For outside dining; walk inside Garibaldi's Portside Bistro, procure a menu, make your selections, go back inside - order and pay at the counter. Your meal will be delivered expeditiously. Lovely aesthetic with views overlooking the peaceful harbor with birds swooping in and around. The interior is clean, welcoming and comfortable. I am not a big burger girl but let me tell you this; we (both) ordered the PBJ Marionberry Burger and it's the best burger that Mr. Wonderful and I have EVER had! (*HE eats a lot of burgers!) I tried to get a good cross-section photo, but I'm not a professional (like John). Anyway, they give you a bunch of wet wipes with this meal because - *YES! The only snafu we experienced was - ordered 1 IPA and 1 blonde and ended up with two IPAs - Mr. Wonderful & IPA = no bueno but he's too nice. Even after I double checked with Tami (who was wonderful) he stuck with their error. Would we return? 100% most definitely!

On our last night in Rockaway Beach, my wife and I were looking for a new place to eat. We…read moreinitially went to one place in Garibaldi, but it was an hour wait, no bar, and too many kids. This was not the environment we were looking for. We went back to the car and drove to Kelley's Place. This dive bar is in the middle of nowhere, but I'm glad we found it. Upon walking inside, we felt like we were at home. Though we love going to a high-end restaurant, we come from a small down and really enjoy the dive bars, especially when you get a friendly bartender, good drinks, and some good food. Kelley's had all of that. I went with the Cod Fish and Chips, which was breaded in Panko and fried perfectly. My wife had the Fish Sandwich, which tasted great as well. We also had the Coconut Prawns, which I'm sure were house made. These were amazing! If you're looking for a great dive bar that's not right on path, that has a friendly service, good drinks, and good food, stop by Kelley's.

Of course, every restaurant can have a bad night, but after reading them, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect. Our experience was anything but disappointing. We started with the steamed oysters, and as someone who has played oyster roulette and lost one too many times, I was thrilled to see fresh steamed oysters on the menu. They were delicious, perfectly prepared, and honestly had already altered my mood before the rest of the meal even arrived. And then there was the view. Spectacular. I kept looking around thinking what a privilege it was to sit down to dinner somewhere so genuinely beautiful. We ordered a cup of clam chowder to split because we'd heard it heralded as some of the best, and it absolutely lived up to the praise. Buttery, flavorful, not too thick and not too thin. Just really, really good chowder. For dinner, I had the ribeye topped with crab meat, and my date had the wild salmon. Both came with the most incredible creamy mashed potatoes and a salad. Even the salad service impressed me: chilled plates AND chilled forks. Such a small, thoughtful detail, but it immediately told me how much care goes into the dining experience here. My steak was phenomenal. The fat was rendered beautifully, the steak itself was cooked perfectly, and the crab on top made it feel completely indulgent. The salmon was equally delicious. Not a bite survived. We absolutely did not need dessert. And then our waitress brought out a massive tray of house-made desserts. Cheesecakes. Tortes. Crème brûlées. An entire parade of poor decision-making staring us directly in the face. So naturally, we took two desserts to go. We knew we'd regret it if we didn't. I also have to mention the service. Our waitress was absolutely incredible and, along with just one other server, was holding down the entire dining room. Despite how busy they were, the service was warm, attentive, friendly, and never felt rushed. A fabulous meal, genuinely wonderful service, thoughtful little touches throughout, and a view that is very hard to beat. Whatever experience led to some of those harsher reviews, it certainly wasn't the experience we had tonight. This wasn't just dinner. It felt special. We will absolutely be back.
