    House martini
    Carolyn E.

    We had the best experience at Voyager - what a gem of a seafood restaurant! The prices are right for high-quality seafood, the vibe is cool, and the service was excellent. We came on a packed Friday night and had the best date night. Hubby is hard to please when it comes to spendier restaurants, but he was very happy and we look forward to coming back during the week to take advantage of their specials and $2 buck shucks. Drinks: the house martini for me and an old fashioned for him; I really loved my martini served with an excellent little pickled onion. We then had the Belafonte seafood tower and added 6 more oysters - everything on this tower is so good and perfectly cooked. Sweet, succulent snow crab, well-seasoned peel and eat shrimp, toasty crackers and mussels escabeche - the best mussels I've ever had. Sweet and pickly, fresh and delicious. Everything had just the right texture. The oysters were also fantastic - so good that we ordered another dozen for "dessert." The mignonette is all they need! Hubby had the fancy fish and chips and I had the scallops - everything was perfect and so flavorful. The scallops were buttery and perfectly cooked, served with yummy sauce and the smoothest potato puree as well as some crispy potato pieces. I love ordering scallops because I'd never attempt to make them, and these were perfect. We also split the Winter salad that is made with smoked beets, and I fell in love with it. I really love beets, and now I want to try smoking them myself. Very yummy and a large portion - 3, maybe 4 people could split this salad. I like that you could come during the week and not break the bank, or come and order it all! Our bill was $300 after tip, but we really splurged this time for New Year. They also had some fab sounding specials - a snow crab claw which is rare to find, and a Chilean sea bass that sounded excellent. The ambiance is cool - you could come in very casually, but if you wanted to dress up a bit, you wouldn't feel out of place. The lighting is really nice but the seating is kind of basic. Benches along the walls and no frill chairs. I highly recommend - if I lived in this neighborhood, I'd be here all the time.

    Amazing everything. Food was fresh and delicious and service was impeccable! Cute little spot that had cutest patio too!

    Lobster Lasagna

    I went today for their special Feast of the Many Fishes. I've driven by this restaurant so many times while commuting to work so I was able excited to finally get a chance to try it out! Definitely book early- even the bar was reservation only due to volume for this weekend! I had their Lobster Lasagna. The presentation and the flavor was delightful. The combination of the sauce with the lobster was unexpected, and tasty. Their garlic bread was freshly made and spongy. It was a great size for one person! Even though the restaurant was really busy, my waitress would stop by to make small talk, which was so appreciated since I was on my own tonight. Overall a great experience, I would love to go back during their regular menu/happy hour !

    Superb. After hearing many recommendations- I had to check out voyager. I was not disappointed. I will preface by saying- their menu is curated for smaller more hand crafted dishes- SO, do yourself a favor and order a few. The oysters were fresh, and delicious. The hot crab dip was delicious... but the surprising rising star? The sardine toast. Never in a million years. And the lobster gnocchi was just.. chefs kiss. It's a smaller establishment- so do yourself and make a reservation. But the great service and vibes make it worth your trip!

    Well well well , my friend and I wanted a good lobster roll and this is where it came to get it from. We got there pretty late so we could not dine in but we were able to order out. We kept it simple and ordered lobster rolls (warm) and an order of peel & eat shrimp. At first the lobster roll looked a lil skimpy for 40 dollars, but looks were very deceiving, lol. THAT LOBSTER ROLL WAS SOOOOOOOOO GOOD! FILLED WITH GOOD LOBSTER MEAT NO FINS BC EWWW! BUTTERY AND WARM! The peel and eat shrimp were some of the best I have had, very delicious ! Overall it was a good experience. I wish we could of dined in, maybe next time!

    Caviar grilled cheese
    Bridgette Z.

    The best and freshest seafood menu around. Everything was wonderful, from the service to the drinks to the food, it was all 5 stars. My favorite bite was the squid on a stick but honorable mentions to the tuna tartare and the caviar grilled cheese

    Hushpuppies, make sure you hit em with that lemon too
    Jerome A.

    How haven't I reviewed this place yet? I've been steady eddy with my girl Voyager for a min now. She's as steady as she goes, man, consistently amazing. Man I love my girl Voyager. The vibes? Intimate comma friendly. Happy hour? Elite two-buck-shucks and the most wonderful filet-o-fish this side of Ronald McDonald. Many a night cracking crab legs and throwin down shots. Get the chowder. Get the hush puppers. I love love this place.

    Alaskan Halibut fish and chips
    Alyssa S.

    I have been meaning to try this place. It's a cute little place in Ferndale. We were lured in to try their special which was the soft shell crab tacos. It was delicious with the avocado cream along with the green salsa. We went during happy hour so we tired the $2 shuck oysters. They were very fresh. To end it all, tried the halibut fish and chips. The fish was flaky and the tartar sauce was a good accompaniment. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. Definitely coming back.

    Prawn fried rice
    Asim S.

    First time at Voyager in Ferndale and it was a great experience all around. The space is small but cozy with a lively energy without being too loud. Staff was friendly and attentive the whole night. We ordered the Belfonte seafood tower, hush puppies, crab dip, and the special prawn fried rice. The seafood tower was solid with oysters, crab legs, mussels, and shrimp, all super fresh and served with nice sauces. The hush puppies were crisp on the outside, fluffy inside, with a scoop of butter that made them even better. The crab dip was rich and warm, served with grilled toast that had the right amount of char. The standout for me was the prawn fried rice. Portions were fair for the quality, and overall it felt like a good value for a seafood-focused place. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

    Date night with my Best Friend! Food was excellent, as you can see we got a little bit of everything! Staff is super kind and helpful when it came to cocktail suggestions ! 10/10

    Yellowfin Tuna Tartare (Asian pear, hakurai turnip, sesame & tobiko)
    Han N.

    We walked into Voyager on a Saturday night without a reservation and every staff member we encountered was so incredibly kind to us. There weren't any tables available, but the hostess took down my number and gave us an estimated wait time for each dining area (outside, dining room, or bar). She gave us a menu in case we wanted to order drinks while we waited. The Crystalline and zero proof/non-alcoholic Side Eye were both great! Everyone was super laid back, but still very professional, and took such good care of us--especially Dan. We ended up getting seats at the bar and enjoyed every single dish. Dan took note of my gluten-free restriction and guided us through our choices: West Coast (Washington) Oysters, Yellowfin Tuna Tartare (toast on the side for my boyfriend), Charred Radicchio and Turnip Salad (one of the best salads I've ever had and will be thinking about this and all future summers), Pan-seared Yelloweye Rockfish special, and the Chocolate-coconut Pot de Crème to finish. I'm looking forward to visiting more often for the 2-Buck-Shuck Happy Hour and other dinner specials this summer!

    Went for the 2 buck shuck and it didn't disappoint! The food & service is always on pointe. Definitely try to make a reservation as seating is limited.

    If you're not actively seeking out this place, you might miss it! Voyager is a small spot nestled in a neighborhood, but don't let its size fool you. The cozy atmosphere adds to the overall experience. And a tip for parking: head over to the corner of the CVS parking lot and walk across the street to the restaurant! One thing that really stands out about Voyager is the staff. They're always ready to answer any questions you may have about the menu. Speaking of the menu, they offer a wide variety of seafood options. Personally, I love their oysters and mussels (I just looked at the menu and don't know if they still have the mussels). However, when it comes to the drinks, while they do get creative, I must admit they don't quite hit the mark in terms of taste in my opinion. All in all, I seriously love this place. It's a great restaurant just a little out of the downtown Ferndale area

Since…read moreneither of us had been to Barrel House before, we thought we'd give it a try--and we're so glad we did. We entered through the back entrance and were immediately greeted with a warm welcome. We quickly found a table for two, and our server was attentive from the start, bringing water right away, answering our questions, and walking us through the wine and beer selections. My wife ordered the Beet & Salmon Salad, while I chose the Crispy Chicken Club with white cheddar and house-smoked bacon. The sandwich was absolutely incredible--hands down the best crispy chicken club I've ever had. The chicken was perfectly crispy, and the combination of flavors was outstanding. I also stole a few bites of my wife's salad and was pleasantly surprised by the yellow beets. I'd only ever had red beets before, and both varieties were prepared beautifully. The salmon was cooked to perfection and paired wonderfully with the fresh ingredients. Between the excellent food, welcoming atmosphere, and friendly service, this turned out to be one of the best impromptu dinner dates we've had in quite some time. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and are already looking forward to returning to explore more of the menu. Highly Recommend!

As we followed our greeter to our table I kept screaming in my mind "no no no no no not that table no!" and she sat us at a table in full blasting sun. Nevermind the fact that there was a whole shaded section in the back part of the patio area. The rest of my group said it was fine and a beam of sun slowly bore a hole through my chest. Drink orders were up. I ordered a fabulous cross between a Moscow Mule and a Mojito. A+++ for the drinks. Mine was loaded with fresh mint from their garden. Same grade for our waitress who explained the drinks in detail and ended with "ugh- are you sure you want to sit at this table straight in the sun?" The other two said it was fine. I was ready to move, but was out voted. She continued to check in regularly and brought extra water. Most items on the menu were hot. I considered the fish, but we all landed on appetizers and we would just bounce from place to place for bites and drinks. We ordered the charcuterie board and the lavender lemon whip with bread and cucumbers for the 3 of us. The charcuterie board was the large version and had minimal offerings. It wasn't full and pretty. It was little piles of each thing on a board. This one definitely wasn't making it into Better Homes and Gardens magazine. There was a little pile of mixed nuts, a little pile of lose green grapes, a little pile of lose red grapes - not all grapes pristine or large and none were on the vine. There were 3 little piles of cubed cheese and 2 types of sliced sausage and sliced pepperoni. There were 8 crackers that were wheat thin size. This matters because we had some onion jam on the board and a nice serving of mustard. There really wasn't anything to put them on except for the 8 little crackers. That part was weird. These weren't elevated offerings. I could have picked up any of these at Walmart. They were not elevated quality either. We also got a lavender lemon infused whip which was their answer to tzatziki sauce. It was excellent but again, we were given so much of the sauce without a bunch to put it on. The cucumbers were sliced lengthways and there was a lovely bread that tasted like sourdough. There was 6 pieces of bread, and these were not particularly large pieces. A lot more would have been needed to use all of the sauce they gave. The proportions were off. All together the bill was over $100 for the 3 drinks and appetizers. If I ever did go back I won't order food based on what I experienced. There are too many other great options within walking distance.

The host is in the front said at the end of 32 oz is your bracelet will not work and you need to come up and see me to reset it. I guess that's how they would monitor whether or not someone could get another 32 oz? I'm surprised not more places have copied their business layout.

Even just watching dishes hit the tables around us had me planning what I'm ordering next time.

After seeing the vibe firsthand, I can definitely see that being a go-to brunch spot. They also keep things exciting throughout the week. Every Thursday at 7 PM, they host trivia with Jonathan from Quizzo -- six rounds covering different topics with chances to win prizes like gift cards.
