Grabbed a seat at the counter, loved watching the chefs prep everything. The bruschetta was the real star though&mdash;so fresh and the flavors just worked. That little starter made my night.

Riley&#39;s biscuits and gravy are a standout. Don&#39;t judge by the outside, the food is solid and the servings are nice sized.

Nice to see a dog-friendly patio with water bowls and treats. My dog settled right in, which made the lunch meeting much smoother. The staff was accommodating. A practical spot for a business lunch if you have your dog with you.

Got Derick as my bartender. He&rsquo;s the real deal. Actually listens. Makes a solid old fashioned. That&rsquo;s it.

Portions are huge for the price. The five-piece fish and fries kept me full all afternoon. Just a heads up, it&#39;s cash only.

Been coming here for years, and the fish stew is still the reason. It&rsquo;s that rich, funky broth that keeps me coming back. The place under the bridge is a classic, but honestly, I&rsquo;m just here for the bowl. Never disappoints.

The cioppino was incredible, best I&#39;ve ever tried. We were stuffed but just kept going. Their tiramisu was a great way to end it. The wine list had a nice Italian red that paired beautifully with the seafood stew.

Service was solid. Our server handled a table of 8 with separate checks smoothly, no fuss. Appreciated the efficiency.

The oysters were huge, and the clam chowder was really good. It&#39;s a nice, friendly mom-and-pop spot.

The fried oysters are the star of the combo. Big, plump, and full of flavor. The hand-cut fries are good, but they come plain so you have to add your own salt.

The shrimp was cooked just right, flavors on point. I appreciated the wine list&mdash;found a nice crisp white that paired well. A bit pricey, but we&#39;ll stop by again next time we&#39;re in Seaside.

Great spot for a quick bite. Food is made to order, so it takes a minute. But the gravy is fantastic.

The patio&#39;s oceanfront view is the real star here. Grabbed a late lunch and ended up staying through sunset. Just the sound of the waves and that golden light over the water. Made the whole meal.

Been coming here for years, and the sushi still hits the spot. The fish is always fresh, nice texture. What keeps me coming back is the rolls&mdash;creative combos, generous portions, and the sauces are balanced, never too heavy. It&#39;s just consistently good.

The House Special and Chow Mein were huge. Way more than enough for two people. Prices felt fair for the amount you get. The noodles were solid, good chew to them.

The charcuterie board is the only thing I remember. The house-made pickles and mustard were sharp, cut through the cured meats nicely. Good with a beer.

The lavender gin &amp; tonic was a hit with my friends! Perfect for sharing a round and catching up. Cocktails here are definitely the move.

Solid Chicago dog. The beef-pork blend inside is legit. Crispy, golden-brown batter holds up well. A bit pricey for what it is, but hits the spot.

The cod was cooked just right, and the onion rings were crispy. It&rsquo;s a classic diner burger spot. I did think the prices were a little on the high side for the overall experience. Still, a comfortable place for a straightforward meal.

The coffee is so smooth! And the local pastries smell incredible. I love that they have local artists&#39; stuff on the walls, it gave my friend and me something fun to talk about while we hung out.

Been getting the chicken teriyaki rice plate here for ages. It&#39;s my reliable spot for a quick catch-up with friends.
