I don't know what holds my attention longer: the view at Battle Rock overlooking Redfish Rocks Marine Reserve, the food at the newly opened Redfish Restaurant, or the exquisite Hawthorne Gallery next door to the restaurant. These are Port Orford's premiere destinations, great view, superb food, outstanding art.
The young man on the motorcycle is Chris Hawthorne. He, his wife Julie, their children, sisters and brothers are all artists, in different media. Their work is featured in many museums and galleries.
When they opened Redfish Restaurant, named after the Redfish Marine Reserve you can see by sitting on the patio above, Port Orford received an additional jewel, an enticing and well appointed restaurant with world-class pedigree. We ate lunch here today, delightfully constructed salads with grilled salmon for hubby and chicken for me, freshly baked bread, delicious wine, and a view unequaled anywhere.
WE don't have to leave home to have great food anymore.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful...How lucky are you to have such a great place so close to home.
ReplyDeleteIt's the fresh baked bread that I can't get out of my mind...but the view is nice too!
nice. the view, the food, the sculptures.
ReplyDeleteThe view is wonderful. Having two other things to enjoy is great too.
ReplyDeleteThe view is magnificent and the food sounds delectable. Lucky you.
ReplyDeleteThe top picture presents an amazing view. And thanks for telling us about the jewel of a restaurant. (I'm hungry already.)

What lovely photos. Now I have somewhere to try when I next come to Oregon.
ReplyDeleteThat view is heavenly! The restaurant sounds heavenly too! What a fun destination close to home.
ReplyDeleteOkay, now you made me hungry! That sounds like a great place.
ReplyDeleteWell, you just named two of my favorite things...art and food!! There is nothing more inspiring than to see fine art and then have fine dining especially in a beautiful place, and you, live in a beautiful part of the country...how fun!!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! And they provide art with great food, too! Sounds like the style of restaurant an art center would provide.
ReplyDeleteHowever, nothing compares to the view they've attached themselves to. :) Can't beat the landscape!!!
Good food but certainly enhanced by the fresh salt air and nearby art.
ReplyDeleteThis is now on my road trip destination wish list. There is nothing I like better than a deck with a view of a deserted coastline.
ReplyDeleteEver been to Nepenthe in Big Sur?
Looks stunning... I love those views :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and the food sounds yummy! :-)
ReplyDeleteOh good! We'll have to drag Brian there and cause a bout of puns and post-lunchtime happiness. :)
ReplyDeleteGood thing you don't have to choose. You seem to have the best of both worlds there... natural and man made.
ReplyDeleteYay!!

ReplyDeleteStunning views on that coast. Sigh :)....
ReplyDeleteWow that's an awesome view up there on the deck.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely way to spend time Roasaria... you really are blessed.

No doubt in this house the newly opened restaurant would be our focus. Then I would be split between the art and the sea, but husband would skip the art.
ReplyDeleteHow nice to have to choose between beautiful sights! Oh yeah.
ReplyDeleteYou know we call the planet green, but actually most of this planet is blue.
I'll bet this is definitely the new "in" spot in town. What a lovely place to sit and gaze at the Pacific. Then, one can stroll around and look at all the art. Can't think of a nicer thing to do.
