28 Best Seafood Restaurants near Otter Rock

“Love it my favorite place in the beach 🏖“

“We were so happy to discover Tidal Raves! Even though it was night and we weren't able to enjoy the views of the ocean, the place had a classy and comfortable ambiance, with good vibes and good acoustics.

The food was delicious. My wife tried both the salmon chowder and clam chowder and loved them (definitely the best she's had of several restaurants in the region), and I had the Wagyu burger. Delicious!

We appreciated the kind service from Jesus as well. Overall a great experience, and we look forward to next time.

Judging from how packed the parking lot is whenever we pass by, this is a very well liked spot.“

“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.“

“Small quaint casual environment, very busy but didn’t mind waiting just a little. We had cocktails and appetizers. Ordered the gumbo and The Dungeness dinner crab. Everything was so good, not far from the Pacific Shores RV park where we are staying. Definitely will be coming back“

“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 😋“

“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.“

“Had lunch at Squatchsami today. Omg! The fish and chips were delicious. Best chocolate milkshakes! So happy to see how their business is thriving. Go eat there! You won’t be disappointed.“

“This is an amazing restaurant right on the water, with great view.
The food , clam chowder and tacos were very good. We also got to see sea lions and fishing off the bridge as we eat
Service was very good and Justin was very outgoing to make sure everything was good“

“We had dinner at Mo’s 2 nights in a row because we liked it so much.This 80 year old restaurant has it down. Their halibut and Alaskan cod is lightly breaded and grilled to perfection.. it couldn’t possibly be any better. Our delightful server Mackenzie went the extra mile taking care of us. Just make sure you save room for the marionberry crisp which is out of this world.“

“Wonderful stuffed mushrooms, and shrimp cocktail. We had an amazing server (Jason) that made us feel right at home. Exceptional service, he was very attentive and accommodating. All the staff were very pleasant and friendly. Makes for a wonderful experience. Thank you, Jason!“

“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...“

“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.“

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

“When we ended up leaving The Horn due to lack of service, we came to West Coast Chowder. The service was fantastic. They even got an order of mac and cheese going for my child immediately, before we sat, understanding that she was hungry and we had already been waiting a while to eat before trying this place. Our server, Rocky, took very good care of us, the food tasted good, and the price was good too. The place was clean and had decent views from the front window. Thanks so much!

Kid-friendliness: Service was prompt, which is great when you have a hungry kid, and staff was friendly and kind toward my daughter. Food was affordable and kid-friendly options were available.“

“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!“

“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!“

“We’re so happy with the new ownership and the very friendly, professional staff-excellent,attentive service with a very delicious diverse menu. Exceptional specials and desserts with a full bar. Love to visit when our musician friends are performing. Great hours, breakfast, lunch and dinner! Our local go-to!!“

“The best food in town“

“Good food and great service!!!“

“Today blew my mind away!! We have been going here for years. And the last time we went (right after covid it was not that great so today I was hesitant) but what astounded me, our server (sorry don’t know name) invited us and our dogs in. WHAT!! We were there for my Valor’s (Husky) last coast trip ever! Any day he will no longer be with us. This place he remembers as we have sat outside on the bench (cold/hot) and ate our food. He loves it. Plus on top of it, when she found out she had a hamburger patty cooked for him (no charge), even after he got snippy when she tried to clean up water. (But that is his training to keep my circle open and not let anyone distract him or me plus he’s 13 hard of hearing and loosing sight), Anyways she was so fantastic, and OMG THE FOOD I REMEMBER IS BACK. THE CLAM CHOWDER BEST EVER! Cod was so moist and delicious, husband ordered that mixture like a stew with a bunch of different meats. Holy cow right on spot. Even the bread was perfect. Most of all my dogs loved it, they were well behaved, even had a couple say “oh I have to sit next to those gorgeous puppies”, then heard our story and we cried. At the end our waitress said “can your son hold Valor so I can give you a hug?” She gave me the biggest hug ever, so did another customer. (Btw she said as long as dogs are well behaved and not mean they are welcome SO COOL)

This was such an amazing/emotional experience! The best one yet at this Chowder Bowl that I was hesitant about. I am so happy and glad she invited us in. I will definitely be going back in memory of Valor with Penny. Ready to have fantastic service and food.

I cannot thank you enough for making this day even more special and memorable for our family and VALOR!! You my dear are one of a kind.“

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