    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.

    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.

    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.

    Alternative to plastic

    In response to the numerous reviews regarding plastic single use straws & forks etc. No excuse for single use plastic with alternatives being available

We headed over for dinner to celebrate a special occasion, and we were glad we'd made a reservation because the place was packed! The ambiance here is dark and elegant - not something I necessarily expect in Anacortes, but it set the perfect tone for a special evening. Our server, Aimee, who I knew from local Yelp events years ago, was absolutely fantastic. She knew everything on the menu, and by the time she described everything we asked about, we had trouble not ordering it all. But first, we started with a bottle of perfectly chilled sauv blanc while we perused the menu. I was impressed by the varied selection of food. They have everything from burgers to ribeye, and all very fairly priced. We started with an order of calamari, perfectly fried and served with a citrussy, aioli-style sauce. For dinner, Dude loved their fish 'n chips while I devoured a plate of fresh king salmon served atop crispy risotto and the most amazing pesto lemon cream sauce. After we enjoyed sharing a dish of tasty creme brulee, Aimee shared that they serve brunch here too! I had no idea, but looking at the menu and hearing that they serve mimosas, we'll definitely be back. We also got a mini tour of their adorable speakeasy style bar and huge in-progress beer garden too. I'm definitely keeping Tasha Lee's on my Anacortes rotation!

    Moby Dick's is obviously a busy place in the summer, being right across from the waterfront -- but…read morein January, it's a sleepy area and the restaurant is active, but not too busy. We found the food unremarkable - standard fish, standard chips, standard coleslaw, standard tartar sauce. All fried food is pretty standard, pretty greasy, but not any better or worse than many fish & chips shops. So why a 3-star rating rather than 4-stars? First, there is there menu and pricing: What is called a 1-piece fish & chips comes with 2 pieces - all identified fish comes with one extra piece. It's a gimmick, and mostly just annoying. 2nd, there is a charge for everything -- Want tartar sauce? There are three sizes, three prices. Want to substitute onion rings for the fries? Can't do it, even with an up-charge, though you can order fish and you can order onion rings, each separately, each with its own price. Coleslaw? Yes, but not instead of fries. And the coleslaw is pricey - a good sized portion, but a substantial price none-the-less. The portion sizes are reasonably large, but the incessant a-la-carte with each item with a price - one feels nickled and dimed to death. The atmosphere - ok, 1950s-ish, nothing special. The staff, friendly and attentive, but young and inexperienced. And then there was the problem with the cooking -- we got 5 pieces of fish (ordered 2 and 1, which is really 2+1 and 1+1 = 5). Four of them were pretty standard. One was undercooked - cooked on the outer edges (under the fried batter), and raw and translucent on the inside. Yes, they took that off the ticket, so I didn't have to pay for it, but biting into a piece of raw fish with the outside so hot it almost burned my mouth and the inside uncooked - not so pleasant. Moby Dick's gets good ratings from many Yelpers, but in my view, it's not worth going out of your way for.

    I can appreciate the freshness of what I ate. The fish was…read moreflaky and the batter had a good ratio to fish. The fries was good and everything else was good. I ordered the platter that came with a whole bunch of stuff including fried oysters, scallops and shrimp. A small place that can get pretty busy but worth the wait.

    This is probably the best fish and chips ive have up here in washington (idk you would call it fish…read moreand chips; but its fried fish and fries) ‍ and its a fish house restaurant not a fish and chips; but whatever; either way it was really delicous. I like it better how the fish fried w/ panko instead of old fashion batter. I like it better than Proper Fish; but again idk if thats truely comparable. It was rainy and we had the doggos so we had order the foods to go and ate them at the car. The sevice was fast and the two ladies working were super friendly. What we got: Alaskan cod 4.5/5 Nicely fried and the fish good as is without any sauce. Halibut 5/5 This was our favorite out of the two; realy nicely fried and the fish is just so flaky and taste great as is. Onion ring 5/5 My wife love onion rings and she said this was the best so far; it was perfect amount of batter and nicely fried as well. Both fish were great; the fries......its alright. They mightve fried them a bit too long; we still finish them tho Including tips; i paid $80 for all three; but i wouldnt mind paying knowing that its gna be great! We will be back for sure and tried their other offering; specially when the patio area is open; and i hope they are consistenly good.
