The menu here is a celebration of Oregon's bountiful coast, offering a diverse range of seafood that's both traditional and innovative. The cod and chips are a must-try, but the halibut tacos are a delightful surprise, adding a delicious twist to the expected.

The seafood's batter is light, allowing the fresh flavors to shine through, perfectly complemented by fries that strike the ideal balance between crispy and fluffy. Not to overlook the coleslaw and chowder, which have both earned their accolades, particularly the chowder, which many, including myself, consider being the best around.
