ANOTHER EXCELLENT LUNCH!!! This place is fantastic, great wait staff (today we had GABRIELLE who was top notch). We had some of our favorite dishes. A must try is their MARGHERITA FLAT BREAD, the best anywhere. CLAM CHOWDER BOWL award winner year after year. HALIBUT FISH AND CHIPS so fresh, moist and melt in your mouth delicious. Do not forget dessert, the BROWNIE SUNDAE. It was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. We know that you will enjoy this place. 5***** read more

On our way to Victoria BC we spent one night in Astoria, OR, at a wonderful Lloyd Hotel on the waterfront. Looking for a nice dinner, we settled on the Silver Salmon Grille on Commercial Street because it had Salmon in the name. The restaurant is very nicely decorated with lots of fish and marine decorations. We were seated in a very nice room that was not at all very busy. That said, the waiter was quite hard to get to pay attention to the two of us. Once we did have his attention and we had menus, it was, again, a bit difficult to get him to take our orders. The food was mediocre, at best. Final evaluation - the restaurant itself is very nicely appointed and has a nice read more

Clean inside. Try to present as "fancy" but isn't. Menu has some good selections, but unfortunately, the food fell short of being really good. Halibut was over cooked. Ordered "garlic fries" with the halibut. Literal chunks of garlic on the fries. I appreciate this, as I love garlic. But the fries were cold. The fish and chips also came with some broccoli. Also cold. Tiger shrimp cocktail-menu says 9 large shrimp. They were medium sized at best with blank cocktail sauce. Salmon your way was ordered grilled. Also over done and full of bones. Not cooked with the sauce just served on the side. Kiddo ordered the jambalaya. $30 and only had two shrimp. Didn't taste fresh. The sauces that came with the meals came out with a "crust" on top as if they had been sitting out for some time. Server was friendly enough and quick. Overall, wouldn't come back. read more

Silver Salmon Grille - Salmon your way. Grilled. Sauce on side. Lots of bones in the fish. Sauce had a "crust" on top like it had been sitting out for awhile. - Seafood Near Me - Astoria, Oregon

The salmon was delicious, the server was very attentive and the ambiance was outstanding.

Local chinook salmon baked perfectly and sooo tasty. Halibut fish-and-chips excellent, tender and wonderful flavor. Rice pilaf worth praising. Swedish Cream! And Fast service. In a lovely old place. read more

Our hotel desk person recommended this place and glad she did. I ordered the blackened salmon with garlic mashed potatoes. The salmon was fantastic, mashed potatoes were pretty thick and did not really have a lot of garlic flavor but still edible. Also ordered the burnt steak ends. The Cajun seasoning was great and the steak was tender. Forgot to get a picture of the Caesar salad but it was large and full of flavor. Forgot to get desert we also shared the hot fudge brownie which was also really good. Now to the staff. They were very friendly and attentive. And the ambiance was very nice. Of course we love places done in dark woods read more

Definitely go early if you want to snag a spot for this great happy hour because the space is quite popular. We will definitely be back! read more

The owner, John Sowa, is a trickster. He lost his business, Sweet Basil Cafe, in Cannon Beach because he didn't pay his rent. Locals in CB say that he scammed the owner of Puppy Love by the Sea. Apparently he tried to buy the store and stiffed the poor lady. Watch out for John. He will screw you over if given the chance. read more

Food and service were good. Decent portions and staff friendly. We were passing thru on our way to Washington. Would visit again if we are in town. read more

We were on a weekend trip to Astoria and fell in love with this restaurant! We didn't know where to go but this had good reviews and was a nice walk from our hotel. Best decision ever. It was so good we went back both nights. First night we got the artichoke hearts, jambalaya and grilled Salmon. It was the best Salmon I think I have ever had. Seasoned perfectly and cooked amazing. The Jambalaya did not skimp on the seafood and was super delicious. The next night we did the two totally different meals and once again was in awh. We had the same waiter both nights who recognized us. He was super friendly, helped us make good choices for food, was quick and overall very kind. This place was quiet, clean and charming. read more

Awesome food! I had halibut fish & chips and my husband had salmon fish & chips with sweet potato fries. We also shared a brownie with ice cream dessert. Service was great. Highly recommend! read more

Salmon Tortellini was amazing. The Berry cream desert a fav! Crab salad too much lettuce. Prawn appetizer just ok. Great atmosphere! read more

Fantastic atmosphere with a very attentive staff I ordered the filet with garlic mashed Had an after dinner bourbon old fashioned My steak was prepared to perfection with great flavor Highly recommend this place if you're in the area read more

Interesting menu, food was Wéll prepared. I had the baked oyster which was great. Desserts were a real treat. The noise level was quite ok. My wife thought the waitstaff was in a bit of a hurry to remove our plates. read more

We didn't have reservations but were able to get seated in the bar. The halibut in the fish and chips was amazing. The breading was light, stuck to the fish amazingly and was moist without bring watery, amazing job! The steak fries were great. The crab cakes were excellent too. We got a slice of the key line pie to go, it was a sketchy color of green and not very good. They didn't have a great wine selection by the glass. Our server was the bartender and he was attentive, friendly, and did a fantastic job. The kitchen had shorted my order by one piece of fish and he caught it as he was setting it down and they brought me out 2 more pieces of halibut. Way to be attentive and give extra to fix it. I would strongly recommend eating here, the food and service was great. Just don't get the key lime pie. read more

Theatre plans after dinner a block away, so this downtown location is ideal. Dining ambiance is old school with the dimly lit, picture lined narrow room, stamped tin ceilings and the feel of a different era, a time when the building was young. My Manhattan and her Margarita were prepared perfect, you might even say over the top. I enjoyed the generous portion of blackened salmon that was well seasoned without being overwhelming. My wife's halibut fish & chips were perfect and the serving adequate when paired with the clam chowder. Friendly attentive service, delicious food and reasonable pricing makes Silver Salmon a new option when we are out on the town. read more

Overall, the experience was good but it's the only place I've ever sent a meal back. The crawfish ettufe (sp?) was so bad my coworker and I couldn't eat it. The service staff was great and really wanted to give us a much better experience than the food offered, and the ambiance was pretty nice. I don't not recommend, but I definitely do not recommend the crawfish. read more

Me and my party was treated as if we were extremely unwelcome. So in a nutshell we left and had an amazing time at another restaurant. read more

Amazing food and ambiance! The filet mignon was the best I've ever had. Very nice experience.

Classic food, with classic service, in a classic setting. This place is everything I hoped it would be. Our server had been working there for over 20 years. She shared a wonderful story about the restaurant's history and had deep familiarity with everything on the menu. My fiancée and I came here for lunch. We enjoyed a local riesling and ordered shrimp cocktail, clam chowder, and oyster stew (the daily special). We would give all three of those dishes a near-perfect score. We cannot wait to eat here again. If you want classic seafood in Astoria, I strongly recommend Silver Salmon. read more

We have been coming to the Silver Salmon since it first opened in 2001. Immediately fell in love with his award winning clam chowder. When we came for dinner on 11/20/2025 we were told the owner had sold about 3 years ago but that the chowder recipe hadn't changed. IT HAS CHANGED; Isn't not the same, so we were disappointed. Probably won't be going back on all our next visits. read more

Took a party of 10, including kids, on a weeknight. Calamari appetizer was very good. Those who had steaks were very happy, crab mac&cheese was amazing, fish n chips cooked just right and burgers got great reviews. All around very good dinner. We took the desserts to go. Have to say that this is where they faltered. Swedish cream was just ok and the bourbon pecan cheesecake was way overcooked. The cheesecake texture was mealy and the crust was burnt. As someone who has worked in a high end restaurant, it should have never been served. read more

A fantastic place to get extraordinary seafood in the Astoria area. They have solid clam chowder that I will happily endorse several times over. I highly, highly recommend their cheese bread. It is baked so well and yeah the taste is just to die for. Two pieces are not enough and I would recommend getting three. Their steak end bits appetizer is also very good and their desserts are unique and worth every penny Prices are not too bad, service is friendly, and the restaurant has nice ambiance and decor that illustrates historical Astoria. read more

Great experience at Silver Salmon! Ethan gave us outstanding service, and the food was excellent. Highly recommend!

The service was good, food prep was very slow and mediocre taste. We have been multiple times and it has, unfortunately, gone down.

Excellent food! Seated quickly Food served promptly Waitress quick to fill drinks Felt rushed Quiet, private booth. Quality decor that matches the city Male waiters could use more warmth when greeting, listening, conversing. read more

Service was amazing, but the Bacon and Crab Mac&Cheese was even better! I highly recommend this place! Plus, the place is haunted, just like a lot of Astoria! read more

We came into enjoy their happy hour as a party of 2 on Saturday at 5:30. We were seated right away, and I started with a classic margarita, which was nice-they make great drinks and the bar was chill! We ordered 4 items on the happy hour menu: Caesar salad: their dressing on the Caesar salad was very good, and complimented all of our food choices. Smoked salmon sliders: these were amazing-the salmon was fresh and we loved the bread it came on. The chili aioli these came on made these delectable. This was the most unique item on their happy hour menu and we loved it. Calamari Fritti-we are always up for a calamari! These were great. Clam chowder-this was my favorite thing we ordered. This chowder was a hit, and I didn't want to share. They claim this is an award winning chowder on their menu, and it is easy to see why. Their food and service here is solid. We left feeling refreshed and not too full. We love their bar, and they blew us away with their happy hour. We would love to come back and do a more formal dinner next time. read more

This restaurant is a bright light in Astoria Oregon. Stopped in on recommendation of two other local businesses in town. Service is beyond impeccable, establishment is clean, spacious and relaxing. Had an order of the appetizer smoked salmon sliders. Never had such smooth, light and delicious smoked salmon in my life! Like butter. Can't wait to return for full entree and hopefully dessert. read more

Celebrated our 60th anniversary here for lunch with friends. Every ones food was over the top for quality and quantity. I had the best pan fried oysters ever and my wife had fish and chips w/salmon and halibut-wow. Others had a fabulous seafood fetticini and a burger to die for. Service was very good and efficient too. The place had an intimate understated upscale vibe as well. We'll be back. read more

While travelling through the Pacific Northwest on motorcycles we were recommended to dine here. Caesar salad was tasty. Clam Chowder was a thick and creamy base with some clams. Chicken alfredo good...needed salt. Fish and chips good read more

I wanted to go out for dinner to celebrate our anniversary (October 30, 2020). Their mention of prime rib special was what really caught my eye, especially on a Friday evening. I made a reservation through their website earlier that week and received an email confirmation the day before (29th). This stressed me out a bit because an actual person had to respond back to my email confirming my reservation. Usually, other restaurants and dining apps confirm reservations spontaneously. If their system is still like this, I recommend making your reservations well in advance. Located on one of the main roads in downtown Astoria, it's majority street parking. Parking can sometimes be difficult to find but we got lucky a block before the restaurant. Upon checking in with the hostess, and having my email confirmation up on my phone. It took her a while to seat us, I'm not sure if our reservation was written down, but we were eventually seated. We started with the Pacific Rim Cheese Bread and I had originally planned on getting their Filet Mignon but once our waiter mentioned the special (prime rib) as they were taking our order... I CAVED. Did I regret it? Pf, no. Though nothing really stood out to me. But if we were to eat here again, I would like to try one of their seafood dishes. read more

Silver Salmon Grille - Prime Rib, French fries, string beans, coconut battered shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Astoria, Oregon

Lunch for 3 here yesterday. One of the better meals we've had in the last week. Setting is very nice, service was great. I started with a cup of the clam chowder - excellent, but very rich and creamy, a cup was plenty for me. The halibut fish and chips were great, their fries are cut very thin, a little like McDonalds. The cole slaw is very vinegary, don't order it if you don't like a strong acidity. My wife had the coconut prawns which she really enjoyed, and our friend had the shrimp cocktail appetizer which looked wonderful - it was just enough for lunch for her. Overall, a great experience. This would be a nice place for a special dinner. read more

Delicious clam chowder (on HH!) and great customer service. Look up and you'll see cards on the ceiling from a magician which is cool. The only negative was the glass cups had subtle lip stains on them. Would go back here for another great experience. read more

We were visiting from PA. First, Hannah was one of finest associates ever met, personable and sweet. Second, food was superb. Best clam chowder ever, lobster tasty, grilled salmon cooked perfectly. Fruit pilaf tasty. Ambiance was homey cannot recommend enough read more

Came here for lunch with my wife on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Limited menu but I ordered the fish and chips and my wife ordered the chicken pesto sandwich. Fish was good and the chips were alright. The chicken sandwich didn't taste anything like pesto but was okay and the sweet potato fries were alright. Atmosphere 4/5 Food 2/5 Service 5/5 read more

Best clam chowder in town. The chowder was creamy and thick with plenty of clams in it. The halibut and steak fries were really delicious too. The halibut was cooked just right. Great service.
