We sat by the window overlooking the ocean, and the view was beautiful. For dessert, I had the chocolate lava cake. It was really good and not overly sweet, which I loved. And yep... forgot to take a picture of that too! Overall, such a great experience. The food was delicious, the view was beautiful, and everything I tried was so good.

They just changed their menu, the entire staff was tasting the new dishes so they could share them with their guests. We sat by the window but we could also watch the kitchen activities and the plating of them. Gordon Ramsey would be so proud of this place. Today we enjoyed with Daniel as our server, Dungeness Crab Cakes, Crab Melt, Cod fish and chips (with delicious pineapple coleslaw) and Marionberry Crisp (best one in Oregon). I really liked the pineapple lemonade and another fruit drink. If you have not had a meal here you MUST TRY 5*!!!!

Spectacular seafood!!…read more The seafood was smooth, buttery, and deliciously fresh. You can immediately tell the quality of the food. We tried and would recommend the halibut fish and chips, stuffed seafood shells, blackened salmon burger, and watermelon strawberry salad. Each was memorable for flavors that went the extra mile. The salad had rich creamy cheese that paired perfectly with the fruit. I don't often find salads remarkable but I would honestly say this is a must!! The pink and coconut shrimp appetizers were also exceptional. The broth that accompanied the shrimp was a surprising compliment, quite delicious and unexpected. The huckleberry cocktail was a fun item that tasted just like the berry with a hint of lemon. Definitely novel and loved the sugar rim with the slightly tart drink. Our group of six was seated immediately on a Monday afternoon without a reservation. Service was great and pleasantly quick. Gorgeous view!! Overlooks the dock and bay with mountains in the distance. Seals and sea lions chill out beneath the pier, providing a show. We seated indoors where large windows provided everyone a beautiful view, but there was outdoor seating available as well.

He did say that the broth lacked flavor. We finished our meal sharing a delicious Marionberry Crisp with a scoop of Tillamook Vanilla ice cream. The waiter was great! Knowledgeable about the menu ingredients and accommodating (I don't like olives and he had them in a little ramekin so my husband could have them). I wish the coffee was better.

I didn't remember to get photos because it was so delicious we just dove right in. A large group of us (9) went to Nana's close to 5ish on a Saturday and they gladly accommodated us. The server was very friendly, even offering to split our bill into 9 separate checks. Every single person loved their food. I got the chicken pot pie, mashed potatoes and gravy. We also shared the baked Brie. It was so incredibly flavorful and you could tell it was made on site. The Irish bread was dense but not too much so. A 20 oz beer was only $8 and they have a great selection. The only feedback I have would be that while the fish and chips tasted fresh and the breading was pretty good, it could be more flavorful. It needed quite a bit of salt. We got desserts to go and I imagine those will be incredible too! If I ever find myself back in the area, I'll definitely be back.

But this time, the same burger and fries were much more expensive because its...night time? Got to remove that lunch menu I guess. Make no mistake, this is a dive bar. The place is moderately dingy with karaoke, slot machines, and worn pool tables with stereotypical clientele that accompany the aforementioned. If you can't appreciate any of that, sitting at the bar look up at the ceiling tiles to document quite a few memories that most likely should forgotten. 2 Broke Bartenders doesn't qualify for being a genuine hard core dive bar. Just a dive bar that is on the fringe of "being there" and hasn't gone under...yet. However, it's probably the divest of dive bars found in the local area. Tourists will typically stay down at the waterfront. My 3rd visit was awful. While the burger is a "smash burger" I believe I made the mistake of not reading all the ingredients that were in the burger because something didn't taste good. I can't remember what the ingredients even were, but it's something that is rarely found in any burger. All I wanted was a basic burger with lettuce onions tomato...you know...the regular stuff. The actual burger meat looked good and was quite thick. But something in that burger tasted very strange. The fries were awful. They arrived limp, very overly greasy and when tasting one...it wasn't even cooked all the way through. So 5 minutes later I explain that the fries are not cooked completely though and suggest she try one of mine, the bartender said "oh some people like them that way." Some people like their fries a bit raw in the middle? My translation...the fryer is worn out and needs to be replaced. She took the fries back, and re-cooked them again. This time the fries were cooked all the way through, but they didn't taste very good. So if you like a burger that tastes...unique, and under-cooked French fries that are limp and very greasy...by all means this is your spot to dine...

I was happy to see that Newport Cafe was still around. I went in to look at the menu, sat down, and ordered. When the food came and I started to eat, I thought this would play out like another 4 star event. Let me preface this by saying that Newport Cafe currently gets 2 stars from me, with the two words assigned to those stars being: CHISELING CENTRAL I ordered the meatloaf, which had a nice garnish vegetables, and the mashed potatoes with gravy. I also ordered lemonade. I ate and asked for the bill. When the bill arrived, I saw that there was a $2 upcharge for a side of gravy, the same gravy that went onto the mashed potatoes. Rarely have I seen meatloaf presented "dry." It typically has gravy or a tomato based sauce on it. Waiter #1, who took my order, was the nicer of the two guys. Waiter #2 brought me the check. I'm used to paying up charges for extra bleu cheese, tartar sauce, or tzatziki sauce, but not for pedestrian gravy and certainly not $2 at a roadside diner. Waiter #2 got testy when I asked him about the charge, told him that I've not seen meatloaf presented "dry," and I don't think I've ever been charged for gravy. His smart alecky answer before walking away was, "I can tell." At this point, I just wanted to pay the bill and get out of there. I was able to get waiter #1's attention. I brought up the same issue since he was more affable and seated me. In fact, he and I discussed a sauce his grandparents would apply to their meat loaf! He said that the charges are listed and it's treated as a side. I don't think that a person would move from the dinner menu list ... to the backside of the menu to scour it for sides for gravy, like they would for additional vegetables or potatoes. I told him he could have also told me it was extra because I would have passed. This isn't about being petty as much as it is about Newport Cafe obfuscating the situation. In a few minutes, it got even worse. The credit card used fee was obviously pegged at 4%, which might even be higher than what the credit card companies really charge them. This then starts looking similar to the subplot in the comedy "Office Space," where small rounding amounts add up to some moolah over a lot of customers. It got even worse when they brought me the credit card point of sale machine. Upon entering my tab, I saw a much higher amount displayed. Waiter #1 told me it was the suggested tip. The tip was in the ball park of 25%! He told me I could change it. You can bet I did. (Upon recently having breakfast at IHOP, the available tip options were 15%, 18%, 20%, and other.) With such a crazy amount on there, the buyer who is not the sharpest tool in the shed with numbers might accidentally tap the "accept" button. I changed the tip to zero. I've done that less than a handful of times in my life. The math indicates that $2.00 for the pedestrian gravy and 84 cents for the credit card fee add up to $2.84, thus a 15% tip of the base in and of themselves. I do think it is tacky to stiff a server. However I saw a boss do it and it was warranted. We were in a nicer Italian restaurant in Manhattan for work and, at the end of the dinner, my boss stacked a couple of the plates. The petulant Italian waiter - from Italy - at this pissy restaurant said 'No, no, no, you don't stack the plates at a nice restaurant.' My boss was insulted by this, and so was I, whereby an arrogant foreign waiter berated my white collar boss to give her a crash course on "executive charm school" manners. I bring this up because she entered a big glaring zero as the tip amount. With the flippant "I can tell" comment and $2.84 in fees, there's your tip. The food was good, but not spectacular. It's basic comfort food. I remember liking their fish and chips more and how, some ten years ago, it was a benign and relaxing experience. It goes without saying that Newport Cafe's location and decor is interesting. Thinking about the credit card usage fee, that means it's also applied to the already overpriced sweatshirts and other tourist paraphernalia they sell. I could see the cooks hard at work when I went to use the restroom before settling in. It's too bad that this went south so quickly. I watched the sea lions bark for about 15 minutes and got back on the road. I really would have liked to have eaten in Lincoln City, but Maxwell's is no longer around, and I didn't think I could hold out until Lincoln City. With that linear experience where they bring you tasty fish and chips, you pay normal prices, there are no weird upcharges and a preset tip that you have to undo gone, it's time to move on. Again, I'm at 2 stars. I've already suggested the 2 words CHISELING CENTRAL to accompany the 2 stars. I could also go with the 2 words TOURIST TRAP
