Beaches Restaurant & Bar

Alert: Beaches is closing at the end of 2024. It's a darn shame too, we were here with a larger party, well cared for (despite check needs), and overall delighted.Our party shared a number of appetizers, everyone had an entree, and most had dessert.The only slow moment was when we needed items prepared by the bar (soda pops, n/a cocktails, etc.)Clam chowder - Herby and right viscosity Korean teriyaki tidbits - hit appetizerQuick fried calamari - no hint of rubber to my portionOyster shooter - I should have "shot" it but did okay on a forkBeaches fries- give me more!!! :)My entree was the melon salad, easily large enough for some take home. If I lived closer I may have.Chicken bubba bowl - heard positive thingsKalbi beef short ribs - very well received Salmon- well received NY Strip - good, but apparently different from the previous visitPork chop - so tender & juicy. Huge! Worth the price.Dessert: go for the Almond Roca or the key lime pie

Korean Teriyaki Steak Tidbits, Quick Fried Calamari and Tortilla Soup are sure winners!Enjoyed the evening sitting on the water with my family. The seating was great for a perfect night. But what made this particular visit extremely awesome was the service. Shout out to Donna! When I discovered she was management, then it made sense why our encounter with the staff was so AWESOME! Believe it when you hear that good staff is a reflection of great management. Hats off to Abby, Earl and special thanks to Destiny.We look forward to the chance to return and dine again!

The Thai Sesame Pork is a REVELATION. Is it listed as an "appetizer"? Yes. But would I straight up order this just for myself, call it dinner, and not share with the rest of the table? Also yes. And that's 100% what I did. It's crispy and sweet and super addicting. The spicy mustard was the chef's kiss that really put it over the edge for me. Too much and you're clearing out your sinuses (which honestly just lets you smell the sesame pork better), but when you get the perfect amount on your bite? Heaven. Our server Janica (I hope I spelled that right, Janica!) was delightful. She was fun, gave me a great wine recommendation (Red Wine - Three Finger Jack), and was very attentive. I can say with confidence that I'll be back before too long to order this again.

We've been here several times before but it's been awhile since we stopped in. The parking is always full and the spots are really tiny and compact. We got lucky and found parking right out front. It's always been a little dark inside the restaurant but we like the little beachy vibes. I asked to sit outside since it was a nice day and the hostess told us we could but that they had to wipe down a table for us. We only had 3 in our party but waited awhile to be seated and we thought maybe they had forgotten about us. The service was okay today. We've always enjoyed the food, I love their beach house salad and some of their bowls they have. I always enjoy coming here for happy hour with some our my friends. We will definitely be back again and will be sad when Beaches closes their doors forever...

RIBS!!Oh so good! I can't wait to visit again to revisit these tasty fall off the bone ribs. We also had some very flaky fish and chips. My fish and chips came with coleslaw. I was a bit disappointed with the portion size. Not a side that I would choose to hold back on. I can't imagine the cost is prohibitive. The fries were a bit cold but other than that the food was great. We sat in front of the window with a fantastic view of the river. The sailboats on the water were fun to watch. We counted 9 at one time. Then the seals showed up. Nice evening.

Let me start with Connor, my waiter was amazing. Great job! The food was delicious and exactly how I ordered it and it came out fast. The view of the water.... Well it would have been very nice but the weather was very rainy and cloudy. Nothing the restaurant could do about it. Now for the three start part! Not sure who the person was either a hostess or manager not really sure. She was so busy expressing a policy she failed customer service 101. I actually had to stop her and I said; " You can either sit me at a table or I can walk across the parking lot and eat over there." Yes, she rolled her eyes. Now I fully understand it was a Monday night and I guess they have tables reserved. I've very understanding of that. She went on for minutes about tables being reserved for special times and they are noted on the table. Kept on kept on kept on till I stopped her with my comment. It was 3:45pm and the tables were reserved for 6:00pm. I was dining solo because I was there on business. A far better word track: I'm happy to seat you, while walking me to the table a simple. This table is reserved by another party for 6pm so you will need to vacate it by then. I think that will work, does that work for you?

We decided to come to the restaurant because it'll be closing this year. Unfortunately for being our last meal at this restaurant, our experience wasn't memorable and the prices are still too high for what you get. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich. It was ok, too sweet for my taste. The kiwi lemonade didn't taste like kiwi, tasted like sugar water.Good bye Beaches I hope a better restaurant replaces you.

Overall: Stunning view and that's all.Location: It's in a shared plaza with McMenamins and other businesses but with plenty of parking spaces. Food: We ordered both the short ribs, meat pizza and the fish and chips. I personally can't review the short ribs since I didn't try it but what I can say is the fish and chips were more batter than actual fish. The pizza was a fair size but wasn't anything special. Service: I asked the waitress if there were any sauces that she would recommend which she said she likes that tartar sauce. Since my parents aren't fans of that, I asked her if she can provide a sample of that and a few others. When we received the bill, it was apparently 50 cents each! If she had communicated that to me, I wouldn't have asked for that. Yes, it's a small amount but it's the principal of not letting me know beforehand. This is the main reason for the low rating.

The food delicious, Thai tuna was amazing. The service excellent. We sat outside, wonderful view of the Volumbia River. I strongly recomand this place.

the food is very tasty, I couldn't tear myself away! we will definitely come again! the staff is very friendly top notch service. the ambience is calm, pleasant. you can have a good time
