Coast Restaurant Group

What Coast Restaurant Group does

Coast Restaurant Group is a family-owned multi-brand hospitality company based in Newport, Oregon, operating four restaurant locations under three distinct brands. Clearwater Restaurant is the flagship fine-dining waterfront concept on Newport's historic bayfront, featuring fresh Oregon seafood, crafted cocktails, and an award-winning wine program. The Barge Inn Tavern serves as a neighborhood tavern offering craft beers and scratch-kitchen pub fare, while RISE Grab & Go provides fast-casual breakfast, smoothie bowls, and coffee at two locations in Newport and South Beach. The group shares unified culinary leadership under Executive Chef Johnny Nunn, operates on-site tower gardens to grow produce used across all brands, and bakes in-house. Revenue is generated primarily through dine-in and counter sales across the four locations, supplemented by a cross-brand catering and private events service covering Clearwater and RISE venues for corporate drops, boxed lunches, and event buyouts.

The business operates on a direct-to-consumer model with walk-in traffic, call-in reservations, brand-specific websites, and email-based catering inquiries handled through the corporate office. Marketing relies on individual brand websites, organic social media presence across each brand, and Tripadvisor listings, with no evidence of paid acquisition or third-party delivery platform reliance. The corporate structure is lean, with six employees including Owner Hans Goplen and General Manager Yesinia Hua, suggesting tight owner-operator governance over the four-location footprint.

The group has no disclosed funding, no institutional investment, no acquisitions, and no partnerships. Operating geographies are limited to the Oregon Coast, and the company sources locally from the Pacific Northwest while differentiating through its Tower Garden Program, in-house baking, and shared culinary standards across all three brands.
