Was in town for a bday trip and ended up with what I hope was an unlucky experience. Service was not good. Our server couldn't or didn't know how to open our wine bottle. Got some oysters which ended up coming with some bizarre sweet dipping sauce?? I've never seen it before. Asked the server if we could get some vinegar or like a cocktail sauce and was given horseradish. Got some fish and steak for our entrees which upon arrival/ my fish dish's sauce got sloshed all over my boyfriend's lap and table which the server was somehow not aware of. Fish was alright and the steak was very overcooked. Honestly nothing against the server, they were very kind. Just either wasn't their day, they felt overwhelmed, or they were knew. When it comes to food/ the menu a something needs to step up. read more

Sat at the bar. A lovely and lively setting. The smoked salmon chowder was creamy and luxurious and full of fish. A bowl is enough for a meal. I didn't stop there though. The crab cakes were lumpy, perfectly flakey, and had just the right sear. Ask James the bartender for a wine recommendation. He's a wealth of knowledge read more

I've been coming here for years now not just with the kids, but also for my annual pilgrimage with the boys for the Ride The Hurricane event each August. Lots of winners on the menu, but my favorite is a full bowl of the smoked salmon chowder and their Beast Burger, which mixes beef, bison, elk, and boar into their patty. World class grub. Nice vibe too with the various seating areas upstairs and street level. Service is always warm and wonderful. read more

Absolutely delicious food at every visit. Great location and atmosphere with some of the nicest staff. A truly worthwhile experience having a meal here. Highly recommend! read more

Kokopelli Grill - Coconut shrimp appetizer, tacos, and steak bites...absolutely delicious. I have never had a bad meal here. I highly recommend this! - Seafood Near Me - Port Angeles, Washington

Wholly Moly! It took 1 hour and 15 minutes to get our food. Food was expensive, edible, except for the cesar salad, it tasted like raw garlic. The male manager or host ignored us when we told him we were walking in. Said nothing to us, and started helping the people behind us. It was the weirdest experience I've had at a restaurant. read more

August 5, 2025 - Port Angeles, WA We had a wonderful dining experience here. We hadn't made a reservation, but timing was on our side. The host found us a table for two on the second floor. Our server, Johnny, was fantastic--friendly, quick, and spot-on with his recommendations. I ordered a prickly pear martini ($15) that was refreshing, while my husband's Old-Fashioned was equally good. For dinner, I chose the Kokopelli Combination ($42), and it was outstanding: perfectly cooked scallops and shrimp in a white wine garlic sauce, grilled salmon, and a crab cake over arugula with garlic lemon basil aioli, served with mashed potatoes and broccoli. I'm usually hesitant to order scallops, but these were flawless--tender and full of flavor. At Johnny's suggestion, we shared a bottle of Criss Cross Chardonnay ($27), which paired beautifully with the meal. An excellent dinner all around--we'd happily come back (but next time we will be sure to make a reservation). read more

It's very comfortable quaint upscale atmosphere. The server, Michael, was great and had very good menu suggestions which we ordered. We even had a bottle of wine, which was very reasonably priced. The food was so good we came back again the next night. read more

We had a delicious meal at Kokopelli's! It's our fifth time here and every time it never disappoints! Jon had a Caesar salad the salmon/shrimp and it was tender and delicious! I had their super decadent fettuccine! The sauce was sublimely delicious! I also really loved the raspberry dressing on my salad and my clam chowder was also on point! Great meal, fantastic views from upstairs and friendly service! read more

We stopped at Kokopelli while passing through Port Angeles, and while we had a nice evening, we felt it was a little overhyped. It's warm and cozy in the restaurant, plenty of seating available, but it is one of the more popular places in town, so try and make a reservation if you can. All the staff was super helpful and nice. Our server was Burgundy and she was fantastic. The food was good, but we didn't think it was anything more than, well, good. Nothing wowed us, and the prices, we felt were a bit high, especially for a port. I got the seafood platter and my wife got the steak. Everything was cooked well, no complaints, again, we just felt like for the price, there may be better options. read more

Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. There was a significant delay in being seated, and the main course took an excessive amount of time to arrive. Given the service delays and the unrelaxing atmosphere, the value did not align with the pricing. read more

We made reservations so we could sit upstairs in the mezzanine and have a nice view with dinner. When we arrived the host told us that since our 19 year old daughter was with us we could not be seated upstairs because that is considered a "bar" and she had to be 21. Over the course of our meal we watched 3 other families with clearly younger children being seated upstairs. My daughter ended up feeling bad about the experience. If that is the rule we were questioning why it was not enforced for everyone, The food was mediocre overall. The crab cakes were soggy and undercooked. My husband's seafood meal was poorly prepared with undercooked scallops and overcooked Salmon. The oysters were good and the chicken that my daughter and I had was okay. The best thing on both of the plates was the broccolini. The food was definitely overpriced. I will say that our waitress was fantastic and very attentive. Would not eat here again and would not recommend. read more

After we came back on the ferry from Victoria BC, we stopped for dinner here. Pleasantly surprised by the flavorful food, the outstanding service, and it is a great environment. Open floor plan trimmed in wood and stone with a coveted upstairs dining area as well. Our server, Kathryn, was absolutely amazing! She was friendly and smiled the entire time. The rest of the staff was equally friendly and made this experience top rate. The portions were generous and filling. Even the fish and chips for children was great.Will definitely be back when we return in the future. Great ending to a phenomenal ferry trip to Victoria. read more

The service here was spectacular. We didn't wait for anything, drinks came right away, food timing was on point. For the area the food is good but it's not outstanding. It will hit the spot but I would say avoid anything to complicated. We got the halibut fish special which came out dry and overcooked which is a bummer in a fishing town. Chantel mushroom flat bread was very plan tasting, I took it home and recooked it with some salt and garlic and it made a huge difference. My daughter got the Alfredo salmon pasta wich also lacked flavor. Chowder was good.Fish and chips were great, very light and satisfying. I would eat here again when in town, you just have to know what to order. read more

In between 3 and 4 stars for our experience. We made a reservation using their website and the interface they use doesn't seem to provide an email confirmation. Booking multiple weeks in advance of our trip made it difficult to remember our reservation time. We tried to call the day of our meal and didn't get an answer. We ultimately just walked down to the location and after a few minutes saw a hostess that was able to comfirm our time. Upon arriving at the restaurant for our 6pm reservation we were lead to our table after a brief wait. As an aside, I requested, if possible, a view of the waterfront for our meal as it was our 3rd wedding anniversary, sadly, this request went unfulfilled and instead we were seated behind a wall upstairs. After 10 minutes at the table our server arrived, we found it odd she didn't introduce herself. She mentally noted our entire order and we quickly received our first course, smoked salmon chowder and kokonut shrimp...both very good! We also were delivered our entrees with amazing speed shortly after we finished up the first course. Both the crab cakes and the combo were very good. An underrated highlight being the delicious mashed potatoes. Another minor issue was the fact that our server only revisited our table one time to refill our drinks. This is despite "warning" her that I tended to drink a lot of iced tea. She also didn't offer us a dessert at the end of the meal and took quite a long time to deliver and retrieve our check. Food 4-5 stars Service 2-3 stars read more

Kokopelli Grill - Utensils Fork, fat fork, and a littel knif - Seafood Near Me - Port Angeles, Washington

Went based on many of the great reviews. We came away a bit dissappointed. The food was fine but really nothing special for a coastal town, maybe my expectations were skewed by the location. Prices were quite high given the quality. Service was inattentive and not very informative. Overall just an ordinary and very expensive seafood joint. read more

Came here on weekday dinner. Not many tables. Sat downstairs since we needed a high chair. Service was attentive and staff were friendly and overshared lol. Food- got the miso black cod which definitely meets the hype. The decadent soft fish was amazing and melt in your mouth. Miso flavoring on point. Every entree comes with soup which can be their famous salmon chowder, a hefty side - garlic mashed potatoes were also decadent. Decent wine selection. I had wanted their house sangria but they didn't have prepared. Ambiance- for nice occasion or date night. But also can go in casual. read more

Kokopelli. Grill, Port Angeles,WA August 5, 2025 We Came in on a Tuesday night at about 5:30 PM. We did not have reservations, but we got lucky to get a table for two. Others that came in before us with larger groups weren't quite as lucky. It wasn't really too busy yet, but a lot of people had later reservations.Our greeter was a very friendly guy and he got us seated upstairs immediately. Kokopelli is really nicely decorated, with warm imitation brick walls and lots of clean wooden walls, stairs and banister, wooden floors, and modern wooden tables and chairs. Overall, I really liked the feel of the place. We got a table right next to the banister on the second floor looking down over the lower floor, definitely my favorite spot! Our server's name was Johnny, and he was great. He got our drink orders right away. They came out quickly. I got an old-fashioned and my wife got a prickly pear martini. Both drinks were excellent. Johnny took our order when he brought the drinks out. My wife got the Kokopelli combination, which included salmon, scallops, a few jumbo shrimp, a delicious crab cake, and mashed potatoes and cooked broccoli. I ordered the crab cake appetizer that came with a delicious drizzle on top, roasted corn, and sliced avocado. We also ordered a bottle of the Criss Cross Chardonnay on Johnny's recommendation. It was really nice, especially for the price - $27. This is a must stop place if you're in the area. Definitely make reservations though. read more

4.5/10 - food quality was okay, atmosphere welcoming, other patrons were rude to staff, service was slow but understandable given the climate.. Would go back but lower on the return list. Salmon chowder was excellent. read more

The food was really REALLY good. Everything we ordered (steak, surf and turf, mashed potatoes, grilled squashes, cheese melt, and a salad) was SO tasty. I was pleasantly surprised to find food this hearty at such an unassuming little restaurant. People working there were really nice too! Highly recommended!!!! read more

This is one of those places where the quality of the ingredients, uniqueness of the recipes, and casual professionalism of the staff justify the prices. Lots of places might charge extra for the view alone, but this place offers the whole package. Justin is an engaging and professional server. Our hostess was great. Convenient parking. read more

Walked in after finding out the other restaurant we wanted to go to was closed. The host indicated that they had a bunch of reservations that night, so I was glad they were able to seat us. We didn't have to wait too long before being seated at a two top on the second floor The smoked salmon chowder was surprisingly good and hearty. The house salad was large enough to share. I loved the combination of queso fresco, chopped pecans and cranberries on top of mixed greens. The black cod wasn't bad. Tender, flakey with the taste of umami savoriness mixed with hints of sweetness. My son opted for the flat iron steak, which was tender and cooked as ordered. It's more of a high-end restaurant, so expect prices to match that vibe. read more

I'm a NY foodie and this was one of the best meals I've had. steamed Oysters to start was a hit. meaty and large. 1st time having salmon chowder, tasteful with big chunks of salmon. miso black code was outstanding. moist and nice flavor. served with garlic mash and broccolini. Partner had grilled salmon. Our waiter Ben was friendly with great service. dont miss this place. read more

The service here is not good especially for what is trying to be fine dining. Made reservations a couple of days in advance. Arrived and they did not have a table for us. Eventually seated after about 10 minutes, at a table that seemed like an afterthought with the bartender as our server... Service was extremely slow as the bartender had to juggle making drinks, and trying to serve us. The food was OK but service was terrible, will go elsewhere next time for this reason. read more

We really enjoyed this place! We walked in on a Saturday night and they asked us if we had a reservation (we didn't, we're traveling) and we were lucky enough to get a table anyway. Alan is a great server and created a wonderful experience. We enjoyed the salmon chowder which was good and came with fresh bread. we also both had the kokopelli combo which was a very generous portion. great piece of grilled salmon, succulent scallops, and garlicky shrimps. The gravy on the mashed potatoes was very good too. The vibe is fancy and elevated and it met that standard for sure. I knock off one star because the crab cake had crab shell in it and we had to pick it out of our mouths. not great for the standard being set and price. otherwise everything was top notch read more

Excellent service. Everyone was so friendly and patient while he had our drinks and decided what to eat. I ordered the crab and shrimp melt. Cheesy and full of seafood. So good. Fries were crispy on the outside. Just the way I like them. Wife got some sort of pasta. I don't recall the name. It was on the special menu. She liked it. The margaritas were so good. We had a great view that looked out toward the water from upstairs. They have a few pairs of binoculars sitting in the windows for people to use. Restaurant was nicely decorated and very spacious with seating upstairs and downstairs. Nice clean restrooms. read more

It's been months since we went to Kokopelli Grill, and I still think about it. Despite a mix-up with our reservation, the hostess went out of her way to get us a table even though the restaurant was clearly very busy. That set the tone for the rest of the night. The service throughout was genuinely kind and attentive. But the food was on another level entirely. Everything we ordered was excellent, but the crab-stuffed halibut deserves special mention. It may honestly be the best dish I've ever had in my life. To this day, I compare other dishes to it, and nothing has come close. Do yourself a favor and make a reservation. This place is truly special. read more

Chuck the manager is aweful. He is rude, and should not be in charge. We had a reservation, asked to be sat upstairs, and refused to sit us upstairs, but sat people that just walked in, with no rsvp, right after us, in the spot upstairs. He said "do you really want me to explain to you why I can't sit you there in a middle of a rush" Treating me aweful and extremely rude. I was a GM in my past, and shopped many restaurants, and he would have failed miserably. read more

What an amazing dinner! Our friend, Mike M., works here as a server so we had to come see him in action. Boy, are we glad we did. First off, we met Justin on the way in and he was so entertaining. We love the vibe of the whole restaurant. Husband and I got the house salad to start. I got the Prickly Pear Vinaigrette dressing and husband for the Ranch. They make all their dressings and butter in-house. I want a bottle of the dressing to take home. Then, we both got the Flat Iron steaks. Holy cow, how did they get this cut to be so tender?! I got garlic mashed potatoes and husband got the Green Chile mashed potatoes - it's to die for. We wish this place was closer to our home! read more

Kokopelli Grill, Michael McQuay, and their entire team literally saved our wedding dinner. When our caterer dragged their feet for weeks until less than 2 weeks out they finally send us a menu and quote for $480/person, more than triple our budget, we had to scramble fast to figure out another option and no other caterers were available. Kokopelli, as far as I can tell, does do catering - but the weekend of our wedding was also the same weekend as the Crab Festival going on between Port Angeles and Sequim, and they don't cater that particular weekend. Regardless, Michael helped accommodate a pick up order that one of our guests split with us early evening to get, plate, and serve. Everyone loved the food Kokopelli provided. The Poblano Chicken was excellent, the garlic mashed potatoes had such a great flavor, and I am personally not a seafood guy, but I wanted to indulge in one of the crab cakes which we ordered for our guests, and it tasted quite delicious! Thank you again to everyone at Kokopelli for helping turn our wedding dinner from an irrecoverable disaster, to down right perfect. Can't wait to inevitably be back in the area and personally eat at the restaurant! read more

Visiting Port Angles & craving steak ,this is the place. The menu has a plenty options. Great service & food was cooked prepared as ordered. We had the Surf & Turf, Salads & the creme brulee. Steak was 6oz Flat Iron & we added a steak medallion cooked medium rare. Shrimp was served with butter absolutely delicious. Creme brulee was as good as I can remember. I would suggest reservation, although they got us seated quickly without one. Served with complimentary bread & butter. read more

Contrary to some negative reviews, we had an excellent meal. Crab cakes compared well with some of the best I've eaten elsewhere. Halibut was well prepared and tasty. Gin on the rocks was an honest pour. The server was attentive and helpful. There was no excessive waiting. If you are in Port Angeles, this is a good choice for seafood. read more

In a small coastal town, this restaurant on the water is worth visiting. The view of the ocean from some of the tables is quite beautiful and makes for a nice experience. By far the best thing I had there was the smoked salmon chowder! I only got a cup as a side for my burger, but I wish I had ordered the full size bowl of it! The burger I ordered which was a mix of wagyu, elk, and wild boar was decent, but nothing to write home about. I've had better tasting meat patties for a burger which I think is the most important part of a burger. The smoked salmon chowder brought this place to four stars. I hope I can order it again one day in the future. The service was good as well. read more

This place started out 5 stars but ended on 1. Very quaint and clean and great wait staff. The oysters with blood orange mignonette were amazing as was the smoked salmon chowder, the best I ever had. My son had the miso cod (not like Nobu but good enough to stand on its own) and my wife had the crab cakes. Both delicious. My entre was the issue. I had the crab stuffed halibut. The first well cooked, pan seared, but was like trying to eat a salt lick. I had to send it back. What I got back, on my same plate, was a slightly grilled halibut filet where seasoning was an afterthought and the middle was ice cold, the crab stuffing felt like it had just left the walk-in. About 02:00 I got to experience the meal again and spent the next day of my vacation going from toilet to toilet in the national park while my family enjoyed the hike we were supposed to do together. Until the kitchen staff get retrained on food safety I can't recommend this place. read more
