    This place was delicious. They accommodated us sitting outside, but we had to remind someone we were out there waiting to be served. I had the spam musubi, which is a must try if you come here. The Ahi poke was also fresh and delicious.

    Cute place Nice sized menu - lots to choose from Staff seems lovely Big money California roll 5/5 Ice cold beer House fried rice- was very savory, but not a good choice for me. Seemed too busy-- but I recognize others may love it!! Decor seems fun !

    Great vibes, music, bar, staff and food. It's a small place with beach shack vibes, walls and ceiling colorfully decorated with surfboard, flags and other treasures. Especially nice to see a reconstituted sovereign flag flying. The wait was a bit long but it was so worth it. I really recommend the Mai tai and Pele's chicken. Generous portions and great grill flavor. The staff really made the place shine. Mahalo!

    Amazing experience, kind staff, authenticity 10/10. Couldn't be happier with my food.

    My friends and I had lunch at the Hukilau and enjoyed it. The portions were gigantic and filling, and my order came with ribs and prawns. It was a little bit on the expensive side, but so was everything else in that region. The interior of the restaurant made you feel like you were in Hawaii - it had surfing decor and a surf town vibe to it. The service was good - the food came fast!

    Music and food. Don't drive past, if you do, turn around. You have nothing else to do that is more important. Staff is great and love this place they represent. We come here every time we are on the coast. Loco moco is perfect. Drinks from the bar are beach perfect.

    Best food hands down!!!! Uncle Mikey was so hospitable and inviting! We felt like family. Our bartender/server was equally amazing! Must visit to have the Korean ribs!!!

    Excellent and festive pina colada and rum punch to celebrate my birthday!

    The food is exceptionally good! It's a tiny place but has a bar for those who want it. Service was slow but worth the wait.

The two…read moretimes before we were part of a group of friends and sat in the large back room which accommodated us well and was quiet enough for conversation. We all loved it. Last night we celebrated our 45th anniversary and sat in the main dining room, which is very pleasant. We had the most wonderful waiter; he and the owner seem to work together seamlessly to make your drinks and take care of your every need. We started with the Crispy Brussels Sprouts which was an appetizer I remembered fondly from a previous visit. I'm usually not a fan of that vegetable, but I would order them time and again! I chose the Kismet Tips which was delicious, and my husband had the Petite Beef Tenderloin Steak with Mushrooms and his was done to perfection. Sides of vegetables and mashed potatoes were good too. We shared New York Cheesecake with fresh strawberries for dessert. It was made fresh in house by the owner and it was a lovely ending to our meal. I'm an experienced home baker and cook so I will admit, I'm sometimes hard to please; no worries at Kismet. The food is excellent from start to finish, and the service impeccable. We live in Florence, but we will certainly be back and we'll likely bring family when they come to visit. This restaurant is such a gem, and not to be missed.

Every plate tastes like it was prepared with pride, and every bite reminds you why coastal towns have such a loyal following. The hospitality is just as memorable as the meal. The staff makes you feel like a regular, whether it's your first visit or your fiftieth. Add in the option of relaxing indoors or enjoying the ocean air outside--where your four-legged companions are just as welcome--and you've found more than a restaurant; you've found an experience. If you're passing through Yachats, don't waste time wondering where to eat. This is the stop. In fact, your only problem will be realizing there isn't another place for miles that delivers this combination of incredible food, genuine hospitality, and laid-back coastal charm. Huge applause to the chefs, staff, and owners for creating one of the Oregon Coast's true hidden gems.

We were told that Ona was the chef's restaurant and wanted to come check it out. Appearance - We recommend sitting outside on their patio. Since it was cool they had the heaters running and on warmer days they can open up the garage doors. Taste - I ordered the crab cakes and that is what is truly giving this a 5/5!! I wish I ordered more. They were so yummy! I also got a bowl of the clam chowder that was great. My husband ordered the albacore steak sandwich and said it had a large piece of fish with good seasoning but mentioned he wouldn't order it again. We happened to be there during happy hour and wanted to try oysters for the first time. Let's just say it was a taste of the ocean and will be our last :/ Oysters are just not for us! I've heard that oysters can be seasoned and spruced up to help add more flavor, but these were not. I wonder if it would have helped us enjoy them more?
