Incredible meal, good service, perfect ambiance on the cliff. Best food that I have ever had in my entire life -- and to share this with my fiancée made it even more special. read more

My girlfriend and I popped in for a late lunch, sat at the bar counter, chatted with our neighboring patrons. I had the two piece fish and chips, she had the Caesar salad and bowl of chowder. The fish and chips were fab 5/5 the slaw that was with it wasn't a slaw in the typical sense but fantastic. My gf said the Caesar was just okay so the server removed the uneaten salad (stellar service there), she loved her chowder. read more

Amazing view....Great food.... Very knowledgeable on diet restrictions. (Gluten Free). One of the best restaurants on the Oregon coast is in Depoe Bay. They know how to properly prepare seafood. They are very conscientious on gluten free diet restrictions. Every time I visit this restaurant they never disappoint. DELICIOUS!!!! And if you are gluten free you need to try their chocolate cake. It melts in your mouth. read more

Wow. The food was so good, I haven't had food like that in so long and it was such a treat. We started with the Diablo tenderloin, melt in your mouth meat, the sauce was so flavorful, I was expecting a little more heat, but I think it was a great even balance of little heat and sweet! Rory was our server and he was just phenomenal. I haven't had service like that in a really long time, our water glasses were never empty and he had the perfect amount of being present with us and not being overbearing. A lot of the reason we came back was because of the food also because of Rory's service. Top tier all the way around. Lunch the next day with the view just gave it that extra icing on the cake: we truly can't wait to come back. Hats off and thanks so much! read more

This place is amazing! I'm always having a tough time with food when traveling due to Gluten intolerance. I was shocked on how many choices we had. I had the fish and chips which were the very best I've ever eaten. My wife had the fish Tacos. Incredible food, incredible views, and service was top notch. read more

Tidal Raves is just about the only "nice" or "date night" restaurant in Depoe Bay, so we decided to visit while we were in town. We had a window seat and the view was amazing, of course. It's right on the Ocean and so picturesque. The inside of the restaurant is on the smaller side, but it's open and bright which I love. The service was okay. We joined the waitlist online (awesome feature since they don't take reservations) and checked in when we got there. We got sat fairly quickly - probably sooner than they had estimated and they were able to honor our window seat request. Our waiter was with us pretty quickly and our drinks came out really fast. We order appetizers while we figured out what we wanted for our entrees. Right before our appetizers came we ordered our main dishes. Before we could even eat a quarter of our appetizers our entrees came. It was a little disappointing that they couldn't space the meals better and time the dishes. We either could finish our appetizers and let our entrees get cold, or we could not finish our appetizers and move to our entrees. I prefer that my entree come out after we are done with the appetizers, that way we have time to enjoy them, have time to digest a little, and don't have to worry about any of it getting cold. Towards the end the server was hard to catch. Once we gave him our entree orders, we didn't see him again until we were just about done with our meal. Actually, we both took a pause eating because we both wanted another drink with the rest of our meal and he wasn't coming back. It was frustrating. Lastly, the food. We started with claim chowder and Seahawk bread. We didn't love either, really. The clam chowder was pretty bland and we had to add salt and pepper to try and make it a little better. Also, for it being Clam Chowder it was really lacking in the clams area. The Seahawk bread was also pretty bland and we didn't love it. It was better than the soup though. For our entrees we got the Rock Fish on a pesto potato cake with a garlic shrimp and caper sauce and Brussel sprouts and the Pasta Rave with Alfredo sauce. The Rockfish was fresh, but lacked flavor. The sauce that was on it didn't add much, which was surprising being that it has capers. It came with a lemon wedge which helped the situation a bit. Also, the pesto potato cake was not crispy at all. It was more like pesto mashed potatoes. The texture was off. Same with the rockfish, it was not as crispy as I would have liked. My husband also didn't love his Pasta Rave. Like our other dishes, it was bland as well. The Alfredo didn't help and didn't add anything. He did say the muscles in it tasted good, but other than that he didn't eat it. Lastly, the drinks. I got a Paloma which was fine, not great, but better than the next drink I got. The next one was the "seasonal gimlet" which happened to be blueberry hibiscus and it was AWFUL. I never send things back and I had to let them know I couldn't finish it. It tasted just like Robitussin cough syrup. All-in-all, when we are in Depoe bay again we won't go back. The view is amazing, but the food was severely lacking and the service wasn't great. It was nice to have a night with my love, but the restaurant wasn't worth what we paid. read more

The view alone is worth a visit! We waited twice as long as we were quoted but sat outside and enjoyed the view so no one really minded. Our party of 5 all ordered different entrees, from the rockfish to a burger. All of us were more than satisfied and agreed that it was the best dinner any of us had in a while. Highly recommend! read more

This small little place is a special one. Celebrating our first anniversary while vacationing, we chose Tidal Raves. So happy we did. It's quiet, with an interesting menu , specials and great views. We had front row seat to sunset over Depoe Bay. Almost every seat is a great view honestly . Our meals could not have been better. Grilled halibut and grilled rockfish. Service was excellent. Take advantage of waitlist or you may have a long but worthwhile wait. read more

Stopped to get picture of breathtaking view when a unbelievable smell enticed us to come eat. We followed the smell to tidal waves. Husband and I both had the fish and chips that were fantastic.

We've driven by Tidal Raves many times and always wanted to try it. So glad we did! I got the salmon on risotto with brussels sprouts and my dad got the diablo seafood rave pasta. Both were outstanding. The salmon was cooked perfectly and I liked the beurre blanc- although I could've used more of it. The seafood pasta was also excellent with a good amount of seafood. My dad said the shrimp in it was the best he's ever had. I want to try the creamy pesto sauce, but the diablo sauce was good too. The place is beautiful. We were very casual and didn't feel out of place but this is a great choice for a celebration meal or a romantic meal too. The views are incredible and the staff were attentive and professional. Overall an excellent experience and can't wait to come back! read more

Delicious Cioppino! And the view is amazing!! Service was friendly, if you want good food with a view this is a great spot.

Top notch service and food. Our group of 11 descended on them without warning around noon and they greeted us with a smile and hustled to get a table together. The cheery welcome continued as we ordered a variety of apps and entrees. The consensus was the food was incredible. Wish I lived closer so I could eat there every week. Well done! read more

Tidal Raves - Gnocchi with wild shrimp in creamy pesto sauce. Delicious! - New American Near Me - Depoe Bay, Oregon

Definitely a little on the spendy side, but when is good seafood not. Ambiance is unbeatable. We sat at the bar which faces the ocean, an amazing view. Food was on the most part very good. We started with the calamari rings, which were the perfect mix of chewy and crunchy. I had their Pasta Rave, which I cannot recommend enough. The Seafood to Linguine ratio is insane, so much fish and clams topped with shrimp and crab. Definitely hit the spot. I had the Marinara Sauce, but I can't see how you could go wrong with any of the others. My wife on the other hand had the fish and chips, and although it tasted great, we were somewhat disappointed with the actual size of the fish. With all that said, my only draw back is the staff, which is the only reason it's not getting 5 stars. They do not take reservations, although you can "save a spot" online. However My wife and I were driving from 1.5 hrs away so we didn't want to take up a spot. Upon calling, at around 3:30 PM (not exactly what I would deem to be rush hour), the lady I spoke to was incredibly short and told me to refer to the website if I had any other questions. And while we were dining, our waitress never checked in except to ask for dessert or the bill. read more

Great service. Beautiful location right overlooking the ocean. I had the cioppino and the flavorful tomato broth was full of crab, shrimp, rockfish and clams. It's worth the wait. read more

Tidal Raves is a great choice if you are looking for quality food. They don't take reservations, but we were fortunate to dine during an off peak season. Their location is right on the water so every table has a beautiful view of the ocean. They have a nice wine selection and several special cocktails. Our waitstaff was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. In the future, I would skip the Seastack bread. It is void of flavor, which is a real shame. We couldn't taste the shaved smoked salmon at all and the entire dish lacked basic seasoning like salt and an acid. The scallops were tasty but under seared and the risotto had a creamy texture but lacked salt. Thankfully, the brussel sprouts underneath saved the dish with a sweet and acidic punch of flavor from the balaamic vinegar. The salmon entree could be described the same way. More flavor needed overall. Given these things, however, it's still one of the best places we ate on the coast; it's just not up to that last star. read more

The steamers were very good, 5 stars! The salmon chowder was good, 4 stars. The fried oysters were good, the fries were cold. 3 stars. The baguette with butter was very good, 5 stars. The dinning room was filled up when we got there at 7PM on a Monday. The service was below average, rushed, not friendly. 1 stars for service. We made a reservation. The views of the Bay were gorgeous. read more

I've wanted to come here for so many years, and I'm so glad I finally did! Lots of gluten free options, even very specific foods you could almost never find. My husband and I split the crab cakes (GF), he had the ribeye and I had the filet mignon/tenderloin. While both were good, I think his was better. Then we had dessert; me, a creme brulee and a glass of tawny port, and him, a slice of key lime pie (not GF). To drink I had a glass of the house red (decent but kinda boring), and he had an old fashioned. He said it was good. Our server, Isabella, was incredibly sweet and attentive but not over the top. All of the staff were lovely, really. The ambiance is just the perfect blend of nice and/or casual. Probably don't wear a sweatshirt but certainly no need for slacks or your Sunday Best. And, while we didn't get a window seat, we could easily see the water and even watch the sunset. It was the perfect date night for our first wedding anniversary. And the classic Depoe Bay viewpoint is about 2 blocks away! The only thing that could be better is parking, but that's really to be expected for a small beach town. read more

All the food was delicious. The clamp chowder was some of the best we have had along PNW coast. All the portions were of healthy size. Our service was excellent!

We've eaten here on three trips to Depoe Bay: January 2026, March 2026, and May 2026. Even though there are other restaurants in town, and I normally am eager to try a new place every night, we keep coming back to Tidal Raves, even four nights in a row. The food quality and preparation and presentation are superb; the staff is personable and professional. And my god that view! If you go, make sure you make a reservation first. We were there last night (Friday night of Mothers Day weekend), and while waiting to be seated, witnessed several parties walking in only to be told they'd have a two-hour wait. Had the salmon and husband had the black cod: both exquisite. Desserts are OK, but the entrees really shine. We'll be back again and again. read more

This is the second time we have been to Tidal Raves. Both dining in experiences have been fabulous! The food is gourmet style cooking. Everything was fresh and hot. Their pasta dishes are probably the most authentic Italian we've had in awhile. The entire experience from being greeted to the food service was exceptional.

I had the title rave seafood pasta with Diablo Alfredo sauce today for lunch. The dish had clams, scallops, muscles, white fish, and shrimp throughout the linguine in a very impressive fashion. The Diablo Alfredo sauce is meant to be a little spicy, and I have to tell you it was the best pasta dish I've had in my life. The tangy spice from the dribbles of lemon I put on the pasta coupled with the Diablo sauce, had my taste buds dancing. I have never received a poor meal from Tidal Rave in Depoe Bay. I have been so impressed with their food and their service, it is a 10 out of 10 visit every single time. I highly recommend you go in and try this pasta dish if you truly love seafood and a little bit of cheese on top of a very tangy and spicy creamy sauce. The chefs there are brilliant. As far as the ambience, it doesn't get any better than sitting in a corner window table right over the ocean while the whales in Depoe Bay swim by! What a phenomenal dining experience every single time. Mickey read more

Another fantastic meal at one of our favorite spots when we come to visit the coast. While camping at Beverly beach we decided our last night to order food to go from Tidal Raves. It never disappoints! The view is incredible if you dine in, but make sure you go before sunset to enjoy the spectacular oceanfront picturesque view. Don't skip the dessert either. You are already there you might as well see yourself thru all the way to the end of this dining experience. read more

Excellent food, wine selection and staff. Great views from the table and even saw a couple of whales. Highly recommend .

My husband and I went to Tidal Raves last Saturday. Two of my 8 coconut shrimp were not deveined. I told the server about it; she apologized and offered me more. I declined, as I didn't want more un-deveined shrimp. Also, when making the reservation, I was asked if it was a special celebration. I said my birthday, but I never heard anything more about it. Disappointing. read more
