My favorite sandwich is the grilled Reuben sandwich with IPA on tap served with the optional fresh coleslaw. Burgers and hot dogs also get good reviews. Different local music groups come in and play in the corner and you can sit close or away and outside if the weather is good. Prices are reasonable and the tap beers and ales are filled to the top top. Views out the windows look over the Florence Marina and boat ramp where local fishermen bring their boats in and out and you can walk around the boats in the marina until dusk when the gates are locked.

It's always great to find a true hidden treasure.

A great view of the harbor, birds, fishing boats, some seals and more. Never crowded with tourists this reasonably priced Hideaway is just what we love about the Oregon Coast. This morning Jay served us wonderful cheesy grits with our omelette and amazing homemade jelly on toast. His coffee is excellent too. Open at 7:00 am this is the place to start our Florence day.

Relax with a glass of wine.

an exceptionally lovely dinner here in florence! it's a tight spot and we had to wait about an hour…read morefor a two top on a Saturday night, but it was well worth it and one of the best meals we had in the PNW. the crab stuffed mushroom starter is a dish I will think about for a while. The caprese was great alongside-- I was already full and still housed the house made focaccia and pesto, truly so incredible. for our main we split the cajun salmon with pico de gallo, mashed potatoes, and side caesar salad. delicious!!! I don't even really like caesar salad that much, and theirs is top notch. they split our plate for an extra $3 and it was plenty after appetizers. lastly, interiors: our table was perfect. they sat us right by the window on the water for sunset. I was only in florence for the night and can tell this is the best spot in town!

We had a very good experience here. In California, when you eat on the waterfront expect to pay…read moreridiculous prices for bad food and bad service. You know what you're paying for, the view.....unless you're willing to pay even more; most likely the food will suck and the service will be bad because your waiter is crazy busy. Positives: -the prices were very reasonable and affordable. We got a lot of great tasting seafood and finished everything we had. The seafood boil was great. The stuffed mushrooms were amazing too. -service was great, our waitress was very honest giving us her honest opinion on what we should order. She recommended we share too instead of trying to sell us an additional dish. -ambiance, sitting outdoors on a waterfront you can't beat that. Overall 5/5 I honestly loved my experience so much that I'm ready to leave California behind. California is overrated, that's my honest opinion being a California native of almost 40 years. I used to love it and think that I would never want to leave. I can't say that anymore, especially recently.

Steak with sweet potatoes. Very over cooked.

I've gone here twice. I will return again. Totally a threat because it's so dang good!!…read more The food-Margarita pizza is tasty but the Pepperoni pizza and Caesar salad are 5 star. Thin crust, not a lot of dough to fill up on. Pepperoni has good rich flavor. Not overloaded with a lot of sauce, which is nice. Large Caesar salad is a giant portion. Enough to share x2. The service-Friendly and attentive. The gal helping our table had rude customers at the other table in the room we were sitting in. She handled it like a champ and never let it ruin our service. The ambiance-Warm atmosphere, lower lighting. They have inside dining, bar seating (bar is beautiful) side room which is a good size and outside like dining with heaters.

The food is normally excellent. I tried their chicken piccata for the first time.. sadly, I was…read moredisappointed. The sauce that goes on that meal should be be made of butter, wine, and lemon and not thick, but it appears that a thickening ingredient was added like cheese, flour or cornstarch, which was very disappointing. We'll probably go back to my usual standby as opposed to venturing out on something. I normally don't order out.

We had the mandarin poppy seed large salad as a starter - shared with my partner. We both chose Salmon with black rice. I must get some black rice for my home cooking. Much better than white rice. The triple berry tart came with a big bowl of ice cream! My only gripe was interpretation of a tart. The tart pastry was gooey rather than crispy/solid. But that maybe due to my culinary references. My partner didn't seem to mind it that way.

That they hire mostly young attractive women to do that. I mean that's totally obvious that this is true. The woman I wrote it to turned my letter into security, and even though I've lost tens of thousands of dollars at 3 rivers they kicked me out from going there for 2 years. I've apologized numerous times, that does no good. The security director doesn't care. Someone tell me I am wrong about what I said? Excluding me for saying this is ludicrous. I want to comeback, but these people are not forgiving at all! I was coming in 2 to 3 times a week for years of time. I also mentioned that the hostesses can get you free nights at the casino, and it's nice, but it causes you to lose more money for staying longer. How is that not true, and why should stating the obvious get me kicked out of the casino for 2 years? Now I go to 7 feathers casino where you have no chance to win ever! This is ridiculous I should be reinstated immediately! Read less Written February 28, 2026 This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
