Incredible meals - we went back twice in one week!
We had two wonderful dinners here 3 nights apart during our stay in Pacific City. Everything was perfect - the welcoming staff, the ambiance and the incredible meals! Three of us had the salmon, the miso halibut, the poke bowl, the chowder, the scallops and the shrimp tacos over our two visits. They were all incredible. I'll be sure to return to Pacific City just to eat here again!!!

Excellent, be sure to make a reservation.
Small venue, and busy for good reason on a Sunday night. Excellent food. Scallops were cooked perfectly (although this is not a large plate, which is typical of scallop entres). Crab caesar salad and crab Mac and cheese were delicious and had generous portions of Dungeness crab. For dessert, the bread pudding was absolutely the best I’ve ever had.

Disappointed in order
We were very excited to do take-out as we heard positive feedback on the restaurant. I was disappointed in serving size ...a cup ordered... of oyster stew which turned out to be LESS than a half cup serving. The bowl of oyster stew was not much large. We looked forward to the fries appetizer with fresh rosemary, garlic and parm cheese... no rosemary, parsley instead. I tried to call several times during the business hours tonight to leave feedback, before 8PM. Unfortunately, no pickup. Disappointed have recommend this restaurant to guest from Chicago.

Overwhelmed & unprepared
Let me just say, the food was excellent, when we got it. The problem was the service. It was clear they had overbooked and we’re not adequately staffed. We waited for 20 minutes for our order to be taken. Didn’t get water refilled, and we all needed water, for another 20 minutes. When we’re deciding if we should leave, appetizers and drinks arrived, and one drink short. No real apology was offered. Seating was very cramped too. There were just 5 of us. Food came out at different times. This was our splurge meal for the end of our vacation and we all left pretty upset by the experience overall. No offer to comp drinks or appetizers or apology either.

The food was great, but the service and attempt to make-it-right was sad
The food was great, but the service and attempt to make-it-right was sad. We walked in with a booked reservation and should have known at that point that it was going to be poor service when the hostess talked under her breath about another party with a reservation just 1hr later for the same table, assuring herself that "we'd probably be done within the hour" (note that they normally book reservations for 1.5hrs between guests...). We enjoyed the delicious main courses until the hostess promptly shows up to take the empty plates away and then let us know that the next party had arrived and had been "waiting for quite some time." We had been at our reserved table for 1 hour and 5 minutes, still well within their reservation window. When our server dropped by to see if we wanted to order dessert, we declined because clearly we were being moved along. There was then the offer of moving us to another table to finish out the meal. Upon the staff learning of the situation, we were ultimately given a lackluster apology and the employee discount - better than nothing, I guess? Under these circumstances, I'd rather directly email their management staff to explain the situation instead of blasting it through a poor review. Alas, there's no email address on the website and it appears the staff that evening thought an employee discount was "making it right."
