There are many good places along the coast, I would have to recommed any of the following: Salashan Lodge (probably the top rated restaurant in Oregon), The Ark, a place called the Spouting Horn in Depoe Bay (I think that is the name, it is right next to the charter boat office and has a great crab dish). There is a "chain" called Mo's that serves good clam chowder and can make a good lunch break. The Windward Inn in Florence looks fairly touristy but served good food. I would recommed picking up a copy of the magazine called Oregon Coast. It will tell you what is happening all along the coast, as well as give locations to many things to see and places to eat.

Have fun.

There's a lot of discussion going on in alt.culture.oregon about resturants in the Pacific City area.  Most noted are Greatful Bread and Pacific City Seafood. Net in if you can.

One of the most enjoyable and romantic events in my life was a dinner on the Oregon coast.  But it wasn't in any resturant.  I just bought some killer Dungenous (sp?) crab at Salty Vons in Lincoln City, grabbed a bottle of Knudsen Erath white (I forget which grape) and dined while watching the sunset from Wale Cove.  They don't call it the Twenty Miracle Miles for nothin'.
