Where to Eat and Drink on the Oregon Coast
"At the north end of Netarts Bay, the ship-shape Schooner is one of the most impressive buildings around, with roof panels lifted upward like sails and plenty of covered, comfortable deck seating. The family-friendly food is upscale pub grub, with diners as comfortable eating burgers and pizza as they are a crispy calamari salad. The clam chowder base uses milk from a dairy 20 minutes away, while the pretty Netarts Bay oysters rockoyaki — a play on the classic Rockefeller treatment with greens, pork belly, and a mayonnaise-based motoyaki sauce — arrive nestled on beach rocks in a searing-hot cast-iron pan. The restaurant features live music and special benefits for charities like the Oregon Food Bank. Grab a dozen in-shell Netarts oysters to take home when available." - Jennifer Burns Bright
