The Wheelhouse & Crowsnest

We went upstairs to the Crowsnest and the views were beautiful. Suki took care of us and was sweet and helpful. The Crab Cocktail was great. The crab was fresh and delicious and the little bit of cocktail sauce was something that I have never had with crab meat but was a wonderful addition. The deep fried stuffed mushrooms were very good, and I am normally not a fan of mushrooms. The grilled salmon was beautifully moist and had a nice charred note. The scallops and shrimp in the seafood linguine were very good. The noodles were a bit soft and watery, the flavors in the seafood tomatoes carried the dish to being good if not great.

Stopped here for lunch. The best thing about it was our server and the water. The food was not good. I had the blackened chicken pasta and it was not at all what I expected it to be. I have had this dish in many restaurants in many states and although everyone always has their own take on it, never have I ever had what tasted like jarred marinara sauce on it. It was not edible. My husband ordered the Cajun seafood grill and he said the seafood tasted like it was fresh off the Sysco truck. To their credit, they did take my meal off the bill because I couldn’t eat it, even though I said I was happy to pay for it. And it does have a relaxing atmosphere and good views to enjoy.

We went to this restaurant on a Saturday around 1:00 PM. We picked the closest restaurant to where we parked. Going in we were told to sit wherever and picked a spot in the corner that had a nice view of the harbor. Our waitress brought us menus then a few minutes later some lightly flavored citrus waters. I ordered shrimp linguine and my guest ordered a hamburger. Another group of four was sat at the table behind ours and they were criticizing the wine selections and taste because the bottle had been opened already and lost flavor. It took a while to get refills on our waters. Once we got our food my guest wanted ranch for the fries but the waiter took off before we could ask for anything. She said the burger tasted like it was previously frozen. My salad had wilted lettuce, but it is lik

The best dinner of our 10-day road trip along the Oregon coast. This is Oregon cranberry country, and the cranberry bread that accompanied our meal was phenomenal. If you stop by early enough, you can order a loaf and pick it up the next day. My salad featured shrimp and cranberries--an unusual combination, but it worked beautifully--just delicious. Service was great. Highly recommended.

The Wheelhouse quickly became my favorite restaurant while visiting Bandon! My friend and I enjoyed it so much that we ate there three times in just two days. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. They were very accommodating with my dairy- and gluten-free requests, which I really appreciated. Great prices, generous portions, and delicious food — the sauce was the cherry on top (honey vineggrette) I highly recommend it!
