Great experience! Oysters tasted fresh and were delicious. The raw oysters were a bit salty so some…read moreof my friends ended up tossing out the juice (smh) but I preferred to just add some lemon to balance out the flavor. I did like the grilled oysters a bit more than the raw ones, my favorite out of the three was the Chipotle bourbon, it was sweet and tangy and the flavor meshed well with the grilled oyster. The main problem with this place is it's quite expensive, ~$2.5/raw oyster, $4.5/grilled oyster, and $1.5/clam for the clam bowl. The ambiance was great, the views of the water were nice. Service was also fine, if you get the DIY shuck oysters they give you a demo which is great. 4.6/5

Stopped by Westcott Bay Shellfish Company after seeing a few posts about this place on instagram…read more You'll need a car to get to this restaurant just as a heads up if you are walking on the ferry to San Juan Island. When you arrive there is a free parking lot out front. I'd definitely recommend placing a reservation before you arrive as it can get busy. The atmosphere is a laidback, on a farm, and hidden. When we arrived we checked in with the host and then were seated along the water. To start we ordered the seasonal panzanella salad which was an excellent to start the meal. Next we ordered several grilled oysters including the Herb Lemon Garlic, Lime Cilantro Sriracha, and Chipotle Bourbon. The Herb Lemon Garlic flavor was by far my favorite given the nice balance of flavors. If you are on San Juan Island you definitely need to check out this shell shack.

Small shop with less indoor seating, most of them took the food outside and had in the front .. it's in central Friday Harbor, and two minutes dr away from Ferry Lane. The service was friendly and quick, making it a satisfying casual meal. Definitely a spot I'll be recommending to friends!

I tried the prefix (4 course) menu which is comprised of one soup or salad, one appetizer, one…read moreentree and one dessert. It actually kind of 5 course as they gave everyone and initial little bite that the chef put together. I can't quite remember what it was, but I think it was some kind of cauliflower blended bite (see first pic). The price was definitely decent for the four course, it wasn't super expensive or anything. I also tried the goat cheese souflee, which was good, the crab roast was better though, then I had the pasta which needed salt and didnt have much flavor. I will say though that someone got the filet mignon and that was really good. The fondue was basic, but the bread and ice cream was amazing! So biggest takeaway is I think this place is really hit or miss. There's some items that are good/great and others that are really not good/great. So if you come and pick the good stuff I think you'd really enjoy it!

The service was impeccable. Doing a 5 course meal paired with wine and they pulled it off perfectly. From the amuse to the delicious tuna tartare. Amazing and so delicious. The grilled salad and soup came next and they too were well seasoned and very flavorful. I had the scallops which were perfectly cooked and presented beautifully. They melted and tasted amazing. The steak was also cooked perfect and very well seasoned. We were so full at this point it was hard to eat everything! Next up dessert. I can only restate amazing. We can't wait to go back and eat from the menu. We will definitely return and I highly recommend going!

Listen to the reviews about the salmon. Don't take the chance like I did. It was the worst I've…read moreever had. Cold, flavorless (except for a pungent fishy taste like it was undercooked and unsafe to eat), the skin was mushy and left attached (which is fine if the skin is cooked well). The potatoes were hard and had huge salt crystals that just hurt my teeth. My husband got the NY strip steak, he was equally unimpressed but at least he could eat his food without drinking water to aid in swallowing each bite. The service was kind but awkward. They would stand there and not ask any questions, I had to ask if it was time to order. They shouldn't be charging the prices they are for the quality (or lack thereof). I rarely review save two occasions, 1) I'm wowed or 2) severely disappointed. The view was nice, that was the most pleasant thing about this restaurant experience.

Located…read moreright on Friday Harbor, this place is definitely appealing for its location and view of the water. The restaurant is open seating, and you order at the bar. I thought the staff were all very friendly! A lot of them were actually students from Thailand, so it was really interesting getting to know and chat with them! They provided a few great tips for the area and things to do. Regarding the food, my family and I shared a few items. We shared the captain's platter, which included fried fish, scallops, prawns, calamari, and clams, as well as the rockfish, a few grilled oysters, and clam chowder. I'd say the fried platter and clam chowder were on the more underwhelming side. I think for a location that takes pride in their seafood it seemed a bit more run of the mill for me. I did however love the grilled oysters and rockfish! May consider coming back just for the oysters and view, but there are other businesses on the harbor I'd like to check out as well.

Unfortunately, our experience ended before we ever made it to a table. When we arrived, the hostess was on the phone. We waited patiently, but there was no acknowledgment of our presence--not even a simple "I'll be right with you." Once she finished her call, we asked for a table for four. Rather than greeting us or explaining the wait in a courteous manner, she simply shook her head and informed us there would be a 40-45 minute wait. The issue was not the wait time; it was the complete lack of hospitality. Had we been greeted warmly and treated like valued guests, we likely would have waited. Instead, we were left with the clear impression that our business was neither wanted nor appreciated. We chose to leave immediately and spent $200+ at another restaurant where we felt welcomed. While I understand that busy restaurants often have long waits, there is no excuse for poor customer service and basic discourtesy. Based on this experience, I will not return, nor would I recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the area.

Drinks were solid too. But the main course was disappointing. We ordered the steak frites, and the steak was overcooked, bland, and oddly not sliced the way it's typically presented. For the price, we expected much better quality and execution. It wasn't a terrible experience, but definitely not the special birthday dinner we were hoping for. Probably wouldn't return for a full meal, though I'd come back for oysters and drinks.
