Totally enjoyed the hand-crafted Gourmet Burger, the friendly service and the open atmosphere on a late Tuesday afternoon. Fries were crispy and the ranch dressing yummy. Loved the bacon, cheese and cranberry-blueberry mustard on the burger! Can't wait to return with more friends!
Had the New York Steak...it was to die for!!! Melted in my mouth. Excellent customer service.
Excellent food, drinks and staff. The view was relaxing and so was the music.
The service was terrible and the food wasn't cooked to order.
Fantastic food and atmosphere. If you re concerned about CV-19, their protocols are spot on without being invasive or pretentious.
The fish and chips was perfect. The batter was light and not greasy at all. Get the fish and chips. The view can't be beat.
Food: 5+ Service: 5+ Atmosphere: 5+ Thank you for going the extra mile to make our anniversary a wonderful experience
A bit on the pricey side, especially for Astoria, but everything was perfectly executed from the service, to the cuisine and wine, so it was worth it. Great focus on local ingredients, and a beautiful interior (don't be put off by the building exterior).
Food absolutely delicious and would come back to this place when I'm there!
Very relaxed atmosphere, good place for hanging out with your loved ones.
Zero sense of urgency or awareness. This is the kind of thing you can coach up, so someone at the top doesn t know how to instruct their people to greet people within less than 10 seconds, much less 10 minutes. I could ve probably served myself and the other people waiting at the bar in the time it took them to get to us. The food was great, but I almost didn t wait around long enough to learn that.
Lots of options for Gluten Free. The food was very good! Service friendly and well done. Nice view if the water.
Oysters with caviar and champagne grenache. So many decadent to healthy choices that are filling. Make it happen!
Had good fish and chips for lunch. Nice spot with a great view. Service was fine. I d go back when visiting Astoria although there are better places in town if food is your priority.
Great views, great menu options. Gluten free as well. Pricey. Cassoulet with duck confit us spectacular. Brunch is great too
Perfect view, perfect vines, good cuisine and staff .
Ambiance is spectacular. Staff is top notch. Quality ingredients make the dishes wonderful.
We always eat here at least once when in the area. Very good menu. Decent pricing. Great views. They had live music this time. A very nice place to eat.
We stopped at the Bridgewater on our way down to Cannon Beach and very much enjoyed our experience there. The food was quite good, nuanced and well presented. The Anchovy Boquorones Caprese was well constructed. Desserts were a high point. The server was helpful and prompt. The winelist is quite impressive, specializing in Oregon wines, but with many selections from WA and other places. Recommended for either a nice dinner out, or for a later dessert/drink stop.
One of the best meals I have had in a long time. Started with an aperol on the rocks with a twist. It is a good sign when a restaurant offers multiple amari - cynar, campari, fernet-branco, and aperol in this case.
We had pan-fried oysters and deep-fried calamari for an appetizer. Both were tender and delicious.
The main course was crispy-skin salmon with asparagus and baby potatoes. The salmon was perfectly cooked and very tasty.
They have an extensive wine selection. I just had their house white, pinot gris, which was light and crisp.
We finished with a cheesecake with raspberry and roasted rhubarb compote. Sweeter than I like, but still good.
The room, location, and view are excellent. The service was exceptional.
This post was only for the one interaction I had with the hostess. She was very unfriendly, not accommodating. When we asked what time we would be sat she just gave us a laundry list of reasons why she couldn't seat us. But wasn't able to give us a time. I'm sure the food and service is wonderful here
This is a lovely and elegant Bistro. We had the ceasar salad and the halibut special of the day. Well worth the money that we paid. Yes its pricey but well worth it.
Love this eatery! Delicious fresh food! Beautiful view of the Columbia river.
Nice place right on the water. Not tons of kid friendly fun, but we will be back another time for an adult thing.
This was my first time here and I was really impressed with how hard they are obviously trying. The building is beautiful, the staff is great, the river/bridge view is insane and the presentation of the food was amazing. We opted to go with 5 small plates in lieu of traditional entrees and the choices were great. The only thing that kept this from being a perfect night was the food itself I thought lacked a memorable flavor. All 5 of our plates seemed very cautious even though they were presented so beautifully. I kept waiting to take a bite and having that WOW moment but it just never happened. But overall this is a really great dining experience and I am glad we came.
So good! Meat eater or vegetarian there's something for everyone. Hungarian mushroom soup was delicious and I've never had a kale salad so good. Pretty good smoked salmon too. Live piano music and great service made for a great afternoon. Right on the waterfront too.
Overpriced food. View was nice but I expected more. Service was mediocre.
Love this place.. And they are deliciously gluten free.
First, great server. She made the meal. The savory crab cheese cake was phenomenal. Great flavors, fresh crab. The crab mac n cheese was tasty but no cheese sauce. It was more mac and crab with bread crumbs. Beef shoulder was perfectly cooked, slight crust and light sauce. Quail was moist and flavorful. Salmon perfectly seared. Would go back.
I ate here almost a year ago and I'm still dreaming about the food! Try the crab cheesecake and the GF Fish and chips. You won't be disappointed.
Excellent food, friendly server. We also got lucky with perfect weather and a table on the back corner of the deck with a beautiful sunset.
Good food great service sweet people I always forget to take a picture of the food I'm too busy eating
Had a wonderful time here with my family, great food, service, and a amazing view!
Absolutely beautiful interior. Service was great, food was delicious if a bit pricey. Will definitely be going back. We had a table with a view of the Columbia River which we enjoyed very much.
I really like this place! The atmosphere is beautiful, the food is great, and my Bloody Mary was amazing!! I have been here a few times now and it has been great each time.
Great view of Astoria Bridge. Modern airy decor. Can be hard to find. Look for red building in front of Cannery Pier Hotel.
Fantastic food and location. Also a great wine selection!
Some excellent dining. My boyfriend and I dropped in for a late lunch at 3pm and it wasn't busy at all. Requested a window seat, cute coat hangers near each table. Wish it was nicer weather to enjoy drinks on their patio. Their house bread and butter was soft, warm and delicious. My boyfriend had a light, lemon chicken and vegetable soup with a hint of cream and a side cesar. I had the alderwood in house smoked wild salmon with a cucumber salad and herbes jus. Everything was as we expected and well worth the reasonable price. The cherry cola sorbet with the molasses cookie was a delightful finish. Thanks to all who prepared this meal for us and served.
Awesome view and good food/service. Love the Sunday brunch! Plan ahead and make reservations for timely seating.
Excellent menu options of super fresh, local fare. Lovely unique cocktails and attentive but not obtrusive service. Best of all, AMAZING desserts! Liked it so much, we ate there twice in one day.
I have celiac and was pleasantly surprised to find that they use a gluten free batter for all their fired items so I was able to enjoy fish and chips with no worry. Everything on the menu that is or could be gluten free is makes (each with a different code so you know what comes gf naturally or could be made gf).
Talk about a nice place...wow. service, waitress kindness, the food, the atmosphere, oh the piano musician was nice. Thanks I will highly recommend your restaurant. Chaz
This has always been one of our favorite places to stop and eat on our way to Seaside. It has never disappointed!
Beautiful views. The wedding reception food was delicious!
Great stop over for lunch before crossing over the Bridge to Washington. A wonderful dining experience.
Beautiful venue with quirky-in-the-right-way staff and food that defies true description. We shared the New York steak with a salad and chili lime shrimp for an appetizer. Delightful and elegant. My favorite part was the cranberry swedish? cream - I am still dreaming about having another...
Delicious food, good veiw, good service! Will definitely come back.
We stopped by for happy hour and stayed for dinner. Hard to know whether the food, ambience or service was the best. Beautiful space with 2-story windows under the bridge. Fabulous food (pan fried oysters, cioppino, mushroom cassoulet this trip). Gluten for the Huz and gluten free for me. And incredibly expert and genuinely friendly service from Gillian (picture attached), who provided lots of excellent historical and fun info about Astoria. We will be back.
Nice view. Quick service. And live music on Saturday!
Great find! Saw this place online while passing through and wanting to grab food but we got an added experience here we will remember! Great food, live music, great service, a cozy fireplace with a view through the floor to the beach below. Awesome!
Came here because of all the good reviews. Everything was so disappointing. Food was all around horrible (the bread was good though). Service was ok. Definitely wouldn t recommend.
The food is fresh and inspired, fun cocktails with local ingredients, river view, just a short walk from the cannery pier hotel.
This is one of those places you should not miss when you visit Astoria.
Amazing food quality and flavor.
For drinks, I got an Old Fashion (made the old fashion way... with muddled orange, a splash of soda, bitter drops, and bourbon) and my wife got the "Ann's French 75"... it was very good.
None of these would have been truly enjoyed, without the quality of the service!!
From the hostess to the manager, everyone was involved in making the experience the best one possible. Kudos to Sean, our waiter, he really made the night.
Just one last word, make sure to make a reservation... they can be really busy.
You pay for what you get, and here you get par excellence in food and choices. Amazing views and superior food make this a must try for visitors and locals alike. Be sure to have their famous mussel soup.
Great gluten free options. Best gf fish and chips I ve ever had. Great Views and live music. Definitely a must if your passing through or visiting Astoria.
Amazing food and service. Spendy but totally worth it. I plan to come back next visit !
Service excellent. Food so so. Steak was tough (rib). Good size. Broccoli & taters totally undercooked. Some kinda of excellent sauce on plate, enough for 2 bites. No seasonings. Very bland. They definitely need new steak knives. I should've used my butter knife to cut food. $103.?? for 2 steak dins, 6 oyster shooters & 2 beers. Kinda out of their league
Great place to eat with view from every table or booth.
Good food, great service and a lovely setting right on the Columbia River. Adjacent parking big enough for any size RV. I stopped in for lunch and had the brisket sandwich. Beef was tender, served on toasted rye bread.
Wonderful menu, beautiful view and wonderful attentive staff
Excellent ambiance....they had really good live dinner music and service was excellent. Food I thought was good but not great tonight....a little disappointed. But overall a nice evening.
Very good meals... Great Gluten Free options... Very foodie for the price. We will be back...
Great food, drinks, service and view. Has to be the best in town.
