Guidebook for Lincoln City
Food Scene
Spectacular 10th story oceanfront views, wonderful fine/casual dining, with warm and friendly wait staff says it all. Parking is a challenge on rainy days if none is available adjacent to the Inn's entrance & restaurant West of 101, since you will need to park in the lot across the street and walk beneath Hwy 101 through car and pedestrian tunnel. Well worth the access challenge, even on rainy days.

At the very center of Lincoln City on NW 1st Ct (headed south on Hwy 101 one block before lighted intersection at D St). On beachfront about 10 minutes north of my home. Another spectacular ocean view.

More spectacular views right at the water's edge, with fine dining included. This time it's in Depoe Bay (Whale Capital of the World or something to that effect) a 15 minute drive south of Lincoln City on Hwy 101.
Sometimes might forget to chew, when looking out the window and seeing whales spouting both out there and also close in, near shore. If you want a good window seat be there at 11am when they open or call and make a reservation (never have, since always go when opening).

A different scene about 15 minute drive north but still in Lincoln City, closer to casino. This time a forest view for greenery and natural marsh below. Like visiting a BNB with tables and great food in every room.
Never a bad meal starting with breakfast at 7am and if still in the neighborhood, lunch and dinner too. Kids welcome with menu to suit their desire.
