21 Best Seafood Restaurants in Newport

“My friend and I had lunch here on April 4th. The menu has so many interesting dishes it was hard to decided what to order. We had the small plate scallops, a dozen grilled oysters and shared the black cod salad. Everything was fantastic and prepared perfectly. I had their specialty "for a cause" cocktail Guardian Forest; I loved it. My friend had their bloody mary and said it was good. I was not bothered at all by the 20% add for service. The service was great and the food was delicious; so I would have tipped that anyways. I loved that there is fresh fish market and they also sell other products they make there, like the bloody mary mix, salad dressings, tartar sauce, salamon spread, etc. I look forward to returning again.“

“Food, view and service outstanding but their remodel is stunning. The workmanship is a dream. Worth seeing.“

“Hey, this Mark. I am a real person and this is an honest review. I first discovered Sharks years ago on a camping trip on the Oregon coast. They were on the waterfront loop in Florence then. I visited every time I was in the area.

One day I went there and they were gone. Heartbreak. I just rediscovered them up the highway in Newport. I made an hour drive to eat there now.

It’s the same owners, same great food, and same friendly service. If you’re ever in the area and love sea food, visit them. You’ll thank me later!

If I were ever on Death Row, I would ask for everything on the menu as my last meal. If you visit, tell them Mark sent you.“

“We stopped by for lunch during our search for the best fish and chips on the Oregon Coast. Started with a small cup of clam chowder that was perfect. Super thick and flavorful, hot, fresh and containing nice chunks of clam. A big Yes to that one. Next we enjoyed the Coconut Prawn appetizer. The menu describes the sauce served with this item as a curry, but we did not get notes of that while enjoying it. Usually restaurants smash the prawns flat which IMHO dries them out during cooking. These were butterflied and allowed to retain natural shape then coated lightly and deep fried. Delish just like that, but NO - they add a bed of cabbage, sprinkle fresh coconut and chopped mango chutney on top! No sauce needed- they were amazing. Hubby doesn't even like coconut and he loved this dish. We could have ended there but then our rock fish and chips arrived. Beautiful medium ( nicely uniform) pieces of fish, lightly battered and cooked to crisp perfection- thoroughly enjoyed every bite of the fish. He really enjoyed the 'chips', I prefer wedge cut or square. The coleslaw was not favored by either of us, I think more traditional ( mayo and vinegar based) goes better with the dish. I would describe it as Asian inspired, but didn't go deep. All in all a strong 4.7 out of 5 and we will return when in Newport.“

“Of note, this Mo's does not do fried food and doesn't have the standard Mo's dishes. That said if you want more seafood options and a more seasonal menu, this is the place to go. Watching people unloading and cleaning fish and oysters just outside the window is definitely a plus

Vegetarian options: It's all seafood, so plenty of pescatarian food, but no vegetarian food“

“The freshest cioppino we’ve had from San Fran to Seattle. Chock full of the freshest PNW finest catch in a sumptuous tomato broth.

They are the touted home of Oregons best chowder but it all tastes like baked potato soup to this Texan 🤣

We had great service by Char-Lee, who kept connected to us while juggling 4 tables sat at once. Kitchen was super clean and we love that the historic harbor location is still family owned. Don’t miss this at Port Newport.“

“We loved, loved, loved our waiter. And the hostess was awesome. However, given that we had a reservation and had to wait 30-40 minutes past that reservation time, standing around, UGH. That was difficult with a group of 8 and only a few chairs for waiting and them being filled. The food was awesome of course! And, we had our BEST EVER waiter at LO this visit. A super nice guy, who was friendly and funny -- that has not always been the case with prior wait service making you feel unwelcomed -- this was quite different this time and it was really nice! We brought 6 people with us from out of town, and other than the long wait (even though we had reservation) - the night was great and everyone enjoyed the food tremendously and of course, we will continue to bring our out of town guests, but I hope the reservation can actually work out where we can be seated within 10-15 minutes of reservation, not 30-40. THE HOSTESS IS AWESOME. What a great attitude and patience working the front desk! Wow...“

“love the staff and the food is always filling and delicious!“

“The seafood rigatoni was very good, with great flavors! The chicken sandwich however was very dry. Unpalatably dry chicken. The waiter was friendly and on top of things, food came out quickly.“

“The Chowder Bowl is a fantastic place with awesome people working there! The food was delicious and awesome! I wanted the best clam chowder on the coast and was told to go to the Chowder Bowl and they truly delivered! Thanks to everyone there and can’t wait until the next time we go!“

“Newport on a Tuesday night. We drove to five restaurants before finding Zach’s Bistro. Although He was sold out of almost everything, we were able to get the most amazing dinner ever! Even my five-year-old grandson loved the food. I had the fish cakes, with artichoke and dill. Oh my goodness! It was amazing. My daughter had perfectly cooked salmon dinner. Desert was an awesome chocolate, berry and browned marshmallow. I am so happy we stumbled on this fine dining restaurant on the edge of Nye Beach area in Newport Oregon!“
