The bacon was perfectly salty and the poached eggs perfect! The hollandaise sauce was amazing and not too little or too much. The fried potatoes were nice and hot, crispy and soft inside. Well seasoned as well. A perfect breakfast. I had a Bloody Mary as well and chose the spicy mix. It is definitely spicy! The mix was very flavorful and the special salted rim was a perfect match. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. You can tell a lot of locals come here to eat. They filled up quickly and everyone seemed to know each other even as a restaurant in a hotel. I highly recommend eating here if you at Friday Harbor!

Group of 6 and ordered a variety of dishes. Wings, no flavor. Not a spectacular cook on them either. Chicken skewers in the happy hour menu $11 for 3 tiny skewers that equaled maybe one chicken tender all together. Not seasoning on it whatsoever. Chicken sandwich. Nothing to write home about. Just all bland. Burria sandwich was flavorful. Service was ok but not too friendly.

Our party of three visited for lunch at noon on a Thursday. Since we had a reservation, we were seated immediately at a lovely table right by the window. The atmosphere was great, and the staff were incredibly courteous and friendly throughout our meal. We initially thought about starting with some small plates, but we were so eager for seafood that we jumped straight into the entrees. We weren't disappointed: Bouillabaisse: This was our first time trying this dish, and it was the highlight for us. It was incredibly flavorful--exactly what we were craving. Spicy Prawn Mac and Cheese: It definitely lived up to its name! It wasn't "blow-your-head-off" hot, but it had a perfect, noticeable kick that really elevated the dish. Blackened Cod Tacos: These were fantastic. The cod was perfectly prepared and worked so well with the rest of the taco ingredients. We also enjoyed a couple of non-alcoholic drinks that hit the spot, though I'll admit that since I'm writing this a couple of weeks later, I forgot to snag photos or the specific names of the drinks! They also have a really nice patio area if you prefer dining outdoors. Whether you're a seafood lover or just looking for a great meal with a view, this place is a must-visit!

A lovely restaurant tucked at the edge of Friday Harbor…read more While the views were stunning, the service was just ok. For the nature of the restaurant, we had hoped for our waitress to be more friendly and genuine. However, it felt like they just wanted to fulfill our order and be done. I ordered the South Sound Clams and Snapper Sandwich. Bathing in an umami-packed and rich Thai curry broth, the clams were tender and fresh with a bit of brine. Very good and shareable with one other person. The snapper sandwich wowed me! The bright escovitch and creamy avocado paired wonderfully with the snapper. Every bite was delightful. The house-made potato chips, however, were disappointing. They were thin, not crispy, and sticking to my teeth. If you can, substitute for fries or salad. Despite our subpar service, the delicious, well-priced food and beautiful scenery still make this the perfect date spot.

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.

Both clams and oysters were still out and we were hoping for more fresh ones and Rockefellers. I guess it's a good indication this is a popular restaurant. We ordered the signature calamari app. This dish is unique with bits of tomatoes, raisins and pine nuts. Very fun to nibble on without ruining our appetite. Recommend. Entrees were great. Hubby was impressed by the taste and good portion size of his veal marsala compared to what he had back in the mainland. The broccolini side was outstanding never seen him so excited over eating veg before. And the fact he didn't offer me any. Must be good. My puttanesca was delish especially if you like olives. Added chicken for protein. Appreciate it's a dish that doesn't have butter or cream. Love the anchovy flavor in the sauce! On day 2, we opted for salad as entree since our salad app on day one was so impressive. Hubs enjoyed his dinner size Caesar salad with 3 prawns and I really enjoyed my dinner house salad with 3 scallops. The little nuggets of dried cherries and blue cheese were amazing. So fresh and scrumptious in every way you can tell it's house made dressing and croutons (for caeser). Typically don't get salads but we crave the ones here. Impressed by the large dessert menu. Enjoyed my refreshing raspberry sorbetto for something light and dairy free. They have a plethora of classic desserts like chocolate torte, lava cake, ice creams etc but also offer gelato, sorbet, banana fosters and dessert cocktails. The tiramisu was decent my hubby had it 2 days in a row. Enjoyed the hot complimentary table bread. So good with their table side evoo and balsamic. What's awesome is for both servers 2 nights in a row, they offered refills on the bread. I was so happy because I don't normally eat bread but being on vacay this was a treat for us to have warm hot crispy yet soft bread! They have non alcoholic beer and beverages as well we were impressed. And watermelon juice!!not expected which makes this place family friendly. Along with their huge menu of wine and cocktails). This place is great for outliers like us who have many dietary restrictions. Dim lighting, table linens. Fine dining vibes with new plates and utensils with every course.

She heard us talking about ferry times and checked in about our time needs without us asking, allowed my friend to charge her hearing aids since we couldn't at the camp site, didn't judge us for coming in in less than casual biking gear, AND served some bomb eats. A bit on the pricey side, but that's island life it seems. Still happily recommend.

My mom had the karaage aioli pizza (not pictured because I was too engaged with my own dish) and said it was good! Our server was personable, though my favorite part of the experience was overhearing neighbors visiting each other's tables to chat about gardens and family updates. The high number on our bill surprised us, though that is our fault as we did not compare prices when ordering fries as an appetizer, our entrees, and a glass of wine each. Great place to stop in if you are ever on Lopez!
