    Salad
    Katie B.

    We came twice during our a few days in Garibaldi. Once for happy hour and early dinner, once for drinks and cake with some friends. The biggest draw for me here is their carrot cake which might possibly be the best carrot cake I have had. The cream cheese topping is laid on thick and is so rich and creamy, almost like its own cheesecake dessert on its own. The sponge of the carrot cake is moist and delicious - the two just pair so well together. Drinks are also good. Food is pretty standard pub fare otherwise with burgers and sandwiches though they do have other specials like pasta.

    Seafood Chowder

    The inside is super cozy and clean. Love how their location is right in the middle of the port. Really added to the ambience. Staffs were quick and efficient as well. We split their Seafood Chowder and it's ok. Enjoyed the abundant of seafood in it but the soup could have been more flavorful and hotter. Side garlic bread was great tho!

    I had the Clam Chowder, side salad, and Cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. All were great. Plenty of space. Service was great. Neat location at the port.

    Sweet potato fries and the blueberry goat cheese burger!

    Looking for a dinner spot, this place was near the marina! Beautiful view in the town of Garabaldi :) Menu was quite the variety. From appetizers and drinks, to sandwiches and entrees, and even seafood. Their seafood chowder is unique. It was creamy and had little shrimps, scallops, clams and corn. I got the blueberry goat cheese burger. It was pretty different since I love blueberries and goat cheese! The burger was topped high -- it was hard to eat and was messy. I had to cut in half. However, it was a good burger. There was an avocado spread, bacon, lettuce, tomato and cheese. Even my bf's turkey sandwich was topped high and he loved it! Presentation is nice here -- the sweet potato waffle fries were so good. Crispy and not greasy, there was an additional charge for it which the waitress made me aware of -- she was so kind and accommodating!

    Plain Alfredo

    We stopped by Garibaldi Portside Bistro for an early dinner on a Saturday night. They were decently busy with plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. We were lucky and got to sit by the beautiful indoor fireplace! I had the Alfredo. The flavor was good, but the noodles were very overcooked. I loved the cheesy garlic bread! The side salad was a great bonus to the meal. My husband had the half rack of ribs. They were a bit fatty for our taste. He ordered the "waffle cut" fries and the waitress brought out waffle cut sweet potato fries. The menu did not state that their waffle fries were sweet potato. The menu made it seem like they had regular waffle and sweet potato separate items and priced differently. We mentioned that to the waitress and she hesitated and made the switch. She took the plate back and immediately came back with fries and they were obviously not fresh and barely warm (the same quality as the sweet potato). Despite not ordering the sweet potato option we were charged an extra $4 for the fries we did not eat. We will be back to give them another chance as the atmosphere was great!

    We tried Garibaldi while in town for a trip! It was a cute bistro with plenty of seating and WONDERFUL staff! Our waitress was so nice and helpful. We were late for our reservation but they still accommodated us! The food prices were a bit high for the type of food quality/quantity. And the options were limited when we went (no veggie patty for burgers, limited desserts, etc). Overall, a nice place for dinner and great views of the coast!

    Sprinkle cake

    The service wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst either! Really enjoyed the popcorn shrimp very nice and fresh. The cake it so much

    Maybe it's because I was absolutely ravenous but Garibaldi Portside Bistro served me the best Turkey Club Sandwich I've had in a long time. Our group was hungry after a long morning of adventuring and GPB was the perfect pit stop. The location is unmatched, the service is very friendly, and the food was delicious. We sat outside on their patio and enjoyed the views and sounds of the nearby port. Garibaldi Portside Bistro instantly became a new fave of mine! You should definitely stop by when you're in town.

    Fantastic food. Huge portions. Seven of us in our party & most of us split our meals. Glad we did because portions were so large & tasty!

    Country/ Home styled breakfast place with good portion. Nothing fancy…read more It was what we needed in the way to clamming. Guess my only complain with pricing was not too high for the offering and hash browns were soggy (although seemed fresh and grated at the restaurants).

My first impression: the cleanest, nicest bathroom I've ever seen in an American diner! To the last bite, it's clear this is a place that takes pride in the details. I went for the Tillamook cheddar and ham omelette with a homemade biscuit and hash browns, while my soulmate had Eggs Benedict that was phenomenal even on English muffins, though I couldn't help imagining how legendary it would be served on their incredible homemade biscuits. The mixed greens that came with it were fresh, high-quality, and lightly dressed with olive oil and lemon, no bottled dressing shortcut here. I swapped toast for one of those biscuits and had to try the gravy. It was smooth, perfectly seasoned, and avoided that heavy, lumpy texture so many places serve. Out of curiosity, we ordered a pancake, and I'm glad we did. It was fluffy, flavorful, and clearly made from scratch, served with Tillamook butter. Everything tasted fresh, cooked in a butter-oil blend without the seed or vegetable oils that ruin flavor elsewhere. My only regret was skipping the seafood omelettes (shrimp or oysters), but with a four-hour drive ahead, I decided to save that for next time. If I had one small suggestion, it would be to upgrade the coffee, which was just okay compared to the food. Service from Sarah was outstanding, prompt, friendly, and exactly what you want in a place like this. The vibe was pure coastal Oregon: locals chatting, a cozy, no-frills dining room connected to a market, and a mission to feed you well so you can get on with your day. It's not something you'd find in Manhattan, and that's part of its charm. Five stars without hesitation. If you're doing a coastal Oregon trip, make this a stop, you'll leave full, happy, and already planning your return.

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!
