    Game sausage (tasting menu) with delicious vegetables
    Michael P.

    What a great restaurant, let alone in Nye Beach (Newport area)! This is fine dining with outstanding food and service but in a relaxed atmosphere. My wife and I celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary here and had just a great time. First of all, let's get the logistics out of the way. Zach is very careful to enforce the health and safety COVID precautions - gloves, masks on both sides, LEGITIMATE table spacing (look, I've been to several restaurants in 2020 that claim to have table spacing and many of them either barely achieve the 6 foot distancing are flat out DON'T even make it six feet), sanitizing between guests. Secondly, the food is just great. You won't find these dishes just anywhere. I had a great elk and bison sausage dish with some kind of root vegetable that resembled broccoli but wasn't (sorry, Zach, I should have remembered!) that was just delicious! My wife had the salmon cake and was equally happy with her entree. The crab (cake) appetizer was absolutely outstanding, too. Not full of bread crumbs. Just delicious local crab, YUM. Also the bread is delicious, with soft warm butter, and gluten-free. In fact, Zach doesn't even make a big deal out of it but everything's gluten-free in the first place, no need to modify any dishes if you're on a gluten-free diet. That is PRETTY RARE! Finished off with a great hazelnut bread pudding with fresh ice cream. Everything is sourced locally, so it supports the community and the supply chain. And the local St. Innocent Pinot Gris was just great and a perfect complement to the food. Given that we were on a road trip and had put our faith in an important wedding anniversary dinner, and didn't know for sure what to expect, we were just WOWED by this place. And Zach's Bistro is not ONLY for special occasion dining, either. While we were celebrating a wedding anniversary, I would feel totally comfortable here dining casually as well. Zach provides outstanding food and incredible service, but not in a stuffy or stodgy way. On top of that, I had no problem with the wine or food prices. We enjoyed a wonderfully paced, delicious meal here. The fact that Zach can easily accommodate dietary restrictions and needs is just another huge bonus. I would even go as far as to say this is destination dining. If you are even reasonably close to Newport, OR, I would make a point of dining here. I'm upset with myself for not having dined here until now, and I assure you we'll be back and will make a POINT to return.

    2 egg breakfast with lyonnaise & bacon
    Sunday W.

    What a neat, quaint restaurant. I loved everything! I won't lie...when we saw this place, I wasn't sure if I wanted to try it out (not because there was something wrong with it) but my partner said let's check out the menu which was on the window. I was a bit disappointed that brunch was being served & not the yummy offerings I'd read prior to entering but all my fears were laid to rest very quickly. I had the 2 egg breakfast with farm fresh bacon (I could taste the difference) & lyonnaise which were these super decadent pan fried buttery potatoes. The meal also included a very thick cut of some toasted bread with olives in it...yummy! And a side of butter for the bread & some delicious fruit spread. Everything was cooked fresh so make sure you have a dining partner you can talk to. It is a bit of a wait but well worth it! Everything was absolutely wonderful & I will be back for dinner at some point! Oh, and our chef/waiter was friendly & very attentive!

    Please refer to my pics below. The food was pricey but good-20%gratuity is included automatically with the bill. Bill for one was $38 for a crabcake entree and water. The floor was dirty and I sat on a dirty patio with extension chords hanging and xmas lights. The atmosphere was so bad with dirty old curtains and carpet. Disgusting.

    Loved the cozy feel!

    Today I met a college friend at Zach's for brunch. I am visiting in town and she looked up a few spots, so we chose to meet here. It looked super cute and the menu choices for today sounded awesome. I was seated and ordered the French press coffee to share. So good! For my meal, I ordered the 2 eggs/bacon meal. I substituted bread for potatoes and got a side of Brussels sprouts because I'm obsessed with them. My girlfriend got the eggs Benedict with bacon, but I guess he ran out, but added prosciutto. Our meal took a little bit because Zach was taking orders and cooking I'm sure. I was so impressed he was doing all of that, and believe me, it was worth the wait. He has culinary talent for sure! Eggs perfectly cooked over medium, bacon crisp, potatoes were large, thick slices, and the Brussels were outstanding! I saved the second egg and 2 potato slices for breakfast tomorrow. Food so fresh and clean- you leave feeling satisfied not stuffed. Overall, an A+ meal and a great, cozy atmosphere. I told my in-laws to definitely visit here soon!!

I recommend making a reservation and ask for a table by the window so you can see the sea lions. Highly recommended.

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.

I've eaten in quite a few places on the west coast that claim to serve Irish food and I have always been unsatisfied with the authenticity. So I was very surprised and impressed with the food served at Nana's. My experience started with the ambiance. It truly had the feel of a real Irish Pub. This was followed by the hospitality. Our server was amazing. She had great menu suggestions for the people who were eating with us. They have eaten a wide variety of Irish food. She made an excellent selection as to the Irish beer that would best suit my palate. They have several Irish beers on tap. I chose the Smithwicks Red Ale. It was delicious and very enjoyable. Now for the food. Many years ago I enjoyed Steak & Stout Pie in a Dublin Ireland pub. It was really good. I've had it in several locations here back home but it just wasn't the same. So when I spotted the Steak & Guinness pie it peaked my interest and I ordered it. Well I definitely was not disappointed. More so it was like reliving an old pleasant memory. The Steak & Guinness pie was spot on. Every bit as enjoyable as the one I tried in Dublin. I very highly recommend trying this establishment if you're traveling to or through Newport. You will not regret enjoying the food and the experience.

He had some cool music groovin', some old vinyls alongside the bar, and with my Pliny in hand, I wanted to spend the rest of the day here chatting up the locals. If I lived in town, you'd probably find me here more often than the Pelican. You can always find fresh Russian River beers on tap and for sale in bottles here. Ask me how I know? Why don't you ask them? :) The wine is really well priced, lots of Cabs and Syrahs, (try the Reversal Syrah!) and as they said on their menu, good for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday night drinking.... We noticed Chenin, Shawn's wife wasn't around that day and found she was at the PSU Farmer's market where they attend all summer. Shawn also told me you can find them Thursday evenings at another Farmer's market in the Pearl in Portland. Sweet. As much as I love coming to Pacific City, it's also nice to know we can find their wine in Portland in the summertime since they don't sell it retail in stores. An hour later, (maybe two?) we left smiling with two bottles of wine, the Basket Case Syrah and a red table wine in hand, and two empty pint glasses of Pliny on the bar.

    Rainy Day, Great Bar Seat, and One Memorable Meal…read more It was a cold, rainy Oregon afternoon when I stumbled into Castor, and I'm glad I did. There happened to be one open seat at the bar, which is my favorite place to dine when traveling. Sitting at the bar lets you talk story with the bartender, learn the menu, and watch the cocktails come together. If you're eating alone, I highly recommend grabbing a seat here. The bartender was friendly, easy to talk with, and clearly knew both the menu and the craft behind the bar. One thing that stood out right away was their use of fresh local ingredients, which really shows up in the flavor of the dishes and drinks. I started with the Golden Manhattan, made with a pecan-infused bourbon that was fantastic. It had a rich, slightly nutty flavor with warm vanilla notes and just the right touch of sweetness. Smooth, balanced, and a great way to kick off the meal. Alongside that I ordered the chorizo clam chowder, which brought a creamy base with just the right amount of spice from the chorizo. Comfort food with a little personality. For dinner I switched gears and ordered the Creole Sour. This one really stood out. Bright citrus up front, a smooth bourbon backbone, and a subtle spice note that tied perfectly into the Creole theme. It had that classic sour balance, tart, slightly sweet, and refreshing without overpowering the drink. Dinner was the gumbo with hot bread and butter, and it delivered. Deep flavor, a nice slow warmth from the spice, and hearty enough to make the rainy Oregon weather feel like part of the experience. To finish things off I kept it simple with a neat pour of Ben Holladay, which made for the perfect nightcap. The staff were welcoming and relaxed, which made the whole experience feel easy and comfortable. This is the kind of place that works whether you're dining solo, meeting friends, out with someone special, or grabbing dinner with a group. The price point landed right where it should be for the quality of food, cocktails, and service. If you're in Corvallis and can grab a seat at the bar at Castor, take it. Order a cocktail, settle in, and enjoy the ride. It turned a rainy afternoon into one heck of a meal.
