Restaurant O Italian & French Cuisine

Another wonderful dinner with friends! Our server Patricia was amazing and answered all our questions about items on the menu and told us about the steak tips dinner special. That is what I got and it was so delicious, chimichurri sauce, potatoes and broccoli. My husband got the halibut Normandy, his favorite and our friends ordered the grilled halibut and the filet. Everything was cooked perfectly and wonderful flavors. We had some yummy drinks but had no room for dessert. Lovely experience for a special Birthday dinner

Excellent fresh food and would recommend without hesitation. My wife and I shared two different Halibut dinners - one with risotto and one with shrimp. They were both excellent and presented beautifully on the plates. Service was outstanding as well. We got there very late, and were the last people in the restaurant. They never rushed us to leave, and we chatted with the waiter for a while. The food was reasonably priced for the quality.

We had a wonderful meal at Restaurant O! We each had halibut from the specials menu, one with beet risotto and the other with shrimp and truffle mashed potatoes. Outstanding! The amuse bouche was creative and super tasty. Would definitely return when next in Coos Bay!

A repeat visit the food is excellent service very good first part of our dinner . Disappointed our vegetable didn’t come out with the meal was forgotten. Two of us had the same meal they brought one serving of vegetable . Someone ordered another drink and it was forgotten for 20 minutes . Tried pork belly which was fantastic but really one slice of bacon and a ton of mashed potatoes and no veggie til after I was finished the meal . Very different from our last visit but the food is really good .

DO NOT RECOMMEND
Note: Pictures all included

We called ahead of time and they said they had a special vegan menu. Everything that was listed over the call sounded very good in concept but the execution on the other hand was nonexistent.

To start from the very top:
⁃ When the appetizers came out we were very confused because half of the ingredients under the items listed on the menu were not there. For example, the signature appetizer, Zupetta, was supposed to be a focaccia and vegetable plate. It was missing the focaccia and bits of the vegan cheese were ice cold. The local wild mushrooms & duo of orange salad was supposed to come with wild mushroom, oranges, and orange jelly. The wild mushrooms (the literal main ingredient) and orange jelly were not present and the flavors in the dish did not go well together at all. We asked the server and she brought over the mushrooms and focaccia however the focaccia was extremely crumbly and didn’t taste fresh. Note: The sauce for the dish did in fact taste very good.
⁃ For the main dish we had ordered two signature dishes, nano risotto that was supposed to be flavored with truffle, and apple wood smoked vegetables with a mint and pea purée . Once again the risotto was missing the truffle (which the waitress acknowledged was a mistake on the chef’s part). For the apple wood smoke dish, instead of mint and pea puree it just had torn mint and peas on the top. This simple doesn’t work when the vegetables don’t have any flavor of their own. The dish was also extremely oily as seen in the pictures which was surprising considering the vegetables were grilled. The potatoes were burnt and the squash was overcooked and falling apart, the zucchini had grill marks on it but somehow wasn’t cooked all the way through. For what it’s worth, the risotto did taste good even without the truffle.
⁃ For dessert, we ordered a chilled duo of strawberry and jasmine soup, that was supposed to come with a strawberry sorbet. Instead we received ice water with melted sorbet, with chopped mint and a teaspoon of sorbet. No jasmine to be found. It was so gross we didn’t finish it.

To give credit where credit is due, the complimentary pre appetizer with beetroot hummus with tomato and balsamic drizzle, and shot of gazpacho was very good.

When it came to service, we were attempting to wave the waitresses down to get our orders fixed but they were too busy chatting amongst themselves. When it came to the bill, there was a mistake on the bill where they charged us for an extra order of our mains.

I’m not one to critique ambiance however given this was listed as fine dining and the high prices I have to comment the decor was extremely tacky. It looked like the table cloths came from tj maxx, there were random Christmas ornaments and ribbons taped to the wall (we came late August) and the iced soup was served on a sparkly napkin.

To top it off, the chef has put a picture of himself on the wall in which he refers to himself as “master chef O’Neill”. How embarrassing.

Please keep in mind this restaurant is listed and the prices reflect “fine dining” hence why we thought this review was worthwhile.

Save your money and receive higher quality food at Taco Bell. You’ll get less of a stomachache (our stomaches were killing us after all that grease) and your wallets will thank you.

The service here was amazing, our server was super nice and attentive. Unfortunately the food left something to be desired, some was lacking flavor. There was also a hair found in my mixed greens, which was probably my favorite part of my chicken parm dish. Probably won't be going back.

I celebrated the last day I would be 59 at Restaurant O. What a fantastic choice. From the moment we walked in we had a superb experience. Our server Patricia was as amazing as our meal. The wine list is certainly worth exploring and the Châteauneuf-du-Pape topped off the night. A big bonus was the live entertainment. Thanks to all at O.

We have come to golf at Bandon Dunes the last 3 years and we always come here at least two times/trip because the food is outstanding!! The prices are unbelievable for the quality of food.

Love love love this restaurant!! The food was fresh and cooked perfectly. Our server was very friendly and met our every need. We started with a couple martinis and the calamari appetizer. Portions are of normal size which was so refreshing. We ordered the halibut special and papperdelle pasta. Both were so delicious, halibut was cooked perfectly. One of our favorite restaurants in the area, can’t wait to go back and try more delicious menu items. Thank you!’

The beef Wellington was amazing and my wife enjoyed the fresh caught halibut menu. Their desserts are all delicious as well. I especially loved the three ways crème brûlée
