All food was fresh and well prepared. Make a reservation as the place is small and cozy. Seafood and chowder were exceptional.

I had read a recommendation somewhere online and looked up the restaurant website, it looked pretty good so we wanted to give it a try. We could not make a reservation on-line, and we had been travelling most of the day so did not know exactly what time we would be in Florence so we took our chances. The place... More

The restaurant is small, located in a renovated heritage home overlooking the Siuslaw River and bridge, and so you will need to make reservations. The seafood is delicious! My wife had the Razor Clams and I chose the Crab Encrusted Halibut. It was the prices that bumped this place to five stars. You just can't beat the value for money... More

We went back to have the lamb shank dish again. The restaurant has a very nice atomosphere, great food and service. It's difficult to get a table without a reservation but it's fun to sit at the bar. We will be back there again.

I went because of reviews here and I just do not see what you are talking about. First we walked in, waited for our table right where a gal was fixing appitizers. How does the health department let that happen? Then the tables were so close together people had to squeeze by our table to get to the bar. My... More

If you are stopping in Florence you must eat here! Where to begin...Service; top notch, friendly fun people. The food...that's the OMG! and the prices for the quality is remarkable. We had the Crab encrusted Halibut with chili cream sauce...to die for and the Flat Iron steak with Shrimp. The steak was cooked to perfection and the shrimp was moist... More

Canadian friends recommended this restaurant to us. We were lucky to get a seat at the bar on a Saturday evening as it was busy; the astute hostess worked with us while we drank a local craft beer until a place opened up. Service, food and ambiance were all wonderful. We had Wild Alaska Salmon and Crab Encrusted Halibut; both... More

We found this place on a recommendation by a local resident. I thouroughly enjoyed everything, the food, the service, and the atmosphere. The staff were so friendly and professional. We sat at a window table with a beautiful view of the river and bridge. We had the crab stuffed mushrooms for starters which were wonderful. The stuffing was all crab... More
