The salmon cakes and the seafood pasta was truly amazing. Sat at bar which is our standard, drinks and chat was great. Highly recommend when out shopping read more

I've gone here twice. I will return again. Totally a threat because it's so dang good!! The food-Margarita pizza is tasty but the Pepperoni pizza and Caesar salad are 5 star. Thin crust, not a lot of dough to fill up on. Pepperoni has good rich flavor. Not overloaded with a lot of sauce, which is nice. Large Caesar salad is a giant portion. Enough to share x2. The service-Friendly and attentive. The gal helping our table had rude customers at the other table in the room we were sitting in. She handled it like a champ and never let it ruin our service. The ambiance-Warm atmosphere, lower lighting. They have inside dining, bar seating (bar is beautiful) side room which is a good size and outside like dining with heaters. read more

When we got a waiter, the service was nice. It took a while to be greeted at the front. The food was just alright, one person liked their crab melt but we were not a fan of the chowder or garlic mashed potatoes and the lobster ravioli was just okay. The crab cakes were delicious! Our appetizer came at the same time as our entrees, which is always a bummer. We sat outside and enjoyed the nice weekend weather. read more

The food is normally excellent. I tried their chicken piccata for the first time.. sadly, I was disappointed. The sauce that goes on that meal should be be made of butter, wine, and lemon and not thick, but it appears that a thickening ingredient was added like cheese, flour or cornstarch, which was very disappointing. We'll probably go back to my usual standby as opposed to venturing out on something. I normally don't order out. read more

1285 Restobar is a wonderful place to grab lunch. We were greeted as we entered and quickly seated. Our server, Rich(amazing service) gave us great suggestions for food: absolutely the best seared ahi I have ever eaten, clam chowder was good, as was the tortilla chicken soup, and crab melt - good sized servings of the food. The iced tea was freshly made. Don't miss this gem when visiting Florence, Oregon. read more

1285 Restobar has been our go-to dinner spot in Florence. They recently got new owners and on a trip to the coast, we just had to go again. We have NEVER been disappointed. Until today. Friday night dinner. They weren't terribly busy. We were immediately seated. Twenty minutes later, they came for our order. Quite a while later, my wife finally got her clam chowder, but I did not get my Caesar salad. Her chowder was bland and thick (we later found out it was the last bowl of the evening, so it was the bottom of the pot). I kept trying to get our server's attention and when I finally did, he went and got my Caesar salad that had been sitting for a while with some excuse about getting confused. By this time, my wife (who is a slow eater) had already finished her chowder. We commented to each other how we generally like to eat together when eating out. Our Wild Alaska Salmon (Palermo Style) finally came out (we did a split plate, as usual), it was pretty good. A bit dry, but the flavors were good. We had a side of the Pasta San Marzano and, after we added mozzarella and red pepper flakes, it was pretty good. Overall, just fair. I've always given them five stars, but have dropped it to four. I could have gone three, but want to give them the benefit of the doubt. I imagine taking on a new venture can be challenging for new owners. I hope they get it together and get back to being pleasantly memorable for their guests. read more

My best friend and I came in here on a Sunday just right after they opened. We were instantly treated by a very family server who was absolutely phenomenal throughout our entire meal. He gave us recommendations for what we should get, but came out very promptly and was made with care. Definitely a little bit more on the higher end, but well worth. read more

My lunch-dinner was so fabulous! We sat at a table near the front door by an open window with a nice breeze coming through. It was so pleasant. I really loved my dish. It was made just the way I asked. It was very busy at the restaurant tonight and it's probably always like that. But our server and other staff members were so polite, kind and worked efficiently! Thank you for taking good care of us and helping our vacation be as perfect as it could be. My husband really enjoyed the chorizo calzone! read more

My husband and I were celebrating our 8-year wedding anniversary the day that we dined at 1285 Restobar. Our morning had started inland with a visit to the Cascades Raptor Center (a must-visit), but shortly after we decided to escape to the cool, foggy climate of the coast. After all, OR was experiencing a heat wave inland. I have seen multiple reviews complaining about the lack of service, but we had a different experience (and no, I didn't even mention that it was our anniversary). It was a busy Sunday afternoon, and we walked up to the entrance and asked for a table. The hostess seated us promptly outside. While I would have preferred an indoor table, I also didn't mind dining al fresco. It was a beautiful cloudy day on the coast and I wanted to soak up the fresh air. We were handed menus immediately and I honestly had pre-chosen 1285 Restobar for our anniversary lunch because they served a take on steamed mussels that I have never had before--with Italian sausage! I could not say no to that pairing of course. We started with cocktails, as is our anniversary meal tradition, which were both so reasonably priced. We are used to paying at least $15 back in our home state, so $12 was great. The menu was right--the pistachio cocktail was addicting!! I loved my pomegranate martini too, and both paired nicely with the food we ordered. Since we didn't feel like getting individual entrees, and were already going to be sharing the mussels, we decided to order a pizza to share. The meat lovers was the best bang for our buck and we went with a medium, which turned out to be the perfect size. Our mussels arrived first, and we had plenty of time to enjoy them. Our jovial server (cannot remember his name, alas) checked in on us every so often and made sure to ask if we were enjoying our food. The broth that the mussels came in was to die for. I almost felt like there wasn't enough bread to soak up that liquid gold. The Italian sausage pairing was as good as I imagined, and the feta cheese was the perfect touch of tanginess. I also liked the addition of the diced tomatoes, which helped cut the richness of the dish. The mussels were perfectly steamed, and we savored each and every one of them. I'm glad the dish was served with a spoon, since we took turns enjoying the broth to the last scoop. We were given about 20 min to enjoy our mussels, and then our pizza arrived. It was piping hot with a beautiful thin crust and a generous helping of meat. The medium was honestly big for us, especially with the appetizer, and we knew that we would have leftovers for sure. My husband and I are not ones to order pizza normally at a restaurant, but I'm glad we got to try one from 1285 Restobar! It was absolutely delightful. The pizza was served with cheese and chili flakes on the side, but we didn't even use any, since we were enjoying the flavors of the pizza itself. We ate half and then got the rest to go. I'm so glad I chose 1285 Restobar for our anniversary meal, and would love to return to try other dishes this cute little restaurant has to offer the next time we visit OR! read more

This was our second night in Florence and we always saw a lot of people at 1285 Restobar so we decided to try them out. We were quoted a 5-10 min wait for our party of 8 without reservations. We ended up waiting for about 15 minutes in which we saw a lady Patel parked hit the Tesla behind her while backing out of the stall. We were seated and then waiting a good 10 min before our server showed up. Thankfully the table had water pitchers for us to drink because of the wait. I ordered the seafood pasta with cheese Alfredo, my kids got a cheese pizza, and my husband got the Dungeness crab melt. We had a long wait for the food so thankfully the bruschetta we ordered helped ease the wait. A little disappointing that there were only three slices of mozzarella to 6 tomato's. My seafood pasta was great because the Alfredo sauce wasn't heavy. More like a cream butter sauce. I found the scallops to be very good with no sand. The shrimp was big and flavorful. The crab melt was good but I'm not a fan of covering my crab with cheese. The ambiance was busy and bustling and we were right by the bar. There were additional seats outside the front as well as outside in the back. The pain point of our dinning experience was the waitress was pretty much mia. She checked on us once and then we saw her at the bar for most of the evening. She was nice but we waited 20 min for the check because she was tending to the bar. With kids who have very little patience part of our party had to go outside to wait. Overall, the seafood pasta was good, but the rest of the food was kind of lackluster. Not sure what the popularity of the place was all about. Maybe if we were able to get dinner done in an hour and not 2 I would have added one more star. read more

We ordered the chicken Parmesan sandwich and it was delicious! Not too heavily breaded. Lightly grilled. Provolone and Parmesan cheese. The marinara sauce was on the side, which I appreciated. It comes with a side Caesar salad. Perfect accompaniment! We also had the meat ball sandwich which my husband raved about! He said it had the perfect blend of seasons, Parmesan cheese ratio... fresh and spicy. Made in house. Our server was attentive and helpful. We love the old town layout cation and cheerful atmosphere. Great beer and wine selection as well! read more

Went in Sunday (5/10/26) around 5:30 for dinner. Asked for a table for 2 and the waitress told us it would be about 45 minutes even though there were about 6 open tables. We asked if we could be seated for drinks to wait and was told no. We left! read more

We had a fantastic experience at 1285 Restobar. Stopped in on a Friday night on Labor Day weekend and our table of four was sat immediately in the charming enclosed patio in the back. The waitstaff quickly took our drink orders and continued to check on us throughout the evening. The menu is large and most of the entrees come with a free salad which is such a bonus. On a street full of good restaurant options this one is not to be missed. read more

We went on a Friday night at about 6. We were seated immediately and got a table in the front room by the window. If was warm and comfortable. I had the Alaskan salmon with crab sauce and garlic mashed potatoes. It was excellent! Very moist and rich! The potatoes were the best garlic mashed I have ever had. My wife had the chicken piccata and was equally impressed. She also had a pomegranate lemon martini. Spendy at $14, but quite delicious. We will be back! read more

Visiting this incredibly beautiful and colorful part of the country we wanted to stay a few days in Florence. After walking and talking with locals, this place came up as a frequent recommendation. It didn't disappoint. The food would certainly put this at least in the 4 star range. We started with drinks (Malbec and beers) with all little Caprese....great start. From there we didn't have a clue. We simply handed it all over to our server, Abby. Stop there! Let me just say, this young lady was fantastic. Her energy, enthusiasm and which we soon to find out, her knowledge of the menu, were spot on. She chose the Seafood pasta and "Chicken, Garlic and Artichoke Pizza". Both were excellent. So why stop there. She ordered our dessert as well, Crème Brûlée. Again....nailed it. The food was only matched, sorry, exceeded, by Abby's interaction making this a truly memorable experience for us! (Note: don't want to forget other's on the 1285 Restobar team....also very friendly and helpful) Highly recommend this place! The best restaurant in Florence in our opinion....and we tried quite a few! read more

Ordered the chicken parmigiana with house salad. Third time ordering this and it's still delicious over several years time. So good, I am finally leaving a review to say "That meal hit the spot!" Wednesday late afternoon, no crowd. read more

I just had the pleasure of dining at 1285 Restobar. It was surprisingly delicious! On a street that is filled with tourist traps, this place stands out. I ordered the Prawn Scampi pasta. It came with a fresh little salad that had the best Ranch dressing, totally original in flavors. The Pasta was cooked to perfection, the wine/garlic sauce was mouth watering! I also wanted to try their Clam Chowder so I ordered a cup. I won't be forgetting about this chowder anytime soon! It was thick,creamy, full of clams that has a Smokey flavor! This restaurant has outstanding food! If you're in Florence DON'T miss it. read more

My husband and I had a wonderful evening here Friday. The place is a cute little restaurant and bar. Nice décor. Love that you can see the pizza crusts being thrown from some of the tables. There is back covered patio and front sidewalk seating too! We had the Seafood Pasta. The Alfredo sauce was lovely, light and the spices were perfect. Fish was flaky and tender, scallops were perfect and not rubbery and the shrimp was just lovely. Perfect mix and enough to split between the two of us. The kitchen did the split so no mess and fuss for us! The fresh rosemary bread was delicious! Service was excellent. Wine was good and not too spendy. To finish everything off the Crème Brûlée was perfect! The people next to us were return costumers from a town about 45 minutes south celebrating their 20th anniversary. Friendly people, friendly service and lovely management = lovely evening! read more

Phone seems off the hook. They don't bother answering. Consistent with other miserable policies. (Don't take names when people wait out front for a table, won't split checks for a party of 7, automatic 20% gratuity for table of seven in spite very poor service, extra % charge if you use a credit card...) My experience with this restaurant is this: they make the best pizza in town but they treat the public with disdain. It permeates almost every encounter we've had with them since we moved here three years ago, so much so that if I dine in, I do it somewhere else, that is more appreciative of our patronage. Perhaps they have so much business they can afford to be indifferent. I am sick of it. read more

We went for lunch and was seating right away. The food as always was amazing but extremely slow. The people around us came in after us and they were served before us. To top that off the waiter was short and rude and did not seem to care about anything that had to do with our table. I will go back but if that waiter is still there I will request not to have him! read more

We came in with a reservation and then elected to sit at the bar rather than a table. Had a great experience and a great dinner, and the two bartenders were very friendly and efficient. Our choices were excellent: mussels in broth, spaghetti with marinara, and lasagna. Added a nice bottle of Italian wine for under $40 and our total was $101 before tip. EXCELLENT food! Everything else we saw served to other guests looked great too. Pizza looked great. Great bar selection and good wine list. definitely will come back, highly recommended. Nice atmosphere too! read more

Service was terrible. We waited 1/2 an hour before they came and took our order, 20 more minutes before we got our beer, easily another half hour before we got our pizza. Then after we ate, it was another 1/2 hour to get our leftovers boxed up. It was crazy. read more

This place in general had a nice vibe and food that was decently priced. My main issue was the service and how they reacted to me not even getting to eat my meal. When we were sat down it took our server about fifteen minutes to greet us after the host got us waters. It was majority empty in the restaurant. Me and my significant other ordered our food which he got a pizza and I got the Parmesan chicken sandwich. Both came out in decent time! This part is on me but I forgot to mention my avocado allergy to the staff in the first place. Which yes is a fault on my part. But none of our food should have touched avocado or been around it so I thought it was ok. About three bites into my food I started to feel itchy. Which was concerning so I decided to look at my food closer. There was bits of avocado stuck to the bottom of my sandwich and I had to not eat my food in case I started a worse reaction. No staff checked in on us for a solid chunk of time and I was only able to tell them about the cross contamination at the end of our meal. Which who I told wasn't even our main server who we didn't see since the start of our meal. All they did was box it up with barely any apology or offer to remake it. Which I get if your a smaller establishment but it sucked because I didn't get to eat. In general it was decent food I just found it concerning if the chefs don't clean the cutting board or their work station. Especially if it's another serious allergy and not just my avocado allergy. Also the corner table we were in it in total felt like we were forgotten a large portion of the time. read more
