    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!

    This restaurant has breathtaking views of the beach and Haystack Rock. The food was excellent and our server Jeremy was professional, caring, and kind. The Wayfarer will be first on our list whenever we come to Cannon Beach.

    The service was fantastic. Our server, Alexandra, made sure we had everything we needed, helped us navigate the menu for a gluten allergy, and gave some great recommendations. Our food was absolutely delicious, and the views of Haystack Rock while dining are spectacular! We will come back!

    I think the drinks were the worst I’ve ever had. We tried 2 different specialty and each were terrible. The food was mediocre at best. Ran out of the dish my husband ordered and took 30 minutes to tell us this for him to pick another item. Service was subpar. Everything was a disappointment except the view. The view and location, you can’t beat. The prices are in line with what I would expect for the location; however, not with the poor quality we were given.

    Wait staff were good. However, food less than desirable for the price. My filet mignon was supposed to be medium rare---but it came to the table "medium" plus was dry with no juice. I was hungry so didn't bother to have chef make a new one. My husband had the pork with marionberry sauce. Tast was OK but meat was very fatty. Although view of Haystack Rock is nice, food is overpriced for what you get. We will not return.
