    Stopped in for lunch on our way home from a weekend stay in Yachats. We've been to the Yachats…read morelocation many times, but have never been at this location. I love the indoor seating vibes at this location! The stained glass windows were super cool and the bench booths were comfortable as well. I do prefer the outdoor seating at the Yachats location better though. The enclosed space there with outdoor heaters has a nice vibe. Service was friendly, helpful and attentive. Both places have great service. The ladies that seated us and took our orders were very welcoming. The menus are the same and the food just as good. My husband ordered one of the specials, Salmon Benedict. He talked about how good it was for days. He absolutely loved it! I ordered my usual combo fish and chips. I love the variety of fish...tuna, salmon and halibut. We usually share this entree, but the fish pieces were pretty small, so I ate most of it myself. Their homemade tartar sauce is so yummy! I use it for the fish and fries. I also love their coleslaw. It doesn't look that appetizing, but try it. My favorite part is the chopped crisp apples they add. It's not too saucy either...just the right amount of moisture. Overall, we were extremely happy with our first visit here. We will definitely stop in again. I would definitely recommend!

The fish was absolutely spectacular--fresh, perfectly prepared, and full of flavor. We ordered the Taco Tuesday Fish Taco Trio, which was fantastic on its own, but the real surprise was the "House Salad." Calling it a side almost feels wrong--it could easily stand alone as a meal. Loaded with mandarin oranges, tomatoes, walnuts, and cranberries, it was fresh, balanced, and thoughtfully composed. What truly set the experience apart was the hospitality. Owner Robert Anthony personally stopped by our table to welcome us, which was a top-tier touch and made us feel genuinely appreciated as guests. The staff was attentive, friendly, and clearly proud of what they serve. Amazing food, superior service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We will absolutely be back!

The service and food were excellent. It's a very nice, cozy restaurant, although a bit noisy. We both started with the half Caesar salads. Fresh, crispy amd just the right amount of dressing with a perfect tartness. We also each had wine. I did white, my wife did red. Her Revelry Cabernet from Walla Walla was exceptional. As is our custom, we split our entree. We tried the Ona Pasta and it, too, was excellent. Amazing flavor from the saffron sauce, which we found out is the owner's sauce they have been making since day one. Since it was Valentine's Day (and we had split an entree), we tried the cheesecake. Also excellent flavor and not heavy. It was the perfect end. I risked it and also got a coffee. It is drip coffee, so I was tentative. But it was full bodied, flavorful and not bitter. I found out they use Puff Coffee from Portland, which is roasted in small batches. Well worth it (it was $5, but I got a free refill). All in all, this was a great dinner spot. We would go back!

    Nate 2026 Newport, Oregon…read more Came here based on recommendations from somebody in Bend, Oregon, and a local. I will start by saying I was not impressed. We had a reservation and they took us in a few minutes early and sat us upstairs. We sat near the window that overlooks the harbor and could see it from our table. Very pretty. There is a bar area and other tables that are away from the window that don't have the same view. When we were approached by the waitress, she informed us that they were out of Dungeness crab. Our reservation was at 6:15 PM. Seems a bit odd that a town known for Dungeness crab and the restaurant doesn't have it during peak dinner hours. My husband ordered a cup of clam chowder, and I ordered a cup of the Dungeness crab soup. I loved the creaminess of my soup. However, it was not served hot. Also, there were so many shells in my soup that every bite I had to remove one from my mouth. I do believe that the roux sauce had too much flour and was not mixed well. The clam chowder was not creamy, but had a good flavor. Chunks of carrot and celery. Both soups were served with a portion of bread. The bread was good. We shared the salmon dish. We asked our waitress if we could have the peas on the side as my husband has an allergy to peas. She was quick to tell me that there would be no substitutions. I informed her I was merely asking for the peas to put on a separate dish when brought to the table. She said that she would need to clear it with the kitchen first. Apparently, they approved, as the peas were served on the side. We did enjoy the salmon. It is cooked, medium rare. However, the middle of the salmon fillet was more rare. The buttery sauce was delicious and the asparagus was cooked very well. The mushrooms were delicious. The restaurant is very casual. The outside is not much to look at. The service was fine, but not exceptional. The food was good, but my expectations were so much higher for all of the accolades I had heard prior to dining. They add an automatic tip of 20% to every tab. Then on the bill, they politely ask for an additional gratuity. See the picture of the reason for their 20% gratuity on each bill in the photos that I have attached. I would give this restaurant four stars. It is a B rating for what should be an A restaurant.

It was a thicker clam chowder, but it was absolutely delicious. Creamy, and they were generous with the ingredients. A very good bowl of chowder. For my main course, I had the combination halibut, king Salmon, and tuna. They were very generous with the portions. The fish was delicious. The halibut and the salmon were tender and juicy. The tuna was just a tiny bit chewier, but it was also very good. The fish was lightly breaded, although a few of the pieces. Were a bit darker than the others. That took away from it just a tiny tiny bit. But overall, successful. The tartar sauce was very good, rich and tangy. Instead of the fries, I finished with the coleslaw. It was not overdressed, and I liked the dressing. It was a sweeter dressing than your standard mayonnaise, but not overly sweet. It was an excellent coleslaw. For all of the quality food I got, the price was very reasonable. I would come back the next time. I'm in town. Thank you!

People who came without a reservation were told that there's about an hour wait or they could sit at the bar level on the first floor. There's also a second bar on the second floor where the main dining room is up a flight of stairs. Service was great and we were lucky enough to sit by the window overlooking the sea lions, the water, and the Yaquina Bay Bridge. Food wise, it was mostly 5 star. I'll start with the thing that wasn't, and that was the deviled eggs (you get 3) with a lightly fried shrimp. The shrimp was overcooked, lukewarm, and didn't really add anything. But other than that, everything else was really good. The highlight was the Umpqua oysters on the half shell. We went through a dozen and a half. The oysters are sweeter, no briny. They're not huge but not tiny either like Kusshi oysters. It came with 3 different sauces. Another highlight was the whole dungenous crab...so fresh. Poke salad, garlic brussel sprouts, Yellowtail Hamachi, and Lingcod were also pretty good. If I'm ever in the area, I would definitely return.
