Excellent, local pork chop with chickpea crepe, corn salsa, and bing cherry glaze. Pretty, understated atmosphere.

We had a gift certificate here, otherwise would not have gone. The food was small portions, no surprise, but pretty decent. Every other customer in there was pretty snooty (pretentious), but that's no fault of the restaurant staff. Had a good wine list but claimed it was one of the best in the world, and in no way could that have been true. read more

This is a charming small restaurant with attentive staff and absolutely delicious food. I highly recommend it. We enjoyed salmon and halibut along with a caprese salad and delicious bread. The people could not have been kinder. The wine recommendation was exactly what we hoped for. read more

Great little restaurant in a converted house. Good food, good wine, cozy atmosphere. My lamb was succulent and my salad was satisfying.

My husband and I went on a Wednesday night around 5:40pm because we heard they had a 2 for $70 deal before 6pm - 2 three course meals and a bottle of wine all for $70. We walked in to the house-turned-restaurant and were the first ones there, though other started arriving by 6-6:15pm. The dinner was fabulous. They gave us a bread and crostini type appetizers, a soup and salad second appetizer, then we ordered our entrees, my husband ordered a regular entree off the full menu for a small surcharge, and finally ice cream. Everything was delicious and fantastic. The service was great, the ambiance was quiet and intimate and the food was so down to earth - literally. We were so impressed with how local all the courses were and it made us feel as though we were enjoying the culinary side of the island and supporting the island at the same time. read more

Unimpressed. Instead of intimate/romantic, Coho should be called cramped. We were seated in a corner, right next to the restroom. How romantic! We ordered a bottle of white wine, and they didn't even have a wine cooler or bucket of ice. We order a salad and soup as appetizers, and the halibut and scallops as a main course. They were good, but nothing special. Was tempted to give 2 stars because one large group dominated the entire "restaurant" / tiny room, but the food overall was fresh. Based on our experience would not return. read more

We ate here for our last night in Friday Harbor. Since it was New Years Eve they had a Prix Fixe menu by reservation only. It was delectable! 6 courses starting with a Hamachi Amuse Bouche, then a choice of appetizers including kusshi oysters topped with caviar. On to the salad and soup, then the entrees which included a steelhead salmon topped with shrimp and lobster atop a lobster and marscapone risotto and finished with a lobster Nage. Their desserts were great AND they sent us home with a box of complimentary goodies. Service was well paced and friendly. We will definitely stop by again when we come back! read more

Had the chefs tasting menu and it was delicious and such good value for money. Really enjoyed my experience here. The staff were attentive and thoughtful, the focus on customer service was nice too see! read more

The beef tenderloin was perfectly done, and salmon was not overcooked and slightly pink on the inside. The food was so good, we decided to do our wedding here! read more

Wonderful overall dining experience and well worth the money. Service was attentive, friendly, and timely. Setting is intimate and quaint; it captures the comfort and appeal of being at a friends home for a nice meal. Crisp whites and full bodied reds on the wine menu. The meal started with an amuse bouche of roasted butternut squash, caramelized onions, and freshly made ricotta on cucumber slices. We had the Coho salad, cannelloni, and seared scallops small plates, the steak entrée, and apple cobbler for dessert. All were excellent! read more

We were here for Thanksgiving dinner 2015. It was just ok, nothing special at all in fact I left feeling that we totally overpaid. Service quite frankly sucked. They tucked us in a corner sandwiched next to the kitchen and bathroom where I had to feel people brush up against me to get by. read more

This was an amazing find! We loved it so much we went 2 nights during our stay. It is a small, intimate fine dining place so make reservations. We had their new fall menu so we tried the late summer corn bisque, and the garlic shrimp with paprika appetizer to start and then we we had the lamb bolognese with house made pappardelle and whipped goat cheese, halibut with corn and shrimp risotto which had a shrimp remoulade and shrimp nage the first night and the second night we had the duo of chicken braised in red wine with mushrooms, roasted carrots, potatoes and greens and the beef tenderloin with Demi glacé and rosti potato. The drinks were great too. We started with lemon lavender sorbet margaritas and finished with Irish and Italian coffee drinks. We were too full for dessert but everything looked great too with the various house made items including the sorbets and ice creams. Best of all service is perfect and most ingredients are local to the islands. This is well executed fine dining which isn't inexpensive but it is perfectly reasonable for customers who appreciate truly exceptional culinary experiences. read more

Would have loved to have given more stars with a few considerations. The service staff, ambiance and wine list were all great, but the food was just lacking a little "oomph". My friend and I found both entrees, along with the soup, to be underseasoned and the duck in one of the entrees also needed to have been rendered just a few more minutes. Would try them again next time though as they're on the right track. read more

Very good, worth the price, a good treat. Service can be a bit slow, but it allows time to savor the meal. Highly recommend.

What an adorable restaurant. I went with a friend while visiting the San Juan island in early May before the season began. Dave was really friendly and a fantastic waiter, and was knowledgable about the wine list. We were there for the $70 special, I got the steak and my friend got the chicken. Both were phenomenal. The chocolate truffle ice cream was the best homemade ice cream I've ever eaten. 4 stars because the soup was meh and my vegetables were bland as though they were an afterthought. The ambience was great, too. Everyone seemed to know each other and talk across tables was friendly without being awkward. Overall a great way to end our stay on the island. read more

We've visited Friday Harbor many times in the past 15 years, and we are thrilled to see the improvements! Coho was a "change" from our past experiences, of the LOCAL, GREAT, places. WOW! We had a delicious, wonderful, dining experience! Thank you! The attention to the details, the service, the food was impeccably prepared, and the most amazing, selection, of LOCAL seafood! Loved the special, amuse boush, the delicious soup/salad, (to die for, SIMPLE!) The entrees were just so good, so perfectly prepared, I am without words... Thanks for your desire to please! read more

Great place. We hit the special which is offered between 5-5:45. Dinner for two, soup, salad, desert and a bottle of wine for $70.00. Great deal and service was good. read more

Amazing! Got a tip about the $70 for 2 special if you eat before 5:30. Took advantage of the offer and couldn't have been more happy. Special includes 2 entrees, soup, salad, bottle of wine and dessert. Living in the Pacific NW, I don't often go with the Salmon but am certainly happy about the decision tonight The salmon was delicious but what made the meal was the wild rice, wild mushrooms &a seasonal vegetables, roasted tomatoes and red pepper coulis (whatever coulis is). Hats off to the chef! Excellent job. Oh ya, my wife's black cod was great too! We'll be back next time!. read more

Basically, yum! And we just walked in on a slow Friday night. Service was perfect and professional, great wine list and a small menu with perfectly cooked food. All had a salad and the lamb chops which were cooked to perfection. It is a very small place, but that adds to the charm. A place to return to.... read more

Very small place - about 10 tables. Made evening reservation but showed up sooner and they were able to seat us (party of 2) around 6:30pm instead of 8pm. Intimate atmosphere, friendly owner and crew. Great delicious food. Highly recommend! read more

I appreciate that the restaurant is doing what they can to be safe and follow covid restrictions and they are definitely doing the right thing when it comes to safety measures but I was not pleased with the quality of this food at all. We spent over $100 on a New Year's Eve dinner hoping to make things a little special in this difficult time. We were given two options for dinners. My boyfriend got the scallops which was actually just THREE small scallops on a bed of wilted bitter greens with pomegranate seeds. I was given the worlds smaller steak which was very burnt on the outside. I'm incredibly disappointed that I spent so much on a dinner that was barely worth $60. The dessert was okay but extremely rich and not easy to eat. I feel as if I was cheated out of a lot of money however we were given a "complementary" bottle of champagne. Everything looked beautiful but what matters is that it tastes good and sadly it seems they sacrificed quality taste for an attractive product. read more

Small, intimate setting in an old house. Friendly, knowledgeable wait staff (Allison is great) with a small but excellent menu. All the appetizers, entrees and desserts at our table were great. Interesting and delicious preparations and attentive but unhurried service. Would definitely go back. read more

Wow, great restaurant highly recommend it very flavorful. Portions are just the right size. Great atmosphere. read more

Coho Restaurant - Seafood Near Me - Friday Harbor, Washington

We had an excellent meal at Coho. It's a very intimate setting but we felt comfortable with our family of three. The duck was outstanding - perfectly cooked and served with delicious sides. Their wine list is well-suited to the menu and they offered a port wine sampling, something we rarely see. We'll visit Coho again the next time we're in Friday Harbor! read more

The food was wonderful. So was the service. I had a red bell pepper stuffed with mushroom risotto. My husband had halibut. Both were well presented. The restaurant is an old house and there are few tables, so reservations are advisable. You can either dress up or dress casual. No one seemed to care. read more

The food here was great. I was so pleasantly surprised the first time I had dinner there. Good quality food is hard to come by in Friday Harbor, especially a place that is worth the money. I would go again...no doubt. Downside is that the waitstaff can be a bit dense at times. But hey, What are ya gonna do? read more

I couldn't disagree more with any negative review of this restaurant. My best friend and I had just returned from a kayaking trip and were looking to get dinner before catching the ferry back to Anacortes. Our kayaking guide had suggested Coho, so we decided to give it a try. To be clear, this is not a place to "grab dinner" and be on your way. It's a total dining experience. The dining room is a modest size--about 10 tables total, and the setting is intimate, but relaxing. We were served bread (delicious!) and a complimentary appetizer from the chef. Unfortunately, my friend and I had mistakenly misjudged the setting of this restaurant (everything is cooked to order and thoughtfully crafted, which takes time), and were cutting it quite close to our ferry. We explained this to the server, who promptly discussed this with the kitchen. The kindest woman in the world came out to apologize (she didn't need too--we needed too!!) and made every effort to make sure we were accommodated; she had our dinners placed in to go boxes, provided us with utensils, and got us our check right away. She was incredibly kind, and so gracious in spite of our embarrassing error. The food was incredible. Simple and fresh ingredients, complex flavor, and wonderfully balanced. It was the best take out meal we've ever had, and we thoroughly enjoyed every bite on our ferry back to the mainland! read more

Really nice experience. Very small place so highly recommend reservations. Food is locally sourced and very tasty. Nothing amazing but really quite nice and I expect this might be as good as it gets in Friday Harbor. Service was a little awkward but very well-meaning. The wine list seems really impressive but we just got the house red (Italian style from WA) by the glass and loved it. read more

Charming place and the food was outstanding. All menu items seemed creative and fresh and ours were prepared perfectly. Hard to find a better place on the island! read more

Fabulous and so yummy!!! Chef is incredible and the service the best!!! Enjoy!!! Cheers!!

Walking around town trying to determine what to eat and stopped by here. Saw the ad for the 2 for $70 dinner special so decided to make a reservation. From the time we sat down through dessert, the service was impeccable and the food outstanding. We had the chicken breast and halibut. The special soup was delicious, and everything was prepared and presented perfectly. Highly recommended! read more

It is not often that I rate food and service 5 star. Have to say if your here and want great food with top notch service this is it, search no more. I can't wait to return and try another choice. Thanks Coho for a wonderful evening meal. read more

We ended up at Coho during a storm - bad week for Washington and the islands before Thanksgiving. Luckily, we found this little place and really enjoyed the prix fixe special they had - complete with a bottle of Spanish wine. I loved the pasta dish, full of seasonal favorite fresh veggies and the salad was outstanding. Great service by our host. I would return! read more

The setting is quite small, but perfectly representative of the village of Friday Harbor. The decor is simple yet attractive. Ambience is high energy, since, in season, every table in the small dining room is full. Service was prompt, engaging, and attentive. Just right. The trip to Coho is rewarded, ultimately, by the cuisine! The menu, while not exhaustive, is creative and appealing. The choice of ingredients is focused on the local environment, creating freshness, interest, novelty and richness of flavors. Preparation and presentation were flawless - - as delicious on the palate as the appearance on the plate. Wine list offers a very nice array of local and international selections, with many good values to choose from (we had a 2007 Chianti for only $30). The ice cream is home made - the chocolate truffle, made with Belgian chocolates, is exquisite! One of the best dining experiences of the year. read more

Coho Restaurant - Price-buster 7 year old wine! - Seafood Near Me - Friday Harbor, Washington

My husband and I ate here for dinner on our first night visiting Friday Harbor. The food was fresh and delicious and the service was excellent. We will definitely eat here again. read more

Arctic Char was one of the best things I have eaten. Service was good although having two different people wait on the same tables becomes confusing. "Did you get this?"..."yes, she got it"...."did you get your bread"..."no". Do not skip dessert, especially the Coho Chocolate trio. Trout did not have good flavor and wasn't well described on the menu. Really a very good meal but just a few things missing. read more

Visiting the island and was very intrigued by Yelp reviews...wish I would have paid attention to the age of the reviews. There are no recent reviews. Upon entering, we were greeted by a very pleasant server who sat us at a very nice table. As she kept moving around our table I noticed she had very strong BO. I was not the only one in my party to do so and when we all realized it, we decided to leave. As we were leaving, another couple at an adjacent table nodded, acknowledging our reason for leaving. Don't know how good the food is, but perhaps the management will take note. Sorry! read more

Hidden Treasure. We were looking for a place open later than 8 PM and we stumbled on this place in a map. It had a great ambiance. Set in the living room of a quaint converted house, and since I peaked in, I know it had a GORGEOUS kitchen. The service was very personable. Our waitress was extremely attentive and full of great suggestions. The food was superb! They prided themselves on buying local. The oysters were from around 5 miles away, and the goat cheese was from the island. The halibut I ordered was AMAZING. The flavors complimented each other really well. My fiance ordered the salmon and that was also extremely tasty. Our wine was really smooth and delicious. I loved that they started off the meal with a delicious spanikota amuse bouche!! It definitely set an excellent tone for the meal! Of all the food we ordered, and we ordered a lot, I cannot say one bad thing! This is a definitely a must for fine dining on the island. read more

We planned ahead and made our reservation. So glad we did as we don't think we would've had any luck getting a table on a Friday night. I think we counted only 9 tables in this small restaurant. There isn't an indoor space to wait if a table isnt yet available- there a small covered porch. There isn't a bar area either. The tables are also close together - some right next to the bathroom and/or pocket doors by the kitchen. We were seated at a table near the front of the restaurant, next to a window overlooking the porch. This was a pleasant spot. Unfortunately, the table of 4 who was closest to our table had no volume control - thankfully, they left before our entrees were served. The rest of the evening was much more peaceful for the remaining guests. Our server was also the hostess. She was very knowledgeable about their wines and the menu, including wine/food pairings. We had the cheese board and grilled octopus for appetizers, the Ahi Tuna and Jidori chicken were our entrees followed by the Valencia Orange cake for dessert. The courses were timed perfectly and all were amazing! Our server only added to our experience. Overall, a very pleasant evening for us. We would certainly return but may pick a weeknight or later time for a quiter experience. read more

My husband and I had dinner there last night. Small, intimate, quiet with good service. However, the food was not prepared up to our expectations. My husband's trout was tasteless and grey colored - it looked old and not at all fresh. The place is named "Coho" so you'd think their salmon dish would be perfect. This fish was fresh and a nice size serving, but it was raw in the middle and when I asked for it to be cooked more, they simply warmed it up and put it on a clean plate and re-served it barely more done, but with a lot more grey sauce on top. The veggies looked like they had been cooked long ago and just warmed up and the rice patty was too hard to cut through. Plus for $30 a serving, I expected much much better. The glass of cabernet wine cost $15 and it was not worth it. This place might need a new chef ! read more
