Neah-Kah-Nie Bistro

Always a pleasure getting to dine in this cozy bistro. Quiet setting, beyond excellent food (crab risotto, sauteed oysters, mushroom ravioli, and true cod)

Amazing restaurant! Quaint and delicious. The waiter/host was top notch! The chef was on point! The drinks and food were fantastic!

Honestly, there is no better place to have a fantastic meal and experience in this area of the Oregon coast. My wife and I are semi-frequent patrons and we have always been extremely pleased with every aspect of our visits.

The food is absolutely fantastic, and specials should always be considered if offered. Drinks are amazing as well. You don’t even need to order off the menu. If you have a vague idea in mind as to what you would want, they can most times come up with something special and delicious.

The price is commensurate with the quality of food and service. You will definitely pay more than just about any other restaurant in the area, but I will gladly pay that time and time again for both the food and drinks, but to also support a local business.

RESERVATIONS!!! Always always have reservations. I have seen countless people walk in (even during the off-season) and be turned away because they are fully booked for the evening.

Spectacularly flavored food. Every bite of the grilled oysters was a party in my mouth. Excellent service - perfectly paced with dish delivery, which we were pleasantly surprised by in such a small town. We have had much more clueless service in big cities. This place is a gem. Will definitely be back.

We planned a recent trip to Manzanita on short notice, but were lucky to get reservations at Neahkahnie Bistro. The food, service, and everything about the restaurant was excellent. Glad they survived the pandemic, since so many small businesses in town didn’t survive. Will definitely be back on our next visit to the coast.

We absolutely loved everything about this restaurant! It’s a gem in small beach town of Manzanita. Our dinner was outstanding! We recommend to everyone to make reservations and try delicious food. We are from Seattle and like to try different restaurants. We know what good food is. The place is tastefully decorated and cozy. They even have covered outdoor sitting area. Everyone was very friendly, we felt welcome and the owner personally checked on us. Thank you for the great experience! We definitely will be back when visiting Oregon coast.

We went with a group of 4 for a walk in. We were greeted with friendly staff, and were seated immediately.

I ordered a Manhattan which was delicious, my friend got a “bartender’s choice” vodka drink which he loved, and my partner and other friend shared a bottle of wine.

I had the Mushroom Ravioli and added fresh crab. Oh my god. Absolutely delicious. It came in a lemony, buttery, creamy sauce and I could have eaten no less than 5 helpings haha.

My friends had the Cod which they said was delicious and my friend asked for a dinner-sized crab risotto and they all loved it.

The server is absolutely hilarious and super friendly. He is very attentive and your drinks are always full. For such a small staff, service is quick and very good.

When we come back, we will definitely visit again and so should you!

Dinner was absolutely incredible tonight! My husband and I had a rare date weekend and made a reservation here for dinner. We shared a wedge salad and also shared the ribeye and cod to have a little surf and turf. The salad was wonderful, the lemon butter sauce on the cod was to die for and the cook on the ribeye was a perfect medium rare with a nice char flavor. We both agreed it’s the best date night dinner out we have had in our 11 years together.

Wow! What an awesome experience! This was a one man show tonight And we were so impressed on how smoothly everything went. Beautiful wine list, and the food was exceptional as well as the service. We had the whipped ricotta appetizer, as well as the coconut prawns. Both were fabulous starters and delicious. For our main dish I had the true cod, and my husband had the shrimp pasta . I don’t even know how to explain how delicious the food was. I was so stuffed but I couldn’t quit eating it. Exceptional! And for dessert we had a cheesecake with caramel and toasted coconut. It was not too sweet, actually pretty light and delicious. Needless to say we cleaned our plates! Really loved everything about this place and hope to return soon.

Lovely ambiance, insanely excellent food, friendly staff.

I had the crab risotto tonight, and let me tell you, it was hands down one of the best meals I've ever had. All the different flavors complimented each other excellently, and the crab was cooked perfectly.

I look forward to the next time I'm in this area of the coast to come eat here again.

“Holy smokes” “wow” “omg” are some of the things I heard my friends say as they tasted the delicious dishes our wonderful server brought.
Must return!!!

I can’t recommend this place enough. We had the filet mignon with crab and the cod and they were in the top meals we have ever had. The presentation, the flavor and how it was prepared, and top it off with incredible desserts. By far a must visit. Reservations required and they are usually booked out several days. Plan ahead for the best dinner of your visit!

Wow. Amazing fimd in a small town. Reservatioms required but you will not regret it. Chef is amazing and what you would expect in an expensive fancy restraunt...but not the cost. Go here now !!!

Fabulous and outstanding in every level. The food was truly remarkable. Service was great.

High quality, high end food perfect for your next cozy celebration. Good coconut prawn small plate! Photos are of the risotto and green beans. Reservations recommended.

Manzanita offers few options for fine dining, and Neah-Kah-Nie Bistro stands out as one of the best. The ambiance is both serene and intimate, making it a perfect choice for a quiet evening. While the menu may be somewhat limited in terms of options, it more than compensates with exceptional quality. Moreover, the restaurant boasts a well-stocked bar and an impressive wine list, ensuring there's something to please every palate. I wholeheartedly recommend Neah-Kah-Nie Bistro for anyone seeking a delightful dining experience in Manzanita, whether for a special occasion or a memorable night out.

The cod was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Everything was so good, the server’s recommended wine pairing was spot on, and the place was super cute inside. We loved our experience there!

The food and service here are really top quality. Every part of our dinner including our drinks appetizer entree and dessert were fantastic. We called in about a last minute reservation and they were able and willing to accommodate us. Our server was fantastic but other servers also kept an ear out to make sure that we were pleased. I cannot recommend this place enough

We went here to celebrate two birthdays, our waitress and the food were awesome. The only thing I would say is prepare and give yourself a good amount of time for dinner. Our reservations were at 8pm and we were there until 10pm, and we didn’t even have dessert! We had such a great time and we sat outdoors because the weather was so nice, it was a great place to go and the food was amazing.

Neah-Kah-Nie Bistro looks awesome, has great music and atmosphere, requires reservations and the food is the best in Manzanita. We had Roasted Garlic & Whipped Feta (the feta was very, very good), Crab Risotto (good), Calamari & Fries (the spicy sauce was the highlight), 14 Spice Chicken (very good) and Prawn Pasta (we all loved it the most). We would definitely recommend splurging and dining here.
