Unlike many tourist traps, the food here was excellent! The clam chowder had notes of white wine. Fish n chips lovely. Mac n cheese with clams delightful. Oysters on a half shell excellent! And the view is lovely. Fast service, friendly staff! I'll be coming back. read more

We had hoped for nice fresh local seafood and chowder. Ordered three items, one had a gross black hair right on the top of it and a second literally had a bug in it. Sitting at the table seriously felt like was going to throw up. I don't doubt the seafood is fresh but seriously doubt about the cleanliness of this kitchen and staff. Thanks Jennifer. Can somebody get a health inspector out here? read more

We had high hopes from looking at the menu beforehand, and were not at all disappointed! The food was well prepared, portions (crab in the mac&cheese, steelhead added to a salad) were generous, and everything was tasty. 5* for sure. Seating outside was comfortable in evening air with heaters for the Oregon-coast-in-June cool. read more

One of our favorite restaurants at the Oregon Coast. The oyster Rockoyaki is to die for. We always have an order to start the experience. Netarts Bay oysters in an excellent sauce cooked in the pizza oven. Yumm. The entire menu rocks. Good place for kids too. Right on the bay and always busy. Enjoy. read more

Four of us arrived about 6 on a Friday night. Parking was easy in the adjacent lot. The hostess was very friendly and seated us on the outside patio with a view of the bay. Our server was professional and efficient and was pleasant about my delay in ordering. Everything looked good so I was having difficulty with my choices. Drink orders were taken and delivered quickly. Local beers are available as well as a full bar. We had the warm crab dip appetizer, clam chowder, steak and potatoes, fish and chips, vegetable bowl with additional shrimp and oysters and chips. I was surprised to see oysters and chips on the menu. The food was good and everyone was happy with their selections. The restaurant has a rustic ambiance and was a pleasant experience, read more

Stopped for lunch on Monday / not as crazy busy as some other times we've been here. Food was excellent and not terribly pricey as some other places with beautiful beach view. Service was excellent and lots of parking that we also really appreciated! read more

We had such a marvelous experience here! The food is super fresh and delicious and all four of us loved our meals. We are planning on coming back here when we return to Oregon next month. read more

Oh my. What a gem. The staff is friendly. Alana was our awesome waitress. She has the best personality, friendly and knows the menu. The view of the bay from the partially enclosed outdoor seating is picturesque. Building is rustic yet very nice. Food is excellent! Local grown veggies for the salad! Fresh seafood! Well prepared. Don't forget to try the cocktail for charity. What an awesome concept. Beautiful drive to the location. read more

1st of all the food was amazing, the service was excellent Carly took great care of us. I don't know if I've ever had a more amazing experience. The atmosphere was superb. The steak was delicious, as were the potatoes. Carly sat us in a corner and added another table since there was 7 of us, so there would be more room. I'm glad I made reservations because the place was filling up fast. Everyone loved their food and dessert was top notch! 5 + stars in my book, and pretty sure everyone in our party would say the same thing. read more

This was a fantastic dinner! We came in after a day of sight seeing along the coast. Out drinks were created by one of the kitchen staff, and had the perfect amount of flair. My shrimp and grits was unique and delicious. Creamy grits, tender shrimp, and perfectly complimenting veggies. A great little seaside establishment that will add perfectly to your Oregon Coast itinerary. read more

The Schooner Restaurant & Lounge - The Mer-Lore cocktail - Seafood Near Me - Netarts, Oregon

Stumbled upon this place after a decent hike near Cape Lookout. Sat outside in their protected from wind patio (so didn't see interior decor). Food was tasty. A particular note on the special of the day - a flatbread with smoked salmon. It was lively with a smattering of lemon zest. I'm going to recreate at home! Service was snappy - young staff eager to take your plates away. I forgot to photo the clam chowder. It was very good. read more

This was a great spot! The view was excellent and has a very big parking lot. We stopped in after visiting Tunnel Beach on the weekend and the place was busy but not overly crowded. The weather was beautiful so we opted for the outdoor seating. The waitress we had was very friendly and attentive!! Excellent service! Our food was very yummy and portions were large for a lunch order, which made it well priced. I can't wait to go back! read more

Overall, a very disappointing customer service experience. The food was good, but the service was beyond slow. We spent about 30 minutes waiting for a table and then over 50 minutes waiting for our food after we were seated. Delays can happen, especially on a busy Saturday night, but the biggest issue was the lack of communication. We were told the wait for a table would be about 10 minutes, yet we ended up waiting three times that long. Once seated, no one mentioned any kitchen delays. It wasn't until we asked about our order 45 minutes after placing it that we were informed there was a problem. To make matters worse, tables around us that were seated after we arrived were served, finished their meals, and paid their bills before we even received a refill on a glass of water. I actually got up to find a pitch and bring it to our table for our family to refill their glasses. We shared our concerns with the general manager, hoping for some acknowledgment of the poor experience, but he did not seem to believe that anything had been handled improperly on the restaurant's end. While the food was enjoyable, the service and lack of accountability completely overshadowed it. Unfortunately, we won't be returning. read more

Great spot for seafood and other local fare. Good parking. Nice views from the outdoor patio which has heat lamps.

We been coming here for years and love coming sharing their Calamari salad!!! The salad is always so fresh, herby, and spicy!! We also got their prawn pasta special and it was very hearty and buttery. read more

Started with the clam chowder that tasted more like wild rice soup, clams were chewy. Cheeseburger was cooked as requested, salt pepper and maybe some paprika, good size burger. miso Glazed steelhead, tender cooked perfectly. Breaded fried oysters and fries, not overly breaded, some tender, some chewy. Sat by their pizza oven- best seat next to outside. read more

They really did have the best clam chowder. Pretty cool. Service was great. They have lots of seating, even for bigger groups.

Honestly I didn't even know Netarts existed but I somehow took a wrong turn on my way to Cannon Beach and it ended up being the right place to be. Nestled along the bay is The Schooner restaurant, which is a charming place to spend an hour or so munching on some good food. The warm lighting, ample seating, and wood interior makes it a cozy place to spend some time, and the staff are incredible. They're highly attentive, able to make you feel like you're the only customer in the restaurant even when you're not, and will get you your food fast! Very generous portions of food for what you pay. Personally felt like the fish had more breading than fish and needed more flavor, as did the Cole slaw, but definitely cooked the right away. Didn't leave me feeling super greasy and like I had to pass out on the beach after. Felt good enough to go for a jog! read more

Wonderful dinner and drinks on a gorgeous Netarts evening. We are camping nearby and didn't want to travel far for dinner the day we arrived. We decided to go to Schooners; we've been before but this time the food was better, the cocktails were yummy and the service was exceptional! My husband ordered traditional fish & chips and I went with the cod and a side salad. While both options were great, the fries were a little on the blonde side and could have used a few extra minutes in the fryer. My lemon drop was amazing with a sugar rim! Our waitress/bartender offered excellent, friendly service and while the restaurant was full, the staff handled it like pros! It is a little pricey, but not more than most coastal eateries. You can't beat the view. We will be back! read more

The best thing about this place is the view of Netarts Bay. Unfortunately, everything else, not so much. My fist tip off was AC/DC blasting in the diningroom. That should have been a clear warning. Mu friend and I each ordered drinks and let's just say that my Cosmopolitan left a lot to be desired. I found it undrinkable. When I asked fir a replacement, the server retorted, 'well, its what you ordered.' I asked for a Manhattan and came to the table in an effervescent state due to it being shaken to near death. I ordered steamers as an app and they were delivered with our entrees. Our server never checked in with us and my guess is, he had to work both the bar area and bar deck area. My friend shared that her crab cakes, salad, and drink were fine. He charged me for the awful drink and never asked us about how our meal was. Never coming here again. read more

We ordered 2 cheeseburgers with fries to go. Hamburger was way under cooked and didn't taste fresh. The fries were not freshly cooked. Tasted old like they had been under a warming lamp. Hope their seafood and pizza is better. We gave the hamburger to our dog! That's how bad it was. I don't mind paying for good food but $16 dollars for each burger is highway robbery!!! read more

We went for a family girls vacation for Mother's Day! We stayed at a nearby house that recommended the establishment- I was super impressed!! Great views, staff friendly, food came promptly and was delicious!! The best part I wasn't shocked by the bill for 5 of us it was $200 - and, considering most of us had seafood I think that was a bargain!! We will definitely revisit if vacationing in the area again!! read more

Service was spot on! I had the Oyster Rockoyaki x2, they were so delicious had a 2nd order of them. The clam chowder was creamy and lots of clams. Ordered the wood fired flatbread they have a rotating special on these. If you're on the Oregon coast I would recommend eating here. read more

We've been visiting this area for years, and we still love their food. We arrived on a busy Sunday night, with a 30-minute wait list. We enjoyed playing corn hole on the extended patio, and we got called in. My husband didn't care for the table near the kitchen and he went out to talk to the hostess. And that's where things went wrong. They did offer one other table, but we decided we preferred to be outside. Instead of just putting us back on the wait list, the younger hostess made a smart remark about we should have told her that sooner, and actually started chastising my husband for making her job harder. She wasn't wrong / I was hungry and a little miffed at the man myself - so I walked away and waited in the car. Turns out, she assumed we left and never put us back on the list, so after waiting another half-hour, we checked and she was going to just put us back on the wait list. So we left. I was really disappointed that this was handled poorly - I accept our part in the miscommunication, but the hostess certainly was not professional or helpful. read more

Lovely restaurant in Netarts. Great service and excellent food. We had the shrimp and grits and the Crab Mac and Cheese. Super yummy and delicious excellent portions. We sat out on the patio and had the best view. Lovely experience. Will come back some day soon. read more

Almost a perfect place. But some of the food isn't as good as it used to be. The oysters were slimy and had a weird film. Chowder is delicious! Servers are very nice. read more

Fantastic location on the water with a big covered outdoor seating area that is heated when it's cold out. Also has indoor seating. Excellent menu with options for everyone. We had all kinds of dietary restrictions in our group and everyone had a satisfying experience. Service was prompt, friendly and attentive. And they seemed to be well staffed for the busy summer crowds. The only thing I found less than impressive was their clam chowder. It was flavorless, gloppy and lukewarm. Given the seafood themed menu they deserve to have a better chowder. read more

The Schooner Restaurant & Lounge - Smoked salmon spread with house made chips. - Seafood Near Me - Netarts, Oregon

Tried it again, and "slowmaggedon" the walking catastrophe behind the bar did his thing. I have a 5 minute rule at this place. If I'm sitting at the bar (15 seats maybe in a U configuration) I need to be acknowledged within 5 minutes or I know it's going to be a long night. I don't need much, a simple hi, maybe a "I'll be right there", shoot, I'd take simple eye contact . Nope, not even when they have three people behind the bar here did that happen Monday. They focus on the single task in front of them and that's it. One order, one drink, one customer. That's it. Focus. Did they survey the bar like normal bar tenders and provide refills or even check on any new guest with nothing in front of them? To hard to keep track I guess. That's where they lose me. There aren't that many seats at the bar. How hard is it to let someone know you'll be there when you get a chance? We all get it, if it's busy, we can be patient. No problem. I gave them 7 minutes Monday and walked when one of their friends walked up to the bar, was greeted, and served while the rest of us watched. I try to support local businesses, but the service here is consistently just that bad. The food here can be great, but the penalty is that the bar is terrible. The lack of effort behind the bar and the single task focus directly affects the restaurant as well. read more

We enjoyed a fresh, quality, delicious dinner at The Schooner after hiking Cape Lookout. I had steelhead which was cooked to perfection, very moist and with delicious, healthy sides of quinoa and roasted local vegetables. My husband enjoyed a very tasty and well prepared burger nice condiments and good fries. I always judge a restaurant by its salad. We shared a salad which was incredibly fresh and very generous. Dressing I think was house made. The service was attentive, and the view of the bay was a bonus. read more

My husband and I have been here about 3 or 4 times now. Somehow each time is better than the last. Service is on point, the food is always really good, and even though they get pretty busy, we've never had to wait for more than a few minutes for a table. Can't wait to try something new next time! read more

Maybe the best Stealhead I've ever had. Its that good. Tge rice/ Quinoa and vegetables were a creative pairing.

My husband and I came with our 20 yo daughter. There was no room in the dining room (lots of tables open but probably not enough staff?) so we went to the bar area and sat at a high top. This was not at the "bar" but near it. Since she wasn't 21 she was kicked out. We stayed and had a beverage but it just was too bad the way it went down. There was even a half wall between us and the actual bar so part of me doesn't understand why she couldn't sit with us and just have an appetizer and some water. Rules are rules but it was frustrating. We did get some chowder and dessert to go for this daughter and our other two that didn't feel like coming and the food was good. read more
