There wasn't a dance floor so when we opened the door it was immediatley packed with a lot of dancers having a great time and the live music was really good. We got our way up to a long bar style table between the actual bar and row of boths. We were never acknowledged although they did notice we were there. There was 3 ladies who were on the floor & tending behind the bar. They didn't actually approach the tables much. We were justt about the leave but hesitated not knowing where esle to go due to the time. Eventually we did get to plae an order. Meanwhile a couple at the bar each get wrong plates, then we finally got ours; mine was incorrect too. When it did come (coconut shrimp with some type of Asian sauce), it didn't have the sause but the regular cocktail. Which was OK but tit was the other I was mostly interested in. We both did like the food it was the service or lack thereof we had our issue with. We were never approached with our tab although they did collect our plates, one server was standing there as if in a daze, one was trying to hussle dishes or fill the ice bin and one was tending to about 5 girls doing shots. My husband ended up going to the bar, still waiting to be acknowledged. Meanwhile got to talking to a guy who said he's offered himself to improved service and has been denied. Needless to say it still took awhile for the tab. We could've easily walked out and not be noticed. Highly recommend the service be improved; other than that it was a fun place

They didnt have much in the way of options for vegans, vegetarians or gluten free folks. So one of our family members could only order one thing. I also tried ordering chicken strips (at 6pm) and they were sold out? Seriously? Very odd. I ended up ordering something incredibly plain. The service was friendly enough, but it was just ok for us, nothing I would go out of my way to come back to. This is not a fine dining restaurant, either. When looking on Yelp, its one of the first thing that popped up as fine dining. We were all a bit disappointed. They did, however, have a nice view of the water.

The menu isn't too remarkable, we shopped around in town and were finding very similar menus at almost every restaurant. This is a reasonable walk from the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad and is near Dairy Queen, so just look for that to locate the restaurant.

Lovely aesthetic with views overlooking the peaceful harbor with birds swooping in and around. The interior is clean, welcoming and comfortable. I am not a big burger girl but let me tell you this; we (both) ordered the PBJ Marionberry Burger and it's the best burger that Mr. Wonderful and I have EVER had! (*HE eats a lot of burgers!) I tried to get a good cross-section photo, but I'm not a professional (like John). Anyway, they give you a bunch of wet wipes with this meal because - *YES! The only snafu we experienced was - ordered 1 IPA and 1 blonde and ended up with two IPAs - Mr. Wonderful & IPA = no bueno but he's too nice.

Their draft beer selection is also deceptively simple. They start with Bud Light, which is probably fine for many; but the selection also includes several local brews, all of which are cold and excellent. Exhibit A: The house salad. $4. Those hoping for iceberg lettuce and some shaved carrot will be sorely disappointed when they are presented with a bed of spinach and baby greens, shaved cheese, black olives and a tasty dressing. Exhibit B: Clam Chowder - tasty, simple, filling, great. Exhibit C: The Burger. Nothing short of stellar. I had mine plus bacon - I am not exaggerating when I say this was the best burger I've had in years. The service was friendly, quick and attentive. Perfect.
