Restaurants near The Wayside Inn

Can't say enough about how great a night we had at Bridgewater Bistro. It was a birthday celebration and the management did everything to make it a night to remember. We were offered two drinks immediately - gratis - because we were a little early. We sat by the cozy fire while we sipped on a lovely syrah and delicious pinot noir each. After a very short wait, we were led to the best table in the house and treated thereafter like royalty. Warm bread with oil arrived and then the calimari we ordered for an appetizer. It was just right: very lightly coated and seasoned just right so that the flavor came through wonderfully. My partner had the short rib of beef while I had bouillabaisse - a scrumptious fish medley over risotto. The complimentary birthday dessert was their famous Oregon berry cobbler with vanilla bean ice cream. Wonderful! The manager (perhaps owner) and wait staff were so kind and went well out of their way to make our night memorable. This restaurant is certainly THE restaurant in Astoria. Highly recommended.

Finally they named the crab bake the crab bake! Start with a crab cocktail, finish with the crab bake and you’ll be a happy camper. Oh, and the drink cocktails are excellent as well.

This was a simply outstanding experience! The food was superb and the wait staff friendly and attentive. Very highly recommended!

Excellent restaurant in every respect; food, service, decor, you name it. This is a genuine diamond in the rough. I will never understand how a small town restaurant can find such talented kitchen staff. Pretty amazing. You won't be disappointed.
