Travelers Cove

Another wonderful meal and friendly welcoming service. It has been several years since I was last there and all was as good as last visit. Over looking the bay with an outside table in the sunshine for lunch. I enjoyed the chicken /spinach enchiladas and my sister the mushrooms/spinach enchiladas both with an IPA. Excellent. Highly recommend this location. Hope you will also enjoy. Busy location...

Homegrown Public House

Featuring Northwest Food and Beverages, a full bar and unique menu at modest prices.

Reviewed By Peeteega

I started eating at Homegrown about a year ago, as often as once every couple of weeks. The food was great, service sometimes "iffy." If I arrived an hour before closing, some of the servers were more attentive to their closing tasks than providing good service. However, the great food, beer selection, and comfortable environment made up for it. Now it appears the situation has reversed, i.e. great service, still great beers, and the food I've had has been between average and awful. I ordered the nightly special last week which was supposed to be a veggie curry. There was very minimal sauce/liquid at the bottom of the bowl, a thick layer of rice, and the bowl was brimming with overcooked, tasteless veggies. The broccoli was brown, other items falling apart. The GOOD side was that the server, when she saw I'd eaten three bites and pushed it aside, refunded my check for that item. That is the second time I've ordered the nightly special and it, too, was very poor. Perhaps the cook just doesn't have the training or knowledge to differ from the standard menu? My salad was fresh which then comprised my entire meal. The lemon vinaigrette is very good. I will return for the excellent service (Jill) and stick to the more simple menu items.

Reviewed By RueterRD

We were visiting Florence for a couple of days and had lunch here. The food was very good and just the right proportion for us. We both had the "Philly Steak" sandwich. The staff was very courteous and attentive. Our table was in the patio in the rear of the restaurant and is covered. They also have sidewalk tables, but the sun was way to hot for us. The patio was perfect.

This a quaint local eatery that serves up large and hearty servings. I had the Veggie omelet with a crunchy side of hash browns and wheat toast. Hubby had a large bowl of flavorful seafood chowder made in-house. Lots of choices on the menu. Service was great. Cash and checks only. However there is a cash machine located there. Loved it.

We just came back from the restaurant and had food eaten both at the Hukilau and also ordered takeout it was so good. We read the reviews about restaurants in the area we are camping in and this one caught our interest and it didn’t disappoint! It has a family feeling and service was very professional and friendly.The sushi was excellent and for us original with mango strips on it, and fish and crab was delicious with good sized portions. The non alcoholic and alcoholic drinks were also delicious as well. We would recommend this restaurant definitely.It was also dog friendly on their outside patio as we brought our dog along as well.

Nestled above the Siuslaw River, the Bay View Bistro is located inside the Best Western Pier Point Inn but this is NOT your average hotel restaurant. Come for the spectacular view, but stay for the delicious food and superior service. The Bay View Bistro

I am very happy that i stumbled inside the Waterfront depot. It was packed but i was able to get a seat at the bar. There was a great display of home made gateaux and pies plus everyone was extremely hospitable. This always helps.The food menu was one of the sort where you dont know which dish NOT to take.I can only highly recommend this family run place and will hopefully come back again.

We wandered into Mari's when the other places on Bay St. were too busy. Lucky accident. They advised us that they had recently relocated to the Bay St. location from another spot in Florence.Unusual menu. Selections from Eastern Europe, Italy, France and traditional US seafood dishes and all are excellent. We even shared a dolmas appetizer, something I have not had in years! The crab cakes were a popular choice with our group but I had the special, a cioppino-like fish stew. Outstanding. The special desert was creme brûlée and it is my favorite desert. I sample it whenever I can and Mari's was the best I've had in recent memory. Thank you was a pleasure to be our guest.
