I can't believe others have rated this place highly. They must have extremely low expectations …read more First off, the started hours say they are open until 1630 but in fact they close at 1615. Over $65 for a guest slip which was difficult to reserve at the kiosk due to a terrible system combining a parking kiosk, a paper list of available slips, and no obvious way to pay for power which is course cost extra. To add to this less than stellar experience, they have a porta potty that, as they generally are, was absolutely disgusting and not well maintained at all. Took forever to find the slip. Nothing is well labeled, no obvious map at the fuel pump, and the least intuitive numbering schema I've ever witnessed. Two other boaters I kept passing were just as lost having to make unnecessary maneuvers while searching for their assigned slip. Epic fail. I wouldn't dock my boat there again if it were sinking and that was the only way to save it.

We literally saw it on the road, found a parking place, and stopped. I'm so glad we did. The smoked Halibut chowder was on the top 5 soup/chowder experiences I've had anywhere. The Sablefish with fingerling potatoes was excellent and the oysters were fresh and delicious. The service was attentive and professional, and the views of the bay were amazing. (We were fortunate to have had a bright sunny May day) Don't hesitate to give it a go if you love scrumptious, fresh seafood with beautiful coastal views.

The oysters were absolutely delicious, and easily some of the best we've had. We also tried dessert, and it tasted homemade, so yummy and the perfect way to finish the meal. The service was just as great as the food. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, and they helped us decide what to order, which made the experience even better. It never felt rushed, and the staff really made us feel taken care of. The views here are outstanding. We were lucky enough to sit by the window, which made the whole meal feel extra special. The inside of the restaurant is very cozy, with a fireplace that gives it such a warm and relaxing atmosphere. They also have limited outdoor seating during the warmer months, which I can imagine would be amazing with the view. Great food, beautiful scenery, and such a comfortable vibe. We will definitely be coming back again.

And it wasn't too cold outside. They had heaters that helped keep warm while waiting. The server was very friendly and had good recommendations. We ordered a dozen of 4 different types of oysters, an order of crab, shrimp, and a chowder of some sort. The food came out pretty quick especially having every single oyster shucked by hand. The food was delicious, it all came in a tray with ice, and plated beautifully. There was a couple different sauces and they went really well with everything.

I was really looking forward to this, and was really let down by the service. As the rest of my family was ordering at the counter, my baby began crying so I hopped out of line to find somewhere quieter to give her a bottle. I sat down at a completely empty section, started feeding her, when a waitress came up to me and bluntly told me there's no open seating. I explained, with a crying baby in my arms, that I know there isn't open seating and that my family was at the counter ordering and that I wasn't planning on sitting in my current (again, completely empty section) spot and that I was just trying to calm down my daughter. I was met with an eye roll and an even blunter "Well there's no open seating here, you can't sit here." ????? Some understanding, or a suggestion of where to go, would have gone a long way. This was my first mother's day, and my first food outting with my daughter, and starting it off this way was so uncomfortable and awkward that I'm not sure I'll come back here.

We started with the crispy calamari with lemon aioli, and everyone loved it -- perfectly cooked, tender, and not greasy at all. A great way to kick things off. For entrées, the Oregon Shrimp Fettuccine with mushrooms and zucchini was rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious. Two of us ordered the True Cod Fish & Chips, panko-breaded and served with their signature ginger slaw and fries -- so good! The other 2 at our table had the lunch special Alaskan Halibut Fish & Chips, also served with slaw and fries, cooked perfectly. And the tartar sauce? Some of the best I've ever had. We were seated at a lovely harbor-front table with a beautiful view that made the meal even more enjoyable. What truly stood out, though, was the kindness of the staff. My aunt and uncle are elderly and move slowly, and one of the wait staff graciously offered to assist my aunt to the table while my mom walked with her brother. It was such a thoughtful gesture and meant a lot to our family. Our waiter, Shayne R., was top-notch! He was incredibly patient, checked on us often, and made us feel genuinely welcome. We'd go back just to visit with him again. Fantastic food, a gorgeous setting, and service that went above and beyond. We'll definitely be back! Wish I would have taken food/menu special photos but was just trying to enjoy lunch with some special people

I have been a long time customer of DHOC. We love our oysters! The highlight of the dinner was to have Adam from DHOC set up am oyster bar at the party. It was the focal point of the dinner and a tremendous hit with our guests. Adam served, cooked and shucked raw oysters. They were all fantastic! I cannot say enough about how fun it was to DHOC at this party. We will definitely have them back again this summer. If you are hosting a party, add oysters to menu! They are the difference between a simple party vs. a fun culinary experience for your family and friends. Our friends are still contacting us to rave about the oyster bar! Thank you, Adam, for making this dinner extra special! We appreciate your hard work and excellent service! I wish I had pictures to share but I forgot to take them!

The miso cod had the perfect crispiness on the skin and the scallops were perfect. All the tabloids went really well together. The cocktails were not bad, but not our favorite part of the meal. Everyone was super friendly and we really appreciated that our server knew exactly when to check in and give us space. He also picked up on the fact that we wanted to share all the dishes so he brought them out one at a time. When we ordered dessert he added in a candle since he knew we were celebrating and brought out extra dessert wine and goodies too! We appreciated the attention to detail :) Definitely a must try in Whidbey!
