Some of the best food on the coast I've had. Proximity to the beach gave me doubts originally. When you have a view you don't typically need to put in much effort. Thankfully they do.

The food is delicious, a real treat - much better than we expected for Cannon Beach! The steak was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Great service too!

Best of all the places we tried in cannon beach. Good food, service, and atmosphere.

Two years later, service has improved incredibly, and food was great. Had the hazelnut crusted sole, absolutely delicious!

What a great spot to have a meal and drinks. Terrific service and view of Cannon Beach.

Everything we had was great. Dungeness crab benny, Dungeness Crab sandwich, tacos and steak. I think the sandwich was the best deal-loaded with crab!!

The French Onion soup - exceptional. I expect it to taste like liquid steak - this surpassed it - tasted like liquid beef bourguignon! It is very hot - waiter calls it 20 min soup - just to cool off!

Locally foraged mushrooms and fresh locally sourced fish make for an amazing meal! Try the Ravioli: it's truly fantastic. Truly.

Views to the beach... food is ok! To start we asked for crab cakes. As main Salmon and Fillet with fries.

Exceptional service and great food! Best clam chowder I’ve had.

Incredible! Definitely order seafood, everything we had was perfectly seasoned and prepared. We will be back!

The view of Haystack Rock is the best of any restaurant in town. The food is delicious, and the interior is recently and tastefully remodeled.

Awesome breakfast!!! Our waiter was super friendly and pointed out a cool destination for us to visit as well.
Joshua RiefApril 30, 2011
Extensively remodeled in 2010 - beautiful, but I can't help missing the open, bright feeling of the old look. Still, amazing service and location as always!

Amazing dining experience! We have been dining here since 2000 and have never been disappointed.

Don’t miss the crab mac and cheese, it’s amazing!

The Crab Sandwich is amazing. (Big Statement Alert) Probably one of the best sandwiches I've ever had!
Eluise MarvinMay 7, 2014
Don't miss the avocado fingers or clam chowder. It's all good.
David AndersonJuly 31, 2018
Excellent food, I recommend trying everything!!

Great view

Tomahawk rib eye is amazing

Seafood somehow not fresh. Poutine was really good but nothing else was!

Chef John Newman of Newmans at 988 in Cannon Beach says, "A table right on the beach and a whole cracked crab...life doesn't get any better."
TCMay 22, 2011
Beachfront view, good service, and the best clam chowder I've ever had.
Miranda McDMarch 29, 2010
Hazelnut crusted Rex sole was amazing! As were the avacado fingers and cream of asparagus soup. Wow wow wow!
Johnathan LymanFebruary 24, 2014
Amazing food. Awesome views! :)
Jonathan StollerFebruary 22, 2011
Very good claim chowder. Then need to change the signs from Mows to Wayfers for the best clam chowder.
Spence HJanuary 29, 2013
Great view. Chowder was pretty good. Crab cakes weren't that good for the price.
Andy MartinJune 11, 2011
Halibut w/cranberry is great! Service is excellent!

Best Fish N Chips on the planet! Amazing!
Светлана МатросоваJune 4, 2014
After eating at this restaurant two days I had severe pain in the stomach. Today I feel better.
Alex PriestJuly 21, 2020
Showed up at 7:55, were rudely told they closed at 8 and they wouldn’t seat us. Don’t bother.
Stace KarussosAugust 21, 2010
Save your money. The food was not that great and the server disappeared.
Will KnollAugust 27, 2010
Totally agree with Stace, avoid this place. Terrible service & over-priced food (even with the view). If you must go, sit on the patio and have the clam chowder, it's the only thing worth ordering.
Jean-Pierre RiehlSeptember 24, 2015
Excellent petit déjeuner copieux et bien préparé. Avec une belle vue sur la plage.
