THIS PLACE CHARGES FOR WATER!!! I have been going here for years, every summer. the food has gotten worse and worse but i cant get over the fact that the won't let you have water unless you pay. will not be returning.Also notice how this place only responds to 5 star reviews, entitled, all they care about is money. worst tourist trap ever.

Over in Friday harbour when travelling around area , went for dinner excellent friendly service , watched the chef cook meals. Owner really friendly ! Not much for vegetarians ! But good choice seafood freshly cooked , full bar . Negative point toilets . Not cheap but not too expensive ! Would definitely return if travelling again x

The crabcakes I had were mediocre at best, meagre and greasy, and vastly overpriced. However, service was wonderful.

Ordered fresh fish of the day which is grilled salmon, it was under cooked (center part still raw), and for $34 you should get a little bit more than 4 inches. Also ordered captain seafood platter (fried shrimp, calamari, fish and scallop), only the shrimp and scallop was cooked right. Calamari was under cooked as well, fried fish was burnt.They put garlic and capers on every dish. It was definitely a disappointment, and $100 worst spent.

This place had the best meal of our 2 night trip. The cod tacos and fish and chips were delicious! They also had some good drinks and the best view on the upper deck to watch the float planes land, boats drive by and the ferry. If you need a spot to wait for the ferry, this is a great spot! I will definitely make sure I stop here on all future trips to Friday Harbor! There is also a cute shop and I bought some cute jewelry and pins.

4% upcharge if you purchase certain food items with a credit card. (Posting at counter) Water....a charge Tip...looking for 18%,even though you place order at counter, grab your own drinks, bus your table. The only "service" they do is bring your food out. Food....okay Bottom line...go somewhere else unless you want to pay a massive premium for of the ferry dock.

Disappointed in this experience. It's a self service restaurant. You order at a bar & they bring you your food, that's the extent of service you get. I asked if the crab cakes were lump meat & she replied with its "rock crab, she hand makes them". We gave them a shot & the fish & chips. Fries lacked salt, cod was chewy & lacked taste. Crab cakes was ok, the shredd crab meat to me is more like Tuna & doesn't have good texture or taste. The coleslaw is a waste of ingredients. The best thing I had was the Pepsi. This meal was not cheap and the service didn't make up for anything.

Staff was friendly enough but we ordered the crab cakes and they were not very good for $28. They were small and just had a weird flavor. They only gave us one fork and we had to explain why we needed another. My partner saw a staff member dropped a fork on the floor and then put it back in the clean form pile. Expensive for sub par food. Nice location though.

We got in a bit late and caught last call! We ordered dinner in a flash! The staff couldn't have been nicer! And the food was amazing! I had king salmon and I think it was the best I have ever had! My husband ordered the halibut and it was awesome as well! I Highly recommend this place if you're ever I Friday Harbor!

I couldn't decide between the fresh-caught wild salmon or the fresh-caught wild red snapper. Our server said she liked the wild red snapper. She was right! Absolutely delicious! Decent prices, too.
Looked good, not too busy. Ordered, got our drinks and sat down. Our friends got their food orders in timely manner, we on the other hand waited… and waited some more. Our order was simple, two items with no special requests. The server apologized for the mix up. We asked for a refund for JUST the undelivered food. The server was was kind and did not charge us for the drinks or French fries.

I got the firecracker shrimp tacos and I was pretty disappointed. It was $16 for two tacos that had 3 pieces of shrimp each. There wasn't much flavoring on any of it and it had a lot of cabbage (slaw) that covered any attempt at flavoring on the shrimp. My boyfriend got the chowder and it was decent (not a chowder expert).

My family ordered 4 different dishes. Nobody enjoyed their meal. We sent one of the dishes back as it was inedible. Do not go here. There are much better options blocks away.

Not worth the price:It was ok. Not the greatest, but far from the worst. Food was alright. We got the captain's platter & half crab. I liked that the crab was pre-cracked for me. That was convenient. But flavor for the captain's platter was just okay. Each item had the same flavor & they were fried, so it just seemed... boring? I guess that's the word I'm looking for.Service: It's an "order at the counter and wait at your table," which was fine, but the servers could work on their friendly vibes! Be excited & energized!Tables: The table & booth we snagged had tears in the seat & velcro at the bottom that scratched my legs (I moved over to avoid this), not a big fan.Overall, for the price you pay, it wasn't worth it.

It's in a great location so we were really bummed we didn't like it. Really low quality food, it was like cheap bar food not upscale food which you'd think by the name and location. I got the fish sandwich and it was so bland, very uninspiring. They charge for soda refills which I've never heard of at a restaurant.
