The Oar House - Pacific City

Friendly staff, great service, outstanding tasting food, great menu. If I lived closer, I would eat there all the time. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30

Very hit-and-miss, the recent hiring of an all 17-year-old staff has left a smack of ineptitude on the place, service is painfully slow even when there’s three servers on in an empty restaurant. When the right kitchen staff is in, the food can be impeccable, satisfying, and reasonably priced; otherwise it will come across as standard bar-fare. Food: 5 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 2

Was disappointed when we ordered the crab boil and got charged $48 for half a crab, four mussels/clams, and a potato in some water with melted margarine. Always had good seafood experiences at the coast, and for the price I expected much more, or even just some seasoning. Just disappointed but the money was spent so it is what it is.

The service was good. The food was good. Had the prawn duo. The coconut shrimp is really good. The asparagus was really good with the meal. The brisket macaroni is good, but maybe a little heavy on the fatty side, could probably use a vegetable or fruit or something to help up break up the fat from the cheese and the fat from the brisket. I recommend making reservations if you plan to go on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday evenings during the summer.

We went here on a recommendation and I am very glad we did! Nice view of the river, and the menu is very expansive! There is something for everyone. Definitely worth a stop, and would recommend it over nearby popular eateries.
