Lovely bay view, delicious crab and shrimp cake, and good service. The calamari was really good too. More

I had lunch there after reading some of the reviews. I found the view good and the service efficient. I had tuna with linguine. The tuna was a sizable portion and was good; it was nicely undercooked. The linguine had a reddish cast from the sauce and the flavor was odd. I did not finish the linguine. My lunch did... More

SS consistently serves delicious meals, particularly seafood. Located on the end of a dock, they have a great view over Yaquina Bay & port. A good place to have a relaxed sit-down meal. I have eaten here many times over several years, and have always enjoyed the food and experience. A great place to bring family and visitors. One of... More

Fantastic view, wonderful food. The BEST calamari in the U.S.! (Allright, maybe I haven't tried them all, but...this is really, really, really, good). Crab cakes are excellent--big lumps of fresh crab from the fishing boats in the bay. The staff are friendly and always smiling. Wine list is good for what we find on the coast. Absolutely the best upper-end... More

After several disappointing restaurant experiences along the Oregon Coast, we landed in Newport and happened upon Saffron Salmon. I'm very glad we did. First off, the restaurant is tiny, and reservations are a must. My husband and I arrived on time but had to wait for almost a half an hour for our table. We were compensated by a complimentary...

I had another great meal here in March 2012. I don't understand the reviews I read about getting a reservation here because I called, got one, showed up on time and was seated. No problem, no issues. The restaurant is small which adds to the charm. The service was great, the view wonderful, and the salmon superb. The presentation was... More

This is a small, one room restaurant with an amazing sunset view of the Newport Bay bridge. We had a group of 7 driving down the coast to play golf in Bandon. Had a lovely meal of local seafood with excellent Oregon wine. Would visit again! More

Hidden somewhat in the back of a building, this is a very nice restaurant owned and operated by a very nice couple. Food is fresh and features seafood and meat dishes. More
