Absolutely wonderful to eat good food with a view of the ocean. It’s always on my list whenever I visit the Inn at Otter Crest.

Our wedding at Spyglass was everything we could have hoped for and more. Set right on the coast, the venue gave us breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and the rugged Oregon coastline, creating the perfect backdrop for our special day. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and full of natural beauty. The banquet and reception areas were spacious and elegant, and were the perfect spaces for our guests to eat and socialize at the event. The food was absolutely delicious, with our guests still raving about the quality of each dish, especially the salmon with that beautiful sauce. Literally above and beyond.

What truly set Spyglass apart was the outstanding service. The entire staff was incredibly attentive, making sure every detail was taken care of so we could truly relax and enjoy ourselves. A special thank-you goes to James, who went above and beyond to make all of our dreams come true. His professionalism, warmth, and dedication were unmatched, and his guidance throughout the planning process made everything feel effortless. Spyglass was more than just a venue—it was the heart of our celebration, and we’ll always be grateful for the memories we made there.

This cocktail “experience” was phenomenal! EVERYTHING on the signature cocktails menu is to-die-for. The mixologist is incredibly artistic with his cocktails, from spraying his homemade tinctures, choosing different ice for different drinks, topping a glass with homemade cocktail foam, to beautifully garnishing each drink.

Try the burrata. When they say “lots of garlic” on the menu, they mean it, but it doesn’t overpower the other flavors. And the pizza crust you eat it on? Best I’ve ever had, hands down!

This is a small, comfortable, restaurant with stellar views, excellent food and service, and extraordinary cocktails!!

If you are looking for fancy cocktails and outstanding pizza don’t look anywhere else! This hidden gem has an awesome friendly staff and the drinks were very obviously thought out. The Rings of Saturn cocktail and Pistachio Gimlet were some of the best drinks my partner and I have ever had. This one of a kind tiki bar is tucked away in the woods with panoramic ocean views, a pool table & even a tv for sports season. What more could you want!? So glad we stopped by and can’t wait to go back to try the rest of the menu!

Fantastic views from the restaurant and bar. The pizza is great. The burrata appetizer should not be missed. Matt is fantastic and makes an incredible cocktail. Try the pistachio gimlet. So good.

If you visit Devil’s Punchbowl and want something a bit more upscale than Mo’s, take the 3 minute drive up to Spyglass for some amazing views, drinks and food! Matt the mixologist makes *the best* piña colada I’ve ever had (on the rocks, but trust me), and Jim & co serve up some delicious food with great portions. If you haven’t visited this part of the coast before, do yourself a favor and head down to the beach at Otter Crest (which gives you access to Devil’s Punchbowl at low tide). Once you’re done exploring, head up to Spyglass for drinks and food for the perfect Oregon Coast day.

They had a beautiful view and provided binoculars at your table. We sat in bar area with cute tiki atmosphere. We had house made French onion soup which was excellent and pizza that they made the dough which was very good. We had a house salad with homemade dressing and croutons.

We went to lunch at a slower time of day so it was quiet and relaxing. The food and drinks where great. And a few rounds of pool made the lunch even better.

What a surprisingly positive experience. Learned that there have been updates to the bar and menu and the results are unexpectedly delightful. Very good cocktails. Very good sourdough pizza crust and burrata.

We only had a couple drinks, but each were good. And only tried the burrata but that was also excellent.

Definitely going to try and come back to try more in the future.

Nice turn around for a place that seemed to have missed the mark for a while there.

Fantastic food, service, and the view is spectacular! My husband said the fish n chips was the best he had ever had! I had the bacon cheeseburger and was fantastic. They were really accommodating of my gluten allergy (celiac) too! I didn’t get sick!

Closed for the season. Reopening Mid-February 2025. Worth the wait.

This is one of my absolute favorite places, dine in and take out.
Food is fantastic, location is top notch.
But it would go a long way to great customers when they come in.
Every time, my self, and anyone I see who comes in, is ignored for quite a long time.

A quick.. hi, I'll be right with you, or hi, have a seat where you like well be right with you, doesn't take any extra effort.

The gal behind the bar is great once you're seated and being served, but full on won't even look at you when you come in, much less great you.

I will continue to eat here and share and recommend this place to others.
