I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
It’s not difficult to find amazing seafood in Oregon, where we have 363 miles of stunning shoreline that opens out into the glorious Pacific Ocean. And in addition to stellar seafood, all this shoreline means a near-endless list of scenic places to grab a bite to eat. But for some of the *most* scenic coastal dining in Oregon (and also some of the state’s best fresh-caught seafood), you’ll want to venture up to Astoria’s Bridgewater Bistro.
Tucked in the shadow of the Astoria-Megler Bridge, the aptly named Bridgewater Bistro isn't just one of the best waterfront restaurants in Oregon, it's one of the best restaurants in Oregon, period.
(But it's not just dinner here, by the way -- the restaurant is also open for takeout and serves Sunday brunch.)

Bridgewater Bistro is North Coast dining done right, with a robust menu of Oregon wines that pair perfectly with the fresh-caught seafood specials. The dishes here are true works of edible art.
Not in the mood for surf? The restaurant's turf options are equally amazing, and range from bone-in pork ribeye to steak tips, and comforting sides like polenta cakes and gouda mac and cheese.
The views at this glorious waterfront restaurant in Oregon don't have to stop in the winter, either; heated pods keep diners warm whilst savoring the splendor of Astoria.
