Great atmosphere, sitting at the window with a sunset over the harbor. Friendly, attentive service. Food was a mixed bag. Oyster shooter: oyster was great, fresh and plumb. Cocktail sauce too thick, wouldn't come out of the glass. Crab chowder just luke warm, bland. The smoked salmon in the smoked salmon salad way too salty. Tuna dish was great. Fish stew was the highlight of the evening, great flavor and loaded with fish and shellfish.
Stopped in for a birthday dinner. We got the fish and chips with halibut and the crab po boy. I think I liked the sandwich even more than the fish! The crab was delicious and the roll was so soft. Good tartar sauce, too. We were surprised by the 20% automatically added gratuity for dining in. So be aware of that if that’s a turn off.
Scott was amazing. The food and drinks were great. The setting was great. They brought out the fire pits and too the umbrellas when it became shady. The food was great, we ordered the salmon and I got the halibut (or a white fish, it's been a while). I decided to finally make a review because Scott's personality and service should not go unnoticed. He was the best server I've ever met. He was personable, went into detail, and was always attentive. The restaurant is lucky to have him!!!
Took a Sunday afternoon to enjoy lunch with the Chef's Tasting Menu, and it was fantastic. Creative, elegantly plated, cohesive flavors and excellent tastes!
Highly recommend any tuna dish from here, cooked to perfection! The seafood pasta was packed jam with scallops, shrimp, and dungeness crab with a variety of vegetables.
Highly recommend!!! I am excited to return and try more of the menu!
Food here is so delicious 😍I would just come here from Portland to dine at this place 😅all the dishes are presented well and taste delicious. The staff is too good. They come and ask for feedback almost after every dish. Overall 10/10 experience with food here.I loved the devilled eggs and albacore tuna poke. Devilled eggs was a bomb of flavours. All the dishes were just perfect

What a pleasant surprise! I would even go so far as to say that this is the best seafood restaurant in Oregon. Living in the Portland area, I think we have tried most of the highly-rated ones around town, but Local Ocean Seafood blows them out of the water easily.
Quality and taste are the two main things that stand out - all the seafood used in the dishes we ordered was very fresh. It's also cooked to perfection, without using much salt. In fact, every dish was perfectly balanced and filled with generous servings of seafood. We had Seafood Linguini and two different stews and all were delicious. The waiter told us that they started out as a seafood shop for the local fishermen, then branched out to a cafe, teaching the local residents how to prepare seafood. Boy, I'd say they can now teach many top chefs!
Service was great, compared to what you get in big cities like Portland. The waiter was warm and attentive. The only slight knock is the mandatory 20% tip charged to the bill, although we would have gladly paid that much anyway.
We had a very enjoyable evening here. We were happy to realise there was an elevator to bring some of our guests to the first floor. We were lucky to score a table which was nicely setup at arrival.
The menu was quite extensive and they gave us ample time to peruse.
We had some cocktails first and I was very pleased to see a nice selection of non-alcoholic options as well.
The food was pretty good. The fried oysters were apparently very good. My husband and I shared the King Salmon and the Halibut & Peaches and agreed both dishes were delightful.
The service was pleasant and attentive.
Located on the historic bay front both a fish market & restaurant. If dining recommend reservations, though they keep about 50% of seating open for walk-ins. Wait staff, atmosphere, and food was exceptional. My wife & I shared Roasted Garlic & Dungeness Crab soup, and the Mexican Spicy Shrimp Cocktail. Both very good and the shrimp Cocktail wasn't too spicy. Would order both again! My wife had the Wild King Salmon, and I had the Halibut & Peaches. Both prepared excellent and would rate them exceptional.
Amazing. I ate way too much but I was so satisfied with everything I ordered. Perfect lunch, now I need a nap.
Update: 2 weeks later drove across Oregon again and guess where I had to come eat. Once again, it was so good 👍 I got a couple of the same things but that chocolate mousse tart is phenomenal.
And had to add an extra day to the trip so I popped by for a quick lunch and to try something different. More pictures 😍
My brother and sister-in-law drove out from Wisconsin, I showed them the best that Oregon had to offer, between scenery and the food from local Ocean Seafood.... Absolutely amazing!! Kudos to the chef for infusing such delicious food. And our server was top-notch. I highly recommend this place. I'm an exchef and I was blown away. Give these guys a try
