The Drift Inn Hotel and Restaurant

I guess sometimes there is a wait to get in, but we were lucky. We came at 7:30 pm, no wait. Sat in their beautiful patio. It is so cozy and warm. Wooden tables, greenery, palm fans, heaters, and live music in the back ground. The owners are gluten-free, so they have a delicious blend of their own homemade breads, dressing, and tartar sauce. The best I have ever had. Their fish and chicken batter is the bomb!. We sharded the Crabs cakes, which were so very yummy. And the Hailbit fish and chips. Definitely enough for 2 to share. Comes with a little green salad. The fish was devoured! So good. They make their own desserts, so many to choose from. We went with the Rum Chocolate Moose, so velvety smooth and rich. What a wonderful birthday to me! We actually came back for lunch the next, on our way back to Washington. Walkability: So close to town. Easy to walk to everything. Food & drinks: Fantastic menu

We had a really nice lunch in the restaurant. Cobb Salad with grilled chicken and ice tea. Great food, atmosphere, and service. We didn't stay in the hotel, I live right up the street. Nearby activities: Siuslaw National Forest and all it's trails.

I didnt need a big dinner so I ordered the crab cakes and jalapeo poppers. The cakes were child and the bacon was not hardly cooked on the poppers. I sent them both back as it was very disappointing. Cakes came back tepid parts of the bacon was cooked. I was so dissatisfied that I didnt finish either. $50 later.. I left unsatisfied. I didnt even purchase my swag because I was offended to spend that much money on virtually nothing. Our waitress was nice, but didnt offer any discount or other options for me. EDIT: A 20% gratuity was automatically added to my bill. No choice! I was so put off I forgot to take a photo of my food, so I included the receipt. And, the seafood chowder my friend ordered was also tepid and not up to par. Also, I ordered a double Jameson neat but clearly was served a single.
