The Boardwalk

Every year, a large group of ham operators meet at your restaurant for a dinner. Each year the menu seems to get smaller. This year, there were 17 of us and we had a reservation on a Saturday. We were handed the menu’s and found only about 7 entrees. As we ordered, we were told they were out of 2 of the 7 entrees. I was the first to order and I ordered vegetarian lasagna and then they were out of that. After the rest ordered, we were told they were also out of bread. Who runs a business this way? The food is overpriced and the lasagna was too spicy. The only reason I gave it one star was because our server did fine and I could tell she was embarrassed to be out of so many things. We have been meeting here for at least 15 years but we will not be back again. Epic fail Boardwalk!

I am not sure how the food is since we never received our order. We were seated right away since they were not busy at a table facing the ocean which was great. After 15 minutes the waitress came over to take our order. We waited almost 45 minutes for our food while all the tables around us received their’s that they ordered after us. We decided to leave and walked to the front counter where our waitress greeted us and told us someone would be right with us. We reminded her that we were in her section and we were leaving because we still hadn’t received our food after 45 minutes. She didn’t seem interested in the situation at all. One table next to us had to ask for their check three times before someone finally brought it. It is obvious that their service is terrible.

I always forget how terrible service is here… Which is unfortunate because the views are fantastic, and food is decent. Most definitely over priced that is for sure. But some reason I keep returning and now I’m not so sure why. I’ve had better service at pig n pancake for god sake … I will never come back after that experience, ended up sitting down and it took about 8 min before I moved to a different section where waiters obviously we’re working and semi paying attention to their customers. No one acknowledge me, and even after moving it took another 5min just to get a water. Then again, the prices for the portions are outrageous. I guess that’s part of the tourist trap at the beach. By far worst experience yet. For an ideal place location and view wise the service is sure a joke. I’m embarrassed that I’ve sent people from my hotel in the city here when they visit seaside, no wonder I never heard good or any feedback at all from them. I will no longer ever recommend this place nor go here myself, anymore. You guys seriously are horrendous with your service and should be ashamed.

Really nice restaurant/​bar. We came here for a birthday dinner. It was right next door to our resort. They had high quality tables, beautiful ocean front view, and great service and food! It was also the only place that served food pretty late too. It seems like everything in seaside closes at 9pm. This was a great dinner and we will be back here next time we are in seaside. It is definitely my favorite choice now out of all the places we went out to eat.

Visiting from San Francisco, California. I was told about Seaside. The view from the beach of this restaurant. I walked in for Happy Hour. Our waiter name Brian was awesome and cool. If I ever come back to Oregon and to Seaside and eat at Shilo Inn /​Restaurant — The Boardwalk.

Awesome view and Ambiance…
AND Excellent service by Brian… guarantees a return visit and nod… thx you.

Dave was our server today and he MADE our trip! We came in on a win to get out of the rain and were so glad we did :) Dave was not oy prompt and efficient, but he did a great job of recommending food/​beverages, and even crouching down to talk to the little ones. Would recommend!

Cocktails were great. Chowder was great. The seafood platter was horrible. Food in general is bad. Service was annoying always bothering you. Doesn’t serve breakfast. Not open till 3. closes way to early

Restaurant is quiet and peaceful. Good song and ambience with great ocean view. Food is okay and would give it 3 star. Ambience is good making this a 4 star restaurant

First time in the restaurant since the Seasider was torn down and rebuilt as the Shilo about 40 years ago.
We wanted breakfast with a view and our tableside window delivered!
It overlooked the promenade, Lewis and Clark’s famous end of the trail «The turnaround» and that glorious Seaside beach!
The brief menu had your basic classic breakfast items such as pancakes, omelets and skillet scrambles plus breakfast burritos and eggs Benedict. You can add crab or shrimp to most entrée items!
I opted for the «Classic» Bacon and eggs cooked over easy with hash browns and english muffin. The 2 large eggs were prepared perfectly, solid whites and runny yolks, the basic hash browns (small portion, disappointing to me that there were no onions, but had the right amount of crisp to their surface, perfect for adding black pepper and mixing all together!
The 2 small slices of bacon were fresh fried, hot, crispy and not overdone.
To give this review that fifth star I would expect 3 pieces instead of 2 because it disappeared leaving me wanting at least 1 more slice!
The english muffin was very lightly toasted and slathered in butter. The basket of Smuckers jam & jelly on the table had been depleted down to 2 packs of no sugar grape and one lonely little pack of regular jam but, it was my favorite flavor, raspberry!
Prices were reasonable when you consider the sensational view and attentive service.
Our next visit will be soon for the bar’s happy hour, I understand it is outstanding!

Love coming to seaside and enjoy the lounge at the Boardwalk. Thank you Brian, its always a pleasure coming in and enjoying wine and appetizers. Your a great server and we’ve had many great servers here. Keep up the great service and smiles.

Food– tasty burger and yummy garlic fries. ⁸⁄₁₀. View– ¹⁰⁄₁₀. Service ¹⁰⁄₁₀. The best part about The Boardwalk was our waiter, Dave. His service was genuine and warm without over doing it. Very attentive and left us super satisfied. I recommend asking for Dave! Very relaxing atmosphere. Do it.

5 stars on our waitress Ashley. M! She was so awesome, told us about the whales out in the ocean which we have never seen before!
4 stars on the price compared to food quantity. But eating on the ocean at sunset was awesome.

Ordered the Bistro Steak & Frites. The steak was cooked to order and was tender with a great flavor. The view was great. The hostess didn’t know there settable open by the window, we found it ourselves. The service was terrible. She was friendly, but so slow. Promised bread and brought it moments before the meal, and after the appetizer. Had to ask for my wine that I saw just sitting at the bar waiting to be served. I would go back for the food and view, but only if I get a different waitress.

We had our anniversary dinner here. Our server was Anthony and he was great.
–Service was good.
–Time in waiting for food was adequate
–The food was very good. My wife got a seafood pasta dish, it was packed full of flavors that blended perfectly and wasn’t overwhelming.
–I got the crab legs that cost $ 34, but they were huge.
–They do have live music some nights.
–Dessert was delicious! The cake was so good!
Overall I would go there again. No complaints and nothing but positive things to say!

They have 2 Unilocal accounts!!! The other is clearly filled with positive fake reviews to trick you. Would never have ate here if I saw this profile. Our service was awful, food was awful, and they were out of everything! To top it off it’s extremely expensive. Stay away!!!

Ashley and chef Stephen were awesome. Ashley was so personable and Stephen was accommodating when we asked for quac with our nachos even though they don’t make it they made an exception. Great service quick and friendly. We also want to give a shout out to the bartender he moved the t.v. around so we could watch the hawks lightning game with the kids.

What a great view and the king crab was amazing! Service was great as well. If you can get a window seat at sunset you are in for a treat.
The teriyaki steak appetizers were delicious and the main course was heaven. The best thing about crab is that it is dinner AND dessert!
Margaritas were yummy as well.

Its a bar inside the Shilo. Your views are incredible! you pay for that. the food is on the higher side but not bad.
We decided on a late afternoon run to the coast for dinner on a Friday night. the weather was great! there were hundreds of people on the beach, and the sunset was spectacular. We could not have asked for a better April night in Seaside.
We decided on the Shilo as it has the best view, bar none, on the prom. We were seated in the window, how cool is that!
The salads were pleasant, Calamari was good, the chicken was a bit dry, and the mashed potato’s were not as expected, but once I took in the view I did not care. I had my bride, my beer, and my view, what else can a guy need?

I saw the three star rating and thought to myself, eh, it’s probably not that bad.
Alas, I left thinking it was VERY three star. The food was fine, but overpriced. The wine selection was small (and I ended up with a pretty gross pinot), but the staff was helpful.
It’s as three star as three star can be.
