    blt salad and combo appetizer.
    Tammy C.

    Picked up my daughter from the airport and we decided to grab a bite to eat before heading back to our town. We found This is a little "hole in the wall" place by searching for something nearby. I am so impressed. The food was AMAZING, fresh and plentiful. Our server Jen B, was really attentive and friendly and equally as amazing as our food. The atmosphere is comfortable and relaxing , dim with a nice bar too. Their drinks are tasty too. This is our new spot. Will be coming back for my birthday.

    Now listen, I've eaten fish in places where the seagulls judged me harder than the chef, but…read moreFisherman's Market in Eugene is the real deal. No fancy bells, no whistle and just honest, no-frills service and fish so fresh you'd swear it still had stories to tell. I wandered in and found a small seating area tucked away, nothing flashy, just folks there for the same reason: good food. And good food it was. The fish was fresh, cooked right, and full of flavor and none of that overworked nonsense, just straight-up tasty. If you're looking for glitz, keep wandering. But if you want a solid meal that feels like it came straight off the boat, this is your spot. I'd happily cast my line here again. I am sad my daughter is graduating because I most likely won't have a chance to be back . Sad !!

My wife wanted soup or chowder so we tried Fisherman's Market in Eugene. Excellent choice! We shared a bowl of the clam chowder, a bowl of the seafood stew, and a couple pieces of fried salmon. Best decision ever. The stew was tomato based, lots of fish and just a bit of heat. The New England chowder was flavorful with lots of clams and potatoes. Salmon was equally good; the coating was light and their homemade tartar sauce very good. They offer 6 other sauces besides tarter and ketchup, which is a nice option. They have live fish and seafood, plus cases of whole crabs, fish filets and much more. Their cole slaw looked really good, but we had already eaten. Eugene is only 2 hours from home; we will be stopping there again.

Although the layouts are different but the service and foods are consistent. This time I decided to order the atomic sauce in dynamite spice level. It was too spicy for my husband. I think I can definitely go even one level higher. We ordered combo #2 with shrimp heads on this time. Everything tasted great. I wish there was an option of substitution. I would rather get more corns than sausages. The sausage was really hot dogs. The potato sizes are uneven. One of the potatoes was so tiny. Potatoes and sausages are cheap.

Lunch is a good time to go cuz they have both lunch specials (for simpler meals if not craving a boil in a bag) & happy hour specials. Likely not as busy as weekend nights too. Can attest that ordering at the "dynamite" level of spiciness could be too hot for many diners. Food was delicious and the robot server is adorably polite. Only minor complaint were the portions of the corn, potatoes & sausage (basically a few slices of hot dog). Given the prices at this seafood restaurant, and the low cost of corn, potatoes & hot dog, why not increase the size of these items?! Star lost for portion size. Place isn't fancy but staff are friendly & prompt.

The caprese was great alongside-- I was already full and still housed the house made focaccia and pesto, truly so incredible. for our main we split the cajun salmon with pico de gallo, mashed potatoes, and side caesar salad. delicious!!! I don't even really like caesar salad that much, and theirs is top notch. they split our plate for an extra $3 and it was plenty after appetizers. lastly, interiors: our table was perfect. they sat us right by the window on the water for sunset. I was only in florence for the night and can tell this is the best spot in town!

You know what you're paying for, the view.....unless you're willing to pay even more; most likely the food will suck and the service will be bad because your waiter is crazy busy. Positives: -the prices were very reasonable and affordable. We got a lot of great tasting seafood and finished everything we had. The seafood boil was great. The stuffed mushrooms were amazing too. -service was great, our waitress was very honest giving us her honest opinion on what we should order. She recommended we share too instead of trying to sell us an additional dish. -ambiance, sitting outdoors on a waterfront you can't beat that. Overall 5/5 I honestly loved my experience so much that I'm ready to leave California behind. California is overrated, that's my honest opinion being a California native of almost 40 years. I used to love it and think that I would never want to leave. I can't say that anymore, especially recently.

    Food is great! We had a lovely experience this time! See below, please read the whole review…read more I'll admit the first time I went to Kennedy steakhouse in March I was very underwhelmed. The food was mediocre for the price back then.... HOWEVER, we decided to try it again because my son LOVED the lobster Mac n cheese. When we went back this time the food was fantastic!!! The fries as an appetizer were SO good! I ordered the long bone pork chop with arugula, and apple slaw, it was TO DIE FOR! Perfectly cooked and the pairing of fruits and veggies was amazing! I also ordered a side of mashed potatoes and shared with my daughter. I've never really been a fan of main dishes not coming with at least one side but I did like that it was easy to share. 2 of my kids split a New York steak and it was the perfect amount of meat, it was cooked perfectly medium rare as ordered. Of course my other son ordered his old stand by of lobster Mac n cheese and loved it just as much. My husband had the seared ahi tuna. It was a lot smaller than we expected for the $$$. We are used to big Hawaii prices but with those prices you usually get a decent amount (I realize that it is easier to come by there). Our server was lovely and the atmosphere is very chic! Our kids are older (teens/ preteen) and well behaved but I don't think I would recommend this for littles.

When I said something to the waiter, I was told, "Well, I didn't recommend it" - but he didn't _not_ recommend it! The butter cake was overcooked and not good. It was disappointing, especially for the price of the meal. I came back a second time, thinking that maybe it was a fluke because I had sat at the bar. This time, the waitress was very kind, but the steak came out medium well. When you're paying $70+ for a steak and at a restaurant that claims to be a steakhouse, you expect the steak to be cooked right. Twice, months apart? I won't be back. The brussel sprouts were okay.

    Nate 2026 Newport, Oregon…read more Came here based on recommendations from somebody in Bend, Oregon, and a local. I will start by saying I was not impressed. We had a reservation and they took us in a few minutes early and sat us upstairs. We sat near the window that overlooks the harbor and could see it from our table. Very pretty. There is a bar area and other tables that are away from the window that don't have the same view. When we were approached by the waitress, she informed us that they were out of Dungeness crab. Our reservation was at 6:15 PM. Seems a bit odd that a town known for Dungeness crab and the restaurant doesn't have it during peak dinner hours. My husband ordered a cup of clam chowder, and I ordered a cup of the Dungeness crab soup. I loved the creaminess of my soup. However, it was not served hot. Also, there were so many shells in my soup that every bite I had to remove one from my mouth. I do believe that the roux sauce had too much flour and was not mixed well. The clam chowder was not creamy, but had a good flavor. Chunks of carrot and celery. Both soups were served with a portion of bread. The bread was good. We shared the salmon dish. We asked our waitress if we could have the peas on the side as my husband has an allergy to peas. She was quick to tell me that there would be no substitutions. I informed her I was merely asking for the peas to put on a separate dish when brought to the table. She said that she would need to clear it with the kitchen first. Apparently, they approved, as the peas were served on the side. We did enjoy the salmon. It is cooked, medium rare. However, the middle of the salmon fillet was more rare. The buttery sauce was delicious and the asparagus was cooked very well. The mushrooms were delicious. The restaurant is very casual. The outside is not much to look at. The service was fine, but not exceptional. The food was good, but my expectations were so much higher for all of the accolades I had heard prior to dining. They add an automatic tip of 20% to every tab. Then on the bill, they politely ask for an additional gratuity. See the picture of the reason for their 20% gratuity on each bill in the photos that I have attached. I would give this restaurant four stars. It is a B rating for what should be an A restaurant.
