Amazing experience, our host was also our waiter and chef! He was outstanding in his skills and always had a smile on his face. Highly recommend this restaurant for its food, ambience, and service.

The Bistro is always a special place to have a wonderful meal. Last night's dinner did not disappoint. The Filet was excellent, as was the appetizer. Our server/chef was a gracious host. We will continue to time our trips to Manzanita to coincide with Neah Kah Nie Bistro's open days!

We have enjoyed this restaurant over the years. Something has changed. The restaurant had very little if any heat. We wore our coats in the restaurant and were still cold. They did not have a beer selection, nor did they have the rose' I ordered. My husband also had to make a second wine choice. Not the best experience for Valentines Day. Reservation rules say we have 90 minutes for our dining experience but it took us that long to be served. Restaurant was understaffed with two people serving about 20 people. A couple came in after us, ate and left, while we were still waiting for our entrees. Staff seemed indifferent to us and how long we waited for our food. Food was good when it finally arrived. We hope this restaurant will be successful but changes need to be made before we will be back.

We made a reservation for my husband's birthday and showed up to a closed and empty-of-people restaurant. Apparently they were not open on that beautiful, sunny day but they made no mention of it on their voicemail nor on there website. There wasn't even a sign on the door. Super frustrating.

Score could not reflect a true review. We made the reservation but the restaurant was not open upon our arrival. Ps. It was our 24 th anniversary. So it will always be a night to remember 😊

We booked a reservation via OpenTable which was confirmed the day before only to arrive at the restaurant to find it was closed. We called several times and ultimately left a message. If they are closed for the month of January, their website doesn't reflect that and they are still accepting reservations. Incredibly frustrating and disappointing.

Place was closed. I was able to make a reservation since nothing ever referenced it being closed. They even confirmed the reservation, but when we showed up, it was dark and locked. Apple Maps even showed them being open. This should be fixed. Wasted trip.

Absolutely amazing food, chill calming vibe in the day time and candle lit atmosphere at night. The porch is so cute and even when it starts to get cold the outside seating is undercover and offers propane fire heaters. The staff has always been amazing, easy going and kind but still have the demeanor that they are in a higher class environment. I also worked here for one summer a few years ago and it’s just as amazing behind the scenes as it was being a customer for awhile before I applied. Will forever be a favorite of mine and always look forward to eating there when I visit.

Everything was absolutely incredible! We had the oyster stew, wedge salad, clams and lemon cake. Towards the end of the night, our sweet waitress shared with us that the owner uses all of his mother’s recipes. If you’re visiting, make a reservation and go! You won’t regret it!
What a coastal gem this little bistro is! The atmosphere is warm and cozy with just a little sparkle, and the food, service and wine selection are all top notch. Everything we ordered was high quality, seasoned perfectly and exceeded our expectations. We started with the House Wedge Salad, followed by their family recipe of Roasted Garlic with Whipped Feta which was melt in your mouth amazing and not to be missed. We’ll order two of those on our next visit. For entrees we had the Mushroom Ravioli with Marsala wine sauce, Filet Mignon with Bordelaise sauce and King salmon with Romesco sauce, which were all outstanding! I love a great sauce, especially when it’s wine and garlic forward. I would go so far to say that our meals at the bistro rival anything we’ve had at the best restaurants in Portland. If you’re within driving distance of Manzanita, the Neah-Kah-Nie Bistro is guaranteed to be memorable dining experience and a highlight of your trip to the coast. Thanks so much to Eisha and his staff for a beautiful evening! ❤️
Vegetarian options: They have very good vegetarian options available and will modify entrees when possible.

Food was good quality but portions were unbelievably small. Our main dish should have been a side dish or starter. Oysters were room temperature, not cold as should be. And $5 for very small portion of bread was uncalled for.

We've been enjoying this Bistro for several years. Always a great meal and wonderful service. The whipped feta with roasted garlic appetizer is a favorite. We miss the chicken Marsala dish but the mushroom ravioli was reminiscent of the delicious Marsala sauce. A very lovely evening! Thank you.

A delightful little surprise in Manzanita. Our waiter was hospitable and well informed. He accommodated an extra guest with aplomb. The food, dungeness crab over risotto and true cod, were excellent.

This is a hidden gem on the coast, everything was fantastic! If they had a full bar it would be a plus, but we had some excellent wine so didn't really miss having a cocktail before dinner.
