Excellent food, highly recommend the claim chowder, best I had in a long time. Filet cut like butter, amazing don't even come close to describing it. Definitely ask to sit in Sashas section, attentive and very accommodating. Bussers were also wonderful. Only issue was hostess attitude almost made us change our mind. So glad we stayed! read more

Last year I had a great experience here. This year not so much. It started with a long wait at an unmanned front desk. And continued with another long wait before making first contact with a server. I felt the razor clam chowder was expired. Too fishy to be fresh. Too salty. I didn't eat this. The full cup was removed by some server; no inquiry if it was good. The dry aged bone-in ribeye came overcooked (medium well instead of medium rare); but what was worse was the tough, chewy quality, lack of any beef flavor, let alone any hint of actual dry aging as advertised. Instead it was woefully overseasoned. Mashed potatoes tasteless....the fresh bread on the table made for a better side dish. Here, the server did ask and later offered me a free dessert to make up for it. I feel I could have easily rated this 2 stars - the place lived up to being in a Casino - but the view of Padilla Bay and Mt. Adams very much upgraded the experience again. Unless last year was an outlier, I would wildly speculate it went downhill due to a change in chef. read more

Finally made it in! Hubby and I have been trying to get in here for the longest but always miss the working hours We got what you see pictured and *chefs kiss* My hubby enjoyed all of his meal and where my food was good ; I can't say I'm a braised lamb person ... I'll stick with my lamb chops lol the meat on it though - TENDERNISM ! Fell right off the bone !! The house salad ! 5/5 - I didn't know a regular salad could be so delicious , I got it with the orange vinaigrette. The service was great , the ambiance was low light and could be dressed up or down , definitely going back - if we can lol read more

Food and service are excellent,however they are quite expensive. Other established in the area have great food more reasonably priced

We live locally and have enjoyed the quality and ambience of 13-Moons for years, that was until yesterday. I made a reservation for dinner to celebrate my wife's birthday, and specifically requested a window seat. All via voicemail as there was no one answering phones. We arrived a few minutes early and I told the hostess we had a reservation for my wife's birthday dinner. She took us in and of course all the window seats were taken. I told the hostess I'd made a reservation days in advance, at a specific time. Why could they not honor that....she had no answer, nor did she offer us a seat in the bar to wait for a table to open, nor did she offer us dining on the patio. We were seated in the middle of the room! Our server was friendly and attentive, and the menu unchanged, (expensive)...When our food arrived it was noticeably smaller in portion size. All of our offerings were a little overcooked and slightly dry. Now, living locally we know that nearly all the restaurants on the island are tourist driven, where your dollar matters more to them than whether or not you return in the future, it's just sad to see this establishment heading down that path apparently. We know we have other options off-island and will be exploring them, especially for special occasions. Will this restaurant care about my review? Doubtful, oh they'll offer a canned reply feigning regret, but they really don't care. If this review helps you the reader, than it was worth it. Will we be back in the future, doubtful, we'll just have to drive a little further to where value for money and customer service still matter... read more

The food is incredible and 100% worth the prices. The staff were attentive and kind. The view was gorgeous and we will definitely be back.

My wife and I dined at 13 Moons for her birthday dinner. Online dinner reservations were easy to make. We arrived about 10 minutes before our dinner reservation and had to wait in the lobby area until the exact time of our reservation. I found that a bit odd especially since 13 Moons had several empty tables during our visit. A 20% gratuity is added to group of 6+. There is an outdoor dining area to enjoy on warmer days. Lounge seating and family restaurant seating is also an option. Large parties can easily be accommodated. 13 Moons offers a full bar. Food items range from Sushi to PNW favorites. We were seated next to the kitchen where there was a lot of traffic. It would have been nice to have been seated next to the window with a view or been given an option to sit outside. While looking over the menu, we snacked on complimentary bread and oil. My wife originally ordered the Dungeness Crab-Crusted Halibut only to be told they were out of Halibut. Her second option was the Filet Mignon for $59: 8oz Angus beef steak with Yukon Gold mashed potatoes. She enjoyed her meal. I ordered the Marsala Mushroom Pork Chop for $37: Grilled Pork Chop with Marsala glazed mushrooms and green onions served over Yukon Gold mashed potatoes. The flavor was great but the chop wasn't as tender as I would have liked it to be. A complimentary dessert was offered for my wife's birthday so we chose the Double Chocolate Brownie Cake to-go. Service was friendly and efficient. Plating is beautiful. Prices are high. Overall, I wasn't impressed with 13 Moons. Maybe it was our table. Maybe it was the high price of food that was prettier than the actual taste. read more

We visited 13 Moons for the first time. We were impressed with the atmosphere, service and quality of the food. From the initial greeting you feel you are a valued customer. We had Sea Scallops and bone in Rib Eye Steak Oscar. The food was incredibly delicious. read more

So we came here to celebrate my husband's birthday with some friends. He wanted steak and from what I read this was the place for it. The restaurant itself was beautiful. We wished we made reservation for the outside patio seating area. It was a beautiful night and that would have fit our group so much better. Instead we were seat inside near the entrance stairway. Our waitress was super friendly, unfortunately even though we made a reservation for a group of 7 when we were seated, several within our group did not have plates or water. I think they had it set up for 5 people instead of 7. A few people in our group had to ask for water several time. So service could have been better. Two within our group order the Tomahawk to share. For $99 a plate it was definitely huge and the way they present it was beautiful. This was my second time ordering a tomahawk and while it looked impressive, I find compared to the Silver Reef's Steak House version it was disappointing. The other people in the party order the ribeye and a fish special plate. Over all they said it was good, but not spectacular for the price. Bonus they provide my husband the birthday boy a nice dessert at the end. Overall it was a nice dinner experience, not sure if I would go back for the food and service read more

13 moons is my favorite restaurant in WA! The scallop appetizer is amazing, the sauce is unsurpassed. The filet mignon is perfect and the desserts are delicious. read more

Had 6:30 reservations last night. Got there early and got seated just after 6pm. Went specifically for the Prime rib and got told the prime rib was sold out. You open at 5 and we got there an hour later and the special prime rib was sold out? Hows that work? We ended up having the rib eye and the chx pasta and scallops for app. Nice place will eventually get back for the prime rib. Service was spectacular our server was great covering for the kitchen outage. read more

Service is always outstanding and friendly. They have the best cream brulee I have ever had the pleasure of tasting.

Everything was better than where I had set the bar mentally, literally everything. The appetizers had lots of flavor and were well presented. Our main courses were the same. And the chocolate cake for dessert was debilitating. Great service and we had a decent room rate + golf for two days at the hotel. read more

13moons Restaurant - Balcony view 13moons @ Swinomish resort and casino - Seafood Near Me - Anacortes, Washington

Pretty good ribeye steak but for the price you'd expect more to the dish. I just sits on a pile of mashed potatoes and that's the dish. $70 for a ribeye that sits on some mashed potatoes. Calamari is basic and very simple. Our entire party liked their food and the staff is very nice. During the night it has an elegant vibe to it but during the day it just seems like another random restaurant. One thing that did bother me that I can't believe actually happens is they allow dogs inside. A lady had two small dogs with her at her table. This is insane to me. read more

This place was perfect for my birthday dinner. High end dinning with delicious food, fantastic surroundings, and stellar service! I had the scallops which were cooked perfectly and so tender! My husband had the lobster dish which he said was delicious! Cheese cake and port for dessert was a lovely ending. I recommend this place for a special occasion or if you just are feeling fancy! read more

Wonderful experience - great food and service. We dined there for the first time on my husband's birthday, Thursday, February 20. The service was impeccable ..... from the hostess that seated us, to the person that took our drink orders .... and, of course, our super server Kiera C. We have dined around the world and found the filet mignon at 13 Moons to be excellent -- amongst the top in the world (as was the wedge salad and locally-grown baked potato). We chose the brownie cake for the birthday dessert ...... how decadent and delicious. In addition to a perfectly made brownie/cake, it came with a scoop of ice cream and freshly whipped cream on the side. We were also impressed with the atmosphere of the casino. We are always hesitant to dine at a casino as they tend to be smokey and noisy. This casino was smoke-free and the casino was not loud. The restaurant has amazing views of the water and I could see that, during the summer, there is outside dining. There is no question --- we will be returning. read more

13moons restaurant is incredible and was the perfect last dinner for our anniversary weekend. Before writing this post I think it's important to know what the restaurant name comes from the Swinomish tribe has an awesome guide which states is derived from the 13 moons of the Coast Salish lunar calendar. Topics and activities associated with each moon phase are outlined with the traditional and cultural events and many of the phases also represent season. I think this resultant does such beautiful job highlighting the culture of its name highlighting season Ingredients in a upscale yet simple way. Letting everything speak for itself. The staff was so incredibly helpful and kind. You blink and your water glass was refilled or a new fork was placed. Our server had incredible recommendations. We started with crab cakes my husband and I both do not like fruit with savory dishes this seriously made us change our minds. The apple paired so beautifully with the crab cakes richness. Without a doubt just order it won't disappoint except you may fight over who gets the last bite. My husbands halibut was perfectly cooked so tender, flavorful. My steak was giant they say 14 oz but I swear it was more took over half home and was enough for three meals. Was cooked perfectly rare from end to end. I changed from the seasonal veggie to a cesar salad . The salad was accidentally made into a large the lettuce was crisp yet tender. The Cesar salad dressing was salty, citrusy. I also added mushrooms and they were the perfect side to my steak.. The espresso cream Brûlée was so light but pack a amazing espresso flavor. Was such a highlight to the meal. Was perfect way to end a perfect weekend. We both agree we would drive back just to go here again. read more

Came here with my gf made a last minute reservation to get in. The view looks nice and restaurant is nice but the food is extremely overpriced and they give you small portions as well. I ordered garlic fries for my appetizer and they were awesome. For my meal i ordered the wild sockeye salmon and lobster... the salmon was good but they gave me the smallest lobster I've ever had. Wasn't even a lobster tail. These people took 1 lobster tail cut it into four pieces and divided it between the two of us. So your plate is rice and salmon with two tiny bites of lobster for $57 dollars huge disappointment I don't mind paying a lot of money for food but if I do I expect it to be amazing and it wasn't. I love lobster and was extremely disappointed by this. As soon as I got the final bill for $175 I thought to myself damn should've went to Anthony's instead. read more

We decided to make a night at the Swinomish Casino and Lodge. Last time we were here there was no hotel and we did not gamble. We made a reservation but I don't think we really needed one. The place was sparsely occupied. The restaurant looks out onto Anacortes and it's close by islands. Very nice view. The tables are set up nicely as well. We were seated along the glass wall. The menu is seafood and steak based as far as entrees go. I saw a pork chop dish but no chicken. The prices are up there to match the surroundings but as you know if you follow my reviews I don't mind breaking out the jaws of life to crack open my wallet for a nice experience. We ordered the grilled shrimp cocktail appetizer, wedge salad for my bride and a Caesar salad with anchovies. I was glad to see that because anchovies are an integral part of a true Caesar. I ordered the NY strip with a loaded potato. Mama had the salmon/crab Alfredo. Looking at it I thought I made a mistake going with the strip. I ordered medium rare and it was that for sure. The cut I received had a little more fat and gristle than I would have liked and for what they charge I expected a better cut. Don't get me wrong the meat was excellent. I detected a sea salt/rosemary rub which offset the richness of the almost rare meat. The potato came naked but they give me a separate dish with the standard fixins. The potato was rubbed with olive oil and sea salt. I do that at home. The service was good. Our server was attentive but not overly so and she was easy to talk to. I'm sure she had a nice smile but I couldn't see because she was masked. Apparently Covid only exists above four feet in restaurants. The courses came out spaced correctly and the portions were ample. The steak was 14 ounces including the parts I couldn't eat. The dinner was very good and we will come back eventually. Quality to Price ratio falls in favor of price. We didn't pay just for food but the entire experience even if the food quality was less than what we paid......man I am rambling! Anyway it was a good time and worth a visit. read more

Although the person that greeted us wasn't very welcoming because "we are a reservation establishment", and we showed up without prior reservations, we obliged and waited for about 10 minutes for her to seat us. Unless her reference was to the point that they are a reservation/tribal establishment? In retrospect, I am not sure and either way, we were just there to dine and didn't really understand the point of her making this comment, especially considering that the restaurant was not busy inside or outside. ‍ The rest of the staff were very friendly and attentive and we had a lovely dining experience with the beautiful view from their roof top seating. The jumbo prawn appetizer was delicious, adult beverages done correctly, salads and pan-seared salmon special was delicious. I love the choices of sides. They even have sour cream, bacon bits AND chives and were happy to provide us both with our own serving without us asking. Props to them! So often in restaurants, these simple accoutrements are provided only with some negotiation then tiny amounts arrive. Not here! As you can tell, this detail is important to us. Enjoy! read more

Literally the best meal of my life. I had the daily special which was Halibut with a dungeness crabcake on top covered in bernaise sauce with a side of garlic mashed potatoes instead of rice pilaf. My drink of choice was a glass of prosecco. Everything from the atmosphere to the service to the food and drinks was perfect. My only complaint could be the cost but you pay for what you get and I got something amazing! I would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking to get out for a nice meal. read more

Update: 6/30/2022 Tried this place again. We had a gift certificate for my wife's birthday. 13 Moons continues to underwhelm. Everything is insanely priced. $43 for Prime Rib and a baked potato? $22 for two (albeit large) Sea Scallops? The food wasn't worthy of the price tag. Service was really good, which is why I'm still giving 13 Moons 2-stars. read more

Another fantastic visit to 13 Moons! Went their on a date night to celebrate Valentines day on Saturday February 12th. Was seated promptly and had a terrific personable waiter.

Not only was the food amazing but the service was top tier! We got the tomahawk and filet mignon with mashed potatoes, which had the most amazing garlic flavor ever, steak cooked to perfection. Free bread & oil to start. Will definitely be going back. read more

Great restaurant in an unlikely location. The views from the dining room are gorgeous! The service was great and the food delicious! It's not a huge menu and most entrees are pretty pricey. I think a few more less expensive entrees would be a nice addition, as would some vegetarian options. That being said, I had a halibut filet with a crab cake that was delicious, but would have preferred it to not be drenched in a very heavy sauce. I'll be back for sure. read more

Very nice atmosphere, food was very over priced. The garlic mashed potatoes could use some updating. The Prime Rib was flavorless like it had sat in a bath of ice and water, one of the worse we've ever had. You need to update you meat selections if you are going to charge high prices. I am a at home Chef, been cooking all varieties of food since I was 12. I have ruined restaurants for ever. My wife is ruined. Cooked for many events. Update your food Chef Daniel and you will have a winner. read more

Lovely , warm service, nice atmosphere. Loved our server and the other guy who came around randomly. Just... both our steaks were undercooked. I ordered the filet medium, it came out medium rare. It had a nice crust on it but was bright red and bloody, all the way through. My friend ordered prime rib medium rare and it came out rare. It put me off. We both kinda just ate the edges. Next time will send them back read more

I think I clicked in at the perfect time to get a last minute reservation. One open table time for the whole night, I immediately snagged it. Nice place, on the casual side. Lots of open space between you and the party next to you. The food was really, really good. Probably not diet friendly, but hey... it was New Year's Eve. Server was friendly, kept my water glass filled most of the time. Just wasn't overly outgoing. Menu is kind of limited. Offered enough that most will find something to eat. Prices are a little high. Heck everything is anymore. Will do it again. read more
