Arice did a great job! Scallops and Ling Cod fish and chips were delicious!!! King tides added to the lunch today!!!

Unbelievable views at Tidal Raves! It's been a while since my visit but better late than never to catch up on Yelps! We stopped in for lunch one day and the cocktails were soooooo good, plus the burger and pork belly were awesome! Have to get back do read more

We arrived just as the restaurant opened and were seated in the best seats in the house at a corner table overlooking the bay. The service was quick and friendly. The cod fish and chips were some of the best I've ever tasted. All in all, a great experience on a day off! read more

The hostess was probably one of the most friendly in Depot Bay! Our waitress took a close second! Our view was to die for (as well as every seat in the house)- a large bay window looking out on the ocean & Inn at Arch Rock! We ordered the full Seahawk Bread to share and sides of coleslaw. The Seahawk Bread was amazing! It was served warm, on a perfectly toasted baguette, with lots of melty cheese, & generous amounts smoked salmon & shrimp! Delicious! The slaw also amazing! It features very fresh herbs, thick-cut cabbage, & yummy dressing! This is a restaurant is a must! read more

The wife and I stopped in for lunch after watching the King Tides in Depoe Bay today. We got seated quickly without a reservation. We were promptly visited by the bartender at the counter facing the ocean, she brought us our sodas quickly and took our order. We did not see her again until we had both completely finished our meals, both of our sodas, and waters. We were never checked up on, or asked if the meal was ok, zero refills, on $5 sodas is quite frustrating. She had walked past us several times without checking up on us. I don't feel like I should have to ask for something as simple as a refill so was not happy with being passed up over and over. The King Salmon was a small portion for the price compared to the size of the Herb Crusted Rockfish at a cheaper price. Both meals were decent, cooked well, nice temperature on everything. Easily some of the most perfect cooked asparagus I've had in a very long time, props to the person working the sides! The portion size on the Salmon was not what I was expecting after having seen pictures on the Tidal Raves Facebook page and Yelp. $37 for a probably less than 4oz piece of salmon needs some adjusting on price or portion size. Finally after our plates had been taken away the bartender came by asking if we wanted desert, we asked for refills on our drinks and ordered a Bread Pudding. She brought out our sodas 3/4 filled and the bread pudding shortly thereafter. The flavor on it was great, portion was good, it was cold in the middle, and hot on the edges like it had been warmed up weird. Overall was a nice ambience, the mood and lighting was nice, and watching the ocean was fun. I liked their texting system for when orders were coming out, since we had made a reservation it had my wifes cell # in the system so we got a text when things were coming out. I'd give you guys a 4 if the service was anything more than non-existent, and the portions on one of our meals was more up to what I was expecting. We will probably be back next time we're in Depoe Bay, hoping things are better off for our next visit, I really had this place hyped up by a lot of folks and was actually mildly let down by our visit. read more

We had the clam chowder, calamari & fish & chips. The clam chowder was really good & the calamari was lightly breaded with a bit of a spicy kick to it. I was impressed with the fish & chips. The breading on the fish seemed over-fried & too crunchy to me so I didn't care for it. read more

Whale watching and coconut shrimp! The whale watching was a bust but the shrimp was amazing! And the rice was not just an afterthought. It says steamed rice on the menu but man was it good. 5 stars for the rice too! read more

The food here was amazing. Walked in around 4:30 without any reservation on a Saturday as was sat right away. Our server was very nice and answered any questions we had on the menu. Breathtaking view of the ocean from anywhere in the restaurant. Our food was phenomenal, everyone left happy and satisfied. I got the Herb Crusted Rockfish and it was so fresh tasting and filling. We will definitely be returning read more

Highly recommend sitting up high facing the windows. Amazing views while eating and even better if you have someone to sit close to. The Cioppino is incredible. So fresh. The Herb Crusted Lingcod is delicious as well. Both perfectly cooked and seasoned. read more

This is a must stop place for lunch or dinner, but make reservations, the restaurant fills up fast. When ever we go to Newport, we always make this one of our lunch / dinner restaurants the meals will not let you down. This time we tried their Steamer Clams, Halibut Fish and Chips and my favorite Scallops. What a meal, everything was cooked perfectly. read more

The Best waterfront restaurant in Depoe Bay ! Great atmosphere. Excellent service and great food ... fresh fish daily, good choice for wine and specialty cocktails. Great dessert menu as well. We love it and go as often as we can. The best fish tacos around ! read more

On a Tuesday night it was full, but we only had to wait about 5 minutes for a table. This place has an amazing view - one of the best on the coast. Our server was wonderful (sorry, we don't have her name). She took her time with the menu and was very attentive without hovering. And, she had a great sense of humor. As for the food - it was really very good. My wife just had appetizers- 2 crab cakes and clam chowder plus a baguette. She enjoyed it thoroughly. I had the pan-seared scallops - they melted in my mouth. For dessert we each had warm strawberry-rhubarb cobbler a-la-mode. I'm a snob when it comes to strawberry-rhubarb, and this was supper yummy. Dinner wasn't break-the-bank expensive, but you can see their menu and prices online. We will visit again next time we get to this part of the Oregon coast. read more

I don't know why it's so hard to find a good seafood restaurant on the Oregon coast that doesn't involve something being fried. Tidal Raves is hands down our favorite restaurant on the central Oregon coast. It offers sunset views no matter where you sit in the restaurant. Fresh and delicious tasting seafood that isn't masked with excess breading or fried foods. They are always busy but never deters from their great service. Highly recommend! read more

Stunning location with ocean front view and often you could see residents whales when the weather is just right! Unfortunately food quality is average and not worth Yelping about. I have been here three times this past year because I wanted opportunities to like them. My latest visit this past Monday was a major disappointment because the basil risotto was so mushy, salty with no flavors. The Soho Salmon Special $37 was dried so I barely finished it. The Halibut Special $40: we only enjoyed the brussel sprouts. The only dish we liked during this visit was the Calamari Fritti $16. It wasn't the best but it was decent compared to rest of our orders. Our lunch total was $100. We basically paid for the view. The food was forgettable. read more

Truly some of the most inspired food I have had at a reasonably priced higher end seafood restaurant ever & on the Oregon Coast. Seasoned to perfection, fresh, house made & full of seasonal flavor. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Elite. Top tier. All the buzzwords to indicate that this place is a winner. The service was really lovely, as well. My server was informative, personable & attentive. Not sure what the drinks are like as I stuck with water (which was clean tasting & cold), but the table across from me was raving about their 20 year old aged whiskey for like 10 minutes, so my guess is that their cocktails are killer, too. Also, the view from my table was paper wall-calendar worthy. This spot is incredible on every level. read more

The service, views, and bar were exceptionally amazing! The food was solid. I would absolutely eat here again.

Wanted to love it but was disappointed. First, we asked for a window seat (as does everyone) and they said they didn't have one so they sat us somewhere else. There were 2 of us and I later found out, when I went to the restroom, there was a whole open elevated bar area with plenty of open seats that no one mentioned as an option :(. Clam chowder was thick and mostly potatoes, no clams. Fish sandwich not very flavorful but great fries. read more

Sad.. 1.5 hours wait... good luck... people try the restaurant across the street..its 5 star!!

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

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

We had a great meal at Tidal Raves. Such a great view and the food was awesome. I had the Veggie burger and my wife had the Ling Cod. Service was ok but highlight was definitely the food. Appreciate the Hostess as we were running a few minutes late but able to get reservation a bit later. We will be back! Definitely a hidden gem. 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

I've been going to Tidal Raves for well over 15 years. Always excellent food and service. Pricy, but worth it. Last two trips have failed to meet that. Once we had a prime rib sandwich, which was clearly microwaved. Not worth the money at all. Yesterday, four of us went to lunch. My go to order of prawns was warmish, lacking in spices and generally average. The Mac and crab was bland and fishy. The fish and chips were heavily breaded. Just not up to snuff, TR style. I'll try once or twice more, but getting disappointed with them. Service and ambience are always good so far. 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

First time in and we had made reservations with a request of a seat on the window for our anniversary. Overall satisfaction with ambiance and view!

But overall good experience and would go back. read more

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

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 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

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

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

What a great find! Food is excellent and the view is absolutely stunning. On the list to visit again!

On a road trip from California to Seattle, we stopped here and had the best meal of our trip. The Calamari was perfectly cooked as were the crab cakes, although the Calamari was my favorite. We had the crab Loui salad with shrimp which was perfect for us to share. I also had the clam chowder. Setting at the bar looking at the water and watching the waves and all that was going on in the water was perfect. We will stop there on our next road trip. Thank you! read more

Service was terrific. Food is very solid - great halibut fish and chips and pork belly lettuce wraps were outstanding. Only issue ... a significant revamp of our favorite item - seahawk bread - totally different bread, not able to get a half order, and expensive at $21. Truly hope this item returns to the menu as it's been a crowd favorite for many years. read more

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.
