We stopped here for dinner after a long day of traveling around the area. They are conveniently located on the bay front in downtown Newport in a comfy, unpretentious but nice spot. The service was quick and friendly. The food was great - we expected your average fish and chips, but got a lot better than that. My hubby had... more

The dishes' flavor made it evident that all ingredients from seafood to herbs were the freshest possible. I think the crab soup is arguably the best I've ever eaten, even dominating crab-laden versions from Alaska. Likewise, the fish tacos ranked high in my book with the perfect level of spiciness that complemented without overwhelming the fish's taste. more

I've had some of the best fish and chips here, but I'm always afraid to try something new on the menu. i tried one of my friends razor clams and it was just chewy and tasteless. and the coconut prawns weren't that good for the price i can make them better myself. so if you want expensive fish and chips... more

If this place was located in a better building it would be a solid five across. The panko breaded ling cod was over the top good, served on a nice fresh vinaigrette slaw with crispy fries, well garnished on attractive plates, this place has a lot going on, and the crab soup is sublime. Beer selection is OK with Rogue... more

Ok, I'll admit upfront that I am not a seafood fan. But I do go to Local Ocean from time to time with seafood-loving friends. Everyone I go there with raves about the seafood, but I can say my love is their hamburger. It is AMAZING--best in the area! The restaurant is small, but has a great view of the... more

When you drive along the port in Newport, don't be surprised to see a line formed in front of Local Ocean. It's a very popular restaurant. The panko crusted cod was the only fish we found in Oregon which was not deep fried. It was beyond delicious. I had the crab cakes which were not as good so I talked... more

While on the docks of Newport we asked some fishermen for a ood lunch spot. They all said Local Ocean Seafoods. We had the fish soup and clam chowder. Both were excellent. more

They were selling tuna off the boat on the bayfront, so I got tuna at Local Ocean: albacore, their kabobs. It was the juiciest, best tuna I have ever had. Even though the kabob sauce was too sweet for my liking, it didn't matter. It was just so fresh, it was unmistakably superior. I order fresh seafood whenever possible, but... more

Loved it. Not much of a line at 1 pm, and I got a seat at the counter next to the open kitchen. It's small but there's lots of seating in & out. The wait staff was stretched a little thin but was still friendly and competent. As busy as it was, I was never hurried nor did I have... more
