    Surf and turf
    Gary A.

    We had a great dinner. The view was great and the service was equally good. Not fancy but good seafood. I enjoyed the seafood platter appetizer. My wife loved the tuna grill with sweet potato fries. I had a bite and thought it was delicious. The surf and turf special was equally good. I will go back next time in Winchester Bay.

    After pulling into town we were looking for some fresh seafood and Griffs did not disappoint. The building is a low slung one story with indoor/outdoor carpet and four top tables. When you enter you pass a takeout area. The window views are of the waterway and boats. We were greeted and seated quickly. I opted for the Cioppino and I was amazed at the amount of seafood and the flavor. YUM! Hubs had a Halibut burger and it was a large portion and perfectly seasoned. We started with grilled scallops and these beauties were huge! Definitely coming back when in WB

    Steak covered with crab, Garlic potatoes, green beans and toast.

    Great location and view. I love the specials. Great food for a reasonable price. Friendly and professional service.

    Located in the harbor. It is the perfect ambiance for a bay/harbor seafood restaurant. Staff were welcoming, friendly, and attentive. The was food was very fresh and superb. They serve crinkle fries and cole slaw with their platters. Highly recommend getting their crab and shrimp cocktail for an appetizer, and the fried fish an entree.

    Aye, a hearty bowl of Cioppino matey!

    This Cioppino was insane! So delicious and packed with fresh seafood. Griff's at Winchester Bay, Oregon for a winning lunch.

    Fish & shrimp combo with fries, coleslaw and tartar and cocktail sauces

    Great fish & chip place. Fast, friendly service, with good food and generous portions. And a great window view over the water!

    A beautiful lakeside view!

    The food was 10/10! There is a beautiful waterfront view and we saw squirrels, seagulls, and other wildlife while we ate! We ordered 3 pc fish and chips & it was the best fish and chips we've ever had! The clam chowder was very good too and the staff was fast and friendly.

Not greasy and not dried out. Just enough for the 3 of us to get our taste buds going. The elk burger was so tasty and juicy with a flavor that left us craving more. Medium rare with added avocado was the perfect mix. The burger was not so filling that you got the after burger taste and wouldn't have room for anything else. The Marionberry Crisp topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream was enough for us to share at the end as well. Headed up perfectly and delicious! The service was great and the wait time was not long to get a table. Outdoor seating is also available and the inside keeps it nice and cozy for small parties or the occasional big family feasts. We'll definitely stop back here again!

Want some weird crusty stuff on top of your clam chowder that makes it hard to eat the clam chowder? Yuppers, they do that too and you get no crackers, which I love to crumble into clam chowder.

Finally, with friends visiting from Washington, we made a special trip up to Reedsport, just to try it out. Best dining experience for a long time, for each of us! We called in for reservations, and the host nabbed us a table by the window, with an incredible view out across the bay. Upon arrival, Ron greeted us like we were family, and promptly offered us a tour of this very unique facility. The remains of a retired Coast Guard cutter, the entry way brings you into what looks to be a steel galleyway. Portholes peek through to the bar area and dining rooms. Up top, guests can reserve a private dining room, built from the original Bridge Cabin of the ship! Ron's original artwork adorned the walls of the place, and were quite unique - definitely adds to the decor. We sat down with the menu, and were pleased with the excellent variety of items available. We started off with the Clams Portuguese appetizer, and all LOVED it! In my opinion, it could have included a few more wheels of the Linguica, but the flavor was perfect. The drinks menu was very inviting, but considering that we were all extending our Dry January tradition, opted to try them on another visit. For our main course, my partner ordered the Beef Stroganoff. Being an aficionado of this dish, and having her own special recipe herself, she really loved how the flavors blended. Our guests ordered the Spaghetti di Frutti di Mare, and the Shrimp Louis salad. Both were delicious! I requested the Huckleberry-glazed Salmon, and was delighted with the consistency. The turmeric rice side dish was fantastic as well. Our favorite item was the Flowerpot Bread - a dense, two-toned baked roll, with a crusty shell. Very nice for wiping out all the delicious sauce residue from our meals. The parking was just a minor challenge; it is shared with the restaurant next door, so we ended up parking in what seemed to be boat trailer spots. Fortunately, there were no boats coming or going that evening, but it could be dicey during salmon season. We will definitely be back soon, however, to try out some of the other excellent-looking menu items!

    I really liked this place. Large seating area and friendly employees. Food was very good and the…read morepastries were top notch.

We will return when summer winds down. So, please give them some grace.) My earlier post: First of all, we did make reservations since it is summer and quite busy this time of year; and let me say I have been to Kismets three times before and I was very happy. We have recommended it to several people we know, and brought our friends to dine last night, July 2nd. We were so disappointed. And we were embarrassed, having talked it up to our friends. Things started out okay; our waitress seemed young and possibly inexperienced, but we were okay with her lack of personality (no smile, no enthusiasm.) We had wonderful Brussels sprouts appetizer and the sushi roll was perfect, very beautiful to look at and equally delicious. I won't fault the guy who made them. But to begin with, we were given the small containers of wasabi and pickled ginger and chopsticks but no individual plates to enjoy the appetizers or sushi, and our waitress was not anywhere to be found for at least half an hour, but probably more. Our dinner finally arrived one hour and twenty five minutes after we had been seated. It was mostly good, but the huge lag in time and apparent indifference of our waitress really took the shine off the entire experience. My kismet tips had lovely flavor but was not evenly hot; for instance, some of the mushrooms were cool to lukewarm. My greatest gripe is the absolutely terrible service though. I cannot comprehend how the owner could be present in that room the entire time we were there and hardly looked at us at all and apparently was unaware of how poorly we were treated. (Was our order lost? why on earth did it take so long to be served?)

We had delicious desserts à la mode, one was like a moist chocolate brownie with Icecream and strawberries, one a fruit creme brûlée. Our waiter was very attentive and helpful. He took our anniversary photo for us. We will like to come back again. Only other comment I'd give is that the stand alone tables, inside, seemed rather close quartered when all seats were used. There is seating outside but it was rather windy the evening we went so we ate inside.
