Nice fresh fish restaurant. The food is excellent and the service was great…read more If you like clam chowder with an abundance of clams, this is your place to eat. The chowder has a nice broth, not an overdone roux, where the spoon will stick straight up without moving. Excellent flavor. The fish and chips are great. Not greasy, not over cooked, perfectly balanced and fresh. This place is a nice treat.

Prepared for a wait, we popped into South Bay Wild Fish House and put our names on the list before…read morewe explored the antique mall nearby. The thirty minute wait had us seated right around 2pm, after the lunch rush had dissipated. We had a table just inside the door on the first floor, and the wind from the open door was a little chilly so I ate lunch in my jacket. I can't imagine eating on the windy little patio. And this was August 15th, summer heat, not! Our friendly hostess was also our server, and we got right down to food. First the ceviche ($16) which was shrimp today. Husband ate most of this dish, as I wasn't starving. It was a nice little bowl of chopped shrimp with some red peppers and lime. The chips were thick and rigid. Clearly homemade, which is nice. On to entrees, which took awhile because they are made to order. Husband chose the rockfish and chips, and I had the rockfish tacos on corn. The fish tacos were a huge portion, three stuffed corn tortillas with fish, cabbage, guacamole and pico. The accompanying orange colored (chipotle?) sauce was also yummy. The fish were smaller chunks but well seasoned. I also ate the rest of his chips with my meal, although the tomatillo green salsa was not my favorite. The rockfish and chip was three large pieces of crunchy battered fish with fries, tartar sauce and slaw. After the ceviche there was no way he was finishing this big portion! I took a picture of the inside of one of the fillets, so you can see how thick the fish is cut. No dessert for us, just settled the bill (3% card surcharge) and off we went with our leftovers. A good meal at a popular place can be had at lunch, with a little patience for the wait!

Finished off with fish and chips and a fish taco! A wonderful place to eat with fresh fish generally provided from what they're able to gather that day.

No! This place was…read morereally disappointing. Came here based on reviews, but I. would caution anyone to steer clear of this place. It started with flat champagne drinks. That's just a fail, and it suggests a place that doesn't bother keeping things fresh. It kind of went downhill from there. We were looking for nice fresh fish and chips, wile we were out along the coast. We live near the coast ourselves, and are no strangers to good seafood. We decided to do the Cod and the Halibut fish and chips. While the halibut seemed fresh, the cod was waxy and looked old, and frankly i found it somehow mildly nauseating. I couldn't bring myself to teat it. The batter was crsipy, but lacked seasoning and tasted really flat (cardboard?). Aside from that, the coleslaw seemed pretty old soggy. Gross. Not impressed at all - some of the worst fish and chips I have ever had. Some people may like this kind of food - but i will actively avoid this place the next time in Astoria. Hard pass. i'm nauseous just thinking back to my experience here. Could hardly get away fast enough...

We're underdressed." Nevertheless, we drove out to find it (big red building on the right) and walked in wearing our sightseeing comfy clothes, windbreakers, and sneakers. The staff welcomed us warmly and we saw the others were likewise attired. The restaurant itself has stunning views of the water and bridge; well-spaced tables in an airy windowed setting; and a large fireplace to enjoy warming up next to after being out in the fog. The food was superb. If they have their duck on the menu when you go, do not miss out on the duck! I cannot stress how absolutely phenomenal the perfectly crisped skin and spot-on cook on the meat was. The perfectly creamy chowder was rich with seafood. The salmon was delicately handled and flavorful throughout. Do not miss stopping here. I know on our next PNW trip, we will definitely return.

I have many benchmarks for what I consider to be "the best restaurant" around here. Community. Great ambiance with a friendly, easy, warm and welcoming vibe. Delicious and thoughtfully prepared, uncomplicated food. Yes, any good cook can throw together blitzed artichoke hearts and slap a thin slice of mortadella on top and call it an appetizer. I can do that. But I want to order that exact appetizer at Fede, along with the preserved tomato and ricotta crostini, and I want that perfect-ass arugula salad with heavy shards of Parmesan and the lemony vinaigrette, without having to do the heavy lifting/rinsing/prep at home. I want the warm welcome from the staff. I love the river view while I'm sipping a Negroni. I love Faith, the down-to-earth owner. I love that this place is so busy in a small coastal town, that you need to put your name on a list to wait for a table. I love that malfalde dish, rife with pecorino and black pepper tangled up in scraggly pasta shreds. I love that everyone loves that they have deviled eggs as an appetizer. I love that I have a good friend whom when she's dining at Fede, and when she sees someone she knows, she sends the much-coveted deviled eggs to their table as a joke/you're welcome gag. Fede, you're wonderful. Thanks for being here.

Found Fort George right down the street from our hotel and they had a black bean burger on the menu (whooo!) Headed over for a late lunch/early dinner at 3 pm. You can choose from the wood fired pizza section upstairs (I believe they take reservations) or the pub downstairs (first come first serve) which has a few indoor tables, some semi-outdoor tables that are well covered with a roof and glass sides, or a fully outdoor beer garden with covered and un-covered picnic tables. You order at the counter and then pick your table, they'll drop off the food to you. We opted for the black bean veggie burger which came with pepper jack cheese, guac, some Aioli, and a side of fries. It was very good and exactly what we were craving. They did have a vegan chicken sandwich that looked good but instead I went with a side salad with poppy seed dressing. The salad was fresh and so delicious and the dressing was perfection! Also did a side of hummus and veggies. The hummus wasn't fresh/home made, rather it was from a local place (I believe) and was pretty good. We didn't have their beer but they did have a large selection with varying ABVs and types (the fresh hop IPAs looked extra good); however we didn't see any non-alcoholic options when we looked. We had the ice tea which was fine as well as a Lüp, which was a sparkling hop water, it was pretty good. They also have a gift shop with shirts, hats, beers, and more. They had four (!!!) different types of aged barleywines - we regret not getting some to bring back home. Everyone working was also welcoming, friendly, and helpful when I had a few questions about the menu. Would recommend and we'll come back the next time we're in town !

The broad outdoor patio is absolutely incredible, and a place to spend any nice weather day. I am a big fan of all the fish and chip varieties that they have cooked over the years. The beers are all fantastic and make any moment worth it for me. I was lucky to experience two separate experiences here last weekend, and, the first was the worst. After waiting in a short line for 25 minutes, we finally decided to depart, since we were in a rush and could not continue to wait for 3 more groups to move at a pace of one per five minutes. Terrible experience - put more people up from or go mobile menu! Later that day, we spent a good hour here for a wedding happy hour, with the venue rented. Beers were great, and they made the best White Summer (50% beer, 50% cider) I have had! The food were all fantastic, and the barrel room was a great space with good access to stand outside. However, the staff were quite rude to several guests about drinking alcohol outside - the door sign was often blocked or too small - and we were told to not use the general patio - so figure that out to make it a more positive experience.
