So just a little difficult to find, this bistro was not oversold by the other Yelp reviews. Located exactly on the dunes walking to the beach. The sunsets are likely beautiful. So ambience gets A Plus. The food was extra special good. We were recommended the fish and chips by Gabe! Our excellent waiter who took care of us like a mother duck . Also not pictured here was a delicious cup of clam chowder. Very hearty and very tasty if you're looking for fresh seafood without all fuss, but with homestyle welcoming, make the drive to Surfside bistro. read more

Had a beautiful three day stay here. Great location and rooms were clean and well stocked for four. Very little closet space as it was all taken up by the water heater. Would have been nice to have an armoire - if you brought anything nice, or even just a simple dress, it would be hanging with the dirty broom. Also no towel racks! Just one hook on the back of the door. Plenty of wall space for one. But overall we enjoyed our stay and would return. read more

Short of staff, one waitress for ten tables and the host kept seating new tables, the one waitress did it all, delivering waters, taking orders, running food, and bussing tables, with no help, now to the food, I ordered a steak the wife had chicken parm, her plate was huge, but not she did not like the sauce and wished the chicken was pounded before breading. I had a steak I would have seafood but did not like the choices. The Strip steak was prepared as requested but came out looking ran over , and was mostly fat and gristle, it was horrible piece of meat that was hard to cut with a knife, I ate what I could, the waitress apologized for bad meal, but I knew it was management's fault and not hers, do better for your staff As we are staying at the hotel, we were hoping to come back for breakfast, but we afraid we would have another bad meal read more

First of all- this is no longer a walk-in deli. This is a sit down restaurant with a walk up coffee counter. Also- the hotel next door provided "vouchers" of sorts, for eating in the restaurant. We used 2 of the three vouchers provided. They are all dated for each day you stay, excepting the last day of checkout. Experience #1-spouse got coffees to go. Everything was fine. Experience #2- dinner, voucher used. Server was chatty and helpful. Dinner was fine, nothing notable but a decent meal. Being able to watch the ocean from our table was nice. Experience #3- breakfast. We chose this restaurant to SAVE TIME. Walk from our room, eat, get going. NOPE- No time saved. We don't know what happened in the kitchen, but we waited too long for our meal, the server eventually started relaying to us that she was working on it. Comped our beverages in the end. But we never even got all our food, and one entree was weird. A kitchen should know how to cook any style of eggs correctly. But after waiting for as long as we did, food just had to be eaten. This was disappointing and frustrating. Wasted a good chunk of our morning. We should have started asking earlier about our order. Hopefully this was a one time thing, but don't hesitate to ask and/or leave if you feel that it is taking a crazy amount of time to process your meal(s). read more

Great food. The surf side fish and Chips were amazing. Seasoned breaded fish. The service was exceptional. Ambience wasn't real cozy but seaside view which was nice. Definitely would come back. read more

Had a wonderful dinner! The ladies had pasta dishes and the boys had fish and chips. Everything was tasty. Our server was incredible. Friendly, chatty and willing to give site suggestions. She was on top of refills. You can't beat the sea side views. read more

This is a bistro/restaurant at the north end of Driftwood Shores resort on Heceta Beach in Florence.We are locals and it was our first time here. We had read that it was under new management and expected a full-on table service menu. Not so, we had to order and pay/tip at the counter before we got our food. We almost turned around and walked out but wanted to try the food. They are trying to get table service back but perhaps there is not enough business to bring it back. We had last stepped in here a year or so ago when it was a deli. Nothing was changed inside. My designer wife said the decor is horrible and screams WAKE ME UP! Tired white paint on the walls and almost zero artwork. There are some pieces of metal artwork in a few places on the walls but that is it. Paint is cheap and could make a world of difference with different colored window trim and wall (and the ceiling looks like it has not seen paint in years). Get some artificial plants and a couple trees. This place needs a marketing wake up call. Get on Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and other social media and advertise. Get something to pull in people, especially locals. This is the ONLY RESTAURANT IN FLORENCE THAT IS ON THE BEACH, FOLKS! Take advantage of that fact! Even Yachats does not have a restaurant on the beach. Ona is as close as they get, and it is on the river delta near the beach. Sell some updated sweatshirts, t-shirts and hats and offer a free drink if they wear your garb on future visits. Alicia took our orders at the main desk up front and was friendly, energetic, and was very engaged with her clientele. She gave us recommendations on our food, and we loved that. We both had the smash burgers and fries, and they were excellent - exceeding our expectations. The burgers had great, fresh flavor, had yummy, melted cheese, lettuce, tomato and pickles. The sesame bun was a perfect vessel and did not fall apart. The fries were double fried and had a delicious crispy crunch. This place screams potential and needs some upgrades to bring in more business. We will be back but would really like to see it become a landmark restaurant on Florences only beach. We wish them well. read more

Surfside Bistro - Awesome two patty smash burger with yummy twice fried fries! Pelican IPA and a gin and tonic in the background. - Delis Near Me - Florence, Oregon

The best location, the worst food. Food looked and tasted like everything was frozen and then warmed up. Vegetables were inedible mush, chicken was bland with a tasteless sauce. No half/half pizzas available (because they are pre-purchased and not made to order?). This restaurant should capitalize on its primo location and adopt a menu that respects the limitations of its kitchen. Also, no parties of two were permitted to be seated at a 4-top resulting in a 20-minute wait even with 3 tables available. Definitely come for a glass of wine at sunset; but go somewhere else for dinner. read more

had really loved this place when it first opened- great view but extremely poor service last 2 times. Probably won't bother trying again. Previously waited forever for a sandwich- this time waited 30 minutes for a "bowl of clam chowder" i foolishly thought ordering soup would make service better. couple next to me arrived 15 minutes after me and got their fried food and soup before me :/ i almost walked out. Then finally when "bowl" arrived it was half full (a cup of soup maybe larger if it is full) turned out to be mostly a potato soup -2 small pieces of clam found) with very large potato pieces requiring one to try to cut up within a spoon. "sourdough" bread was white toast and that took longer than the 30 minutes to get, arriving toasted but not buttered. read more

The food was really good and I totally recommend it a lot I is a perfect romantic spot the has a beach view it is amazing read more

Came in for lunch got seated with my teenage grandkids fairly quickly no one was sitting by the windows. Waited for someone to give us water take are order Watched 2 other tables get seated and orders taken right away, finally had to get up and walk out. read more

Food was subpar, service extremely slow and wait staff lacking customer service skills. $15 hotel coupon was not worth it!

Service was really good! Food is okay, I got a smash burger but not what I expected. But you also get really good views of the beach.

We almost didn't go to the Surfside Bistro because of the reviews, but the hotel gave us a coupon for Breakfast, so we decided to try it!! Glad we did!! Was amazing!! Our waitress "Amanda" was wonderful with a beautiful smile an a great laugh!! Food was fantastic!!! Was surprised how fast our breakfast was served to us!!! Will differently go back again!!!! read more

The food was perfect and warm right before a road trip through Florence . I got the chicken tenders , fried and a soda The service was quick and I could see the beach , the ambiance was great ! read more

Surfside Bistro - Delis Near Me - Florence, Oregon

Found this place by doing a quick Yelp review after touring the Sea Lion Caves. It is on the beach but does not have outdoor seating. It is also located in a hotel, which isn't mentioned in the Yelp reviews. There are only a couple tables but it wasn't crowded (and this was a Saturday during the summer). The food did take awhile to come out, but was surprisingly really good. They also have smoothie, cafe and wine available with their breakfast/lunch options. We sat by the window and could see the dunes and people playing in the water. I am going with 4 stars and not 5 because of the lack of fresh seafood, which is what I think of when picking a restaurant on the beach. The homemade pastries were also amazing...but we forgot to grab photos. read more

The service was excellent. The table with ocean view was nice. The food portions were sufficient. However, they'd run out of English Muffins so the Classic Eggs Benedict were on sour dough bread that was tough. The Canadian Bacon was like thick cut ham - also tough. Too much lemon in the H. sauce.The fruit cup with it was good. My partner had regular eggs, toast, sausage, etc, and it was good. The friendly attentive service was the highlight of this breakfast! read more

Food is good. Service is friendly and attentive. Best view in Florence of ocean. I go there often being local, there are great places to eat, surfside is a favorite. read more

We stayed at the hotel and they gave us a $20 coupon of this restaurant. So we thought why not? We felt so regretful! It was a long wait for the entire meal: getting a menu, placing an order, waiting for food to arrive, and getting the bill. It took 1.5 hours! And the food is just ok. There wasn't any service, to be honest. We will not be back forever for sure. read more

We had breakfast Sunday morning here. Everyone greeted us with smiles. We got a window seat with ocean view & noticed things had been changed around a bit from a deli to a full-on restaurant. The breakfast menu had a lot of options & my 3 egg omelet was delicious! The home potatoes were really seasoned nicely & I told the chef so when he came by to check on everyone. The service was great & prompt. I had an espresso drink made just the way I like it. We definitely will return! read more

Hey, it's not bad. They make decent sandwiches and burgers and even have a good wine selection. What makes this place great is I'm pretty sure it's the only place in Florence where you can eat with an ocean view! read more

Oh, my goodness! What a find! And right here, in our beloved Florence! We've been reading about how good this place is, so we tried it for ourselves, and it did not disappoint!!! Not only was the food divine, but the workers were so exceptionally happy and helpful! Listed from left to right: My brother had the Market Sub with waffle fries; I had the Coastal Cowboy with tater tots; and hubby had the Market Burger with cheese, bacon, and fries. We can't say enough about this place, and we cannot wait to go back! :) read more

We have been here many times but this is the first time under the new management. The chowder was good and seems about the same as it used to be. we ordered the Calamari and were very disappointed. it was greasy and underdone, probably the worst Calamari I have ever had. I hope they maintain high quality and provide food that people want. The location and view are great. read more

This replaced the out dated hotel restaurant. It's eclectic. There is a Market which provides a typical diner menu (eat in or takeout). It also sports a small grocery (think gas station convenience items,) with staple groceries and some fresh produce. The Market also has a good selection of wine and beer. Then there is a bonafide Deli. Not large but a nice selection of pre-made burritos/sandwiches, cut to order meats, cheeses and pastries - the perfect stop to prep for a beach picnic! There are also fun things like kites for the beach and beautiful local artist pieces for sale. We have family here so we'd always had a routine of checking in and then having to go out to grocery store. Tonight was delightfully different. Checked in, then only had to walk across parking lot and brought back some wine, clam chowder, chicken noodle soup (tasted and looked homemade!) and an excellent Caesar chicken salad turned into a wrap. So delicious! Plenty of staff, very helpful and treated us like family. The perfect relaxing end to a long and rough travel day! read more

I had a burger and ended up with bad food poisoning for 5 days.. Thanks Chef. I do like the ocean view but will not be back!

My husband and I got Fish & Chips with both onion rings and fries. We both agreed that the fries were okay as long as they were still hot. The Fish, tarter sauce, slaw and onion rings had ZERO flavor. Our waitress didn't come back to check on us once. Yet there was another waitress at the table next to us talking the entire time we were there. That waitress noticed I picked up my purse and we had pushed our plates away and were waiting for the check.. but she didn't offer to help us or to get our waitress. Finally, I saw our waitress and waved her down. The only reason I gave this review one star was the due to the view. It is a nice view and even though we live close, we won't be back. First impressions are important guys. If I had been the manager I would not have waitress' who ignore the guests. read more

This place is not what is pictured on yelp. It has changed We looked at the pictures online and it is nothing like that now it's more of like a Circle K. There's no sit down you have to order at the counter, it used to be a very, very nice restaurant and it has nothing like that now read more

Best place to sit and relax and watch for storms. Wine, snacks, and a great view of storms.

I can't recall actually the date I was there, but I ordered a Caesar salad with chicken on top. The gallata register, checked in the kitchen and said that the chicken was not thought out. Can you believe it? This was at midday, and the chicken was still frozen. So she said, hold on and I'll check to see what it would take and she came back and said, I'm really sorry I can't put chicken on your salad. What else would you like on? It and I said, shrimp, I didn't want the shrimp, but I wanted something besides lettuce, so they put shrimp on my salad, and it was limp, tasteless and pathetic! I almost sent the whole d*** salad back. I will never ever go there again. Terrible! read more
