Where to start…. Amazing experience, these words dont even do it justice. This food was definitely the best meal I’ve ever had. Pork belly 😱 insane flavor bomb in your mouth and the soft texture was unreal, the most unique Cesar salad, steak was perfection and the crab/prawn cakes omg with the most amazing depth of flavor sauces on everything. Let’s not forget the fresh foraged chanterelles with the creamiest buttery herb garlic sauce. Oh and the complementary fresh black sesame focaccia bread was to die for. You can really taste the passion Chef Jack puts into every dish. Oh and the spinach ice cream omg and the most lighted fluffiest cheesecake, I was completely taken back by my experience. My husband and I will be talking about the meal for years to come. Cannon Beach is lucky to have them. Oh yea and the waitress we had Jennifer was just like a friend I hadn’t seen in years, she was very attentive and so friendly and kind. And we absolutely loved our host JJ. Just the most amazing people. The atmosphere was so cozy, warming and very artistic. Loved all of the local art and small dried flowers and candles everywhere. I live 2 hours away and I will be definitely coming back to Cannon Beach just to eat here.

We were lucky to score a last minute reservation during our 2nd Anniversary/Belated Honeymoon trip. I'm so happy we did!
The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with live music and exceptional staff. This is a place that you can tell the chef cooks with their whole heart, putting love into every element.
We started with drinks and their amazing bread, followed with the Duck Confit and the BEST crab cakes we have ever had in our lives. We also ordered the Yellow fin Tuna main as well as the filet of beef cooked as rare as legally allowed served with these amazing potatoes, and just, wow. Everything was perfectly cooked, flavors were vibrant and delicate without being pretentious, and everything was like a work of art.
Do not skip this place!! We can't wait to come back the next time we are in Cannon Beach!!

My wife and I went here for dinner on our anniversary and it was the perfect way to end the night! JJ provided such a welcoming environment with her kind energy. The chef (JJ's husband) really knows how to craft a menu! Our server Andrew was just as welcoming and attentive. The crab cakes were soooo delicious. We also had the chef special halibut dish and it was cooked to perfection and perfectly seasoned/sauced. The tobiko garnish also provided a nice textural flair! Everything was so decadent! Thank you again for the wonderful dining experience! Looking forward to coming back!

Phenomenal experience dining at Bistro. The torn Burrata was a great starter and the citrus halibut special over spinach risotto was amongst the best halibut preparations we’ve had at any restaurant anyplace. Don’t miss the ice cream either - peach basil was a great end to our meal. Service was friendly and timely. We also enjoyed the live guitar music.

After a perfect proposal on the beach at sunset, I made prior reservations for a great dinner spot that could put the cherry on top of a dream night for me and my lady. Bistro was a top choice due to their reputation at the time and boy was I glad I listened to that reputation. Starting off the atmosphere was nothing short of a dream. A quiet, calming, and exclusive feel is exactly what I was looking for and they ticked every box. We were greeted with a warm welcome from JJ, who I later learned was the queen of this establishment. She made us feel right at home. After seating we were quickly taken care of by our AMAZING server Trin. She made the night feel so exclusive, like we were the only people in the whole place, and she helped me a ton with her favorite recommendations for dishes to pick and she helped us capture the night by asking if we wanted photos! Moving into the food, I went with the special of the night, the sturgeon, which had been locally sourced from Coos Bay just that prior Thursday! It was absolutely melt in your mouth good, the texture reminded me of a wagyu ribeye, and the taste was similar to that of a steak as well, and you could tell how fresh it really was. My now fiancé got the linguine and again, you could REALLY tell how fresh it was, and that they live up to the handmade quality they claim. We finished off the late night with some of the orange cream cheesecake which was heavenly. We didn’t feel rushed or made to feel like the staff had somewhere to be even though we were the last table of the night. After we finally finished it all, Trin gave us our final heartwarming surprise of the night by covering our dessert! We couldn’t have asked for a better meal and service. The night was topped off with a high note when the chef himself, Jack, and his wife JJ, the lead hostess, had a long conversation with us about their story and how to Bistro came to be, along with some advice for a newly engaged couple. This entire establishment deserves the utmost respect, praise, and recognition for being dare I say the top food option on the entire trip up US 101. If you’re in Cannon Beach, and can manage to call early enough to get a reservation, consider yourself in for the night of your life. THANK YOU BISTRO STAFF!

Bistro hosted our wedding dinner, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a smoother, more memorable evening. From the moment we arrived, the food and service were absolutely top notch. JJ and Chef Jack are phenomenal hosts — warm, attentive, and incredibly talented. They brought my vision to life with such care and creativity.
A huge bonus: their gluten-free options were a lifesaver for my celiac-intolerant family members. Everyone felt included and well taken care of, which meant the world to us.
Thank you, Bistro, for making our special night so magical. Highly recommend for any special occasion!

My husband and I have been to Cannon Beach many times, but this was our first experience at The Bistro! We had a phenomenal meal! I enjoyed the fresh linguine with chanterelle mushrooms and my husband had the cioppino with the Japanese Options they offered. Our waitress Trinh was Fabulous and the live music a wonderful touch! We will eat there every time we come back to Cannon Beach! Thank you for a fabulous evening with beautifully prepared and scrumptious food and a delightful yet understated and unpretentious ambiance!

Service, food and location were all great. Consistent high quality food. The bribed pork chop was stellar as was the linguine and clams.
Top quality ingredients and inventive dishes. Fun cocktails. Excellent wine by the glass choices. Probably the best halibut dish I’ve ever eaten, with Thai inspired risotto and excellent micro greens. Been coming here for years and they’ve never missed on anything.
