   Ocean view and Cannon beach. Doesn’t get any better than this. Food prepared to perfection. Don’t miss out on the best crab cakes in town!

   A major disappointment. We had great service but the food quality was way less than expected. Halibut was dry; risotto was fine. The salmon was said to be fresh king from Columbia River but was dry, way over cooked and tasted freezer burned. Worse salmon I have had. The beans served with it were totally tasteless. An expensive dinner for the quality.

   Beautiful place and fantastic food! We celebrated our anniversary and had an amazing view of Haystack Rock! Great service the whole time we were there!

   Food was poor for the price. Halibut was under salted, risotto was fine but couldn’t save the dish. Shrimp Louis was only average too. $37 for fish and chips is insane.

   Our server was warm and friendly, and the food was very good. We find the Wayfarer to be consistently good year after year. The staff is the best—always friendly and welcoming. The crab bake is always a highlight.

   Went for my birthday dinner. We had a great view of haystack rock and the service and food were amazing. I had the crab bake which was loaded with clams, prawns and Dungeness crab with a glass of Oregon Pinot Noir. My husband had the pork dish and he said it was really good as well. Finished with probably the best dessert I’ve ever had, the Haystack Heaven, delicious! This is a great restaurant with amazing food and very attentive service, will absolutely return next time we’re in town.

    Our first visit two nights before was so good we decided to go back for our final night in Cannon Beach. Crab bake and Crispy pork shoulder both outstanding. As we continue to celebrate over 50 years of marriage, we Finished off with Crème brûlée which was as delicious as the first night. Service both nights was so pleasant and friendly, our dinners were served on Happy Anniversary plates. Highly recommend! Besides that the views are amazing too!
