The Oregon Coast ~ Restaurant Raves

by | Oct 7, 2009 | Pacific Ocean, Tenth Anniversary | 3 comments

Before we left for our trip I looked into which Restaurants would be worth visiting.  I made a list of a few of the highly recommended ones and we were not disappointed.  Everything we ordered was so delicious!   We decided to eat out just once each day to help keep the cost of the trip down and give us more time to enjoy the beach and the condo.

The first night we went out for dinner and ate at a Restaurant that was just down the street called The Blackfish Cafe.

After dinner we actually considered just eating here the rest of the trip since the food was so good.  I felt silly taking a picture of our meals but they were too pretty not to! 😉

~ Hubby’s Dinner ~
Grilled Ling Cod with Coast Range Mushroom Relish
Served with roasted Butternut Squash Bisque, Carlton Bacon braised Brussel Sprouts and Russian Fingerling Potatoes with grilled Mushroom Relish
~ My Dinner ~
The “Special” (aka: the BEST Halibut EVER)
Served with roasted Pepper Bisque, Carlton Bacon braised Greens and Pesto Risotto

Both were served with bread and salad and we shared a bowl of Clam Chowder… They aren’t kidding when they say it is “The best Clam Chowder on the Oregon Coast!”

On Saturday we ended up going out for a late lunch/early dinner at Tidal Raves, in Depoe Bay, after a little window shopping and whale watching.

Thankfully we had made reservations earlier that morning because that place was packed, even at 2pm. All the tables in the restaurant have a view of the ocean, but we were lucky to have an awesome table right next to the window. Check out the view!

Once again the food was really yummy, though the clam chowder wasn’t quite as good as at The Blackfish Cafe.

~ Hubby’s Lunch ~ 
Mixed Seafood Platter
Garlic sauteed Pacific Cod, Oysters, and Tiger Shrimp 
served with mixed Vegetables and Rice Pilaf

~ My Lunch ~ 
Grilled Halibut Tacos
Served With Corn Tortillas, Cilantro dressed Cabbage, 
 roasted Pepper Rice, Pico de Gallo, and Black Beans

We even had dessert:  Tiramisu and their “Famous” Key Lime Pie!

On Sunday morning after Mass and checking out of the Condo we went to Brunch at The Wildflower Grill.  It was absolutely charming and we had a little table on the patio looking over a huge pond.

~ Hubby’s Breakfast ~ 
Crab Benedict
Poached Eggs & Local Crab on Wildflower Toast
With Hash Browns and topped with choice of Hollandaise Sauce

~ My Breakfast ~
Chanterelle Mushroom Omelet 
Three Egg Omelet stuffed with Chanterelle Mushrooms, Chiles, 
and diced Tomatoes, topped Sour Cream and Avocado
Served with Wildflower Toast, Marion Berry Jam, and Hash-browns

Ok, now I am really craving some more of these yummy foods!!

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
