I would like to say this WAS my favorite restaurant to come to when I visited seaside till today. The service was horrible our server was very dismissive and only came to our table a couple times. It was wasn't busy either. Our water had stuff in it. And when my food came out the potato was extremely undercooked I was shocked and my sever Ariah was no where to be found I actually had to get up and ask for a new potato because she never came back after dropping off our food. And when she brought my new potato she said "it's not my fault I don't make the food" like obviously you don't make the food but it is your responsibility as a sever to make sure the food is up to standard. When I asked for a manager there was apparently none on shift. We expressed our frustration with her and she was extremely defensive and didn't let us speak. Didn't take any accountability for the way she treated us. I'm sad to say I'll never be back because of Ariah. I'll also never recommend this restaurant to anyone again.

Oyster Poboy and onion rings
Sean A.

amazing no. but had a great experience. In Seaside with my 3 year old and took her out for dinner. The staff from greeter and sever were friendly with my daughter. As for food the oyster poboy could have had toastier bread but the oysters were pleasant and pro-tip upgrade $2 to beer batter onion rings. Kids fish and chips $10 was two pieces of fish of good size. The best part was the clam chowder. Have I had better yes. But was flavorful and the way I like creamy but not that overly flowered thickened type. I could taste the onion and celery mild hints. And my kid devoured it (and some call me picky) Overall a nice evening out

Crabby Oyster entrance.

Excellent food and service! I had the steamed clams at lunch and it was not too much but rather just the right amount of food. It came with delicious sourdough bread that was perfect for soaking up all the delicious butter/wine sauce that the clams were steamed in. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great tasting seafood!

Kitchen Sink for 2!

The Kitchen Sink for 2 hit the spot! We went saucy and do not regret it. What a variety and fun dining experience!

Crab cakes
Darcy M.

Wow, is all I can say! The food was delicious. We had crab cakes and a combination boil that did not disappoint. Just spicy enough to be perfect! The service was top notch. Will definitely eat here again!

French fries were dry and chewy. Hamburger was underwhelming and also dry. In the positive side, nice atmosphere and music

The food was sub par, as was the service. My pan fried oysters were fair, but the rest of our meal was pretty poor

A fish house for breakfast? Yep! When all the popular breakfast spots have an hour plus wait, try…read moreFinn's. It's right on the main drag in Seaside. We had a group of 7, and this is exactly our situation. It seemed chilly in the main dining room (2nd week of October) so the hostess offered to seat us in the lounge, where they have a nice, toasty fireplace. It was also a little more private. We could be as loud as we wanted but could also hear each other when the conversation became more serious. Everybody was happy with their food. I got chilaquiles, which was pretty good. They have a large selection of breakfast options.

Located in the heart of Seaside, it is considered a higher end restaurant…read more We sat outside at one of several fire pits to have dinner. It was 6:30 pm on a weeknight and the place was only half full. It still took a waitress over 10 minutes to come by, where she asked if we were ready to order dinner. No water, no drinks or apps offered. We ordered a Moscato and a beer sampler along with ceviche. The ceviche was very good with a slight bite to it. The Moscato was flat and obviously opened long ago. The beers were fine. I also ordered a cup of clam chowder that was excellent. Best part of the meal. Our entrees of fried oysters and halibut fish and chips came quickly. The GF felt the oysters were too heavily battered for her taste, the fish and chips were quite good. Waitress came back to check on us when we were almost finished eating. Had to go track her down to get our check. Another restaurant that survives on tourist volume and not quality of product or service. Wouldn't go back - though the chowder was tasty.

Mo's is an Oregon staple. You can find locations all along the coast and throughout the Portland…read morearea, and it's always dependable when you're craving seafood. The clam chowder is a must, especially in the famous bread bowl. We also ordered a Bloody Mary, shrimp and grits, plus the steamed clams! Delicious! We were heading down from Astoria and it was a windy/cloudy day in the PNW. This Seaside location has great views of the beach, so we grabbed a front table and enjoyed people-watching while taking in the waves. There's almost always a line, but this location was worth the wait! Mo's still hits. It's a classic Oregon tradition, and I'll keep coming back.

3 adults visiting the area. Everyone familiar with the PNW area said to eat fresh seafood…read more We happened to be in Seaside at lunchtime and a quick Google search gave us Mo's Seafood! Loved the ambience of the place. No chairs, just benches. The patio had traditional picnic table style where you have to climb in. The tables inside were separate from the benches. Great beach/seaside view from our table. Big wall of windows. Sis ordered cod fish n chips, coleslaw w/ shrimp as the side. She liked both. Mom and I both got the blackened shrimp skewers (×15) with fries, w/ clam chowder as our sides. I've never had clam chowder before. OMG... have I been missing out!? Or maybe it's just good here. I was surprised to find diced potatoes in my cup. And the cream broth had just a hint of fishiness. A cup was the prefect amount. Mom and I both liked the blackened shrimp as well. Loved the seasoning on it (possibly Old Bay??). The cute fish plate had cocktail sauce for dipping. Had a strong horseradish flavor. And the fries had a good crunch to soft potato ratio, but were greasy. Our server was friendly and helpful with menu questions. I wish we knew about this area before and had planned to stay more than an afternoon. I would return to try other menu options.... like the po-boy!
