The Nye Beach area has a variety of places that i noticed on my last trip. I haven't tried most of them, but I will at some point. If you find the Sylvia Beach Hotel, there are several restaurants in the surrounding area that look good according to what you desire. The whole area around Sylvia beach is worth poking around in. That neighborhood used to be an Italian neighborhood and there is a good Italian bakery, several upscale restaurants, a teahouse, several seafood places, and others if my memory serves me corectly. I have heard that dinner at the Sylvia beach hotel is a nice experience. When I was at Nye Beach last summer, I met some nice locals on the beach who told us about a fundraiser for a restaurant located across form the Italian bakery. It turns out that this very popular place served food from a trailer... and was the hangout for a lot of local artists, kids, and an eclectic group of other folks. The restaurant had been ordered by the city to build an indoor kitchen and could not afford to do so. The locals loved this place so much they were holding a benefit to help raise money to build the kitchen! We went that night and there was music, good food, donated art for auction from the artists who frequented this place. What a great neighborhood! Ihope you go and find that they have built their kitchen. Have fun and happy birthday.
