Stopped by Breakside Brewery on the way back from the Oregon coast to Washington…read more Wanting to get a piece of what Astoria is like, we got a lobster roll, a Dungeness crab roll, and several oysters. The Willapa Bay oysters were served with a tangy mignonette, which was pretty darn good. I can say the lobster roll was good too, as they tasted crunchy and creamy. All in all, great seafood! My main critique is that portions were considerably small for the amount I paid for the food. I left satisfied but not full, so I would not come here if you're craving something more satiating. The restaurant is formatted to be more of a sports bar, good for socialization, drinking and having small bites.

A small seafood restaurant tucked away in Astoria serving inventive and fresh seafood. We stopped…read morein on a summer Friday for lunch. We had hoped to arrive when they open at noon but had to circle a bit to find parking so arrived closer to 12:25. It's a small place with just a few tables so by then it was a 30 minute wait. So we poked around town and got back around 12:50 and they were just calling our name. The menu sports all things seafood from fish tacos and fish and chips to ceviche and barn mi to crab cakes, crab cocktails and much more. We opted to share an order of the crispy pink shrimp and crab cakes (2 per order) followed by the unique fry bread topped with fresh Dungeness crab. Amazingly delicious! And so different. Would definitely recommend both items. It's a great spot for fresh seafood but try to get there early. At 1 when we were seated the wait had stretched to 90 minutes. Also they aren't able to accommodate group over six and are best suited to 2-4 people. If you are anywhere near-this place is a must.

Nice tucked away spot with good food. Oyster shooters were…read moremeaty, clean, and fresh tasting. Crab cakes could've been a little bigger and uniform but the flavor was good, and crispy. Clam chowder was decent but tbh could've been a little more flavorful on the creaminess of the soup. Ambiance wise it was a little warm the day we went and airflow isn't a thing so be okay with being sticky and sweaty Overall, nice place, decent food

Hands down one of the best eating experiences I've had from start to finish in a very long time!…read more Terra, our amazing server, and the Bridgewater Bistro team made my 50th birthday dinner experience a truly memorable experience and I am so thankful to them all, they didn't know until I was leaving so no special treatment :). Terra welcomed both me and my husband with kindness and provided us with impeccable service. Couldn't have been more pleased, thank you! True props to the chef and crew!!! From start to finish (appetizer-entry-desert) had so much flavor that each and every bite was an explosion of perfectly seasoned and melded flavors. We had the crab cheese dip, house bread and prosciutto wrapped asparagus for our appetizers, my husband had the Ribeye steak and I had the King Salmon. His large steak was cooked to perfection and the flavors involved in the King Salmon concoction left my tastebuds in awe - seriously BRAVO! With no room left in our bellies we of course ordered the strawberry-rhubarb cobbler and pear margarita sorbet. Both were absolutely to die for. With 24 years of military service, much of it abroad, I've had my fair share of both and I'd put both of these at the very top. I'm a foodie and love the joys food can bring to so many regardless of background or origins. You brought unexpected joy to my life this weekend and for that I'm taking the time to write this review and to say thank you. Can't wait for our next visit to Astoria and to Bridgewater Bistro.

So it was our 15th anniversary and we decided to try out the nicest restaurant that we could find…read more It did not disappoint. The atmosphere inside, the decor plus the view was spectacular. We were seated at a window table, which was great. We ordered a couple drinks and a couple appetizers. The crab dip and calamari were amazing. Probably the best crab dip I've ever had. For main courses, I ordered the seared scallops and added prawns to the dish as well as a side of their chowder. So good. Melt in your mouth scallops. The chowder was some of the best I've had. My wife ordered pasta Alfredo with shrimp. She said it was amazing as well. And my daughter ordered the Boullabaisse. I've never heard of it but it's a seafood bowl that is delicious and has many seafoods inside.. almost like a soup. She loved it. Dessert was a chocolate torte and a cheesecake slice. Again, amazing. This is a must go to restaurant if you want upscale in Astoria, Oregon. It is well worth the price. And you cannot beat the atmosphere and service. It is exceptional.

We thought the fish and shrimp were seasoned perfectly. Great slaw! The staff were extremely sweet and gracious. The ambiance is hard to describe, but it's whimsical and quirky (my favorite). They somehow make it feel like you're dining oceanside. What a happy discovery, I highly recommend.

I would definitely come back! Truly a hidden gem…read more The food was tasty, healthy, and fresh. The server was also friendly, especially for those who have dietary restrictions and allergies. This is the spot for you! I ordered the coffee and received a refill! It was only $2 for coffee. I also got the green juice ($10), and thought that it was very refreshing. My favorite item was the cheesecake! I can't believe it was vegan. I loved tasting the crunch of the Marion berry seeds. The cauliflower scramble was absolutely delicious, especially the pesto. Such a cute cafe too! Love the colors.

Incredibly satisfying without sacrificing vitality!…read more Seasonal vegetables in the Mushroom Cauliflower Stirfry were amazing. So good! And not just a restraunt, this place is a reminder that truly healthy food doesn't have to be bland. Nourishing food made by talented hands - not only for those with food allergies, but those looking to satisfy their craving for incredible tasting nourishment without sacrificing vitality. The owner is a wonderful soul who is revamping the shop over the summer - in the works of changing up the menus! Excited to see what she comes up with next! This is an absolute must visit when in Astoria! Support local and watch our community flourish!

The ingredients on the sandwiches were very fresh. I could have used a little more sauce on mine. However, the potatoe salad was the star of the show. Definitely tangy and i loved the pickles in it.

I have a fondness for international markets and sandwiches. So it was fortuitous to visit Gaetano's…read moreMarket & Deli in Astoria. It reminded me of two Italian spots in Seattle's Pioneer Square. Very popular since most of the onsite seating were occupied (6/20/25). No surprise after glancing at their menu, easily I could gravitate towards several of their sandwiches. Lots of merch and deli items are also available to select from. I ended up ordering a half pound of proscuitto (0.52 lb for $17.67). This was carefully sliced thin, packaged, and wrapped carefully, which was duly noted and greatly appreciated. We paused at window counter seats and had to sample the purchase before departing. Absolutely delicious! Helped elevate a meal the next day too. I may have to return to indulge in one of their Italian sandwiches. Update: we did return to dine onsite at the same window counter seats (6/22/25). The Homie had the Hot Meatball ($14). Meaty with zesty sauce. I had the Salami Panini ($12), which reminded me of a fave Italian panini at Irwin's Bakery & Cafe in Seattle. Both were fantastic, hit the spot, clean plate club worthy, and definitely no takeout boxes needed! Gaetano's Market & Deli, a terrific find in Astoria!

On a beautiful spring day, we were on a meandering drive back to Seattle from a Portland weekend…read more We decided to stop in Astoria for dinner and to enjoy the view. The Knot provided the perfect combination of both. The food was excellent! In particular, we absolutely loved the pickled rockfish, salmon chowder, salted chocolate caramel custard and house-made citrus NA ginger ale. We happily enjoyed our meal while watching ships, seals, birds and ocean life. The server told us about the ships and even a podcast report to learn more about passing vessel traffic. It simply made me want to return for a longer and slower visit! Maybe to sit by the fire pit out front while watching life go by. A bonus was a (free) EV hook up adjacent to the property.

We stopped by here for a few drinks and some bread while we were walking the boardwalk in Astoria…read more The drinks were well prepared, but took a very long time to be made. We got our bread and basically finished it before we got our drinks. The bartender was new and she was looking at physical recipes to make each of our drinks. Im glad we weren't in a hurry. The view is outstanding and you can sit outside in the nice weather which we had that day because the inside is very small. We even saw a sea lion swimming off the pier as we enjoyed our drinks. A little pricey for what you get but overall still good but not somewhere I would return to with all the other options in the area.
