Originally inspired by the London chophouses of the late 17th century, Oshen’s Chophouse masterfully cooks thick cuts of meat while encouraging customers to indulge in slow, European-style dining. Locally sourced dry-aged steaks, including a showstopping bone-in tomahawk, may be what the kitchen is best known for; however, recent menu additions include everything from flaky pan-seared rockfish to linguini primavera to prawn giardino in a pomodoro sauce, inspired by a version the chef’s nonna used to make. Most every room at the Inn at Spanish Head boasts an ocean view, including one of the public women’s bathrooms. But the best vantage point from which to admire the Pacific might just be at Fathoms Penthouse Restaurant & Bar, Fathoms Penthouse Restaurant & Bar DATE-NIGHT DINING located on the 10th floor. The menu is divided into two main categories, “Oceans” and “Farms,” to help steer you toward fresh Yaquina Bay oysters and steamed lobster tails or grass-fed filet mignon. Either way you go, any meal here pairs well with a local pinot noir and that panoramic view. If the thrill of date night is enhanced by gaming fun, then Chinook Winds Casino Resort should be your go-to Lincoln City stop. Take your winnings to the second floor, where Rogue River Steakhouse and its nearly 180-degree view of the Pacific awaits. The standout meal is the Siletz Duet, where you get not one but two hyperlocal entrees — elk medallions with marionberry chutney and grilled salmon coated in a silky pesto- cream sauce.
