After coming down the coast to visit Newport, we were looking for a good brunch spot along the way…read more We visited the Hilltop Cafe Bistro, and may I say, what a great experience! If you're from the Portland metro area and visit the coast, this is a nice place to try out. The portions were generous. The pancake order comes with four, and they are BIG. The potatoes were cooked with onion, which gives them a nice taste. The bacon also had a great texture; usually, when you try new diners, the bacon tends to be more squishy. If you're not a fan of that, then this bacon is for you!The biggest surprise was their sourdough toast. It had a crunchy crust, a fluffy inside, and great taste--you can definitely tell it's made from scratch every day! Overall, the staff was great. One thing to keep in mind is that there isn't much room; I'd say it holds about 40 to 50 people. Most dishes are around the $15-$20 mark, but for the generous portions and great taste, Hilltop Cafe Bistro is a 9.1/10!

Wow , We finally stopped into this Fish restaurant as we have passed it many times on our jaunts…read moreup and down the coast. This place is Amazing ! The fish for their fish and chips is the freshest as it's caught right in Seal Rock area! My wife got the cod fish and chips and I had the Halibut fish and chips and Oh my ... They were the best I've had, Ever ! And I've been up and down the coast for years and it had been recommended to us, but we are always going by to Newport and back down home so we are so glad we finally stopped here ! If your looking for the best fish and chips anywhere on the central coast of Oregon, Luna Sea should be your top choice !

The ambiance is kitschy cute, but nothing special. They did have a guy playing guitar, which was a…read morenice surprise. The New Zealand drink lady was awesome, but our server was mediocre. Ordered halibut fish and chips, Luna Sea combination plate and a small salad. Never saw the salad, but weren't charged, so a wash. Took our order and we never saw her again. Halibut was a little fishy, albacore was dry, but the salmon was really good. Portion sizes were good, but dry and fishy don't cut it. We saw lots of rave reviews, so we gave it a shot, but it's one and done for us. On the Hook fish and chips is significantly better, for less money, but it's a food truck. Still, better flavor and portions. Sorry Luna Sea, did not live up to the reviews.

I review restaurants with my OAT method:…read more Overall experience - My husband and I were making our way up the coast after staying at Heceta Head lighthouse. We were told that Ona was the chef's restaurant and wanted to come check it out. Appearance - We recommend sitting outside on their patio. Since it was cool they had the heaters running and on warmer days they can open up the garage doors. Taste - I ordered the crab cakes and that is what is truly giving this a 5/5!! I wish I ordered more. They were so yummy! I also got a bowl of the clam chowder that was great. My husband ordered the albacore steak sandwich and said it had a large piece of fish with good seasoning but mentioned he wouldn't order it again. We happened to be there during happy hour and wanted to try oysters for the first time. Let's just say it was a taste of the ocean and will be our last :/ Oysters are just not for us! I've heard that oysters can be seasoned and spruced up to help add more flavor, but these were not. I wonder if it would have helped us enjoy them more?

Atmosphere: Casual spot with a patio…read more Food: Oh my god! The food was great. Some of the best fish and chips I've ever had. Love that they offer some fish that you wouldn't see as often for Fish and Chips. We got the Albacore, Salmon, Halibut Combo. Every single one was delicious. I'm coming here every time I pass by. Price: Prices were reasonable for what you get. Service: Service was a bit slow. If anything was lacking, it was probably this, but not enough to ruin the experience. Parking: Street parking, which can be a bit tricky depending on when you go but we managed to find a spot.

This was within walking distance of our hotel room so we thought we'd give it a shot. We shared the…read moreluna sea combo which came with two pieces each of halibut, albacore, and salmon. The salmon was the best one. It was flavorful and tender. I liked the halibut too because it was very clean tasting and flaky. The albacore was forgettable. The texture was mushier and tasted fishier. Even with the subpar albacore, the whole meal was great. The fries were thick and fluffy. I appreciated that they were generous with the ketchup and tartar sauce. I also liked that despite this being a fried dish, it didn't feel greasy or heavy. It's not cheap, but I think it's worth it. Service was friendly. This is a great place to visit when you're in town!

The sign outside says Best Bloody Marys this side of the Mississippi. I have seen some pretty over…read morethe top drinks lately and was curious about their version - - decided to stop in one afternoon to give it a try. The interior of the place was not at all what I had expected. I was thinking dark, low lights, lots of booths and a large bar. I was surprised to find a big open room with a bar on the side, next to a kitchen window, tables in the front and some gaming and a pool table in the back half. I heard some of the regulars talking about some new games back there but I didn't venture past my comfortable bar stool. Didn't see the food menu but most of the folks had baskets full of fried food and condiments. I stuck with my Bloody Maria idea and it was tasty - - the bartender filled it with a variety of pickled veggies and a pepperoni stick. They have a parking lot out front and a covered outdoor area for smokers.

Besides the view the food is exceptionally fresh and delicious, I ordered the New Seafood platter so I could try a lot of different items on the menu. The chilled Dungeness crab was very good and tasty. No need to add anything! The fresh shucked oysters were tasty and fresh and clean. The crab dip was exceptionally good with chucks of crab meat to eat with the fried won ton chips & crackers. The ceviche was okay and also the spicy shrimp salad. The clam chowder was very good and flavorful and it was okay on the thicker side, came out nice and hot not warm. My wife had the Halibut & garlic fries which the French fries were very tasty and crispy and the halibut was great with a lightly breaded batter. Service was great and waiter was friendly Restroom they have 1 on the 1st floor and another one on the 2nd floor to be shared by both men & women. Restroom was clean only thing with the amount of customers they can accommodate you most likely have to wait to use the restroom. Entrance is about 4 steps to enter with hand rail on one side, did not see a wheelchair accessible ramp. Pets are allowed. We saw couple of retrievers seating outside with their owners.

The food is fresh and artfully prepared, and everything we've ordered in several visits has been delicious and very reasonably priced. The service is great, the view of Alsea Bay is stunning from the lounge as well as the main dining area, and while I'm at it, I should mention the drinks are excellent as well! The only reason I'm not giving them 5 stars is there is a little trick to finding it in the midst of the Bayshore development, which is probably why they aren't packed to the gills every night. As much as I'd like to keep this place our little "locals secret", however, they deserve more folks making that turn at the convenience store just north of the Waldport Bridge and following the main road down to the bottom of the hill. It really isn't that hard to find! So consider this a five star review after all!
