Some of our favorite Oregon restaurants are right on the water. There’s nothing like dining with an ocean, river, or lake view, and the closer you can get to the the water, the better. Here’s a floating restaurant that has delicious food and some beautiful water views.

There's a pretty little floating restaurant on Hayden Island that you should definitely put on your dining bucket list this summer.
