"More like Restaurant WHOA! I wanna first say: unbeatable prices for the quality of food and service here. The happy hour is outstanding. It’s almost as though this chef wants to create a special and satisfying experience for all, while not requiring patrons to shell out beaucoup bucks solely for the price of admission. You can have a 3-course prix fixe dinner for $65, and the 6-course chef’s tasting menu for $95– both offer wine pairing— BUT you can also have an outstanding $7 caipirinha or old fashioned from 4-6pm. I have to censor the rest of the following prices, because they’re such a bargain that I don’t want people to know the exact number. We had an awesome $x antipasti, paid $x for the best tempura prawns I’ve ever had (TEMPURA, not just fried), had a $1x lb of mussels in an amazing and authentic broth (guy brought us homemade focaccia to dip in it: the words cannot be said on this platform). They make their own pasta. We didn’t have the pasta, but we had the spot prawn special and it was sooooo interesting. Dare to be adventurous! There are things on the menu you won’t find anywhere else around. You can tell that somebody really competent is running the show, and everybody I saw seemed happy to work there. I live in one of the top foodie places in the world, and I think this is up there with the best, east to west, and I’m so glad this gem is in Coos Bay. I want to go every day for the rest of my trip. Thanks Restaurant O! Vegetarian options: Lots o’ “V”s up in here. Dietary restrictions: Many vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Ingredients are mostly clearly written in the description."

"For our second visit, the host and staff cordially seated us in the dining room, attended to us promptly and afforded us a personal visit from the friendly owner. We had read that alcoholic beverages are now being served, a wonderful and anticipated change from our first visit. Bottled water with a basket of pita and chopped marinated red pepper were offered as a complimentary starter while we reviewed the options for our meals. The menu is extensive and the portions are ample. For an appetizer, my wife I enjoyed authentic falafel with humus and arugula accompanied with a sour cream topping. Unlike what we’ve eaten in other restaurants that serve this delicacy, our appetizer was savory, nicely presented and tasted better than any we’ve had in the Capital District. For our main dishes, my wife, a vegetarian, had the eggplant salad platter with baby baked potatoes, cherry tomatoes, ample cheese topping and a sizable green salad. My dinner meal was the branzino filets, delicately and artfully arranged mashed potatoes and a green salad. Both meals were served on large plates and very hot. Neither plate had any leftovers! Completing our meal were a serving of pistachio baklava and a pot of decaffeinated rooibos tea. The ambiance and excellent service by Sean made for an extremely favorable impression on us during this follow up visit. Needless to say, we highly recommend this restaurant, and we’ll be back!"
