“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!“

“If you are looking for the best menu in Newport, be sure to visit The Anchor. Pleasent atmosphere, friendly, personable people and great local menu. Service was quick, and our entrées were delicious. Plating and portions were perfect. This is a family-owned organization with the best dining in Newport.“

“Just all around great, food , fast and friendly service. Can’t eat the prices🙂🙂“

“Last Saturday, while on the Oregon coast, Kim and I stopped in at Pacific Kitchen at Nye Beach for a spot of lunch. Pacific Kitchen is well located on the beach and quite attractive. The interior is nice and welcoming. We opted to sit on the patio, as the day was quite nice also. We weren’t extremely hungry, so we opted for light meals, referred to as ‘bites’ on their menu. Kim ordered the calamari. It was well cooked, tender, tasty, and an adequate portion. Their red Aioli sauce is quite nice, and quite flavorful without being overpowering. We both enjoyed the calamari. I made the mistake of ordering the Dungeness crab cake with greens and red aioli sauce. It is described as being served with “greens and red aioli”. I suppose, technically, that is true. Let me tell you about my sixteen-dollar crab cake. When my plate was brought to me, I kinda felt sorry for the poor little critter laying there all by itself with three tiny, tiny leaves of something green under a Panko breaded patty slightly smaller than a York Peppermint Patty and about the same thickness. I THINK it tasted good. The serving was so small that it’s hard to tell for sure. I cut it into thirds and had three tiny mouthfuls. There were no lumps of crab in it, only shreds, and the total serving, by my wife’s estimation, was about 2 tablespoons of crab mix. It worked out to five dollars a bite (not counting the 3 tiny greens and the 1 ounce serving of aïoli). Returning to Bend, a quick trip to Costco revealed that they were selling 1 pound packages of Dungeness crab meat for twenty-nine dollars. That works out to about a dollar and ½ an ounce. I’d be very surprised if there was an ounce of crab meat in my Patty that I paid sixteen dollars for. I was more than a little offended and felt very ripped off. I mean, couldn’t they have thrown a tomato or a little dab of cottage cheese or an onion ring or a French fry onto the plate for their sixteen-dollar price? When they called it a bite, they were definitely not kidding. I would’ve walked away quite hungry (as well as quite irritated!) had not Kim offered to share her calamari with me. IF we ever return there, I will definitely not order crab cakes. I’m just grateful that I didn’t order the thirty-two-dollar meal that had two of these crabcakes on it. I would’ve been twice as pissed.“

“Amazing food and baked goods wonderful service! Home cooked food sprinkled with a bit of fancy! Nicest people ever! We enjoy eating here.“

“This little hole in the wall diner has the BEST food! Super friendly service and welcoming environment! Definitely coming back to this place!“

“The atmosphere is classic, rugged in a playful way and chill like mom's molasses. The drinks are gourmet across the board, but the clam chowder is the best I've ever had. The crew is kind, their service is sweet, and the space itself is hard to beat.

Nearby activities: The sea lions nearby bark Rogue! Ripley's Believe It Or Not is nextdoor.

Walkability: Along the river ocean bay front!

Food and drinks: Delicious gourmet craft beers and magnificent food.

Noteworthy details: Historical place worth visiting if you come to Newport and like good beer and food.“

“Small disappointment regarding their menu. Pouring a 6 oz beer in a brandy sniffer, when all of the other customers are getting 16 oz.
Makes no sense.
If you're going to serve small amounts of beer, please put in the menu!“

“My wife and I recently shared the evening of our 29th Wedding anniversary at the Side Door. While we always enjoy our visits, this night was even more special. The ambiance at the Side Door is quite exceptional ; it always has been but, like everything here, it just keeps getting better. Warm, soft lighting, high ceiling with lazily turning ceiling fans, earth tone colors, fireplace with soft leather couches, good background jazz, and booths for those who wish them. The menu is probably the best on the Coast. While so many restaurants have downsized their menus, and failed to even adequately service them, Brook has maintained a sizable array of offerings that the kitchen unfailingly puts out in a consistent and timely fashion. I had the rack of lamb, which I've ordered four of the last six or seven times we've been in (not commonly offered otherwise, in our area). It was superb; it's a full rack served as four double chops, on a bed of vegetable risotto the like of which neither we've never found elsewhere. With the addition of grilled broccolini, the meal was complete, and absolutely wonderful. My wife's 16oz New York steak with grilled prawns was equally good (we exchanged portions). We had not tried the Coconut Creme Pie before (said to be Jeremy's favorite) but oh my god is it good. It's a must try. If you haven't been to the Side Door, you won't regret going. Price points for everyone.“

“Wife and I had the Fish and Chips there and was the best we’ve had in years! And the staff was polite and very friendly! Enjoyed our experience there much appreciated!“

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

“Great place, great atmosphere, fantastic food. Highly recommend ?.“

“Stu & I went to Tide Pool this weekend for some good bar food. We weren't disappointed! Fabulous burger & fries!!! And Megan. She was a wonderful host and made us feel so welcome. We are new in town and will back again...and again! Thanks for the great experience!“

“I go to mowgli's multiple times a week and it's best to go on Wednesdays because it's $5 games they've got deals throughout the entire week actually so I would suggest stopping by and figuring that out for yourself to see what works best for you the hosts there are great and actually we had a birthday party there recently and will continue to go there because it's a family-friendly environment“

“My husband surprised me with dinner here on our anniversary celebration since we got married in Depoe Bay (we are from Seattle). We got a table with the scenic view of the water, and that was only the start of the great things amongst others! All of the offerings from the tasting menu were terrific but what really stood out was the pork belly served with coffee ice cream - it was so intriguing! I was pleasantly surprised how well this dish was executed. We might just make this our go-to restaurant each year for our anniversary. I look forward to trying other dishes.“

“The BEST fresh halibut fish n chips I've ever eaten. Battered as you order. Slaw is excellent, fries are tasty. we drive from Salem just for the f&c at least once a month. yummy 😋“

“Try the bacon cheeseburger. It is awesome! Really good service.“

“Beer is good, but they only filled my growler half way. When i told them it’s not full they just gave me a refund of half. I’m so confused.

They responded and said they would fix it. If we ever are back in the area we will stop by to see. Thanks.“

“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“

“Coca Mocha Joe’s for the win! Bangers & Mash for St.Patricks Day was fantastic! I’ve never been here I didn’t leave with fantastic food and great service! You simply can’t go wrong!“

“We had a great dinner, even with the kids in tow. The food was amazing, the server- James was very attentive and friendly. There was even live music playing, in the bar area. Easily overhead in the restaurant, which the kids loved. It provided a welcome ambiance and entertained the childern. Both kids actually ate super good, which when eating out says alot. Looking forward to our next visit.“

“The real deal. It’s easy to agree that MO’s has world famous clam chowder. It is so good. The fish and chips was some of the best I’ve had as well. Just right. Service was fast and friendly. Made it a destination to visit while in Newport, OR and you should too.“

“The food, brews and service are great!“

“we stopped in today for lunch, as we have many times before. We have never been disappointed with the service or the food. I have never written a review before. but after today's fantastic experience I had too. I had the crawfish ettufee, and fish tacos. My wife had the bacon cheeseburger it all was fantastic. don't get me started on the Bloody Mary's, absolutely perfect! again if you haven't been there, I urge you go. thank you to the staff. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ yup 6 stars from us.“

“They were very friendly! Wonderful service. The beyond burger was fabulous and piping hot. The fries were out of this world!! Thanks Kennedy and Celeste it was a pleasure meeting with you.“

“I used to live in Oregon 12 years ago. Every time I was in Newport I would always stop and get the best halibut fish n chips from here. Now when we come to visit family in Vancouver WA. I will always make the trip down to South Bay to still get the best halibut fish n chips. Love this place.“

“Chef and waitress went above and beyond to meet dietary restrictions. Exceeded expectations with fresh, flavorful and nourishing whole-food plant-based food. Thank you!“

“Always a great experience. Wait staff are fantastic and great food!“

“Quick growler fill. Have ate here in the past, but not today. Staff friendly. Always changing trying to maximize the usage of the space they have between production and the restaurant. Fun to go in and see the process regardless of eating there or not.“

“Great Chowder. Best Halibut and Chips I’ve found yet!!“

“9/21/22 After having a rather negative experience at a neighboring eatery, We were so pleased by the Chowder bowl! Clam chowder was soooo good. The waiter was pleasant and accommodating, the food was very good and it was all around a great experience! Thank you!“

“We called first just in case. Staff very helpful on phone. We ended up having black bean burger no cheese or sauce, replaced sauce with bbq, added avocado. Salad with red onion, pecan, avocado, arugula and cranberries, vinaigrette dressing.“

“We stayed at the Salishan Resort in September 2024 for two nights and enjoyed several meals from the Attic. The food, presentation, and service were exceptional (salads, bowls, and breakfast were especially amazing and I loved the fresh ingredients). A special thank you to the hostess at the Attic – I believe her name is Anna (spelling?). She kept me company at the bar while I was waiting for a takeout dinner order, she has a sweet spirit and lovely energy. If possible, please pass on my gratitude to the chefs and Anna.“

“A great buffet, lots of salad choices, 3 chickens, 6 pizzas choices, fruits, pastas and friendly people work there. Great view of the ocean and plenty of parking. 2 different visits lunch and dinner so telling friends and going back. Prices are good.“
