Restaurant O 
Earns 2024 Wine Spectator 
Restaurant Award 
Restaurant O Among the World’s Best Restaurants for Wine,  Coos Bay, Oregon, June 2024 , Restaurant O has been honored for its outstanding wine program in Wine Spectator’s 2024 Restaurant Awards, which celebrate the world’s best restaurants for wine.
​
“The restaurant industry is growing and thriving, with restaurant openings surpassing pre-pandemic levels for the first time. To take advantage of the uptick, restaurateurs are re-investing in their wine programs,” said Marvin R. Shanken, Editor and Publisher, Wine Spectator. “Restaurants that make wine a priority are what the Wine Spectator Restaurant Awards program is all about. I’m pleased to congratulate all 3,777 restaurants for their dedication to wine and exemplary wine lists.”

" For many years now Restaurant O has developed and hosted monthly wine dinners featuring the wines of a winemaker who attends the dinner and, together with MasterChef O’Neill, interacts with our guests thereby bringing to the Coos Bay area experiences that might otherwise not be available to our patrons. These wine dinners normally feature 6 wines paired with 6 courses. We have had the honor of hosting these events with many Oregon wineries including Bethel Heights, Stoller, Resonance, Domaine Serene, Melrose, Paul O’Brien, Willamette Valley Vineyards, Girardet, Cooper Ridge, Abacela, Argyle, Sokol Blossor, Archery Summit, and King Estate. We have also partnered with out of state and international wineries such as Caymus, Daou, Duckhorn, Silver Oak, Louis Jadot and Villa Antinori. This special wine dinner format has been well received by our patrons"

An American Dream
Chef O'Neill was born in his father's home in Ballinasloe, Ireland, later attended primary school in his mother's hometown in San Fernando, Trinidad and Tobago then moved to Dover, England. He pursued a degree in culinary arts in Canterbury, graduating summa cum laude. He then started his adventure in various kitchens in Gstaad, London, Paris, Canouan and Mustique of St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Sardinia, Italy.   Armored with his extensive experiences in the sophisticated culinary arena in Europe and the Caribbean, Chef O'Neill's dishes transcends various flavors with a creative flair that astounds and exceeds expectations of the palate.



Chef O'Neill's home Restaurant O offers one of the first open concept kitchens in the southern Oregon. The 3,000 square foot property that dissects highway 101 on the northern and southern routes offers a tapas and cocktail bar, a brasserie main dining hall and a tasting room on the upper level that overlooks the bay. 


Kariktan Cruz has been a pediatrician at North Bend Medical Center since 2009 right after she finished her pediatric residency in El Paso, Texas. A year after she finished medical school in the Philippines, she migrated to Trinidad and Tobago for four years working as a pediatric house officer before moving to Texas. 

Chef O'Neill's and Dr. Cruz's paths crossed while she was on vacation in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. He surprised her with a five-course tasting menu which included his mi-cuit foie gras which to this day is one of her favorites. As staunch foodies, they enjoy a variety of cuisine from street food in Bangkok, an eat-all-you can buffet in Manila and tasting menus at Joel Robuchon's, Guy Savoy's or Daniel Boulud's restaurants. For Rica, the surest way to her heart has always been through her stomach. They married in December 2008.
