The service was top-notch and the food served hot and savory. I got the Sautéed Prawns with seasonal vegetables. The vegetables were sooooo good. I have never had steamed vegetables that tasted like theirs. I would recommend changing the sauce for the prawns, but it was still excellent taste.
My wife got the ribeye steak with a baked potato, which was cooked excellently.
To top it off we had a cup of clam chowder and fried calamari. The flavor from all of the dishes is some of the best I’ve had. I would recommend any day of the week for those looking for a great date night.

Enjoyed the crab dip appetizer and the clam chowder bread bowls, would easily get both again! Tasty cocktails, too.

We had lunch outside and really enjoyed the heated deck and the pumpkin carving contest! I appreciate that they have more than one vegetarian option on the menu. The Mediterranean pita was very good. My seafood eating partner said the steamed clams and clam chowder were great too.

It was so delicious, they sat us in less than 15mins and we sat outside. The food came out quickly and I had the clam chowder it was so fresh and cooked perfectly.

I never leave negative reviews, or any reviews for that matter. But my recent visit to Driftwood Restaurant was extremely disappointing — and concerning.
I ordered the baked lemon salmon and calamari, while my girlfriend had the salmon pasta. The dishes looked fine at first glance, but the flavor was underwhelming and the seafood didn’t taste particularly fresh. Unfortunately, the worst part came a few hours later: about three hours after dinner, I became violently ill. I’ll spare the details, but it was clear my body rejected the meal completely.
After a few days, I got in touch with the manager and she took care of the problem in a professional manner. The food, customer service, and atmosphere is great. I just had an unlucky visit, but would go back again.

This was one of my favorite meals from our vacation to the Pacific Northwest. We were in Cannon Beach for a couple days in August and came here for dinner on a Monday night.
We sat at the bar and were promptly greeted by the bartender. He provided menus and gave a few minutes to decide on drinks and meals.
We shared the Dungeness crab cocktail appetizer and each ordered meals. I had the lemon caper baked salmon and it was very good. The menu says it comes on a bed of onions and I wasn’t sure how that was going to be but it was very small chopped onion and with the dill sauce on top of that it was delicious. I opted for the side of vegetables and it was a generous portion and they were perfectly cooked.
Our bartender was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was casual and easygoing. The lighting was a bit dim but I felt that made it a little more rustic cabin feeling instead of dark dungeon. The place was somewhat full that evening but it wasn’t loud. Prices were comparable to similar seafood restaurants we have been to.
We walked from our hotel but I think there is a parking lot if I remember correctly.
This was a very good dinner.

We were quickly seated in the lounge area on a busy day, which we very much appreciated. Service has been very friendly. The lighting is a bit dim and could be improved. The food is excellent, including the salmon Caesar salad, roast beef sandwich, fish sandwich, crab dip, clam chowder.
