Cannon Beach and Corvallis Restaurants
We will be in Cannon Beach and Corvallis next week. Where, in these towns, can be find a healthy dinner at a restaurant with entrees mostly under $20?
We like a place where we can relax with a bottle of wine and that features seafood (or Thai, Chinese, Korean, or Japanese food).
We wanted to eat at the Gower Street Bistro in Cannon Beach, but when I called to make a reservation, I got the message that the restaurant has closed and will be reopening with a new format in February. We do not want to drive to Seaside.

I would opt for the Wayfarer right next door to Gower St. Bistro. Good food, healthy options, and nice views.
For Corvallis, our must stop is always Woodstocks Pizza. I know you asked for healthy, but you can do a veggie one or something.

Oops, posted too soon. I realize that Woodstocks may not be what you had in mind for atmosphere, but I thought I would toss out the suggestion. You can drink your way around the world there at Suds n Suds though

Thanks.
We used to always eat at the Wayfarer, but the last time we were there we were seated next to a family so noisy that we walked out and went to the nearby Gower Street Bistro--which was excellent. Maybe we'll give the Wayfarer another try.

HTTY--We have eaten at the Wayfarer a number of times and it has always been pleasant. So I hope your experience was a fluke. If you try it again, let us know how it goes. BTW, I thought of another place in Corvallis...Marzini's. I think it is more what you are looking for.

We really like Newman's @ 988, it is a small, intimate venue with fantastic food and service. Really yummy Pot de Creme here which I see is back on their menu again. Bistro in downtown Cannon Beach is also very good, love their Greek Lemon Soup here. Have fun! ***kim***

I'm kinda with you, happytrails; with Gower St. Bistro now closed, not sure where to go. As was said, Newman's doesn't fit the bill cost-wise, and though I like it, it's hard to get excited about Wayfarer's. There are a couple newer places in town I haven't tried yet. If you find one you like, please report back.
Off the wall suggestion: maybe not this visit, but one of these times, book a "class" at EVOO, the small cooking school/kitchen shop in town. The chef/instructor there might be the best around.

We ended up at the Wayfarer, which was great. The crowd was small, so we got great attention from our waiter.
I had the Pacific snapper, which they do beautifully, and served with fresh vegetables-- lovely green beans and butternut squash.
It turns out we didn't go to Corvallis. Instead, we went to Newport, where the temperature his 63 F. on Thursday.
< =D> 
Yeah, it was warmer on the coast than over here the other day, by about 20 degrees. Never mind your Newport weather would have been a good day even in the summer.

We've always had both excellent food and service at Wayfarer. They do sometimes have large family groups in there that could be a little loud. A trick for that - ask to sit in the booths at the back of the restaurant. You may think you won't have a great view, but it's actually wonderful. It's elevated up a step, and the view is terrific.
Another place we have had good meals is Warren House - on the south end of town across from Tolovana. It's small and doesn't good food, at reasonable prices. I believe most entrees are under $20.00.
