Looking for a salad you used to make, it's the best thing ever... Had lots of olives and pasta with green sauce. With a beautiful slab of salmon on top...

First time here. We will definitely be back. The amount of food you get for the price is amazing. Service was exceptional. Great environment. Lots of choices.

First of all, the server was amazing. She did a wonderful job and was so pleasant I couldn’t bring myself to complain.
Aside from that, I honestly think this is the worst seafood restaurant I’ve ever had the misfortune to eat in. Everything was tasteless and greasy, except the carbonara, which had the most overpowering amount of garlic I would never have known what I was supposed to be eating.
Would not recommend, would never go again.

My two former coworkers met to celebrate my 70 something birthday! I chose the restaurant after missing its former Milwaukie, OR location. As always, the food & service was top shelf. I’ll be back, now that I know they aren’t far away in Vancouver, WA.

We have gone twice in the last 5 months and we're simply disappointed in the food.
Its a amazing place, nice bar, they just need to raise the bar on what comes out of the kitchen. My wife had meatloaf with a side of ketchup. It was dry , and she does not do ketchup. I had jambalaya. It was pasta with 5 small shrimp and same salsa in it.

We hate to give up on the place, but will be a stretch for us to back.

Great service with a plenty of healthy seafood options. The restaurant is great and the food was tasty. I liked their Alder Plank Salmon and salad.

Underwhelming at best. We got a coffee, room temperature and they never offered a refill. The milkshake was good. And it just went downhill. Burned to black cheese bread. Inedible watery coleslaw. Cold fries and tough fish on fish and chips. The plank halibut was good even if over cooked. Didn't get everything ordered. Wasn't checked on. Waitress acted angry when we just wanted to pay and go home.

Where to start? Service was terrible. After we were given our menu, we waited about 10-15 before she came back.
I ordered oysters on the half shell. They were good. My husband ordered fried zucchini and the breading didn't stay on very well but, he said they tasted fine.
We shared a 4 piece fish and chips with coleslaw. The coleslaw had no flavor and the batter on the fish was salty, not very crispy and didn't stay on very well. It took about 20 minutes before our waitress(Stacy)came back to check on us.
I've eaten at the McGrath's in Federal Way and it was a WONDERFUL experience. In fact, I spoke to the manager to let him know how much we enjoyed our meal.
It's now been another 15 -20 minutes and we haven't received our check. Probably because she's behind the bar talking to some guy.🙄
We eat out quite a bit and travel to a lot of places all over the U.S. DISSAPOINTED!!
Wouldn't come back if you paid me.

This restaurant is also “WOWZA BURGERS” Please understand this was easily the worst food I have ever had in my life. I wish to God I had bothered to read the reviews on WOWZA BURGERS before I made the decision to order. If anyone ever bothers to take a look at the reviews, he will see a constant steady stream of once our reviews saying that the food taste like feet the food smelled rank and on and on almost so much that you would think somebody’s exaggerating, but I promise you all those bad reviews do not do how horrible the food actually is justice. I’ve never had a burger taste so terrible and smell so horrible in my life. It is such a simple food meat, some vegetables and a bun. I didn’t even know that it could actually be this terrible and I was hoping that the one redeeming quality would be the shake I ordered, but no, it didn’t even take very long for it to get to my house, but it was pure liquid again. If I had read the reviews, I would’ve discovered everyone else had the same experience. This is horrible place to go never ever eat the food there.

Oyster shooters where awesome

David Strom

Our waiter Payton was very nice but had too many tables so was a bit busy. Likely not his fault. The all you can eat deal was small portions, over cooked, greasy and the alfrado was cold. Really a nasty meal. Lights were as bright as possible and made the place look like a cafeteria at a hospital. The sole was not bad but the sauce was loaded with garlic even though it didn't say garlic on the menu I'm allergic to garlic. Loved this place years ago but I'll never go back.

Thought it would be a safe spot to have some seafood being in the PNW and all. NOPE The oysters on the half shell were way too big for an appetizer and not cleaned very well….crunchy. The beer on tap was not good and I tried several samplers. The salad was okay. The Parmesan encrusted halibut was so overdone and dry I couldn’t finish it. Mashed potatoes were gray and lumpy.
All and all a big disappointment. We definitely will not be going back. Too many restaurants to choose from to settle for below below average.
