Pacific Way Cafe Marketplace - Gearhart

Pacific Way Cafe was a great find in Gearhart Oregon. The atmosphere was very calm and cozy, I would say a little on the fancier side, which the pricing indicates, but is reasonable for the quality of food you are getting. We had the Clam Chowder and Dungeness Crab Shrimp cakes to start. The chowder was good but the crab cakes were fantastic! They were by far my favorite dish of the night. It was served with pickled veggies and a lemon caper yogurt sauce that balanced everything perfectly. After that my boyfriend ordered the Togarashi Halibut and I had the Miso Glazed King Salmon. The Halibut was cooked perfectly and was served with delicious seasoned vegetables that brought a lot of flavor and brightness to the dish all around. It had a slow heat that we liked, but it didn’t impair the flavor experience of the dish. I had the Miso Glazed King Salmon and it was wonderful. The salmon skin had a great crunch that balanced the meat of the salmon well. The Veggies served with it were on the spicer side, still palatable but noticeable, and paired extremely well with the salmon. All in all I feel that the Chef at this restaurant has a passion for the food they are making and a great pallet. Their care and creativity shined through with each dish and I appreciated being able to eat such great quality food in a small coastal town! The service team was also amazing! We had a great experience and would definitely recommend trying it out!

Fantastic meal and really attentive staff. Love this place by the beach a must in Gearhart.

Quaint setting, and a unique menu and tasty food that would rival any Portland restaurant. The owner welcomed us and told us about the chef and the menu which was very much appreciated. We followed her recommendations. It was delicious. Note: you must have reservations as they do not take walk-ins.

We enjoyed it here. It's fresh, seasonal, local food, on the beach, so we thought the price was fair. This is probably one of the top restaurants in town. We especially liked the wine here!

Good foods. The service was lacking but in their defense it was a flurry of customers. They were making mistakes and customers were returning to the counter for items missing. One young family made three trips to the counter. Aside from that it’s worth a try. We would return.
