Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the menu features seasonally rotating menus with ingredients sourced from local and regional purveyors.
Appetizers include fan favorites such as the Short Rib Poutine made with braised choice short ribs, bordelaise sauce, and Tillamook cheese curds. Another delicious option is the Oregon Pink Shrimp Ceviche. A standout among the soups and salads is the Northwest Creole Clam Chowder which is—believe it or not—dairy-free and gluten-free! It is brimming with tender clams, andouille sausage, potatoes, and sautéed vegetables.
These luscious local Manila clams are steamed up with a Public Coast Brewing Co. ’67 Blonde Ale, tomatoes, and garlic, and served with a toasted garlic baguette. Yum!
