"With one of the most stunning views of any restaurant on the Oregon Coast, Port Orford’s favorite date-night dining melds romantic sunsets, colorful art and freshly prepared seafood. Owned and operated by the Hawthorne family of artists — who also own the gallery next door — the Redfish experience includes lively abstract art on the wall and bespoke funky chairs and bar furnishings crafted by metalworkers. Chef Paul Grossi serves lunch and dinner dishes like freshly caught fish tacos, two kinds of savory cakes (tiny pink shrimp and halibut), and lamb burgers made with meat raised in nearby Langlois. When the sun shines, sit out on the deck to gaze upon Battle Rock beach while sipping a martini and nibbling on cheese-and-vegetable beignets." - Jennifer Burns Bright
