My husband and I dined here one evening while we were on our honeymoon. We were seated at what looked like the best table in the house, such an amazing view. The food was really excellent, my husband still comments on the scallops he had. The server was extremely nice and helped us decide on an excellent bottle of wine... more

My husband and I have been dining at the Bay House for 20 years and hope to continue dining there for the next 20. We visit the Oregon Coast about every two months and our visit to the Bay House is always a hightlight. This is a restaurant that keeps its wait staff for many years and they are friends... more

We went there for my husband's 40th with friends and they made, especially for him the best Mud Pie we all had every tasted. The staff knew their jobs and were very attentive and the food was excellent, it was expensive but worth every penny, the filet minon just melted in your mouth. more

The view of the Siletz Bay is from the dining area is wonderful, but the food is troublesome. The chef seems bent to ruin the natural flavors of good ingredients through misguided combinations and preparations. I have never had sweetbreads so ill-prepared, tasting as if they had been cooked in yesterday's dirty oil. The ling cod was average and really... more

Bay House was listed in the Best Places to Kiss in the Northwest book, and what a gem. It is pricey, but it's quality food and delicious. The place is gorgeous inside, with views of the bay from every table. Our waiter was fantastic, friendly and attentive. We started with the crab cakes and hummus plate appetizers. The crab cakes... more

Its been a few weeks since I dined there...but what the hell is up with strawberry duck and on my dads dish there was raisins and crab in the risotto. I'm sorry..some things just don't work. For the price that you are paying for the entrees you would expect that you receive perfection; not confusion. Simple is better sometimes. Hopefully... more

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to post a review of your experience at The Bay House. I only wish I could understand it. I feel as though I should apologize to you for the fact that the chef composed a creative dish that you didn't understand. I don't remember seeing anything that mentioned that your father didn't enjoy his...

My husband and I happened upon this little shingled restaurant last summer on a short getaway to the beach for a few days. We typically enjoy dining at new places each evening of any outing, but this lovely place brought us back two nights in a row! If we'd been staying a third, chances are good we'd have made yet... more

Several lady friends and myself had a recent birthday luncheon at the Bay House and looked forward to the opportunity to see the new lunch menu, surroundings, and cocktail lounge. The service was very good, the food reasonable, and the ambiance peaceful and quiet. We soon found out why there were only two other tables dining at what should have... more

We just visited The Bay House for a special anniversary and had a wonderful evening! It was a dark, stormy night, so the view wasn't great, but the hospitality, service and especially the food was excellent!!! The wine list alone is worth the trip. more
