Local Ocean Seafoods

It was an incredible meal/experience. My wife and I went for a romantic lunch on vacation. We did a massive spread of various small dishes. The portion sizes were very generous. The seafood was very fresh and well prepared. The oysters were shucked excellently. The roasted garlic and dungeoness crab soup was out of this world good. They have the best crab cakes I’ve had in the PNW over the last 6 years. The steamer clams were a delight. My wife got the crab boil which had a pretty good size crab along with a good amount of shrimp and clams. The service was impeccable and we cannot wait to come back for another meal!

I was eating alone. They brought me upstairs. I was expecting to sit at a table. They sat me at the bar for a brief moment. I wasn't thrilled, but I had Brooke as the server, and she was the bartender and my server. She gave me masterful service. The food was absolutely delicious. I went with the hallibut fish and chips, and I got the chocolate dessert that came in a chilled ramekin. It will just melt in your mouth. I was never more satisfied with having a meal. And the excellent service I received. I highly recommend you take the time to try out this restaurant when you're in Newport. If you don't get the opportunity to eat here when you're in Newport then it truly wasn't worth your trip.

The best crab boil and crab cakes I have ever had. The hostess was great, server was great. I recommend making a reservation for the upstairs, super nice area with a great view. The flan dessert was also great! We will be back!

My fiance and I loved our lunch at Local Ocean. My rockfish italiano sandwich was fantastic (the fish was flaky and delicious and matched perfectly with the other deli meats on the sandwich), the crab cake we shared was delicious, and my fiance's fish and chips were really great (they were breaded and crispy-- different than the usual battered and fried fish and chips I've tried from anywhere else, but the fish here was delicious)! When I was researching a place to stop for lunch, this place was very highly recommended and I can see why. Next time we make our way through Newport, I would love to try some of the soups/stews since they seemed absolutely incredible. Looking forward to being back here again some day!

Well- balanced creation with every order! I visited Newport, hoping to make some gourmet seafood dinners as most restaurants in general disappoint us—not this place. I had Crab & Shrimp Louie and the green was fresh & clean, eggs perfectly done, and dressing was rich yet light-handed and complimented nicely with the seafood. My husband ordered Tuna Reuben and it was a WOW, too. My soup/chowder (crab) was unbelievable—not with that “the thicker, the better” mentality that I resent about most restaurants’ chowders. Theirs is what I find the standard most places could follow. Thank you…! Awww… They impressed me with the handling and construction of each dish that highlighted the ingredients. It was a lovely place serving American/Oregon bounty that reminded me of restaurants in southern Fr
