Oregon Coast Restaurants:
High Dock Bistro - Bandon

Pamela Hansen says about her best restaurant pick, the High Dock Bistro:

"To have a truly delicious unique dinner in Bandon, Oregon you must try the High Dock Bistro. This cozy intimate restaurant epitomizes the rustic Pacific Northwest Coast.

It has beautiful views of the mouth of the Coquille river, the lighthouse, and is located on the harbor. It is locally owned by Chef Kris Nelson and Kathy Carnahan, restaurateurs extraordinaire. Kathy is one of the best waitresses anywhere on the planet. Normally with 3 specials a night in addition to the regular menu, the chef and co-owner will serve you the tastes that bring people from all over the US to the small town of Bandon to dine.

The food is prepared and presented to perfection. You will find specials such as fresh Ling Cod Lazio, Chicken Gorgonzola Pasta, Pork Chops with Pear Sauce. My personal menu favorite is Scampi's Montezuma with scrumptious Large Prawns, garlic, capers, green chile served on a bed of linguine, topped with melted romano cheese. It is the best shrimp dish known to mankind. They have a unique fine wine list featuring Oregon and organic wines. The warm Bourbon Bread Pudding dessert is worth saving some extra room for! Prices range from $13 - $30. Whenever anyone asks us what is the best restaurant in Bandon, without a moment's hesitation, we always recommend the High Dock Bistro."

Sounds like Pamela considers this one of the best restaurants in Bandon!

Oregon Coast Restaurants:
Lil' Sambo's - Lincoln City

I've listed Lil Sambos here, not because of the food quality (I'd much rather eat at the Pig'N Pancake down the street), but simply because it's been a Lincoln City icon for many a year with a rich story and history behind it. It does have a large menu and the food is pretty good. Regardless, this has been one of my favorite places to stop at ever since I was a tiny Oregon Coast Guy. ;)

Oregon Coast Restaurants: Mo's Restaurant - Small

Mo's Restaurants - Various locations

The world-famous clam chowder and halibut fish and chips from this legendary establishment will keep you returning. The prices are extremely reasonable.

Whether you're there for breakfast, lunch or dinner, you will certainly find some of the freshest seafood, soups and salads and more. You will love this place.

Camp 18 Restaurant - Oregon Coast dining

I know that it's not a long list of the best restaurants, by any stretch, and is by no means meant to be exhaustive. Since the web site went up, I have planned to hit many other places so that I can share them with you. This is just my favorites and the ones I frequent when going to the coast. I'm pretty much a creature of habit, so I don't tend to vacillate much when it comes to the places I eat. I can however guarantee you some great seafood at these restaurants. Please tell them that romantic-oregon-coast.com recommended them to you. Thanks! ;)
