishwashing and sanitizing, and facility cleanliness, according to the county's food safety page. Scores run from 0 to 100; a restaurant needs at least 70 to pass.

Restaurants must post their score placard near the entrance.
