Prices were high (I spent $20 on a 3 piece cod) albeit the quality softened that blow. I've already spread the word. This gem of a spot needs a visit. Right along the river as the name implies. Batter was right where it needed to be. Oh do I wish I could go back. Some fish n chip spots mess with the formula. I'm no specialist but when it comes to FnC it seems only few spots know how to get the batter right without drying out the fish. If you're in the Nehalem area you gotta try it.

They have a few tables inside as well as outside both in front and in back. Service was super friendly. Looking forward to coming back!

We had visited MacGregor's in the past and always had a good time. We looked online and the new…read moreowners seemed to have a similar menu, so we arranged to meet family here on a recent Saturday in August. On their website, Google, and Yelp, the summer hours were listed as 2 to 9, so we arranged to meet at 4:15. When we arrived, the sign on the door said they would open at "5-ish." Needless to say, we did not wait around. I don't understand not being open a little earlier in the afternoon during the summer tourist season. The wine bar up the street was doing a lively business. It's so easy to update a website; it's a shame they don't seem to care whether they have customers or not.

Hash browns were the frozen shredded variety. Bacon was extra crispy and appeared to be precooked and reheated. Wife's French toast was good however the sided maple syrup was artificial and not real maple.

On the plus side there were several Mexican style options that may have made tastier choices.

Doesn't look like much from the outside but very roomie, clean and nice inside. AMAZING service! Wish I had gotten the name of the young man behind the register yesterday that attended us. He was so nice, patient, and helpful! We sat outside in the front patio with our 2 pups enjoying the beautiful weather and got the food brought out to us. We split an oyster melt sandwich, albacore tuna sandwich, and their house made tomato/orange soup. You could tell the oyster and tuna both were very fresh and not canned or frozen nonsense. They said the tuna is sourced locally from Garibaldi area about 1/2 hour south of there. The strawberry lemonade had fresh strawberry in it and was delicious and not overly sweet. We then went for a very long walk on the beach to work it all off and came back few hours later to relax at the outside patio tables again and tried the dirty fries and salmon pita (BOTH DELICIOUS). and a must try too. The food here is different, unique, and not made how you would typically expect or get anywhere else. I thought the tuna sandwich would be boring but actually left me wanting more. We were sad upon return that we didn't get to try their CLAMS because they had run out since it's one of their most popular items, but we will DEFINITELY be returning to this place, and hope to be able to try their dinner menu sometime. We both highly recomend it!

I have a few bottles of "the good stuff" stashed around my house that I always say I'll open during a special occasion - which never seems to arrive . It so happens that Alchemy has an extensive whiskey list which included a couple of my "reserve" bottles. This was the perfect opportunity for me to taste them. I had a flight of three delicious bourbon pours, THEN was told about a special rye whiskey which, well, I had to try as well. So much fun, I enjoyed each of my pours at a cost that didn't break my piggy bank. Meanwhile, my wife loved her mango margarita. We also had the ceviche and the smoked crab dip - the crab dish was especially good. All in all, a memorable evening. Recommended!

The food is delicious, service is great. Thomas was our waiter again and helped us order something new. Appetizers - calimari was excellent and the clam chowder was great.

They have a wonderful wine list and bar - perfectly complementing our meal. The Riverhouse is a small restaurant, charming and cozy. The quality of the food and service rivals that of big name restaurants in Las Vegas or LA. The Riverhouse is truly a hidden gem. Come to Pacific City, Oregon for the laid back beach vacation and definitely come to the Riverhouse for amazing food.

One of the lovely parts of Manzanita is how quiet it is compared to some of the larger cities on…read morethe coast. But, even being a year round visitor, there are still some things that take getting used to like the limited hours for many restaurants. Even in the high season, the San Dune Pub is only open a few days a week and only during dinner hours. So, no lunch visits or late night drinking sessions. Also, no children allowed, just fur babies on the back patio. The best time to experience the San Dune is on a late summer afternoon or early evening on the back patio. It is a nice place to hang out sheltered from the traffic on Laneda and any strong wind coming off the beach. I've only ordered burgers and it hits the spot served on a brioche bun with a generous side of fries or tots. A funny quirk about the menu is that all of the cheeseburgers are the same price (currently $18). So whether you want a plain cheeseburger or the more extravagant Chipotle Bacon Chicken Burger, it is the same price. You can upgrade the side if you prefer salad or chowder. There are three large screens inside, so it is a place where you can watch a game, but there is also a wall with video poker machines that have the sound turned on, which is quite annoying. Personally, I'd turn left as you enter and stick to the quieter side of the dining space.
