    tiny portions of fish
    Dan G.

    Overpriced especially for what you receive. The portions are incredibly small - insultingly so. I ordered a three-piece fish and chips for $26 and received McNugget-sized pieces of fish. Here's a photo of the fish servings (I ate some fries before the photo was taken so ignore that serving size). When I asked the server if that was the normal size I got a yes and a "yes, it's kinda sad" response. I rarely post negative reviews and always wait a few days to see if I still feel the same way. In this case, I still feel as ripped off as the first days ago. My family and I have gone to Anthony's for several years but no more. On the plus side, the food tasted fine and the outdoor seating is nice.

    Poke bowl.
    Jennifer J.

    Whenever I'm in Anacortes on a sunny day, The Cabana is my favorite place to stop for lunch or happy hour. Their menu (prepared at neighboring Anthony's) is full of fresh seafood options, nourishing salads, and great specialty cocktails. But the best part is the beautiful outdoor setting with views over the Anacortes marina. It's an amazing place to sit and enjoy drinks and good food while boat (and people) watching. The service is always on point, and there's rarely a long wait for one of their outdoor umbrella tables. If I had one issue, it's that their prices have gone up this past year, while their portion sizes have definitely dwindled. I recently had their poke bowl and it was more of a poke snack than a bowl. I guess it's a sign of the times - but it does make it less affordable for me to go there.

    Clam chowder

    Whatever you do, get the clam chowder. Now to the other stuff. This place was amazing. It was absolutely delicious. Most likely the best fish and chips I've ever eaten here and the best clam chowder. I even had another one the day after and this one was still the best I'd ever had. The drinks are great. My husband loved their poke bowl too, fresh fish and vegetables. All perfection.

    Met some of my friends today and really enjoyed the atmosphere of this place. It is all a outdoor with some of it covered overhead...they had hanging heaters which was good because it was a little cold. I had the blackened fish taco and the cucumber drink. The taco was perfect as was the drink. I can't wait to come back when the weather warms up!

    We had a great meal at the Cabana. The Mahi fish tacos were delicious, bright with a bit of lime and I loved the fresh cilantro. The fish was cooked just right and warm with a nice hint of spice. Light cream and fresh salsa were amazing. The fish and chips are always great. The fish is well seasoned and the batter is crisp while cooking the fish perfectly. The batter is light and also seasoned. A lot of restaurants forget to season the fish and they always do. The service was great and cocktails always tasty! Enjoy the amazing view!

    Shrimp roll

    Big sigh. Went here for a special occasion lunch and was not the best experience. The food was pretty alright. Don't bother with the drinks. Completely watered down and overpriced. Also, don't expect your server to greet you or even be remotely polite. The woman who served us was a completely aloof and would rather chit chat with her colleagues than get a good tip or review. Totally overpriced for what you get and I can go to McDonald's and be treated with more respect than this establishment. It's too bad.

I was really looking forward to this, and was really let down by the service. As the rest of my family was ordering at the counter, my baby began crying so I hopped out of line to find somewhere quieter to give her a bottle. I sat down at a completely empty section, started feeding her, when a waitress came up to me and bluntly told me there's no open seating. I explained, with a crying baby in my arms, that I know there isn't open seating and that my family was at the counter ordering and that I wasn't planning on sitting in my current (again, completely empty section) spot and that I was just trying to calm down my daughter. I was met with an eye roll and an even blunter "Well there's no open seating here, you can't sit here." ????? Some understanding, or a suggestion of where to go, would have gone a long way. This was my first mother's day, and my first food outting with my daughter, and starting it off this way was so uncomfortable and awkward that I'm not sure I'll come back here.

The first was my birthday last year, chosen by a friend (I'd never heard of it). This year I was asked where I wanted to go. I did not hesitate to say here! I couldn't be anything other than delighted in my decision--from the pleasantness inside, the wonderful view from our window, the delightful staff and the incredible food and drinks, this place is wonderful. Lucky me that my birthday was on a Wednesday so I could be totally influenced to have oysters-on-the-half shell due to a generous Wednesday night special. I do love raw oysters--and these were so tiny and briny and so incredibly good, I could have eaten five dozen! (I am kicking myself for not finding out what kind they were, but no matter. I would be happy with any they are serving here, I am sure.) I had already planned on having the Oysters Rockefeller (known here as Manor Rockefeller), and so, despite having just downed some oysters, I went ahead anyway and am glad I did! They were wonderful. And there was no real reason for me to pause for a moment in my decision, having already had oysters, because these were soooooo different. It was almost like eating a delicious oyster casserole in a shell. The Mediterranean Mussels were wonderful! (Notice, I was having a dinner of appetizers...) The broth they came in was beautiful (and drinkable, if one were so inclined). I loved the surprising tastiness of the Mama Lil's Peppers swimming around in it. At first I wondered if they would be too hot and compete with the flavor--overwhelming it--but no! Not at all. They were a perfect and flavorful touch. Absolutely wonderful. (And having said that, I know that "pepper heat" is an individual thing--I can tolerate a goodly amount, fyi--I just didn't taste these as hot at all.) Our server, Drew, was immensely helpful (and always charming!) He paired our food with a delicious wine. I guess we would assign my bowl of clam chowder to the dessert category--very thick and creamy--along with a lovely after-dinner cocktail, made by the wonderful and delightful bartender, Sherry. She made me a lovely mocktail to start--I asked Drew to have the bartender just make something up on a whim. It was pretty, colorful and delish with what in it, I have no idea. But, not only was it delectable, it was a vision! All festive and fuchsia, with a "bartender's cherry," and a hot pink umbrella. When I learned Sherry made it, I was so happy because I remembered her from last year--very skilled and very fun to chat with. A wonderful birthday--I highly recommend the Manor.
