I live local and this is my favorite "go to" place to bring company or just to get a meal out. Super friendly folks and the absolute best view and food in town! Come hungry and save room for dessert!

Oh my goodness, we stopped here for dinner last Friday and it was SO good!! My husband had the clam chowder and said it was the best he has ever had! I felt exactly the same way about my crab melt. It was full of big chunks of crab and perfectly seasoned. Our kids were super happy with their food too and it was a good kid friendly place. Loved it! If you're in Garabaldi check it out!

Went to portside bistro and had several different things and all of them are so incredible. Great service a wonderful atmosphere and incredible food. I will be back soon. It's worth the drive and the view of the bay just makes it even better.

What an amazing surprise! Probably one of the best, fresh, local ingredient meals ever on the coast. Clam chowder like no other and a crab melt so fresh and delicious. Exceeded our expectations. Definitely a tucked away gem. We will be back.

I followed by sense of smell and discovered this spot not too long ago. My nose is never wrong. Excellent food, friendly service, and an oasis of joy for my taste buds in a deep fried food desert. The Reuben is a gift from God through Dennis' efforts. Do not miss it, however bring your appetite for it is a feast. Grilled to perfection! The corned beef is house cured and smoked and the dressing is house made as well. The burgers are excellent! I will need to return to check out the ribs......and for all you deep fried foodies - they do serve the golden crispy on occasion, by the description, I could be seriously tempted!

The moment you walk in, the entire cafe smells delicious! I had the Reuben and was super happy with my choice, huge portions and huge flavor. Quick and friendly service, lovely fresh interior. I'll be returning soon to tryout the tri-tip melt or one of their yummy looking burgers. Great new option in Garibaldi :)

Lovely little stop! Owners (Manager & Chef) were extremely friendly and nice. Directed us toward the Albacore Tuna Melt, which IMHO was BEST on the planet! Tri-tip steak sandwich and burgers were great as well. Sorry we missed the ribs that were being smoked for later. Great ambiance looking out over the marina. Hidden gem, this place!

There are so many great choices on the menu, it was tough to decide! We tried the prime rib salad and the dry-rub ribs. Fantastic!!! Service was engaging and quick. Our server was super busy but didn't miss a beat. The prime rib was a little over-cooked but still flavorful. The waffle-cut sweet potato fries were super good. The dry-rub was tasty! We'll definitely be back to try the blueberry goat burger and the brisket tots.

We had a 10/10 experience at this restaurant, the foods are better than many big chain restaurants. Waitresses are very nice. We ordered 2 burgers, Cod & beef, upgraded one to sweet potatoes waffles fries, very good.

Ordered oyster shooters, chowder, poki tuna, brisket deluxe sandwich. Outstanding! The only few things that could be better with poke is the rice doesn't have to be so mooshy, and onions could be cut smaller. Perhaps a touch of seaweed would make this plate complete.

I normally go with the Habanero Mango burger, but this time, I went with Brisket Deluxe. Both are fantastic and filling. For my side, I went with tater tots, and to top it off, I went with an IPA. You will not be disappointed with anything you get here. The staff were really friendly, and it didn't take long for my food to show up!!

This place is awesome in every possible way. The food is delicious; my family shared plates so we all got to taste the different dishes, and each one was fantastic. The pulled pork tots are especially tasty! The restaurant has a cool atmosphere/decor and is super clean. Everyone who works here is really nice and personable. Even the prices were great! It was pretty much a perfect restaurant experience, and I haven't had one of those in a very long time. As a local, I'm excited to eat here whenever possible 😊

One of my absolute favorite places to finish a long day on the boat. I didn't get a picture of the carrot cake. Wish I did. Hands down, probably the best carrot cake with a cream cheese sour cream whipped frosting. Fluffy and the perfect amount of sweet.

Burgers are delicious, cheese curds are awesome. You have to get the cheesy garlic fries! Clam chowder has clams and chunks of fish as well as shrimp. Staff is extremely friendly, attentive, and overall amazing. One of the nicest restaurants around.

I've been coming to the Oregon coast for 40 years and this might be the best restaurant I've found. The menu, the food and the service was all outstanding. Huge portions.

We had a party of 12. We were warmly welcomed. Our server was knowledgeable of the menu options for GF. The food was a high quality at a fair price point. We received our food quickly and our server made sure it was correct. We will come back here when in the area.

My family stopped here on a whim during a family vacation, and boy was I impressed. The garlic cheese curds are one of the best things I’ve ever put in my mouth, and that was just an appetizer. Their Ribs were phenomenal! They had a burger that paired goat cheese and blueberry 🤌🏾 Magnifico! Do yourself a favor - enjoy some good eating here.

If yall order this HEFTY brisket burger..just order a side salad w it. Trust me..you'll thank me later! Its got protein for days and I swear your gonna need like 2 extra hands to hold it. Super yummy and juicy. Loved the mild smokiness! Same goes for their Reuben..loads of meat w that nice 'krout crunch! And that sauce for their onion rings...dang! I think every sauce needs atleast a little heat like this one does. Its perfect for the ppl that cant take a lot of spiciness and a little hint for the ones who do. Excellent!

This is the perfect restaurant. Very mellow, INCREDIBLE FOOD, INCREDIBLE SERVICE, THEY EVEN ASKED WHAT PART OF THE BROWNIE WE WANTED. I wish that I lived here so that I could eat here every day. This was a highlight of our trip, anyone visiting the Oregon coast should make this a priority!!! The spiked peach and blackberry lemonade were the best drinks we have had in months, there is a great view, and they are open LATE!!!! JC was an amazing server. Thank you guys!!

Wow, wow, wow! I have not been here in 13 years. Changed ownership! Food is Fantastic! The people that work there are so prompt to greet you, make you comfortable, get you seated. The waiter and waitress get your drinks and place a menu in front of you! There is a bar, lots of televisions with sports on. The waiter comes by to ask , not push you to order. Ambient, wharf, casual. Food is excellent! Chowder, Ruben, Yam Fries a 10. Salads, large, and delicious. Oh Carrot Cake , I love it! It’s so good, the LOCALS EAT Here! Enjoy setting, Boats,Birds, clean air, great food! Priced very fair.

Had the best lunch here! Our server Cami was amazing and only made our eating experience better. Ordered the French Dip and Blueberry Goat Cheeseburger and both were very filling and we still had left overs. Carrot cake was the cherry on top. Definitely will have to stop by again!
