Fish Tacos al pastor
Michele N.

Review for Local Ocean seafood: We stopped for lunch. Ordered the "Kindly Ones and Spicy Bloody Mary" cocktails. These were delicious. The Kindly Ones was a mojito type refreshing cocktail and the Bloody Mary had a great kick. We started with the roasted garlic crab soup. This was amazing and rich. The soup was very creamy with a substantial amount of fresh crab meat and cheese in the middle of it. The bread served with it was fresh and not to be missed when dipped in the soup. We split the Fish Tacos al pastor. Plenty of delicious fish and a variety of flavors brought these to life. I would order this again (and the soup). Service was great as well. You may want to stop in for happy hour as well if you get the chance. Well done!

Grilled Hoisin Black Cod

This is the spot that everyone recommends for dinner in Newport. We rolled up early on a rainy Saturday night and were told it would be a 45 minute wait. Thankfully it was about 20 minutes or so, time to go say hi to the sea lions and then come back to a table. We were seated upstairs, but not near the window. The rockfish decor is stylish and fun, I really liked the aesthetic and ambience. The service was wonderful! My water glass was never empty and our server was incredibly warm and friendly. We started with the Roasted Garlic and Dungeness Crab Soup, which was full of cheese and big chunks of crab meat. The flavor was garlic forward, but still well balanced. It was served with a couple of pieces of soft focaccia, a lovely touch. We also had their House Salad and were pleasantly surprised. It had mixed greens, tomato, cucumber, and parmesan with a Dijon vinaigrette. It was fresh and delicious, would recommend! My husband had the Grilled Hoisin Black Cod which he enjoyed. It was a flavorful veggie filled yakisoba dish. My daughter had the fish tacos, which she enjoyed. I went with the crab cakes and fries. I'm a bit picky about my crab cakes, but these were pretty good. I do wish that they had a bit of a more golden crust and were warmer. We decided to get dessert too, since the meal was so good. We went with their homemade ice cream of the day which was strawberry coconut. I liked the the flavor, but the texture was a little icy. We also got the Fruit Parfait, which was a delight. The fruit was fresh and flavorful and the lemon shortbread cookie crumbles and berry coulis brought some extra brightness. It was a nice light and sweet way to end the meal, highly recommend. Overall, we had a really pleasant meal! The food was good, the service was great, and we are happy to have a new spot in Newport.

Loved the place and vibe. Great view. The food was delicious.. The Tuna Ruben was my favorite! Highly recommend. Side note; we got to watch a bald eagle flying around while we ate. Very cool.

We're out of towners and Local Ocean was recommended to us for our first visit to Newport in 2024. We made a reservation in 2024 and subsequently made reservations to come the following two nights, 2025 we made reservations for both nights we were staying in Newport, 2026 reservations for last night and that concludes our obsession with Local Ocean. When my husband and I walked in last night to the restaurant and were seated upstairs, we each gave each other other quizzical look? Something's different... First question out of our waiter's mouth was are you ready to order? We were able to back it up and ask for a cocktail first. My margarita was fantastic, the perfect Manhattan was diluted. We ordered the blackcod off the specials, room temperature and a grainy consistency. Half a dozen oysters, only two out of the three oysters were identified. We got the roasted lingcod it was pretty darn good with a tasty citrusy broth and the pasta special with calamari, which was light on flavor. We were able to catch our waiter's eye to get the dessert menu before he brought us our check. What did see a couple of waitstaff from our previous visits, but ended up with somebody that we hadn't had before. A little looking on the Internet shows that they have had a change in ownership/management. You can tell. Where I once thought the food and service at Local Ocean was pretty special, I think it now just falls into the regular good seafood restaurant category. We will not go out of our way to come back. Time to try something new.

Wild Chinook Salmon*
Tuyen H.

We walked into the restaurant at 5PM and was quickly seated at our table. There were heaters throughout the seating area that helped with the cold weather. We placed our order for the scallops, crab cakes and the wild salmon. The scallops were delicious! I could eat another order by myself. My husband ordered the wild chinook salmon and said it was okay. The crab cakes were okay as well. For some reason, it was a bit too mushy for my taste. But the French fries were on point. Crunchy and delicious. We decided to order desserts too. My husband order the hazelnut espresso martini and said it was really good. The brioche bread pudding was just okay for me as well.

Crab deviled eggs

Looking for an upscale dining experience in Newport? This is the place! I would suggest the kung pao prawn plate, and the garlic crab soup. Sooooo good. Fantastic views of the harbor, cool location and the service was "5 out of 5" to quote my daughter!

We were told this is THE PLACE to go for delicious fresh local seafood. ABSOLUTELY! It was everything we expected; quality, service, atmosphere. Thank you LO for a wonderful experience!

Oysters
Danielle R.

Went here to celebrate my mom's birthday dinner and it didn't disappoint. Great table overlooking the water and Raven gave great service. Everything was delish. We had the clam chowder, dozen oysters, Uni (which was the best we've had), fishwives stew, miso tuna, albacore tuna wrap. For drinks we had Bloody Mary's, old fashioned and espresso martinis. We loved the guava ice cream and had the best bread pudding for desert. We would all copy and paste the entire meal again!

Seafood Stew
Khristy S.

This is definitely one to go to when you are in Newport. The servers are always friendly and spot on. They have staff that have been there for a long time and know the menu very well. The side salad with shrimp was filling and very yummy. The dressing is always nice and fresh and the citrus really comes through. We have the stew again, which is really good, but was not as flavorful as the muscles that we had last time, but still very good.

Nina M.

Beautiful views with an outstanding meal!!! Fresh seafood with great company paired with a friendly and speedy service, what else can you ask for?? We loved the deviled eggs the most, would definitely come back for the oysters and the soup.

Local Ocean used to be our spot when we lived in Corvallis! Since moving to the PDX suburbs, we hadn't visited in 3+ years. We were able to go this past week and it was as good as we remembered it! We went for lunch on a weekday and were promptly seated. My husband doesn't eat seafood so we always orders the burger with white cheddar and bacon, and says it's the best burger he's ever had. I of course, had to go with the Fishwives Stew. It was as fabulous as ever, with huge pieces of fish and crab and plenty of clams. The bread chunks included are to die for. Our server was kind enough to offer that the kitchen could crack the crab for us, saving a hassle for my two young kids, and saving me the mess. A true game changer! The restaurant is beautiful, overlooking the ocean and all the boats. It was such a wonderful experience, and we are so excited to go back.

Full Dungeness Crab and Fishwives Stew
Ty B.

Outstanding seafood restaurant in Newport. The composition of each dish was sophisticated and finely tuned -- a symphony of flavors. The servers have worked there a long time and ensured a pleasant experience, I can tell they are well compensated by industry standards by the way they approach their jobs. We sat in the lower dining room, I always enjoy the ambiance of an open kitchen. The lower level doubles as a fish market where they are selling seafood that they feature on the menu. Go to local ocean for a fantastic dining experience along Oregon's central coast.

Tiffany R.

Sorry fixed it! Great service, our server Joaquin did an outstanding job! Fresh small oysters on a half shell. Great selection. Good wine list Great quality food and reasonable prices The view is awesome 1/2 bottle of wines on Wednesday!

How's the parking situation?

Plenty of street parking as well as a decent sized lot adjacent to the east of the building.

Is there an elevator to get to the upper level? I cannot climb stairs. Thank you.

Hi Jondra, yes there is an elevator

Is this a good place to buy crab legs and shrimp by the pound to cook at home in a seafood boil?

Yes, but definitely call them first to make sure they have them in stock.

Is this a good place to celebrate a 10 year anniversary?

Hi Aimee, we may be a bit biased, but.... yes, we are a great place to celebrate an anniversary! As long as you like fresh seafood ;)

Do they serve pork?

We have bacon and sometimes pork belly but no pork entree on the menu currently.

Do they have a dog friendly patio?

When the weather's good, we do have a small patio for outdoor seating but unfortunately it is not pet friendly. Sorry! I would recommend Nana's or Taphouse at Nye Creek in Nye Beach or Rogue here on the bayfront for pet-friendly patios. Thanks!

Do they have sushi?

No they do not

Do you newt reservations?

reservations are not required, but it can get busy during certain hours/weekends. upstairs is nicer space than downstairs, but the food is wonderful regardless. garlic crab soup is a delight

It was a thicker clam chowder, but it was absolutely delicious. Creamy, and they were generous with the ingredients. A very good bowl of chowder. For my main course, I had the combination halibut, king Salmon, and tuna. They were very generous with the portions. The fish was delicious. The halibut and the salmon were tender and juicy. The tuna was just a tiny bit chewier, but it was also very good. The fish was lightly breaded, although a few of the pieces. Were a bit darker than the others. That took away from it just a tiny tiny bit. But overall, successful. The tartar sauce was very good, rich and tangy. Instead of the fries, I finished with the coleslaw. It was not overdressed, and I liked the dressing. It was a sweeter dressing than your standard mayonnaise, but not overly sweet. It was an excellent coleslaw. For all of the quality food I got, the price was very reasonable. I would come back the next time. I'm in town. Thank you!

This is not Michelin dining, nor is it fast food that you can get anywhere in the US on a road…read moretrip. We had been to the Oregon Aquarium and did not feel like cooking so we looked up carry out options & we were close to this place. It looks perfect from outside: the place is old, the signs are hand painted, there is a lot of color, there are a bunch of picnic tables, and the parking lot is gravel. It was getting crowded. We needed food for four and we got jumbo prawns and chips, halibut and chips, clam chowder, some kind of roll that was shrimp & cheese, and some cooked Dungeness crab with cocktail sauce. We had about a 15 minute drive to the house & we called ahead to get the oven turned on so we could reheat the chips and water boiling. Otherwise, we got all the main dishes out and went to work on the deck. This is well prepared good food that is best eaten outside on big table covered with newspaper. Added cold beer, corn on the cob, lots of hot sauce, ketchup for the chips, and some cheese cake from a farmers market for desert. It was a perfect summer meal on a perfect summer day with the sound of waves breaking on the beach about 300 feet away. If you go to this part of the Oregon coast you should try South Beach Grocery. The young woman at the counter was patient with our questions and the folks at the cooking stations were fast and capable with seafood that is not easy to cook but easy to mess up. There was no messing up at this roadhouse. They know what they are doing. Go here, eat here, and then go back and eat some more the next day. We did but two days later.

As a pro tip, you should always order a side of sliced sourdough bread to go with it; it is the perfect pairing for that creamy goodness. For beverages, they have about a dozen flavored sodas to choose from, and I always get the Cherry Bomb from that list. Other favorites from their menu are the oyster shooters, their famous popcorn shrimp, and The Crew Share. Service is always quick and friendly, whether you are dining in or ordering for takeout. The location offers a variety of seating, including cozy indoor options as well as side and front patio seating for when the weather is nice. If you want to take the experience home, they also have fresh steamed Dungeness crab and a wide variety of other seafood for sale to go as well!

It looks like the salmon dish my husband got had cheese on top (allergy) so I'm guessing we asked for it without the cheese after I snapped a photo and we noticed the cheese. There's a chance it's not cheese, but it looks like cheese... and goat/sheep cheese doesn't seem likely (he can have those... just not cow cheese). My fried oysters & chips meal was good but quite heavy. I think I decided to try the grilled version next time if we return.
