(Edit, to say that we appreciate Kismets Landing had a bad night last night and because they reached out to make things right. Not everyone does this, so it is appreciated. 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?) read more

Last night was the third time we've been to Kismet Landing. Each visit was outstanding. The two times before we were part of a group of friends and sat in the large back room which accommodated us well and was quiet enough for conversation. We all loved it. Last night we celebrated our 45th anniversary and sat in the main dining room, which is very pleasant. We had the most wonderful waiter; he and the owner seem to work together seamlessly to make your drinks and take care of your every need. We started with the Crispy Brussels Sprouts which was an appetizer I remembered fondly from a previous visit. I'm usually not a fan of that vegetable, but I would order them time and again! I chose the Kismet Tips which was delicious, and my husband had the Petite Beef Tenderloin Steak with Mushrooms and his was done to perfection. Sides of vegetables and mashed potatoes were good too. We shared New York Cheesecake with fresh strawberries for dessert. It was made fresh in house by the owner and it was a lovely ending to our meal. I'm an experienced home baker and cook so I will admit, I'm sometimes hard to please; no worries at Kismet. The food is excellent from start to finish, and the service impeccable. We live in Florence, but we will certainly be back and we'll likely bring family when they come to visit. This restaurant is such a gem, and not to be missed. read more

Amazing Food, Amazing Service & Amazing Ambiance. Definitely recommend, we've become regular customers

My boyfriend and I were helping my Mom move, and stumbled across this gem when everything nearby was closed. We arrived starving and grumpy. It was a delicious and unexpected treat, that we absolutely needed though we didn't know we needed it. The owner and waiter were both really helpful with helping each of us choose the best dish. We shared a ceviche (tasty but not special), we all LOVED our entrees, and my glass of Chardonnay was exceptional. The chicken piccata was the standout dish. The bartender was also making the most gorgeous looking sushi rolls, which we will try next time. It's right on the water. There isn't a view from the restaurant, but it would be a perfect post dinner walk on dock for a date night. read more

Food was good, atmosphere was good, a little small but cozy. Service is good and the bartender was awesome, very kind. Overall we will come back but it is pricey so only for special occasions. read more

Great food, great service. I have eaten here many times and this place does not disappoint. Food is consistently delicious and the service has been equally as good. Great folks, great restaurant. Highly recommend. read more

Creative and awesome chef who knows his culinary innovative skills. Delicious meals will definitely be back. Very hospital service and ambiance. read more

Service was great, ambiance nice, food was good but a couple of disappointments. We got a to-go order. I got the black cod fish n chips. The fish was good, but skimpy. the fries were like frozen shoestring fries - very disappointing. Coleslaw in to-go container, bland and also skimpy. Burger patties were good, but not much on the burger and the roll was a very plain roll. Guess we expected a little more! read more

The pride here is in the sushi, no doubt, other elements need more attention. I had the salmon belly on crispy rice, a small salad, and the ribeye steak medium. A lot of attention went into the sushi; certainly prepared with love and it was great! The crispy rice seemed a bit heavy for my taste but no deductions. The ribeye, although satisfying due to my need for dead cow after a few days of seafood, was too lean and chewy to make 5 stars. Same for the mashed potatoes and the side of diner-style veggies, which I felt were a bit unimaginative... The service was excellent, super attentive, and my server and everyone else asked me how I liked it. Well, I liked it.... good choice for dinner when in Reedsport! read more

Kismet's Landing is a great addition to the Reedsport restaurant scene. The entire building has been rehabbed and the interior has been tastefully decorated (site of former Waterfront Restaurant). Walls are a nice shade of blue with black wainscoting accented with black and white photographs; ceiling is of stamped copper, and tables are covered in black linen. We were there (as memory serves) on March 27, May 1, May 27 and May 30. Food always excellent - our favorites are the Kismet Tips and the chicken and or pork tenderloin Marsala. Also enjoy sushi and specialty cocktails such as the Northwest Huckleberry Drop. Owner Mia super friendly and a special nod to server Terra. read more

Kismet’s Landing - Sushi Bars Near Me - Reedsport, Oregon

In all fairness, we chose to eat at Kismet's on Valentine's Day. That being said, they greatly overextended themselves on that night. Perhaps reservations should not have been given for the back room. They obviously did not have the staffing in front or back of house to appropriately care for customers, and that will hopefully be a learning experience for them. It was an expensive reminder for me, and a clear warning about trusting this establishment in the future. It took over two hours to get our food. What we got was overpriced (for what it was) and underwhelming. Service was scarcely present, and at the end our server chose to shame us for expecting better instead of simply apologizing. That, actually, was the worst part and something I am not likely to get past. There are other restaurants in town (a fine alternative right next door) and I'm thinking they will be a better choice going forward. read more

Arrived on a Sunday not too many tables occupied. Waitress was great in the beginning with drinks and Apps . Entrees took a bit longer than anticipated. Chowder came out hot . Fish came out hot but slightly greasy. Fries came out warm if not cold pending on which side of plate. Coleslaw came out Warm which was not great. As more tables were filling up the one waitress was not enough. She went from real happy to pissy in like 1 hour .. May be back for sushi . Otherwise probably not. read more

Excellent food, drinks and service! Enjoyed the cocktails and no-proof cocktails Will definitely be back next time we are in the area

The Sushi is AMAZING. Friendly, attentive staff...even when they were PACKED on a Wednesday night. Fresh, seasonal deserts like the blueberry crisp are delicious. It's a consistently outstanding dining experience. read more

Best King Salmon dinner I've ever tasted and I have tasted many! The clam chowder was also wonderful. My dish of scampi was devine!

Service was prompt and super friendly. Great selection of food and all that we ordered had incredible flavor! (Crab cakes, two sushi rolls, pork tenderloin Marsala, and smoked chicken linguine dish) Will be back! read more

When we heard Rob was the chef here, we had to try it. We were not disappointed. We've been here a few times. Keep up the good work. Thanks, Gary Kester read more

Really worth it! Four of us went here on Sunday. Server was great and all our entrees were delicious. Seafood pasta and pesto seafood pasta. We will be back here for sure this trip. read more

Hands down the best sushi I've ever had. But it doesn't stop there... delicious main courses. My favorite is probably the locally caught salmon or black cod. But honestly, it's hard for me to get past the sushi, LOL. Kismet roll is always a winner and the Avocado Crispy Rice is topped with their house made garlic chili crunch, which is addictive. Beautiful flowers on all of the tables, friendly staff and house made desserts add to the experience. read more

I cant rave about this place enough! The food is hands down the best around. Absolutely, fantastic sushi.

Had high expectations due to numerous great review, however, I was disappointed by the quality of food (calamari, ahi salad and fish n chips. "Average" at best is my honest opinion read more

We are so fortunate to have Kismet's Landing in our area. Every time we have gone we have had an exceptional experience- beautiful ambiance complete with huge colorful local dahlias, wonderful service and great, fresh, beautifully presented food! Last night was no exception, although this time we were a large party of 12 celebrating 2 epic birthdays! We were so kindly accommodated (with advance notice, of course) received excellent service and everyone enjoyed their food and drink. We shared the brussels sprouts, albacore ceviche and beef tips appetizers which were devoured and created at least one new brussels sprouts devotee! Our entrees ranged from fish and chips to burgers, pork tenderloin, king salmon and smoked chicken linguini. The ginger pear martini is a favorite. Bravo! Thank you for such a great time! read more

I went to Kismit's Landing with a group of local neighbors to memorialize the loss of one of our friend's chickens. As with any good wake, a few good stories and a couple of drinks makes everything seem better! The inside is upscale and somewhat elegant looking. They have a nice copper ceiling, cloth napkins, table cloths, and are generally just a nicely decorated restaurant. It has the ambiance where you could go out for a special occasion, and is one of the nicer places in Reedsport. The group ordered crispy brussel sprouts which were delicious, and California rolls which I didn't try because I don't like them, but others said they were good. We also had drinks. I tried the Huckleberry cocktail and enjoyed it. (It's pretty sweet.) For my lunch, I had the smoked chicken linguini, which had a nice Alfredo sauce and a great flavor. It was a nice serving amount, so I took about half home for the next day's lunch. My friends ordered various items including salads, fish & chips, and smashed burgers and everyone said they enjoyed their meal. The service was friendly and attentive. The prices are slightly high, but not outrageous for today's market. Lunch will range around $20, dinner up to $50. Overall, we gave Iris the chicken a good send off, while enjoying a tasty meal, a few good drinks, and a lot of good laughs. Cheers to Iris in that heavenly coop in the sky! We took our family out to eat a few weeks after our chicken wake. Food was enjoyed by everyone, and I added a few more photos. read more

We had a wonderful experience here for our anniversary night out. I had the salmon and my husband had fresh halibut. Both of us give our dinners a 5 out of 5. Fish was cooked to perfection with a coconut rice and fresh veggies not over cooked. The pie for desert was home made by the owner and was delicious . This is the best restaurant in Reedsport, and I loved the fresh local flowers on the cloth covered tables. Our waitress was spot on with letting us have our cocktail before serving our meal read more

Brussel Sprouts and beef tips are Great. The service was exceptional and very friendly. Our steaks where extremely tender. It was so nice to go to a restaurant and be able to sit next to some friends and be able to hear them, no TVs. We will definitely be back for the Cod and the Suchi!!! read more

Everything was awesome. We'll be back when we're in town again. You won't be disappointed, food and service was amazing. Thank you

We have been watching this place for a couple months and finally had the opportunity to try it. Perfect steak and salmon dinners. The drinks from the bar were excellent as well. We look forward to our next trip back there. read more

Kismet’s Landing - Sirloin steak - Sushi Bars Near Me - Reedsport, Oregon

Service and food are top notch. Navigator burger is the salty beef you want. The sushi is unique and delicious. Happy eating.

This was our first visit to Kismet's Landing and it won't be our last! Twenty-five years ago, which was the last time I was in the building, it was a dark old bar. I was pleasantly surprised by the beautifully updated decor. They definitely thought out all of the details. We ordered two cocktails--the Northwest Huckleberry Drop and the Lemon Lavender Mojito. The Mojito was so fragrant with the mint and lavender garnish. We also had two sushi rolls--the California and the Kismet. Both were unique, fresh and were elevated with a PNW flair. I definitely recommend a visit! read more

We were visiting from California and looking for a nice local place to eat. We were so wonderful surprised by the amazingly delicious plates and friendly service.

Absolutely amazing! I travel all over the country. I have the opportunity to eat at some of the most amazing establishments and I can tell you this is in the top 3 of any of them! Absolutely every portion of our meal was unreal! The steak appetizer was delicious! The smoked chicken linguine was the best linguine I have ever had! The deserts, amazing! The craft cocktails were superior to any I have had in Seattle! The service was 5 stars!! read more

Updated: 12-28-2024 Sushi was old, my coconut shrimp dinner came out over cooked close to burnt. Took 1 hour 50 minutes to get our order. Couple came in about 10 minutes after we did. They got their order finished eating before ours came out. Service was poor, had to ask for sushi setup after sushi was brought to our table. Server asked if we wanted refill on our coffee, 20 minutes later she came with coffee. Not a good experience. Will not be back. I was so excited about a new restaurant in our area. Note: I'm raising to a 2, due to the quick response from the owner. To me this shows they do care about service and food. Will adjust after I try the food and service again. read more

The interior is a bit black for my taste, so we sat outside. The server was great, but the wait for our food was at least 1/2 hour. My chopped salad seemed to have a SW theme, but the dressing was super bland and a bit excessive. It was very light on the ingredients besides lettuce, and for $9 they added 3 prawns. I think 4 might have been reasonable. Overall very disappointing. read more

We were in Winchester Bay to help family and after a long weekend of working hard we stopped here and had the best meal we've had in a long time.

It won't disappoint. read more

this was some of the best sushi of my life. I got the locals and the spicy one with the pickled jalapeños on top and I was not disappointed. Jason hooked me up and it was divine. read more

The food was so good! Our waitress was so friendly, funny and on top of her game! Never had to ask for refills.
