Beachfront Bistro

First night in Brookings and noticed that the Bistro was right across from where we were staying. Plus, it had an oceanview, so we decided to walk over. Great food and service. We started with blood orange margaritas and clams in white sauce. The drinks were tasty and very strong, and the clam appetizer was delicious. For our entrees, I ordered the half rack of lamb, and hubby ordered the bacon wrapped abalone. Both came with rice pilaf, grilled vegs, and a chicken tomato soap. The food was amazing. The portions were large enough to have leftovers for dinner the next night. We also took dessert home, bread pudding, and the flour less chocolate cake. Both were very tasty. The oceanview inspired us to take a walk along the beach afterward. What a great evening.

We found this place tucked away past our normal stops in Brookings. The staff were very friendly and there was plenty of seating, although we were there around 1, so a little after lunch. The service was egg efficient and thorough. The food was good. I had the clam chowder and while it was not the best in Brookings it was still very enjoyable. My son had the lunch salmon carbonara and it was very tasty. My daughter had the Asian Shrimp Salad and it was fantastic! It sounded like they can be pretty busy around dinner time. We would go back next time we're in town.

My last night of vacation I was looking for a really nice meal as a closure to the trip. Beachfront Bistro delivered in spades! I ordered the Vegetable Beef Soup and was delighted with the most excellent quality and melding of flavors. The Garlic Shrimp and Grilled Veggies were done to perfection. Seldom have I been to any restaurant and had every course be absolutely perfect in every way. If you are in Brookings, CA do yourself a favor and go relax and have an excellent meal at this wonderful restaurant!

Our party of 4 ate here between lunch and dinner. It was not busy (given the hour we dined this was not unusual). The food was excellent and so was the service. Two of us had the French Dip special, one had fish tacos and I the grilled chicken pesto sandwich. The chicken was perfectly grilled, the tomatoes and spinach were fresh and the pesto delicious.

We were staying across the street and went in for an early dinner. He got the salmon special and I had the pasta with chicken in a cream sauce ( I forgot the name) the food was great, the service was good, the only downfall was the restaurant was too hot for my liking, and the long black hair in my bread basket.
