Thanks for your reply, Karen. Unfortunately, I did not get it before we left and did not have internet access while we were there. We also had to cut our trip short because of a death in the family. On the brighter side, she did not get glutened once the whole trip, which is a first! We were at Schooner's landing with a full kitchen, so we cooked most of our own meals. We did try Mo's, who now offers several gluten free choices--good, but not our favorite restaurant; Savory Café was interesting but did not offer many choices and the live music was very good but so loud we could not converse; we went down to Florence and tried a wonderful restaurant on the sea; I forget the name but it was initials; it is the first one you come to as you leave the large parking lot that is North of all the cute little shops. It had lots of outside seating overlooking the fishing boats. It did not have a gluten free menu but the staff suggested several gluten free choices, and the food was quite good, but our favorite we found in Newport just as we left. It is the Chalet, on 101, right by Fred Meyers. One of the managers(or owners) has a daughter who is Celiac--I believe her name is Barbara. She works days, go in before 3 pm. She and her daughter had created the menu, and she was totally familiar with every ingredient in every item. About half their menu was already GF, we encouraged her to write up a GF menu and I think she will. Anyway, their food was great, it was very clean, nice ambience. My daughter had two bowls of their delicious Navy bean soup, a hazelnut encrusted halibut that was fantastic (she doesn't really like fish that much unless it is deep fried); and they are famous for their Marionberry pie, so they gave her GF ice cream with the pie filling heaped on top. It was a wonderful, very affordable meal. If we are so lucky as to come again, it will be at the top of our list. Loved the ocean; hated to leave...

ods.org/ They are small but had a good basic selection last time I was there and I scored some things our local co-op doesn't carry to try.Sorry I can't help more. When I do go to the coast, I pack my own food for the most part and stay at a freind's house. Everyone else is happy with me cooking...or knows how to cook for me so we eat in for the most part.I hope you have a most wonderful trip and if you find a great place with some gfcf options, please post so I'll know when I go over next. It would be nice to have an option or two.
