I'm really disappointed by our Mother's Day experience at Loam--especially because we've had great…read morevisits here before. We had a 10:45 reservation but ended up waiting outside on the sidewalk for over 40 minutes. We got a couple of "it'll be soon" updates and one offer to sit at a picnic table on the sidewalk. That wasn't an option for my husband's back. And, by that point, it felt like we'd already had the full sidewalk experience! To add to the frustration, we watched a table that would have fit our party turn over and be given to a group that had arrived well after us. Once seated, things didn't improve much. Our daughter has celiac disease, and after talking through options with our server, she ordered a modified breakfast plate. When it arrived, it had two slices of (gluten-full) toast placed right in the middle. We asked for a remake. While we were waiting someone came over to tell us (firmly) that the kitchen isn't dedicated gluten-free. We fully get that, but that's different from putting bread on top of everything on the plate, especially after we'd already discussed the restriction. As I was saying that, the staff member walked away. The interaction felt more like a lecture than the apology that would've been appropriate. The food overall was okay, but not memorable. My husband said the "special" Bloody Mary was the worst he's ever had--memorable, just not in a good way. On the positive side, the gluten-free coffee cake was excellent, and thankfully the company made the day worthwhile. My guess is there may have been an issue with our reservation. We made it in person previously and it was written in a notebook. When we called to confirm the day before, they initially couldn't find it. It felt like it might not have made it into the system, and they were trying to accommodate on the fly once they realized it. If that's the case, a little transparency upfront would have gone a long way--we would have appreciated the option to adjust our plans rather than end up waiting outside for so long. Overall, this felt like a series of misses and mishandled opportunities to improve the experience. It's also an excellent reminder of why I normally steer clear of dining out on holidays.

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.

The vibe was honestly perfect, and I would go out of my way to come back The long: In good old Manzanita, there's this wonderful little spot for those that wanna have a drink and a good bite to eat. Welcome to poach 503. I was a solo diner looking for a bite to eat and stumbled upon this place and let me tell you it was packed 15 minutes after opening. Luckily, since I was by myself, I got to sit on the bar relatively quickly. As for the vibe, it was very homie cozy and honestly made you feel like you were part of the community. The lady that took my order was quick to answer questions and very straightforward, you could also tell that she knew all the locals by name and made a great conversationalist. I ended up getting a nice little hot chocolate wasn't the most adorable cup and sipping just watching the conversations roll by. As for my food, I got the Brekki sandwich which honestly melted in my mouth. It had an interesting tank to it, but that was part of the character that made it so good as for the potatoes that came with it they were fantastic. They had a nice mixture of Cajun and other spices(to my unknowing self). If anyone is in or near manzanita, I would definitely recommend as everyone seemed to be enjoying their drinks in a lively environment with some good food. Rating: 4.75/5

The tater tots looked delicious, but they were probably some of the worst I've ever had. They had a really unpleasant aftertaste and seemed to have no seasoning or salt whatsoever. We asked our waitress if they had Cajun seasoning or something similar, but she said they didn't. She did bring us some salt, but even that couldn't fix the strange aftertaste. We ended up not eating them. The prime rib dip was just okay. We were told we could get mushrooms, but apparently it was a no, and it was also supposed to have horseradish, which ours didn't have. Karaoke started while we were there, which isn't really our scene, so we finished up and left. The disappointing part is that the restaurant itself looked clean and nice, and I really wanted to like it. Unfortunately, the food just wasn't good enough for us to come back.

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!)
