This was our second time eating here and it was awesome! We both had the California King drink with our entrees. Dakota was our server. He was professional, funny and attentive. We will definitely spread the word and be back!

What a fun discovery just a few miles from home. Very cute eclectic decor. We had, the Mushroom ravioli, the sauce was tomato based so different than I'd had before but so yummy, the quesadilla, the Crab Caesar and the Hamburger with the bacon jam. Everything was delicious. Ordered the baguette to go with the salad and pasta and it was ok. Don't like it when they serve the oil and balsamic poured in a bowl, impossible to get any balsamic on your bread. But they brought us a little serving of the balsamic, problem solved. For dessert we had the Key Lime pie and the Marionberry crisp. The crisp was hot and delicious. The Key Lime Pie was just ok. There was more whipped cream than actual key lime pie, and it wasn't super limey and tart like usual. Looked pretty tho. The cocktails were good and the service was friendly. Definitely worth a try!

Best meal we had on our vacation by far! Parmesan panko crusted halibut is to die for & the new york steak & grilled pawns were mouthwatering! Lemon curd cheesecake was the best dessert we've ever had. Adorable ambience & incredible service. This is a hidden gem & we'll definitely be coming back!

What a wonderful restaurant. Busy, but not noisy. Reservations are necessary about a week out, and they remind you often enough via text. Lots of parking across the street. Staff are professional and welcoming. Charlotte was amazing and attentive to our questions and needs. Started with wild rice and chicken soup, which was hearty and flavorful. Appetizer burrata platter was so fresh, savory, and sweet with Burrata cheese, spinich, and grape tomatoes, balsamic, and oil served with baguette slices. Also, shrimp scampi with capers, garlic and oil. Albacore tuna melt was the bomb. Shrimp Louie salad was probably the best ever, so much crab. Topped off with the greatest piece of toasted coconut cream pie. Truly unbelievable. There are so many more items to choose from, and we will return. Be sure to budget for your visit. The only issue was the chronic odor in the men's room that needs to be attended to. A minor issue but noticeable.

During our recent weekend getaway to Lincoln City, we had the pleasure of dining at Side Door Cafe, and it turned out to be the highlight of our trip. From the moment we arrived, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Upon entering, we were warmly greeted by a hostess whose genuine smile and enthusiasm set the tone for the evening. Her passion for her role was evident, making us feel immediately welcomed. While waiting for our table, we enjoyed drinks at the bar, where a delightful strawberry blonde bartender charmed us with her vibrant energy and willingness to engage in our lighthearted banter. Her ability to go with the flow added a personal touch that we deeply appreciated. Once seated, we were fortunate to have Mike as our waiter. His attentive service and playful participation in our group’s antics celebrating “newlyweds” and a “birthday” elevated our dining experience. Mike’s professionalism, combined with his personable nature, made the evening truly special. Best waiter ever award needs to go to Mike. The culinary offerings were nothing short of spectacular. Each dish was a masterpiece, presented beautifully and bursting with flavor. The chef’s attention to detail and commitment to quality were evident in every bite. It’s rare to find a place where both the service and the food are in perfect harmony, but Side Door Cafe achieved this effortlessly. This dining experience is one I’ll cherish forever. Not only did it enhance our weekend getaway, but it also became an integral part of the memories we created. The combination of outstanding service, delectable cuisine, and a warm atmosphere ensures that we will return to Side Door Cafe whenever we’re in Lincoln City.

Dinner was dynamite.... dessert, even better. Our server was also top notch. It was our anniversary and they even wrote out a congratulatory sign for us out on the sidewalk in chalk!

What an incredible and magical place this is- tucked away like a true hidden gem, it’s something to be discovered and cherished. I will reccomend this spot always- the food was divine and the atmosphere so beautiful. Terrific service and vibes.

We had a nice seat next to the window. Dakota was great and had some good suggestions. We loved the parmesan crusted halibut. It was perfectly prepared. The crab cakes were amazing too. We look forward to visiting again. We go about once a month and love all the fresh seafood. The crab cakes were delicious. My husband said the crab Caesar salad was the best Caesar salad. I also loved the seafood combo Louie salad. The deserts were delicious and would highly recommend the salted caramel bread pudding.
