The Oar House - Pacific City

Incredible food and exceptional service! We've been dining here since before the COVID pandemic, and I'm thrilled to see they are still thriving. Their corn chowder is outstanding, packed with lobster and crab, and their fish and chips are remarkable.

First of all, I want to highlight that the owner was fantastic. She truly went above and beyond for our group. However, our overall experience outside of our group was disappointing. The bartender was exceptionally rude and dismissive; she appeared quite frustrated to be serving us. It was quite unacceptable. Additionally, the size of the drinks we were served was surprisingly small. After two rounds, we decided to call it quits. It's likely that if we had been locals, we would have received better treatment, but as a large, prearranged group, it felt somewhat disrespectful.

A fantastic restaurant in Pacific City! It was formerly known as The Tidewater. They serve delicious French Dip sandwiches, French fries, and Fish and Chips! It brought back fond memories, as my husband and his band used to perform live music there. We had a table by the window, allowing us to watch the fishermen on the Nestucca River. They also offer a charming outdoor garden patio with tables where you can dine. Hats off to the chef and the wonderful waitstaff! Thank you for a delightful meal! Five stars!

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

I will definitely be returning! The prices for both food and beer are very reasonable. I can’t wait to go back during my next visit. In my opinion, this is absolutely the best place in town!
