    We were passing through Astoria on our way to Cannon Beach and found this gem! Previously a cannery that was renovated to a high end restaurant. Perfect location with wonderful views. The food was fresh and delicious. My husband said the best fish and chips he’s ever had. I loved my salad and albacore tuna sandwich. Wish they were located in Cannon Beach, so we could enjoy again while on our vacation. Our server was friendly and attentive. The hostess was also friendly and welcoming. I left my hat behind and the hostess found me on my way out to return. Best restaurant we’ve been to so far in Oregon. Highly recommend!

    The building and the location were amazing. We had incredible service but I didn’t think the food was very good, especially for the price.

    Had a wonderful surprise dinner here. They knew it was a birthday celebration and were very hospitable and friendly. Dinner was delicious and the views over the Columbia were great.

    Beautiful space and wonderful service. The food was good as well. My highest marks go to the grilled salmon that was cooked perfectly. Moist and tender. We tried the pasta Alfredo, fish and chips and bouliabase as well with good reports. I am not sure I would order the chickpea cakes again but the chimmi churri sauce and carrot puree over them were very tasty. Desserts are all top notch. Blonde brownie Sunday and cobbler. I definitely recommend this spot for a nice dinner in Astoria.

    Great servers. I had a Reuben. Corned beef was very tough and difficult to eat even with a fork. The Caesar was good . I asked for light dressing and it was light.
