    The Mer-Lore cocktail
    Ryan C.

    This was a fantastic dinner! We came in after a day of sight seeing along the coast. Out drinks were created by one of the kitchen staff, and had the perfect amount of flair. My shrimp and grits was unique and delicious. Creamy grits, tender shrimp, and perfectly complimenting veggies. A great little seaside establishment that will add perfectly to your Oregon Coast itinerary.

    Stumbled upon this place after a decent hike near Cape Lookout. Sat outside in their protected from wind patio (so didn't see interior decor). Food was tasty. A particular note on the special of the day - a flatbread with smoked salmon. It was lively with a smattering of lemon zest. I'm going to recreate at home! Service was snappy - young staff eager to take your plates away. I forgot to photo the clam chowder. It was very good.

    We been coming here for years and love coming sharing their Calamari salad!!! The salad is always so fresh, herby, and spicy!! We also got their prawn pasta special and it was very hearty and buttery.

    Honestly I didn't even know Netarts existed but I somehow took a wrong turn on my way to Cannon Beach and it ended up being the right place to be. Nestled along the bay is The Schooner restaurant, which is a charming place to spend an hour or so munching on some good food. The warm lighting, ample seating, and wood interior makes it a cozy place to spend some time, and the staff are incredible. They're highly attentive, able to make you feel like you're the only customer in the restaurant even when you're not, and will get you your food fast! Very generous portions of food for what you pay. Personally felt like the fish had more breading than fish and needed more flavor, as did the Cole slaw, but definitely cooked the right away. Didn't leave me feeling super greasy and like I had to pass out on the beach after. Felt good enough to go for a jog!

    Wonderful dinner and drinks on a gorgeous Netarts evening. We are camping nearby and didn't want to travel far for dinner the day we arrived. We decided to go to Schooners; we've been before but this time the food was better, the cocktails were yummy and the service was exceptional! My husband ordered traditional fish & chips and I went with the cod and a side salad. While both options were great, the fries were a little on the blonde side and could have used a few extra minutes in the fryer. My lemon drop was amazing with a sugar rim! Our waitress/bartender offered excellent, friendly service and while the restaurant was full, the staff handled it like pros! It is a little pricey, but not more than most coastal eateries. You can't beat the view. We will be back!

    The best thing about this place is the view of Netarts Bay. Unfortunately, everything else, not so much. My fist tip off was AC/DC blasting in the diningroom. That should have been a clear warning. Mu friend and I each ordered drinks and let's just say that my Cosmopolitan left a lot to be desired. I found it undrinkable. When I asked fir a replacement, the server retorted, 'well, its what you ordered.' I asked for a Manhattan and came to the table in an effervescent state due to it being shaken to near death. I ordered steamers as an app and they were delivered with our entrees. Our server never checked in with us and my guess is, he had to work both the bar area and bar deck area. My friend shared that her crab cakes, salad, and drink were fine. He charged me for the awful drink and never asked us about how our meal was. Never coming here again.

    We went for a family girls vacation for Mother's Day! We stayed at a nearby house that recommended the establishment- I was super impressed!! Great views, staff friendly, food came promptly and was delicious!! The best part I wasn't shocked by the bill for 5 of us it was $200 - and, considering most of us had seafood I think that was a bargain!! We will definitely revisit if vacationing in the area again!!

    Wood-Fired Flatbread
    Don M.

    Service was spot on! I had the Oyster Rockoyaki x2, they were so delicious had a 2nd order of them. The clam chowder was creamy and lots of clams. Ordered the wood fired flatbread they have a rotating special on these. If you're on the Oregon coast I would recommend eating here.

    Fish and chips!

    We've been visiting this area for years, and we still love their food. We arrived on a busy Sunday night, with a 30-minute wait list. We enjoyed playing corn hole on the extended patio, and we got called in. My husband didn't care for the table near the kitchen and he went out to talk to the hostess. And that's where things went wrong. They did offer one other table, but we decided we preferred to be outside. Instead of just putting us back on the wait list, the younger hostess made a smart remark about we should have told her that sooner, and actually started chastising my husband for making her job harder. She wasn't wrong / I was hungry and a little miffed at the man myself - so I walked away and waited in the car. Turns out, she assumed we left and never put us back on the list, so after waiting another half-hour, we checked and she was going to just put us back on the wait list. So we left. I was really disappointed that this was handled poorly - I accept our part in the miscommunication, but the hostess certainly was not professional or helpful.

    Fantastic location on the water with a big covered outdoor seating area that is heated when it's cold out. Also has indoor seating. Excellent menu with options for everyone. We had all kinds of dietary restrictions in our group and everyone had a satisfying experience. Service was prompt, friendly and attentive. And they seemed to be well staffed for the busy summer crowds. The only thing I found less than impressive was their clam chowder. It was flavorless, gloppy and lukewarm. Given the seafood themed menu they deserve to have a better chowder.

    The steamer clams in a white wine sauce.  Mmmm good.
    Always H.

    The view was amazing and the Bar staff were great. There is a sign outside that says to wait to be seated or you can just go into the bar and seat yourself. A little dark, but good. Food was good and hot and the drinks were well made.

    My family and I were in town on vacation and were looking for some seafood. After a little bit of…read moreYelp research, we decided on The Fish Peddler. I'm almost a little sad that we picked this place first, because I don't know that any other place we eat at is going to be as good or better. This is a combination restaurant / fish counter. Don't let that discourage you from eating there. When we walked in, there was one table left. Always a good sign when a place is busy, especially during the off season. There's generally a reason why the other places are empty. In addition, there was no smell from the fish counter. A sign that everything is fresh. Honest, you really don't even notice there is a counter there once you sit down. We went with a half-dozen oysters on the half shell, Dominic's Fish and Chips, which is the fresh local catch of the day. Today it happened to be Rockfish, always one of my favorites, the Shrimp and Chips, and The Cioppino, which is a seafood stew. This has clams, mussels, fish, prawns, and crab in a tomato sauce. There's a decent selection of beer as well. First, I want to say these were some of the best oysters I've had, fresh out of Willapa Bay. We should have ordered a dozen or two. These came with some lemon and fresh horseradish. Try the horseradish! The oysters tasted great with nothing on them or with a little fresh horseradish. The fish was fried perfectly, golden brown, not oily, and not overcooked. You can easily tell this was fresh Rockfish. The shrimp were fried perfectly as well. The Cioppino was amazing! Again, all the seafood was prepared perfectly. But it was the flavor of the stew that really stood out. This is a dish not to be overlooked and tastes great on a cold day. The food here is outstanding! Though this is a combination market / restaurant, the atmosphere felt comfortable and inviting. The service was great as well. Everyone here was friendly. If you're looking for some great fresh seafood, the Fish Peddler is a must eat and there are plenty of items on the menu that can bring you back multiple times. Honestly, I hope we come back here before we leave town.

    Great food!!! Service was great and quick! Really good…read moreChowder, I'm picky and will be back for more. We had the Halibut fish and chips! Fantastic! Halibut was firm, great flavor, juicy, and awesome breading. They are my favorite place for chowder and fish and chips!

They updated a few things, moved the office towards the front, and it just seems to be running really well (do I dare say better?). Everything else is great! We rented a boat and went crabbing. Only got 3 crabs this time, but it was still fun. It's just the idea of being out there that makes it so fun! We went on a rainy day so could not enjoy the view from our site since we had to stay inside the trailer. It's okay, it was still a great visit. I look forward to going again! Ha!

Between the…read moregorgeous weather, the great seafood, and the amazing view, it was a total highlight of our trip. One of the best parts of the experience is that you get to pick out the exact crab you'd like; they are then cooked and cleaned for you right on the spot! They also offer clams to steam and oysters that you can shuck yourself if you're looking for a variety. After selecting your crab, you head inside the shop to pick out chips, canned sodas, or something from their variety of beers and sauces to pair with your meal; just don't forget to grab your butter, garlic, and lemons before paying! They also offer oyster shooters in a souvenir shot glass, though be warned that they are served frozen; you may find yourself finishing your meal with them instead of starting with them by the time they finally thaw. The crab was obviously super fresh; truly, nothing beats eating it fresh out of the pot! We also noticed they have a number of back-in RV sites overlooking the water; that is definitely something we'd consider for a future stay. If you're looking for an authentic, hands-on coastal experience, this is the place to be!
