HERE'S WHY IT'S WORTH 5 out of 5: Absolutely fIrst-rate French & Italian food. Fresh, top quality with an eye to detail on execution. Crab cakes that are pretty much 100% crab! Not loaded with fillers. Light, delicate and flavorful. Polenta with wild mushrooms that had some of the best mouth-feel ever. Crispy golden brown on the bottom and rich... More

My Husband and I took a mini break to Arch Cape/Cannon Beach and had made a reservation for a Thursday night at Newmans at 988. Newmans at 988 looks so tiny from the outside, but once you walk through the doors, you find that it is an intimate restaurant filled with amazing service and food that is filled with amazing...

A very small restaurant so reservations are recommended. Atmosphere is relaxing, staff is very friendly, food was awesome. They are expensive (a meal for 3 with a bottle of wine was over $200.00) - but for a special occasion, or just an excellent meal it is worth every penny. Crab cakes are a must have, as is the duck breast... More

If you read my hit and miss review, I must say that the owners of Newmans at 988 are first rate. They saw the review and instantly sent me an apology and a full refund of the meal.

Food was excellent as was the waitstaff. Lobster ravioli was a wonder start, the salmon and halibut done perfectly. It was our 30th anniversary and it couldn't have been more perfect. Thank you John and Wendy!

BUT.... our entree was awful. Not just so-so. Really not very good. Hubby ordered chicken piccata to split with me (I really wanted the salmon special....I mean, why order just a... More

We were looking for a new place to have a nice dinner in Cannon Beach and we read the Yelp reviews. We found it to be every bit as good as reviewed. I had the four course chef dinner: a rich tomato bisque with goat cheese, a peppery arugula and garlic shoot salad and a french inspired duck breast and... More

I've have eaten at Newman's many times and have reviewed it here each time and it's becoming redundant. The food is good and so is the service and it has been each time as it was again this evening. I had rack of lamb and my wife had her favorite, the lobster ravioli plus a salad that she has always... More

The looks of the restaurant are deceiving but once inside you'll be pleasantly surprised. The food is delicious! Try the crab cakes they are worth every penny.
