Every so often, that itch for deliciously fresh coastal seafood creeps in and I know I have to satisfy it properly. Redfish in Port Orford, Oregon, is the type of place where not only will you be able to feast on fresh, local ingredients but you'll also have panoramic views of the stunning Oregon coast. It doesn't get much better than this dining experience right here.

Let's start with the location and overall atmosphere of Redfish. Perched right on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, this restaurant offers panoramic views of the water and Port Orford's Battle Rock. The setting provides a relaxed yet elegant ambiance, making it ideal for everything from casual lunches to date-night dinners. The large windows and outdoor seating allow guests to enjoy the scenic coastline in a truly magical way.

Of course, what would a restaurant be without a stellar menu? Redfish focuses on seasonal and locally sourced ingredients, often featuring seafood caught from the nearby waters. The menu showcases a blend of classic and modern American dishes, often with a French-inspired twist. You can expect dishes like fresh fish, crab cakes, clam chowder, and local steamer clams paired with fresh produce.

Redfish takes pride in sourcing its ingredients locally and sustainably, supporting local farmers, fishers, and producers. The restaurant emphasizes the importance of using organic and sustainably harvested products whenever possible. The menu tends to change with the seasons, especially as fresh produce and seafood become available. Visiting in different seasons might offer you the chance to explore new dishes and flavors!

What pairs better with panoramic views of the rolling waves? Cocktails, of course. Whether you're enjoying a cocktail at sunset or savoring a brunch Bloody Mary, you're almost guaranteed to have views unlike any other. Redfish also has a well-curated wine list featuring Oregon wines and a full bar as well.

Plus, there is a Happy hour daily from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. with $2 off all tap beer and appetizer discounts!

We also mentioned brunch, so make sure if you're a weekend food fiend, you visit Saturday and Sunday for some epic offerings. Featured above is the California Eggs Benedict with fresh avocado, tomato, and sautéed Spinach, drenched in a Mornay sauce!
