This place is now called Skylar's and under new management…read more We went in, apparently on their first "official" day. There is lots of promise in this new fledgling restaurant. With some improvements, I hope to be able to give a 5 star rating. First the good: the building is nicely finished and clean! If I remember correctly, the original was a bit divey and dumpy. This was clean, shiny and bright! Small, the capacity is (I think the sign said) 65 people. So it's not big, but it's laid out nice, and clean! We were greeted quickly by a kind waiter who informed us it was his first day. He did good for a first day. The menu is small, & heavy on the oysters, which isn't surprising for the area. Unfortunately, I am not an oyster fan. But, there were plenty of other things to order. Luckily, we didn't feel like eating fish and chips, because they had run out. So I am assuming their fish and chips must be good for that to have happened. I went with the three tacos, having to choose three shrimp tacos cause they were out of fish as stated above and the other choice were oysters. lol! No problem. I like shrimp. My husband got the shrimp po'boy and fries. Here's where some corrective criticism comes in. The wait time for food was far too long. We sat for about little over 30 minutes before we got our food. Granted, they were apologetic and knew it was too long. I'm not sure what the problem was, but they did make good on it by taking 15% off our bill. They didn't need to do that, but we did appreciate it. I get it....they're new and figuring it out. I have no doubt whatever the issue was, it'll be improved upon. We appreciated the fact that the waiter and the other gal working (I am assuming the owner?) kept checking in and apologizing. As far as the food: we ordered a bowl of chips and salsa to start. Nothing outstanding about them, except we were so hungry we snarfed them down pronto. The salsa tasted like it was out of a jar, not bad but not fresh homemade. (If I'm wrong I do apologize.) My husband said the shrimp po'boy was tasty. He just wished it was a bit bigger. It came on a smallish roll, cut in half with some steak fries. It did look like a small portion for a big fellow, and he left feeling a bit hungry. My tacos were ok. They came with fried, crispy shrimp layered with some slaw in corn tortillas. They were tasty, but, the slaw was overpowering the taste of the shrimp. I wished it had been the other way around. The slaw was very sweet. Not bad, but I felt like it was more a sweet slaw taco instead of a shrimp taco. This review isn't going to stop us from going again. I'd like to try their fish and chips and their burger. And we really want this little place to be successful cause it's been far too long without any restaurants in our tiny little communities. (Nemah and Bay Center) So, I hope to be able to change this star rating to a 5 very soon!

We walked in and about 5 people were all hanging out at the bar, including employees. You could tell they were all locals and they all turned and watched us. Oh their clam chowder was so delicious and hearty for $5 a bowl it was a bargain. I also ordered fried fish and oysters for $14. It came with 2 pieces of fish and 2 huge fried oysters and fries. Both fish and oysters were delicious. Service was quick and friendly.

I also really appreciated the history of the area and the oyster industry in Washington. Our tour guide was one of the owners and he was friendly and open to taking the tour in the direction that interested us. We learned how to schuck oysters, and most importantly, they were fresh and wonderful. We also had clam chowder and crab, which were both delicious as well. I will be back to get food again sometime.

I paired my small and X-small oysters with can of local semi-dry cider and enjoyed the vibe on the back patio for as long as time would allow.

I just assumed it was done to order and got doubly excited for some smoky grilled oysters I was fixin' to have. I got inside and placed my order and waited for them to hit the table. During that time I didn't see any oysters come from the building and go to the grill. When my oysters came to the table, Manuel came from the kitchen where he and a lady had spent most the time while I was there. The oysters looked exactly how the pictures looked and were piping hot. I waved my hand over the oysters towards my nose......no smoke smell. I leaned away, very surprised on why I couldn't smell smokiness. I picked up my fork and bit into an oyster. I tasted no char or smoke of any kind. My oyster had been broiled. So, I had to call Manuel and ask how the oysters were prepare. He told me that the oysters take 18 mins. to prepare and sometimes the wait when there is a lot of people, causes a long wait time. I was the only person in the restaurant, until I got up to pay. He implied that sometimes to avoid a wait, another preparation style is used with the grill in the "back" and this was the technique that was used to make my order. I only observed smoke and wood smell from the front grill that was closest to the front door of the restaurant. Also, he said that oysters are prepared one of three ways....pan fried, fried, or grilled. My oysters weren't prepared any of the three ways he mentioned. All this said to me while it sounded like he was gathering his thoughts and mumbling his words. I must've come on a bad day, Manuel did mention how business had been bad for him.

The two ladies working were so very kind and offering options so we could get our seafood home safely and they provided us with ice! I got Willapa Bay oyster shooter which was cold, sweet and delicious. I also got a small cup of their clam chowder which definitely hit the spot on a cold, wet day. I will definitely be back!

It's too bad this place only had 1 review and it was 1 star. I came here while camping and they…read morewere about to close. I didn't get a chance to take photos as I was in a rush. They had a dozen oysters for $5.50! I don't know if that price can be beat. 5 dozen for $25. They also had oysters already shelled in plastic tubs and ready to go and I think a quart was $25. They sell corn meal fry mix too! So you can fry your own. I wasn't sure how to make them yet so I passed (this time). They also sold Smoked Oysters which I bought but they actually came from Ekone Oysters down the road. I don't have any point of reference to compare them to but I thought they were good. They might only be a 3 star place but I'm giving them 4 because I have never bought a dozen oysters for $5.50. We BBQ'd the oysters and a few of them didn't open. Not sure if that is normal or if our BBQ wasn't hot enough. Or maybe that's why they are $5.50. But next time I will buy the ones already shelled.

This place is a real gem, they sell seafood to all the people that live in this lovely little seaside (bay side) village, so the prices are super-low, not tourist prices. I bring my grandson (and others) on these trips, and the treatment we received was stellar, and that goes a long ways for me as I am trying to instill the same values in him that I observed from the wonderful, caring lady that waited on us. On each of our outings I try to drive home at least one message, and this was it: Treat others as we were treated at Seasonal Seafoods in Bay Center. Sure, they have the best prices in Southwest Washington, and we will drive the couple miles off the highway to buy everything we can. And we rearrange our schedule to get there when they are open. While the world seems so troubled, we can escape for a few days to Willapa Bay, buy entirely too much stuff from Seasonal Seafoods, and share it with our friends. This is a high quality merchant that deserves our support, buy from them often, and buy enough to give to your friends. Buy Local, and support hard working farmers and economies in these rural areas. And when you come here, you will have a story to tell, and that's what makes you interesting, your stories. And please write a review for them, but remember, it is not about how Starbucks made a smiley face in your espresso and sold you a $30 coffee cup, but rather how these people work hard every day to bring us the highest quality food and truly care about what they do, and their customers as well. May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

The dining room was busy, but we were seated right away at a two top table near the kitchen door. Our server was extremely busy and took a long time to get to us. I wasn't super hungry so I ordered the lite portion of sauteed calamari with Cajun seasoning. I chose the steamed vegetables as my side and a pleasant little side salad with shrimp as my starter (ranch dressing was good). The calamari were wet. Spicy yes, with some butter in the ramekin, but mostly just soggy and rubbery. The steamed vegetables ($2 upcharge) were also wet, just plain, steamed with zero seasoning and much improved when I added some butter and salt. I would prefer sliced carrots over these commercial bagged shreds that are difficult to eat. The broccoli was cooked perfectly though. Well, this certainly was a low carb lunch if nothing else. Husband had the cod sandwich with coleslaw and a cup of chowder. He was very excited about his fish sandwich, it was a big piece of cod battered and fried, on a nice big bun with some lettuce underneath. It came with coleslaw which is not his favorite but he did not substitute. It also came with a nice pickle wedge. The chowder was good, if a little thin. We paid the bill at the counter, where two young men were just hanging out. Have them help the servers, they are too busy to do a proper job and these two need something to do. I guess this restaurant is a locals favorite, I'm glad they are doing well but it was not the best meal I had in Long Beach.
