   This is the third time we have dined here and the food has been terrible every time. Simple dishes, like salad and fish tacos are awful. We won’t be coming back as not only is the food bad, but the service is very hit or miss as well. Would not recommend, you will be very disappointed☹️☹️☹️

   Our food was all very good. The environment and noise level make it more a 3.5 otherwise the rating is a 5 of 5 for flavors and food quality. Will definitely go there again. Prices are about 30% less then many San Juan restaurants. Also our service was excellent. Everyone seemed to work together to take care of the customers.

   Downriggers is fabulous. Jackie, our server was amazing...knowledgeable about the menu and attentive. I had the flat iron steak and it was cooked perfectly. You have to try their bread with the garlic sun-dried tomato butter!!

    Had the fish and chips...not bad, but crust while crispy was also strangely chewy. Fish inside was nice and moist. Hubby's burger wad divine. The roasted cauliflower was really good...we would order that and the burger again for sure.

    Overpriced. Steak was overcooked and had to go back for another. You pay a premium here for the location, not the food.

    Great food here, but the acoustics are so poor that you cannot hear the person across the table from you unless they shout. The noise level was not “energetic,” but rather a cacophony of voices that truly ruined the dining experience for us. Carpeting on the floor and window treatments would go a long way to help this situation.

    The 1/2 roasted chicken was amazing. Crispy skin but moist inside. We also had the seafood cob, excellent. Try the crab deviled eggs if they are available.

    We went for our birthday celebration. The hostess was very sweet and went out of her way to provide us a table on the window. The server was virtually unseen the entire evening and wasn't pleasant when she did come to the table. She seemed to be in a bad mood and didn't smile or offer any suggestions. She told us two beers that weren't available and when I asked about the rotating beers, listed on the menu, she answered in a snarky voice that she already told me it was unavailable, when in actuality there was no way for me to know if the beer she mentioned was one that was rotating. After taking our order, she dropped bread and our meals. She never came to ask how things were and we didn't see her again until the bill was presented. This also happened to be the only time she smiled. I guess at that point, she was hoping a smile would improve her tip (we always tip well, even with poor service). I made a point of listing that we were celebrating our birthdays when I made the reservation and though I didn't expect anything, I think acknowledgement would have been nice. The half roasted chicken was out of this world. The only saving grace other than our view and the sweet hostess. The salmon tartar was on the verge of no longer being fresh and had brown streaks and the chicken wings were the size of drumsticks, way too big. They were also soggy from sitting in the Thai sauce. Something I would have happily shared with the server if she ever came back to the table to ask how things were. The Caesar salad was okay, but had too much garlic and needed more seasoning. We understand restaurant choices are limited on the island and mid week. We also give extra leniency given the residual effects of Covid. But honestly, a kind server with a nice smile and an ounce of courtesy will go so much further than someone who seems miserable at their job. Maybe it was an off night. At the time I chose not to make a big deal about it as not to ruin our evening.

    Just not what I expected. I ordered the Halibut special. It had three roasted carrots stuck next to the Halibut on top of a puréed cauliflower with chicken broth in the center. The halibut was good but weird presentation. The appetizer and soup were great. Artichoke and crab dip and Clam chowder. I saw a lot of people ordering burgers. I would do that next time. It’s known for it’s view and good food. I just wouldn’t spend $45 on a fish special.

    We eat here everytime we come to Friday Harbor. Was a bit disappointed. Food choices so, so. Rembered a few things no longer on menu, and not a lot of choices for non fish people. Ordered fish and chips, and thought was very pricey for value. Mine was mostly breading, way over breaded. What halibut I scraped out was good, but would not order it again. Made a reservation and noted it was for our 40th Anniversary. Requested outside, which we got, but we're plunked in the middle with little view. People coming in after us, with no reservations were given a better outside table. Just thought a little more effort could have been made. Made the evening a little bit of a disappointment.

    This place was hilariously BAD. They literally got everything we ordered wrong. In addition to a lovely 5 inch black hair in my husbands “spicy margarita”. Ordered a $36 Seafood cobb salad. No Gorgonzola and got a plate of romaine. 4 cooked frozen-thawed shrimp from Costco, about 1oz of crab meat and a HEAPING pile of Gorgonzola. Waitress didn’t offer to replace or apologize and STILL charged us full price. The only thing good about this dining experience was the view. Not even close to worth the $200 bill for 2 entrees and 3 cocktails and a beer. My “old fashion” was so terrible we left it full on the table. It was straight up laughable. We even had a reservation lololololol 💩

    Our first (and probably only) visit was divine! We booked Downriggers months ago when we knew we would be on San Juan Island. We were happy we did! The scallop special was divine and provided us with a second meal! We shared a Caesar salad and my husband’s meal was also great. Our server was BUSY but attentive.
