We stopped in for breakfast before visiting the adjoining smoked fish/jerky store. They had a couple of good specials to choose from at great prices. The food was simple but well prepared. The service was fast and friendly. The shop attached has delicious jerky in several flavors as well as smoked fish, shark, mussels, etc. as well as whole crabs and many canned items. Yum.

Wednesday, off season. Food - meh...; service - meh....; atmosphere - meh.... you get the idea. Clam chowder was excellent, ham, apple butter, and cheese with fries, blah. One servers was nice but a little talkative, the other was hard to even understand. The interior was ok, but typical of a chain fad restaurant. Too few tvâs for watching sports. Beers brewed on site were ok. The ciders were very nice. Overall plain, kinda boring, and I doubt weâll go back. On a high note, the ham, apple butter, and cheese was without the cheese, but they took it off the bill and were very nice about the whole thing.

Atmosphere is very nice - warm and inviting - great room. Now, I know you cannot realistically be on the dot as to wait time...was suggested would be 10-15 mins - wound up with 40 mins +. We finally sat at the bar. Another couple walked in - she said it would be poss 10 mins tho, we had waited 20 - NOT SO...I happened to check my watch when we arrived - we waited 40+ minutes. Rightfully so, they honored those with reservations first. Absolutely and very glad they did. We get that - I mean, a simple check in woulda been nice. Our server was very nice, tho, their soup of the day was Jalapeno Cheese - Artichoke was another. I asked her opinion - she said def go with the Jalapeno - woulda been great had she also mentioned it dang near burned your mouth it was soooo spicy! Four bites and I was done. Portion size - way over the top - could go half the size and have very happy folks! In actuality, you purchased lunch...and dinner in a to-go box. No doubt the Side Door Cafe is a hit - and rightly so...not for us and not again.

We found this restaurant for lunch after googling best seafood restaurants. So glad we stopped in! The freshly caught king salmon was expertly cooked. I am still dreaming about it! I had halibut which was also expertly cooked and tasty. But the star was the Chinook.

We recently stopped for breakfast here with another couple while vacationing on the Oregon coast. It was an excellent meal for a reasonable price. All of us had similar dishes opting for simple. My partner requested crispy bacon and she got crispy and it tasted wonderful. We all ordered our eggs over medium and they were cooked to perfection. Their homemade bread is thick and soft. So yummy! Will return on our next vacation.

Little walk up counter on highway 101 with various seafood for sale. We were hoping to purchase fresh crab for dinner, but all they had were frozen solid crabs. No frozen crab for us, especially at the ocean. We bought their smoked salmon and it was very good. The various fish fillets for sale looked fresh and delicious. This is just a stand with a couple of picnic benches available for eating.

We went here for dinner. They have gorgeous views of the beach and ocean, so you can whale watch while you dine. Our server, Kay, was wonderful. She answered all of our questions and her service was perfect. I had the breaded stuffed halibut special (note to chef....put it on your regular menu) and my husband had steak. Both meals were perfectly cooked.

Pass this place a few times and thought I'd give it a try. Interesting little cafe it has good food but I'm really getting sick and tired of going places that allow dogs. Dogs should never be allowed in a food establishment unless it is a certified service animal. My wife is very allergic to dogs and to think that dogs should have more rights than a human is ridiculous. For that reason alone it drops to a 1-star could have been four. We won't be going back.

Considering all the good press, I was disappointed. Did not live up to expectations. First issue was the one bottle corkage limit, regardless of table size. I can understand that for 2 or 4 people, but once you go over that, one bottle isn't enough. Let's give you a comparison. Their bread serving sizes are designed for 2-4 people. We needed more than one bread serving. Same with the wine, folks! A one bottle corkage limit is ridiculous for larger parties. Not a good way to start dinner, starting off with a bad impression. $35 corkage too, just for washing some glasses. They did have good service, very elegant and refined. Good views of the coast, but have to say it's not the best coastline to be looking at. Not their fault of course. Food is obviously the result of a lot of effort, planning, thought and creativity -- however it doesn't click, doesn't all come together, overall result is not worthy of all that effort. Which is sad. You want everything to be better than it is. Also the time between courses was a bit long. Lots of waiting.Pork belly w/ grits - grits were terrific, pork belly had no flavorCrab cakes - too many other flavors, crab was lost in it, overpoweredCorn soup - was pretty goodBeet salad - just ok, not greatMesclun salad - good, not great -- just teasers of blue cheese and dressingSalmon - overcooked, mehScallops - best liked entreeVegetarian gnocchi - gnocchi very good, veggies just so-soDuck -- smoked, too smokey for most of us, lentils were uninspiredWe skipped dessert, we were just ready to leave. Tired of waiting around, nothing sounded that great.Hi, t911!Thank you for visiting The Bay House, and thank you for the whining. Itâs apparent that your complaints are really with our policy to allow only one corkage per party. Thatâs the rule Iâve had for 14 years, along with the largest wine list in the state. I explained that to you when you showed up with more than one bottle (you could have easily called ahead to ask about bringing your own wine), and you agreed, reluctantly though it may have been. Later in the evening, you tried to convince your server to break that rule, but to no avail. Very impressive. Did you ever think about actually picking something off our wine list? You complain about needing more wine for four people, but refuse to select anything from our wine program? Itâs full of great wines at great prices, and itâs really the only way we have to generate the profit we need to pay our bills and our staff. I do allow my guests to bring in one special bottle, provided itâs not something on our list, because I know we donât have everything, and I want my guests to enjoy a special bottle with a special meal. Itâs absolutely not about allowing you a way to save money by cutting our business out of revenue. I am under no obligation to let you bring wine into my restaurant, I was just being nice. Thanks for not appreciating that fact. Your disdain for our policy was evident, but I guess I should be relieved that you didnât try bringing your own food, too. Sorry, I missed the point of your bread analogy, but we provided that on a complimentary basis, and replenished it as necessary. I am, however, impressed by the lengths you went to in order to criticize the food served to your table in such detail, but I think we can all agree that your motives are suspect at best, and petty and vindictive at worst. Nobody needs that. Your dismissive comments are matched only by your pompous attitude about how a restaurant actually works. I invite your readers to check all the other reviewers comments that are untainted by whining about our corkage policy. Your complaint about the timing of your service is likewise faulty. Your party was in no hurry, and in fact, you spent quite a bit of time at the table following your meal, chatting and (I thought) enjoying your company and conversation. I apologize that none of us realized that you were having such a poor time. Ultimately, you were the very last party to leave that evening, we never tried to rush you, but in the end, you certainly werenât the one âtired of waiting aroundâ. Thanks again for joining us, but please choose another restaurant next time. Weâre too small and too dedicated to what we do to have to put up with this kind of immature malarkey. Cheers!Steve WilsonProprietor
