Local Ocean Seafoods

Hands down one of the best meals we've had in a long time. Our waitress, Meghan, was wonderful! We started off with roasted garlic and dungeoness crab soup that was delicious. Roasted garlic and cheesy goodness with lots of crab. They also gave us each a small plate of smoked black cod over plantains that was the perfect bite. My husband had oyster- he said the bold from Yaqunia Bay were the best but the surprise was the cucumber salsa that paired beautifully with the oysters. The star of the show for me was the Rockfish horchata. The fish was cooked perfectly and paired amazingly with the pumpkin/horchata sauce. He got the Black cod ramen which was a lovely cold night meal.

Stopped in for a birthday dinner. We got the fish and chips with halibut and the crab po boy. I think I liked the sandwich even more than the fish! The crab was delicious and the roll was so soft. Good tartar sauce, too. We were surprised by the 20% automatically added gratuity for dining in. So be aware of that if that’s a turn off.

Great atmosphere, sitting at the window with a sunset over the harbor. Friendly, attentive service. Food was a mixed bag. Oyster shooter: oyster was great, fresh and plumb. Cocktail sauce too thick, wouldn't come out of the glass. Crab chowder just luke warm, bland. The smoked salmon in the smoked salmon salad way too salty. Tuna dish was great. Fish stew was the highlight of the evening, great flavor and loaded with fish and shellfish.

Took a Sunday afternoon to enjoy lunch with the Chef's Tasting Menu, and it was fantastic. Creative, elegantly plated, cohesive flavors and excellent tastes! Highly recommend any tuna dish from here, cooked to perfection! The seafood pasta was packed jam with scallops, shrimp, and dungeness crab with a variety of vegetables. Highly recommend!!! I am excited to return and try more of the menu!

What a pleasant surprise!  I would even go so far as to say that this is the best seafood restaurant in Oregon.   Living in the Portland area, I think we have tried most of the highly-rated ones around town, but Local Ocean Seafood blows them out of the water easily. Quality and taste are the two main things that stand out - all the seafood used in the dishes we ordered was very fresh.   It's also cooked to perfection, without using much salt.  In fact, every dish was perfectly balanced and filled with generous servings of seafood.    We had Seafood Linguini and two different stews and all were delicious.  The waiter told us that they started out as a seafood shop for the local fishermen, then branched out to a cafe, teaching the local residents how to prepare seafood.   Boy, I'd say they can now teach many top chefs! Service was great, compared to what you get in big cities like Portland.    The waiter was warm and attentive.     The only slight knock is the mandatory 20% tip charged to the bill, although we would have gladly paid that much anyway.

Scott was amazing. The food and drinks were great. The setting was great. They brought out the fire pits and too the umbrellas when it became shady. The food was great, we ordered the salmon and I got the halibut (or a white fish, it's been a while). I decided to finally make a review because Scott's personality and service should not go unnoticed. He was the best server I've ever met. He was personable, went into detail, and was always attentive. The restaurant is lucky to have him!!!

Had 6:15 reservations. The four of us were sat immediately, upstairs at a window table with a fantastic view over the harbor. Our server was well versed with the menu and did a fantastic job from start to finish (9/10/23).... It looks like the 2nd server may have been cut around 7 pm, and then our only server performed a remarkable job taking care of 6 or 7 more tables with at least 4-6-9 people each....BRAVO.... The food was delicious. We brought our own bottle of an especially memorable bottle of wine...

My fiancé and I loved everything about this place. Great service, INCREDIBLE seafood, clean and spacious dining area, and awesome views of the harbor no matter where you sit. If you are looking for a meal with fresh Oregon seafood, this is the best, freshest place to go in town. Oh - and best cocktails on this stretch of the coast by far! Can’t wait to go back for lunch & another specialty drink.

Amazing. I ate way too much but I was so satisfied with everything I ordered. Perfect lunch, now I need a nap. Update: 2 weeks later drove across Oregon again and guess where I had to come eat. Once again, it was so good 👍 I got a couple of the same things but that chocolate mousse tart is phenomenal. And had to add an extra day to the trip so I popped by for a quick lunch and to try something different. More pictures 😍
