After coming down the coast to visit Newport, we were looking for a good brunch spot along the way…read more We visited the Hilltop Cafe Bistro, and may I say, what a great experience! If you're from the Portland metro area and visit the coast, this is a nice place to try out. The portions were generous. The pancake order comes with four, and they are BIG. The potatoes were cooked with onion, which gives them a nice taste. The bacon also had a great texture; usually, when you try new diners, the bacon tends to be more squishy. If you're not a fan of that, then this bacon is for you!The biggest surprise was their sourdough toast. It had a crunchy crust, a fluffy inside, and great taste--you can definitely tell it's made from scratch every day! Overall, the staff was great. One thing to keep in mind is that there isn't much room; I'd say it holds about 40 to 50 people. Most dishes are around the $15-$20 mark, but for the generous portions and great taste, Hilltop Cafe Bistro is a 9.1/10!

Beautiful location. Friendly staff. Limited seating. Food takes a significant time to come out…read more Veggie breakfast burrito: came with a surprisingly good pico de gallo. Stuffed with veggies and had a good ratio of egg and potato. Wasn't greasy at all. Grilled cheese. Came on focaccia. I thought was ok but my child was quite a fan. I wish I would've gotten it to go and ate at the beach a few steps away. I was planning on dining outside with the view but was told the remaining available benches were part of the bar and my child wasn't allowed to sit there

First time eating pizza at Grand Central Pizza. I am visiting the Waldport area, and I looked up…read morepizza near me. This place popped up, the only one in the area. Except there is a food cart that makes pizza also. I asked questions on the phone and the person that answered was nice and professional. I even asked if I could place an order on the phone. She replied yes with a smile in her voice! I placed an order for a Half and Half and chose the 24 inch pizza. She said it would be ready in 20 minutes. I believe I got there a few minutes early and they had it ready! Now, I got it back to the hotel I was staying at. The pizza box was heavy! When I opened the box, to my surprise, the pizza was loaded with toppings! I only got three toppings on my side of the pizza! The pizza tasted so good! I noticed in the kitchen that the cooks were rolling and stretching out the dough themselves. It was fresh! Anyways, I thought of writing a review after the fact. I do have a few slices left. The Hawaiian slices where not mine so don't fault me for that! LOL! Must try place and they have a big menu!

The charming town of Yachats is going to make my 5-star rating average skyrocket…read more What can be said about Luna Sea? The fisherman comes every night with fresh catch. The vibe couldn't get more authentic fish house unless we were on the boat. Speaking of authentic, the "chips" are about as real English triple cooked as I've had. I haven't been to England, but these fries are better than British themed pubs I've tried in Vegas. Freshness is the difference from the fish coming out of Luna's kitchen and any other fish houses we've tried from Santa Monica all the way up to Port Angeles. That's 3 Pacific states I mentioned. Lightly fried and nicely battered. I literally felt the alpha proteins process in my body before the check even came. Flakey, buttery and tender seem like generic terms to use with fish descriptions. I truly mean it here, dude. The aesthetic is functional honest fish house. Choose your own seating, with adequate outdoor umbrella'd picnic tables with a view of the gorgeous village. There's a hybrid indoor/outdoor dining space with a transparent rooftop for a sheltered outdoor vibe and there's an indoor dining area away from the elements as well. You seat yourselves. The busy bodies working at Luna's are chipper and are all about what they do. Keep a happy staff and you see the results. They have to be feeding the staff I'm sure. Refills on time, attentive even when full. Elioy is THE MAN! We've sent our teenagers on their own to dine here. It's that kind of service. Good peeps! Speaking of our boys, this was the restaurant that they specifically ask for ever since they first tried it. Prices are great for the unique fresh quality and you can have anything fried or grilled. An honestly great authentic deal in Yachats! Driving the coast on tight wallet? You can't go wrong with Luna Sea Fish House!

We live a few miles away, in Yachats, and have watched this place go through many changes over the…read moreyears, but now the current operators are really doing a great job. The food is fresh and artfully prepared, and everything we've ordered in several visits has been delicious and very reasonably priced. The service is great, the view of Alsea Bay is stunning from the lounge as well as the main dining area, and while I'm at it, I should mention the drinks are excellent as well! The only reason I'm not giving them 5 stars is there is a little trick to finding it in the midst of the Bayshore development, which is probably why they aren't packed to the gills every night. As much as I'd like to keep this place our little "locals secret", however, they deserve more folks making that turn at the convenience store just north of the Waldport Bridge and following the main road down to the bottom of the hill. It really isn't that hard to find! So consider this a five star review after all!

I ordered the vegan pizza and salad, and both were seriously good -- fresh, flavorful, and actually satisfying. As a vegan, sometimes ordering out feels like negotiating with a menu, but Beachcrest delivered real options that didn't feel like an afterthought. The service was also super fast and genuinely friendly. Everyone was welcoming, the food came out quickly, and the whole place had an easygoing, good-energy vibe. The restaurant itself was really clean too, which always makes a difference. Honestly, if a place can make me excited about both salad and pizza while also getting me fed quickly and kindly, I'm probably becoming a regular.

We literally drive almost three hours round trip for breakfast here. The food is exceptional every single time -- and everything is plant-based, although apparently they're so good at it that people don't even realize it. Last time we were there, we ended up sharing a table with a stranger who had ordered an omelette. Somehow it came up that the whole restaurant is vegan and she was SHOCKED. She had absolutely no idea she was eating a plant-based omelette. Honestly, that might be the best review of the food right there. The place itself is adorable and quirky, with tarot cards and games on the tables, fun merchandise, and friendly, funny staff. And the pastries!! Worth the drive all by themselves. We absolutely love this place and will continue making our ridiculous breakfast pilgrimage as often as possible.

The interior of the place was not at all what I had expected. I was thinking dark, low lights, lots of booths and a large bar. I was surprised to find a big open room with a bar on the side, next to a kitchen window, tables in the front and some gaming and a pool table in the back half. I heard some of the regulars talking about some new games back there but I didn't venture past my comfortable bar stool. Didn't see the food menu but most of the folks had baskets full of fried food and condiments. I stuck with my Bloody Maria idea and it was tasty - - the bartender filled it with a variety of pickled veggies and a pepperoni stick. They have a parking lot out front and a covered outdoor area for smokers.
