Andrew CJuly 12, 2015Some 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.Upvoted Nov 26, 2024
Greg WilcoxFebruary 27, 2016The 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!
jason goldOctober 31, 2016Best of all the places we tried in cannon beach. Good food, service, and atmosphere.
Will KnollJuly 3, 2013Two years later, service has improved incredibly, and food was great. Had the hazelnut crusted sole, absolutely delicious!
Stacy Bo BacyDecember 26, 2023What a great spot to have a meal and drinks. Terrific service and view of Cannon Beach.
Kirsten UdaniJanuary 5, 2014Everything we had was great. Dungeness crab benny, Dungeness Crab sandwich, tacos and steak. I think the sandwich was the best deal-loaded with crab!!
Mary HalvorsonJune 11, 2016The 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!
Ted GMay 17, 2014Locally foraged mushrooms and fresh locally sourced fish make for an amazing meal! Try the Ravioli: it's truly fantastic. Truly.
Paula BuzzoMay 31, 2021Views to the beach... food is ok! To start we asked for crab cakes. As main Salmon and Fillet with fries.
Aravinthan RangasamyFebruary 22, 2020Exceptional service and great food! Best clam chowder I’ve had.
Jana KlotterFebruary 3, 2013Incredible! Definitely order seafood, everything we had was perfectly seasoned and prepared. We will be back!- A JDecember 16, 2011The view of Haystack Rock is the best of any restaurant in town. The food is delicious, and the interior is recently and tastefully remodeled.
Erin BuxtonApril 8, 2013Awesome breakfast!!! Our waiter was super friendly and pointed out a cool destination for us to visit as well.
Joshua RiefApril 30, 2011Extensively 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!
Bobbi SelchApril 4, 2013Amazing dining experience! We have been dining here since 2000 and have never been disappointed.- Musa TariqFebruary 24, 2013The Crab Sandwich is amazing. (Big Statement Alert) Probably one of the best sandwiches I've ever had!
meaghanAugust 4, 2011Yummy clam chowder! Crab Mac and cheese was a small portion, but very rich an decadent. Yum.
AmateurConciergeSeptember 24, 2017Seafood somehow not fresh. Poutine was really good but nothing else was!
TravelOregonAugust 12, 2010Chef 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."
Miranda McDMarch 29, 2010Hazelnut crusted Rex sole was amazing! As were the avacado fingers and cream of asparagus soup. Wow wow wow!
Jonathan StollerFebruary 22, 2011Very good claim chowder. Then need to change the signs from Mows to Wayfers for the best clam chowder.
Spence HJanuary 29, 2013Great view. Chowder was pretty good. Crab cakes weren't that good for the price.
Светлана МатросоваJune 4, 2014After eating at this restaurant two days I had severe pain in the stomach. Today I feel better.
Alex PriestJuly 21, 2020Showed up at 7:55, were rudely told they closed at 8 and they wouldn’t seat us. Don’t bother.
Stace KarussosAugust 21, 2010Save your money. The food was not that great and the server disappeared.- Will KnollAugust 27, 2010Totally 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, 2015Excellent petit déjeuner copieux et bien préparé. Avec une belle vue sur la plage.
