Food was good, view was great, service was friendly. Desserts were delicious. Great spot to spend with your loved ones!!

Pre-T-Y good clam chowder. It has a little bite to it but it's unique and very tasty. Not all that inexpensive and the portions aren't especially generous. But the food is good and the wait staff is very attentive albeit sometimes slow. Not a bad place of soup and a sandwich when you are in the area. read more

Very good! Both for the adults and the kids. Forget the haters, the dining here for dinner was awesome. First off, the view: Holy smokes, Awesome! The service: Quick, polite, attentive. The food: Again pretty awesome. Locally sourced shellfish. Amazingly smoked salmon. Crazy good Cajun snapper (a special today). Pretty decent wine and beer options. The kids menu was also a winner with our little ones. Maybe it was just what we ordered, but the flavors were quite bold. I can see how a long wait could happen here. The seating is limited (12 or so tables in the dining area) and the food is good. We were seated immediately at 5:30 on a weekday. The prices were definitely modest for the dining experience. Though not cheap, we were more than satisfied with the $25 - $30 entres, $30 bottle of yummy wine, and $10 kids meals. Not world-class gourmet, but a definite must if you're staying in Oceanside. read more

This place is delicious. The building is very inconspicuous what's inside matters most here. I ordered the salmon which was perfectly cooked. Roasted potatoes accompanied the salmon. For dessert I ordered the cobbler a la mode which was heaven. The views here are stunning to add to your dining experience. read more

TL;DR -- miserable experience, 2-hr wait, bad service, crying, $200. Really wanted to love this place -- super cool-looking with a good-sounding menu, but...last night, we put our name on the list at 6:30; one person told us 35 minutes, another said an hour. No problem -- there's not much on this part of the coast, so we were happy to wait. We got a glass of wine and settled in...for a two hour wait. We were finally seated at 8:30, well after the 8:00 closing time (and that of every other restaurant in the area). The staff was clearly hassled that we were still there (like it was our fault?) and service was very slow, which was odd, given that the place was now empty. Our bottle of wine showed up after our appetizers, they were out of the halibut cheeks special, food was very average overall, and the whole experience was pretty disjointed. The pinnacle was when my wife's halibut sandwich showed up and it had so little fish on it that she literally cried -- there wasn't really anything else to do at that point. We spent $200 after tip and I'm pretty sure that not one of the four of us left the restaurant happy. read more

I would rate this restaurant higher than three because of their most delicious crabcakes. Where things slightly take a turn is when you order the shrimp cocktail. Do you mean Langostino cocktail or what we call in SpongeBob land fish bait or chum? It seems as this town is very keen on their special finishing salts; this restaurant does not subscribe to the town motto. Fingerling potatoes were tender but beware, you will have to do something to them to make them pleasing. I don't like to leave sub par reviews because I've been in the restaurant industry. Knowing full well they can charge whatever for basically being the only game in town, I would expect a little more effort & finesse. read more

Great place on the coast. Wonderful staff and a cozy, relaxed atmosphere. I especially enjoyed the oyster burger and the shrimp melt was a huge hit as well. read more

Came here for a late dinner. Be prepared to wait a little bit but it was well worth it. We arrived at 7:15 (they "close" at 8) and got seated about an hour later. Great views of the sunset. Food came quick. We shared 3 apps and dessert. We ordered the bacon wrapped scallops (4 scallops), crab cakes (4 in an order), and shrimp cocktail. Note that the shrimp are very small... almost like shrimp that go on a salad. Tasty, but different than what we expected. We topped dinner off with a piece of toll house pie a la mode. A perfect end to the night! read more

Fantastic little restaurant, been coming to Oceanside for over 25 years our family would always go here when we first arrived and when we left, food is always top notch !!!! Great attention to detail , the meals have never disappointed. And the staff are always friendly. read more

We are here two nights in a row when we were staying in Oceanside. The Parmesan crusted halibut was so delicious and the peanut butter pie for dessert was the perfect ending to my meal. read more

Service was great. I loved the fish soup. Great views of the ocean. Highly recommended.

Came here everyday I stayed in Oceanside and was never disappointed. The waitstaff are all so friendly they truly made my dinners fun. I wasn't hungry the second day so just had a side salad and clam chowder and loved the clam chowder and the ranch for the salad was that good good ranch (you know what I mean) and I also got the prawns and roasted potatoes the other day and it was nicely seasoned and hit the spot. Oh also make sure to try out their cocktails they were delicious! read more

Very good food. We wish they were open more hours. Felt like we had to plan a lot in advance to make sure they were open for our dinner.

What a great little spot! We popped in for a late lunch on a Thursday afternoon. Ordered a sandwich, a cup of soup, and a glass of wine. The food was fresh and delicious and the service was spot-on. We liked it so much we went back the next day for lunch. On trip #2 they had a pan fried oyster special. My hubby ordered it and said they were cooked perfectly and just delicious. I definitely recommend the desserts as well. The lemon blueberry cheesecake was wonderful. read more

Looked fwd to this lunch. The crab cakes did not disappoint. $26 fair price. But- The smoked salmon & halibut was a waste of $25. There was NO halibut & the smoked salmon was way too strong. When I told the server she just shrugged and said they ran out. Would NOT have ordered it had she told us. Took it home to try to 'fix' it. Big disappointment. Will not dine in again, will only get crab cakes to go when I can't find crab cakes elsewhere. Also, usually tip 20% but they now automatically add 18%. So I guess I saved $2. read more

Great view of the ocean. Service is a little slow when they're busy, but it was super good. Cioppino was great. My wife had the pear Gorgonzola hazelnut pasta. One of the best things we've ever eaten. read more

It was my first time visiting Oceanside and I'm glad after walking the beach we ate here. It's within walking distance to the beach so you get a beautiful view when eating, and within walking distance of beach parking. The service was fast, friendly and very accommodating. The food is a little higher priced than I was expecting, but there's some affordable options. Plus, if you don't like seafood there's plenty of options. We had the pirate cove sandwich and seafood scramble. Both were incredible! Then finished off with some cobbler while watching whales in the distance. Only recommendation is more price friendly seafood options. read more

Get there early as it gets busy and the wait to get a table gets long. It's a little pricy than what I'm used to but we ate there twice this last weekend, the first night my wife had the oysters and I had the scallops both were excellent. The second night we had the crab cakes and Parmesan crusted salmon and again both were fantastic. read more

A must-go to on the Oregon Coast! First, they took Covid cleanliness as well as I've seen any restaurant. Perfect view overlooking the ocean from a bluff. The food was to die for as we had an oyster burger and Alaskan halibut burger. Her Bloody Mary was one of the best she's ever had. Overall fantastic and will be coming back. read more

Roseanna's Cafe - View from table - Seafood Near Me - Oceanside, Oregon

What a lovely little, family-owned and run place! The views looking out from inside the restaurant are incomparable. Looking out over the beach and water while you dine is a very special experience. The food is absolutely delicious! We got the Cioppino, a fabulous seafood stew packed with different types of seafood and a massive loaf of bread. It blew us away. I don't think we've ever been given such a gracious portion of seafood in a restaurant before! The halibut sandwich is incredible and so is the salad with your choice of protein. You can't go wrong with any of their options! They also serve wine and liquor here which is an added plus! read more

Roseanna's doesn't open until 3:00 pm most days. It is one of two restaurants in Oceanside. The other closes at 2:00pm - the closed sign goes up in the window by 1:30 pm. Several people had been waiting since 1:00 for the restaurant to open. The menu at Roseanna's is posted in the window and is pricy and meals are small. I ordered a bay shrimp cocktail. The shrimp were fresh, piled on two pieces of greens with a side of cocktail sauce and a slice of lemon. read more

Great location! Slow service but it's a weekend, no rush but was dying of thirst. Finally server came over. Pleasant lady. One of the smallest menus for selection I've ever seen. I think I have more choices at home. Not one steak, the only beef, a hamburger . 4 fish choices, a couple sandwiches . The side salad was standard, nothing special. Clam chowder better than average. Entrées, the scallops were severely undercooked, the halibut, well it didn't taste as fresh as it was advertised to be. It was a little on the fishy side. I did not finish it. Ordered dessert to go but the ice cream for the à la cart was a tablespoon put into a container. The cobbler?? It was strange and not tasty.. it resembled a ball of dough floating in Marion berry syrup. Whatever was paid, it wasn't worth it.. not landing on coming back read more

We both got the fish special for lunch, which ended up being $23 per person. The fish smelled "fishy" and wasn't necessarily the best meal I've had on the Oregon coast. If I went back I might try something a little less expensive and lower my expectations. Other dishes looked better and priced more reasonable. Service was OK, there was a wait - with three visible open tables, but they took our names to wait regardless. Two tables stayed open after we were seated, and still people waited for tables. The wait staff was not overly friendly but our order was correct and they did check back periodically. I'm sure there's a reason for waiting for tables, it just wasn't apparent. Dessert was very good. For that, I would come back. They all seem homemade and are generous portions at a good price. Overall, I give 3 stars for food quality and service, with an added extra half star for desserts. Go for dessert. read more

Sigh.. I have been going to this spot on the coast for almost 30 years.. and it never seems to look any different, very nostalgic and constantly seals the memories whenever I return.. This place has the neatest senior waitress working here. She's quite lovely and has a wonderful southern accent to boot. I think she's related to the owner. She's now, I am guessing, in her 80s. Last time I was there was maybe 6 years before that. She told me a story about her sailor she had met once upon a time. I was so glad to see her again when I walked through the door. I reminded her of her sailor story and she just put out that sweet smile. Their menu still remains pretty much as I have remembered it. You get to choose different sauces (ginger/pear is one of them) to put on your pasta as well as what type of seafood or meat you would like. They also have these choices without the pasta in a stir fry. Comes with a nice black loaf of warm bread, 2 sides (potato or rice) veggies. My friend and I split a meal and they did not just put the plate out for you to pick through or for you to separate between the two of you. They actually split the meal and put it on 2 different plates. And they did not cut the potato in half but gave us each one.. things like that. Very customer service oriented. And it was plenty to eat! So of course we had to share a dessert and they have the same desserts they have had for years that I could count on and could still love the same. We decided on the chocolate caramel crunch cake.. and it was exactly that, very moist and chocolatey/caramely.. :D It only gets better there because the view is to die for.. and if you get a chance go there during sunset time but you better go on a weekday because there is always a line. This place just completes the town. read more

If you are going to this restaurant, go for the view. It's exquisite. The food? Not so much. I ordered vegetarian fettuccine Alfredo. The sauce was like soup. Was it the vegetables? Maybe, but I have to think since it was on the menu, they should know to account for the extra water from the veggies. I ordered a side of bread. The steamer was out so the server put one in the microwave. It's a nice dark loaf. I asked for to go silverware and got a fork and a spoon. And some butter pats on the side. I paid $20 and I have to say I might have been better off getting pasta from Pizza Hut. I got my order to go. It's been a long day and I just wanted to chill. And it was toward the end of their day, so maybe I just caught them at an off time, on an off day. But if I had stayed, the $20 would have totally been worth it just for the view. read more

Roseanna's Cafe - Soupy Alfredo sauce - Seafood Near Me - Oceanside, Oregon

"Hot Tub Time Machine".... Except in the Roseanna's version of that mediocre flick, the main characters weren't 18-year-old college dillweeds back in 1983 or 1984. Instead, they were probably some thirtysomething middle-management types and their ladies, who kept it straight for the most part but still liked to party down on the weekends back in the day. In my mind's eye--and I'm roughly the same age as the characters in the actual movie-- Roseanna's is the "nice" restaurant such folks went to before retiring to the vacation-house hot tub for some Cutty Sark and Acapulco Gold. Yeah, I'm exaggerating a bit for effect, and I'm not being very nice in doing so. But seriously, Roseanna's doesn't seem to have updated a whit since the early 1980s. Time-warp or not, though, the location and atmosphere of Roseanna's are by far the best things about this place. The attractive cedar-shake building directly faces the Pacific Ocean and offers a great view of the Three Arch Rocks; this phenomenal view is pretty hard to beat anywhere on the planet. Inside is a nice old bar and pleasantly-lit dining area. Although the dated dining area's furniture looks cheap and old, the room has some character and disamring appeal to it nonetheless. On the evening we were there, though, the music was piano versions of 1980s pop hits (think dreck like "The Wind Beneath My Wings"). Despite this gross soundtrack, and despite the throw-back vibe, Roseanna's was definitely a nice place to spend a couple of hours. The food, unfortunately, is a different story. I must have misread the handwritten specials menu because I thought I was getting halibut cheeks and smoked salmon with a forgettable side of fettucine, but what I got was a bowl of pasta primavera with chunks of halibut (decent enough) and salty, dried-out salmon jerky. This was just not very imaginative or very good. In fairness, though, the clam chowder was nicely seasoned and better. The wife ordered rockfish with a somewhat-later-than-the-early-1980s mango salsa, whipped potatoes with drawn butter (!), and a piece of corn on the cob that looked like it'd come from one of those frozen bags. Service was kind of clunky. Although our primary server appeared to be in her thirties, her manner and style were not very polished. The only thing that's very 2010 about Roseanna's is the prices. At around $100 for two entrees, the bowl of chowder, a shared dessert, and a rather modest bottle of wine, this was a mediocre dining experience in this price range. Go for the view. read more

Roseanna's Oceanside Cafe is my go-to for a cozy meal with a beach view. Their food is always fresh and delicious, and their staff are genuinely kind and helpful. My partner and I wandered in there on our first trip to Oceanside, and the owners helped us plan out our day, giving us a wealth of local activities and fun things to do. We would not have discovered Cape Lookout without their help, and we ended up getting engaged there! This kind of service, along with a great location and delicious food, will keep us coming back every time we visit. The best place in Oceanside! read more

I'm sad it took me so long to visit Roseanna's cafe! I usually lose cell service in Oceanside, so I miss it. But, my husband and I were super hungry after a Long Beach jaunt this weekend so we traveled back up the hill, enticed by Roseanna's great yelp pics. They definitely delivered! Fresh and local seafood options...and DESSERT. I got the crab/shrimp scramble and it had huge chunks of crab in it. Yum. Once my husband and I were finished, we just HAD to get dessert so we grabbed a few different options. They all just sounded good. Definitely give this place a try and plan ahead for when you lose cell service in Oceanside! read more

Ordered lunch and the salad had a rusted wire in it. Plus there was a hair in my food. I found the wire while eating my salad and felt it in my month. I complained and the manager did give me my money back but was rude. Accused me of lying. Avoid this cafe in Oceanside. Over price food and the potential tetanus shot. Is not worth it read more

Loved this charming small restaurant. Excellent service from the time we were greeted until we left. Delicious warm marionberry cobbler - so good we went back the next day to just "make sure" it was as good as we thought . Clam chowder was rich, thick & filled with clams. It did have quite a bit of dill in the soup which is new to me with clam chowder- tasty. read more

Highly overpriced, but that's what you get in a small town with limited choices. That and the same staff...FOR-E-VER. The clam chowder is actually decent. The dessert menu is good, with a lot of choices, some items being much better than others. The best thing about this place has to be the views. read more

Quaint little place to grab a bite and a drink if you're in the area. The staff and customers were really nice, the food was great, and the view of the water is the icing on the cake. You're paying a little extra for the view, but it's worth it. read more

What an amazing experience!!! We had Wanda as a server and she took amazing care of us!! We were a party of 8. The food was OUTSTANDING. I had the salmon and they had a lemon butter sauce that was incredible, the clam chowder was delicious and even the salad was fresh. I would give them more than 5 stars if I could. read more

A little bit spendy but worth it if you want a true coast experience. The seafood is fresh and tasty and the view of the beach is really amazing. Very homey feel and warm feel.

There service was really good and everyone was super nice and awesome. read more

My daughter and I went into this little cafe for a glass of wine and appetizer. The waitress, hostess, was rude and full of herself and had us stand and wait for our table unnecessarily. We were shopping for some jewelry they had in the cafe, and she totally ignored us when we needed information or to purchase our gifts. The crab cakes we had were 4 for $17 and were doughy with very little crab. Our overall experience was unsatisfactory, however we did find some cool jewelry. read more

Have eaten here several times and was disappointed with Saturday, Oct 1st dinner. Arrived about 6:45 and there were several open tables which seemed unusual. It took 10 minutes to clear a table at the window and another 10 min for our server to arrive. The food was OK however I ordered the fish special and it arrived with no sauce. I asked waitress if it was included and she retuned with melted butter and garlic in plastic cup. We each received 3 whole roasted potatoes on our plates without any dressing, sour cream or other; just odd. We're headed to the Schooner next time. read more
