An absolute gem in Coos Bay 🥂
Restaurant O completely exceeded every expectation and our go to spot while in the area. The dining experience is surprisingly elevated — elegant yet warm and welcoming, with local art displayed and live music on Thursday! (Harpist… need I say more🪉) I will say more about the food!! The dishes are amazing. Every plate we have tried was thoughtfully prepared with incredible creative flavors and beautiful presentation. I must mention the filet, one of the most expertly prepared steaks I’ve ever had! Perfect gradient, seasoned to perfection, and absolutely melt-in-your-mouth quality. The staff are wonderful: attentive, genuinely friendly. They make our evening feel relaxed and special from start to finish. If you’re in the Coos Bay area and want a memorable meal that feels far more upscale than you’d expect in a coastal town, do yourself a favor and book at Restaurant O. Highly, highly recommend! 🍷🥩

Truly is metropolitan gourmet dining at reasonable prices
Restaurant is billed as metropolitan gourmet dining not at big city prices. Having been to fine dining restaurants in big cities, and paid those prices, my wife and I were curious to try Restaurant O. We had the 6 course tasting menu, and it was excellent. Presentation was as good as top restaurants in Seattle, San Francisco, and New York, the selection of foods was interesting, and everything tasted great! I had the pair wines, which were well paired. At $115 (+$50 for wines), this was comparable to >$200 (+$100 for wines) tasting menus we have had in major cities. We were there on a Wednesday, so had live music by Candace and Doug of Uncorked. Their song selection was eclectic and enjoyable - not many will cover Tom Waits and Michael Jackson, and do both well. :-) Our server was competent and friendly. Overall, a great experience. Restaurant O is now on our must visit list when on the Oregon coast.

Excellent food, TA ratings did cause some concern, but were very impressed
Had some trepidations about the restaurant, as two different recent reviews rated this 0 * and another 4..5 stars. Finally decided to try it out and was very impressed. Chose to go with the 5 course tasting menu with paired wines. We would give the full shot. Dinner was excellent, food creatively prepared and served. Portions were reasonable and not overly large or small. Pairings were good, and appropirate size, did not want to get intoxicated. Service was attentive and professional. Sat upstairs, with view of the river. Mainly couples and small groups. The window seating was prone to some bright noise reflection but was not preventing converstaiton. The tasting menu present a wide range of foods and preparations. would strongly recommend

Perfect experience!
I highly recommend Restaurant O. The food was excellent! To start, we had the Chef's cheeseboard and a nice surprise in the amuse bouche. My husband ordered the filet which was perfectly cooked and at our server Shayla's recommendation I had the Carbonara flambe table side. That was a fun experience. We had the tiramisu trio for dessert and for drinks, we ordered the Old Irish Fashion and the slightly sweetened green iced tea, both were great. We sat upstairs with a table overlooking the water. The place has a great atmosphere, and our server Shayla was awesome! We will definitely go back.

The Fine Dining Experience That Wasn't.
We decided to have dinner at Restaurant O while in town for business. For us, it was conveniently located, being walking distance from our hotel and our business schedule. We were able to be seated right away and I thought it was going to be a great experience. I was wrong. The first thing I noticed in the dining room was that the music was way too loud. Luckily, our server agreed to turn it down. Sadly, the experience continued down hill from there. I have to say, it was the worst excuse for food I have ever had in my life. The Caesar was limp and flavorless, the tomato and basil bruschetta was a single, thin strip of crustini, with 3 halved cherry tomatoes, 2 or 3 thin slivers of basil and a drizzle of balsamic and oil. We looked at one another in total disbelief. I took one bite of my entree of scallops and beet risotto, and sent it back to the kitchen. It was absolutely inedible. I think it was the worst thing I have ever tasted in my life. My husband cut into his beef Wellington, took one bite and sent it back to the kitchen. They got the drink order right, though my husband spat out the olive in his martini, saying it was the worst olive he had ever had. Having been in the business myself, I understand the narrow profit margin restaurants run. That said, one can still run a profitable fine dining establishment without holding up the clientele. The staff was pleasant, but the food was horrible and terribly overpriced.
