Nate 2026 Newport, Oregon…read more Came here based on recommendations from somebody in Bend, Oregon, and a local. I will start by saying I was not impressed. We had a reservation and they took us in a few minutes early and sat us upstairs. We sat near the window that overlooks the harbor and could see it from our table. Very pretty. There is a bar area and other tables that are away from the window that don't have the same view. When we were approached by the waitress, she informed us that they were out of Dungeness crab. Our reservation was at 6:15 PM. Seems a bit odd that a town known for Dungeness crab and the restaurant doesn't have it during peak dinner hours. My husband ordered a cup of clam chowder, and I ordered a cup of the Dungeness crab soup. I loved the creaminess of my soup. However, it was not served hot. Also, there were so many shells in my soup that every bite I had to remove one from my mouth. I do believe that the roux sauce had too much flour and was not mixed well. The clam chowder was not creamy, but had a good flavor. Chunks of carrot and celery. Both soups were served with a portion of bread. The bread was good. We shared the salmon dish. We asked our waitress if we could have the peas on the side as my husband has an allergy to peas. She was quick to tell me that there would be no substitutions. I informed her I was merely asking for the peas to put on a separate dish when brought to the table. She said that she would need to clear it with the kitchen first. Apparently, they approved, as the peas were served on the side. We did enjoy the salmon. It is cooked, medium rare. However, the middle of the salmon fillet was more rare. The buttery sauce was delicious and the asparagus was cooked very well. The mushrooms were delicious. The restaurant is very casual. The outside is not much to look at. The service was fine, but not exceptional. The food was good, but my expectations were so much higher for all of the accolades I had heard prior to dining. They add an automatic tip of 20% to every tab. Then on the bill, they politely ask for an additional gratuity. See the picture of the reason for their 20% gratuity on each bill in the photos that I have attached. I would give this restaurant four stars. It is a B rating for what should be an A restaurant.

I made a reservation for Friday night for my son's birthday dinner, they seated us straight away by…read morethe window on the second floor with a lovely view. The server acknowledged the birthday as soon as we sat down and she was very pleasant. The food was excellent and they served a complimentary dessert with a sparkler for my son. Our reservation was on the later side but it was still busy and people were still being seated when we finished up. I recommend making a reservation and ask for a table by the window so you can see the sea lions. Highly recommended.

If you're planning to visit, definitely try to make reservations. We came on a Wednesday with a…read more6:30 pm reservation and the place was packed. People who came without a reservation were told that there's about an hour wait or they could sit at the bar level on the first floor. There's also a second bar on the second floor where the main dining room is up a flight of stairs. Service was great and we were lucky enough to sit by the window overlooking the sea lions, the water, and the Yaquina Bay Bridge. Food wise, it was mostly 5 star. I'll start with the thing that wasn't, and that was the deviled eggs (you get 3) with a lightly fried shrimp. The shrimp was overcooked, lukewarm, and didn't really add anything. But other than that, everything else was really good. The highlight was the Umpqua oysters on the half shell. We went through a dozen and a half. The oysters are sweeter, no briny. They're not huge but not tiny either like Kusshi oysters. It came with 3 different sauces. Another highlight was the whole dungenous crab...so fresh. Poke salad, garlic brussel sprouts, Yellowtail Hamachi, and Lingcod were also pretty good. If I'm ever in the area, I would definitely return.

The grocery store has a good amount of groceries and sundries, and also some gift items as well. overall, the food was good. I started with the clam chowder. It was a thicker clam chowder, but it was absolutely delicious. Creamy, and they were generous with the ingredients. A very good bowl of chowder. For my main course, I had the combination halibut, king Salmon, and tuna. They were very generous with the portions. The fish was delicious. The halibut and the salmon were tender and juicy. The tuna was just a tiny bit chewier, but it was also very good. The fish was lightly breaded, although a few of the pieces. Were a bit darker than the others. That took away from it just a tiny tiny bit. But overall, successful. The tartar sauce was very good, rich and tangy. Instead of the fries, I finished with the coleslaw. It was not overdressed, and I liked the dressing. It was a sweeter dressing than your standard mayonnaise, but not overly sweet. It was an excellent coleslaw. For all of the quality food I got, the price was very reasonable. I would come back the next time. I'm in town. Thank you!

We rolled into town, tired, and hungry, but also wanting of view of the ocean. Georgie's look like…read morethe best spot to check the boxes. Our waitress was very attentive, I'm going to guess very seasoned in this role, so our service was outstanding. My mother had the Ahi on special. The picture does not do justice for how delicious this was. I'm thankful she let me have a couple bites because it left me wishing I would have selected that dish. But mine came in a close second with the Parmesan crusted halibut. Perfectly cooked, well seasoned, I ate every bite. Prices are reasonable.

We had a nice visit back in May 2024…read more I enjoyed the water view from our table, the clam chowder, and the burrata salad. My husband has several food allergies and was able to get their salmon with rice and veggies. It was very simple but as long as we can get him a full meal we're happy. I think it was a bit more expensive than some other restaurants we visited but we expected that when we walked in (and it is nice to enjoy a view with our meal on occasion, even if the food costs a bit more).

Anytime we're in the Newport area, this is always our first dining spot for their clam chowder; in…read moreSteph's and my opinion, it is the best in town, hands down! As a pro tip, you should always order a side of sliced sourdough bread to go with it; it is the perfect pairing for that creamy goodness. For beverages, they have about a dozen flavored sodas to choose from, and I always get the Cherry Bomb from that list. Other favorites from their menu are the oyster shooters, their famous popcorn shrimp, and The Crew Share. Service is always quick and friendly, whether you are dining in or ordering for takeout. The location offers a variety of seating, including cozy indoor options as well as side and front patio seating for when the weather is nice. If you want to take the experience home, they also have fresh steamed Dungeness crab and a wide variety of other seafood for sale to go as well! You truly can't go wrong when stopping in here for lunch or dinner.

This was another meal during our May 2024 Newport visit…read more I recall the server being a teenager and new to the job. It looks like the salmon dish my husband got had cheese on top (allergy) so I'm guessing we asked for it without the cheese after I snapped a photo and we noticed the cheese. There's a chance it's not cheese, but it looks like cheese... and goat/sheep cheese doesn't seem likely (he can have those... just not cow cheese). My fried oysters & chips meal was good but quite heavy. I think I decided to try the grilled version next time if we return.

Lastly, we got the fan favorite, Fish and Chips. They came out super fresh. I liked the tartar sauce that was served with it and paired really well with the fish. Great experience. Fast service. Definitely recommend!

It was my 2nd Mo's exprience because the first one was in Cannon Beach. I worked at the hotel right next to it. I remember good food and chowder. I brought my daughter and niece here for lunch. They are students at the university in Eugene. I wanted them to experience the original Mo's and have some good food. The chowder is good. We all ate it up. I had fish tacos. It came with 3 big tacos, so come hungry. We also ordered a side of onion rings. I have to say that it was probably one of the better ones we've had in a long while.
