   Place was closed. I was able to make a reservation since nothing ever referenced it being closed. They even confirmed the reservation, but when we showed up, it was dark and locked. Apple Maps even showed them being open. This should be fixed. Wasted trip.

   I made a reservation and when I went to the restaurant, it was completely closed. No notice, no notification whatsoever.

   We have loved Neahkahnie Bistro on so many occasions in the past. However, we have now made reservations multiple times, confirmed the reservations, and arrived in Manzanita to find the Bistro CLOSED. No warning, no call, no message. I attempted this time to call, message, reach out to confirm, as we have been burned in the past, but could not reach anyone. We decided to try one more time and...dark and closed when we arrived. Eisha is a talented chef and we would love to support Neahkahnie Bistro, but never again. Please, oh please, just remove this restaurant from Open Table, as people think they are making reservations for a dinner they will not have. We chatted with locals in Manzanita and it is not uncommon for Neahkahnie Bistro to be closed without warning, yet "reservations required."

   Food was very good. However, the owner was the only one working on New Year’s Eve. He was the greeter, server, cook and busboy. As a result the entree was delayed over an hour and 20 minutes. We had to wait 20 minutes to get a glass of wine and 40 minutes for a salad. The delay contributed to a negative experience. Once we finally received the food we enjoyed it.

   Great Dining experience! Not a good place if you're in a hurry but, if you want a relaxing, delicious meal,, this is perfect. The food and the preparation were amazing!

   After reading the reviews, we had high expectations, but we were disappointed. They had only one person doing everything (waiting, busing, cooking). I'm sure he did his best but came up short. We started with the coconut shrimp which were small over battered and overcooked. The salad was okay, but not exceptional. Then we waited thirty-five minutes for the entre. When it did arrive, we noticed that the other table got theirs at the same time which was odd since we were a half hour ahead of them. For the main course, I had the scallops. They were served on a cold plate which meant that halfway thru the meal the risotto was cold. The scallops were not nicely browned, but just warm and flavorless. And the abductor muscle was not removed. The asparagus was terrible, small, pale, and overcooked. Karin chose the ravioli which were okay but smothered in a very rich sauce which made them hard to find. Maybe we hit the place on a bad night, but the next time we decide to go out for "fine dining" we will look elsewhere. Doug and Karin

   We made a reservation weeks in advance via Open Table for 8 pm on 11/27, confirmed through the app and arrived at the restaurant and the lights were off and no one there. Zero communication.

    the ONLY reason for this rating is that it was CLOSED that night! Open Table confirmed the reservation. Our evening was ruined.It would be really nice if someone would respond.
