My husband had the special, which was a braised lamb shank. The presentation was great, and he said it was amazing. I had the rock fish, and it usually is a nice piece of fish, but this was small, tiny pieces of fish and way too much seasoning on it. Luckily for me, I was not very hungry. I was very disappointed being my birthday dinner and all. We will be back. It's still a good local place.

Eugene

About the restaurant

Marché has been at the heart of the Willamette Valley's restaurant scene for more than 25 years– picking up honors from the James Beard Foundation and accolades from the national press along the way. We are most proud of our place in the community, whether it's as a regular lunch spot, a special-occasion date night, a family celebration or a place to gather with friends. We take our name from the French word for market — describing not only our location in Eugene, Oregon’s bustling 5th Street Market, but also our philosophy focused on fresh, seasonal, and local farmer's market fare. Inspired by French technique and committed to using only those ingredients that are at their best, our menu evolves as we move through the seasons.

We serve lunch daily in our Parisian-inspired bar, brunch on weekends and dinner seven days a week. In warm weather, our patio is a sunny place to relax with a glass of rosé, surrounded by our herb garden.

About the restaurant

The restaurant is an old cannery and has been converted beautifully. Large planking floors, high ceilings and a gorgeous selection of wines and spirits displayed everywhere. Enjoy NW Bistro inspired fare from our scratch kitchen with a dynamic, breathtaking 270 degree waterfront views from the main floor or mezzanine levels.

We were passing through Astoria on our way to Cannon Beach and found this gem! Previously a cannery that was renovated to a high end restaurant. Perfect location with wonderful views. The food was fresh and delicious. My husband said the best fish and chips he’s ever had. I loved my salad and albacore tuna sandwich. Wish they were located in Cannon Beach, so we could enjoy again while on our vacation. Our server was friendly and attentive. The hostess was also friendly and welcoming. I left my hat behind and the hostess found me on my way out to return. Best restaurant we’ve been to so far in Oregon. Highly recommend!

About the restaurant

Locally sourced and seasonally inspired, Tavern on Kruse changes menus every 12 weeks as we weave the season's perfectly-fresh and perfectly ripe bounty into our offerings. Our executive chef, Nathan Bates, spent four and half years at the Michelin 3-Star "Fifth Floor" in San Francisco. Our space is elegant, but our staff is friendly and jovial as we see "people" as the reason for dining. We look forward to meeting you.

My first time at this location. The food was very fresh and tasty. We sat outside, but the interior of the restaurant seemed very nice. Our server was very pleasant but several times mixed up food or drink deliveries to our table of six. I enjoyed the beet salad and also had a taste of the Cubano sandwich. Both were very tasty. Overall, it was a great experience and I will probably go back there again.
