About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
Roche Harbor’s McMillin's Restaurant is located in the historic home of John S. McMillin built in 1886. In 1956, the late Reuben J. Tarte and his son, Neil, purchased Roche Harbor. By 1958, the Tarte family had restored many historic sites, including the restaurant, which was once the home of John S. McMillin. Additional seating in the restaurant was added in 1964, and the gazebo and deck were completed in 1977. On March 15, 1989, the Tarte family sold the resort to the current owners.

For over 40 years, the tradition of excellence has continued at Roche Harbor, the landmark boating and leisure destination resort that exists today. The restaurant remains a favorite for those who trek by land and sea to enjoy a truly unique dining experience on the very northwest tip of the Pacific Northwest.

    We were very excited to eat at McMillans, it's a very upscale restaurant with great food, and views! However New Year's Eve we had a reservations for McMillians , not the bar at McMillians, but that's where they put us. At first it was quiet, but as the night went on the bartender and people at the bar got very noisy, and it was very disturbing for our 5 course $200.00+ meal. Next time I will make sure to not let this happen again. The good was amazing, and the service good!

    Salmon and prime rib were well-prepared and in ample portions. Unfortunately, the halibut was served cold. Bread was not offered until we asked for it in the middle of our meal. A young person in our party ordered chicken, which was not well-cooked. The view of the harbor at night was wonderful.

    Fine dining at its best! They didn’t have the bottle of wine we ordered so they upgraded at no charge. Our food was dynamite!
