I had the salmon appetizer and the Texas rib entrée. Both were phenomenal. We sat at the chef's table and were served by.Ms Fraser (owner Scott Frasers daughter) ... She was a true professional and prompt with greetings service. Follow up food recommendations all while helping other customers. The owner scott Fraser checked in on us a couple times and made us feel comfortable at home and well taken care of. I love this restaurant and would recommend it to anybody who wants a top-notch meal. I wish it was up to me to give up Michelin stars! read more

Ambiance was amazing, chef was amazing! Food was great as well and service was on point! The only reason why it's not 5 stars is because it doesn't FEEEL welcoming for younger crowds. My wife and I are 25&24. We were the youngest by far in the place. But if anything is to be said about the owner and staff, it's that they are absolutely amazing. Truthfully great date night spot for well deserved success! read more

The food was excellent, wait staff was superb, the attention to detail behind the counter was amazing, the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because the owner priority's are somewhat concerning on clientele. There was a women tweaker there sitting with a group of three others, we were told she used to work at the restaurant and liked by the owner. People asked to move from their tables because of her and it was difficult to enjoy your meal because the group was extremely loud, rudely so. The owner did nothing to quiet them, even after we complained, as did others. Sad, and even though I really enjoyed the food I doubt I'll go back. But big praise to guys behind to counter! read more

Frasers is celebrating its 20th anniversary this week in Oak Harbor, and it's easy to see why this restaurant is still so popular. The food and service are outstanding, and the ambiance is nearly unique. We are on Whidbey Island one month each year and always make the 40 minute drive from the Freeland/Greenbank area to eat there. Last night we had crab cakes as an appetizer and cheesecake with a raspberry sauce and whipped cream for dessert. Our entree was an off menu item: seafood pesto Alfredo pasta, which was wonderful. Everything was great, and we love to be seated at the counter and watch the cooking process. Chef Scott Fraser is a terrific gourmet cook, and the food looks as good as it tastes. Five stars! read more

I had occasion to visit Frasers again. This time with my wife, Dad, and Stepmom. We had a very happy and lovely experience. We started with calamari and a glass of wine. I ordered the special King Salmon dish for my dinner. It was cooked perfectly, very tender with great color and just a touch deeper color in the middle. For dessert I chose the Crème Brûlée. I think that was my first time ever having that! I will be judging any other times against Frasers. The wait staff was very friendly and helpful. We were served quickly and professionally. The atmosphere was nice and comfortable with a little bit of ambient noise from other diners, but it wasn't bad. read more

This food simply wasn't as good as I remember. I feel they've become too fancy , too contrived. The tomato and burrata dish was served with chilled roasted tomatoes, other pickled vegetables and prosciutto, a bit overseasoned but dry - see pic . No olive oil or basil. It felt more like a charcuterie board when it could gave been so much more just sticking to the classics.... for this dish the sky is the limit considering regional farm to table opportunities and getting it so overengineered felt just out of touch. The rack of lamb didn't live up to its previous self either. It wasn't a rack but a bunch of end pieces - double chops cut through the middle; and the fat wasn't roasted enough to bring out flavor. This was roasted at too low of a temperature where the outside crust cannot develop and the fat remains limp. Service was ok although I was never asked if I wanted another beverage, or water refill, or if the food was good. They have a bar, the Mahattan was served in a tumbler instead of a Martini glass, and I noted the beer came out of a can. read more

I was welcomed by a friendly staff without a reservation mid week; I was told the bar was full but I could be seated at a table. The tables are set with cloth tablecloths, salad fork, fork, knife, butter knife, a water glass, and cloth napkin. The colors are soft green with warmly lit sconces. I ate the goat cheese salad which had a very light vinaigrette and thinly sliced julienne apples. The salad was a 5/5! The salad was accompanied by a piece of sour dough bread and red pepper hummus! Yummy! I am a connoisseur of crab cakes of which I highly recommend a new recipe. There were 3 nicely seared crab cakes on a bed of slaw and a side of wasabi sauce. The crab cakes were some of the worst I have ever tasted. They were overly breaded inside and it tasted like they used the sourdough bread. The sour flavor took from the crab. I would have had two crab cakes with way less filling. I had a nice Cabernet paired with my dinner. The salad and ambiance gave it a 4; otherwise it would be a 2. read more

One of the best dining experiences we have had in a long time. We started out with drinks from the bar and were not disappointed. The sourdough with red pepper hummus was deliciously unique. Next, we had the young greens salad (with mussels added on) and the Caesar salad to start. The pears in the young greens salad with the mussels made it fabulous. My dining partner had the crab & shrimp lasagna - he practically licked the plate at the end. I had the long-bone short ribs and couldn't have enjoyed it more. We took home a good part of the large portion and had the next day. We finished with coffee; dining partner had the vanilla cheesecake (sooo good per my friend) and I had the almond cake with anise ice cream. Moist, flavorful and maybe a bit overdone on the outside; the bake time was likely needed as the height of the cake is tall. We plan to return in the spring on our next overnight trip so that we can enjoy more of the menu selections. Chef Fraser stopped by table to thank us for coming in and to make sure we were pleased. We were! Elegant sublime atmosphere- white linen tablecloths, wall scones, nice lighting. Great vibe. read more

Excellent dining! The food was delicious, we were seated at the bar and had a view of the chefs, excellent service.

Simpli breathtaking. Ambiance was warm and inviting. Sat at the bar overlooking the kitchen. The chef greated me warmly and made sure I liked each course. Clam chowder was easily the best I ever had. The special was risotto with scallops, lobster tail, muscles, and shrimp. It was Devine. Super fresh seafood, perfectly cooked and balanced. Decent cocktails and service was great. Highly recommend. Easily the best meal I had on the island. Definitely book a reservation ahead. read more

Sarah, thank you so much for being our waitress. You were absolutely phenomenal. The food recommendations were so delicious! And the atmosphere was amazing for our first time dining here. I'm only regretting that I didn't get any pictures. 10/10 food, service, and attention to detail. read more

We came in one night without a reservation. The host was super friendly and seated us right away. Most of the tables were occupied but the noise was super low and still intimate enough for a date night. The food was AMAZING as always and really not as expensive as you might think. Well worth it. Cheers. read more

I can't believe it's taken me so long to write this review! My boyfriend and I were RV'ing in the Oak Harbor area a few months ago and in the mood for a nice dinner. I had no idea such an amazing place existed in the area! We called for a reservation on what was a busy Saturday night, and were lucky to get a table at a reasonable hour. When we were arrived, we were greeted immediately and got a nice seat by the window, with a view of their open kitchen. I had looked up the restaurant on Yelp in advance (of course!) and recognized their owner working behind the counter along with the rest of his amazing team. We ordered a couple of cocktails, and started with an order of crab cakes to share. They were the perfect appetizer, served with a luscious-yet-mild wasabi-based sauce. Next, the dude got a ribeye, served perfectly and with seared asparagus, and I ordered the seared scallops with a homemade risotto. Since it happened to be St. Patrick's Day weekend, they had a sticky toffee pudding on special and - even though we were stuffed - we ordered it to share for dessert. It was sweet, decadent, and so delicious I kinda wish we'd ordered two (even though I probably would have exploded). What brought this amazing meal over the top was the amazing and friendly service we received. I've never thought of Oak Harbor as being a fine dining destination, but I wouldn't hesitate to make the drive here again for a special occasion (or if we're camping nearby again and don't feel like cooking). read more

Fabulous service, wonderful food, and an enjoyable environment. This was an unexpected treat. We started with cocktails and shared 2 apps. The brie and garlic fondue was luscious and perfect for the four of us to share. The dry ribs came with 4 pieces and they were very tender and we loved the little sauce (blackberry?). I had the duck pappardelle and loved the crumbled crispy skin garnish. I would have liked a little more :-). My other had the fried chicken and corn spoon bread and I couldn't keep my fork out of his plate. Also at our table was the crab and shrimp lasagna. It was beautiful and delicious. But very rich. Could have used something on the plate to give your pallet a rest. Lastly was the lovely rack of lamb with pistachio crust. We shared the profitero dessert and literally scraped the plate. We did not expect such a fantastic meal experience on Whidbey Island! read more

Great food. Great service. We keep going back. Prices reasonable. Fondue appetizer is a must have. read more

My wife and I came here for our anniversary. We sat at the bar and I would highly recommend that experience to anyone. You get to sit right there as the talented chefs prepare the food, it is fascinating and smells incredible. Our food and drink were excellent and our server attentive. I am a vegetarian and despite living here a decade we hadn't been here because the menus we looked at online seemed to be pretty limited for vegetarians. That isn't currently the case. I had the choice of a few dishes and the cream sauce on my choice was perfect. I highly recommend and would absolutely return. The price is high, but the food and service is worth it. read more

Yum!!!!! By far and away this was the best place we dined at on Whidbey all week. Nothing else even came close. Totally worth the 45 minute drive from south Whidbey! The dining area is quit spread out, so you are not smushed up next to other diners. The service is stellar and the restrooms are lovely. Prices are high but reasonable given the service and food quality. We started with the Caesar salad. I got mine plain. Hubby got his with smoked mussels. The salads were so fresh and tasty and the mussels were delightful. Portions were quite generous. For our entrees hubby ordered red snapper and I went with the divine rack of lamb after a week of eating cloyingly sweet entrees at other establishments at, the savory chops were a breath of delectable fresh air. The sauce was so tasty and the lamb was perfectly prepared. The snapper was delicate and delicious. Definitely get a reservation here! You won't be disappointed. read more

Loved the food/cuisine the FGH serves in style even though the food are a bit on the salty side for my taste buds. Service is always great. Chef Scott's daughter is always pleasant and hard working. The ambiance is a hit and miss--sometimes quiet and natural but when they are busy, the crowd gets lively and loud. Desserts are often presented with creative touches. read more

Amazing food, great ambience and our server was so kind and we were able to take our time and enjoy our special occasion!

This is a lovely place in Oak Harbor. You walk in and there is an armoire with many coats hanging in it, good low lighting, tables with white tablecloths and the good vibe of people talking, laughing, enjoying themselves. So far, so good. I was dining alone and didn't have a reservation, but I called ahead and they said I could eat at the bar. There was no one standing at the hostess stand, so I stood and waited. And waited. And waited. I estimate I waited for 3-5 mins before someone checked in with me. There was a waiter who was taking care of a table near where I was standing and he attended to that table at least 3 times while I was waiting there and did not acknowledge me once. Not the best first impression. Finally someone came over, wrote my name in the reservation book, and took me to the bar. The bar was made of onyx and was lit from within - really beautiful - my spirits were lifted! The chefs are a little beyond the bar, so you can see them making all the dishes. They seem like a fun, chill group. Everything that comes out of the kitchen looks amazing, including their decadent desserts. My server came over right away and asked if I would like a drink. I'm a bit indecisive and had some questions and then still couldn't decide, so I asked her if she could come back in a few minutes. I knew what I wanted for dinner, so I ordered that. She never came back to ask me about my drink order, so I had to wave her down when she was walking by (I had already received my food). My cocktail was good. The food comes out at a nice pace; not too fast or slow. I had the goat cheese salad which was delicious and the black cod, also delicious. The chef was lovely with a substitution- I got these pickled veggies, which doesn't sound like anything special, but the flavor was out of this world. So much better than a side of flavorless zucchini or broccoli. As an aside, it seems like a lot of locals eat here, which is a good sign. On to dessert. They have beautiful desserts with 2 pastry chefs cranking them out. They have a dessert tray that they bring around to help you decide. That's not common nowadays and was a fun touch. My server was lackadaisical about describing the desserts: instead of "this is the chocolate espresso mousse with a vanilla bean whipped cream and crushed Biscoff cookies", she said "this is the chocolate mousse, this is the cheesecake." I'm sure she's tired of repeating the details about the desserts, but if you want to give excellent service, that's what you have to do. I was also indecisive about coffee or tea, but I told her I definitely wanted to get something. She never came back to inquire, so I just let it go. Overall, good food and atmosphere; unfortunately the service was not what you would expect from a fine dining establishment, but it wasn't so bad that it would keep me from returning again. If they would polish their service up just a notch, this would be a 5 star place. read more

Wow. In Oak Harbor. I am still shocked. We sat at the bar and got to converse with the chef. Food was excellent and had great flavor. I tend to avoid high end food because I find it translates into presentation and lacks flavor. Not here! I can't wait to come back! read more

We visited twice. First time I did not take the risk and ordered lactose free items due to my lactose intolerance. Second time, they said they could accommodate it so I ordered a pasta with a cream sauce. Unfortunately they did not accommodate my intolerance and I spent a full night hanging a toilet on my birthday. Whoops! I guess they say fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. Finally, my advice, if you are going to have an open kitchen, at least wear gloves to show hygiene is important in your establishment. read more

What a wonderful meal and exceptional service! We loved every minute there. The atmosphere was nice and relaxing. Our time there was epic due to our server, Sarah. When I called earlier I had hoped for a later reservation than our 5:30 time to no avail. But Sarah called me later about a 7:30 opening. So nice! Since I have health concerns, she saved a corner table for us. Couldn't have asked for a better experience read more

So I've lived in Oak Harbor for 12 years and have never gone to Fraser's. I heard the food was amazing but it was upper class fancy pantsy food and restaurant, so I never went. Last night, I caved and gave it a try. Why in the world did I never even try?! The food was outstanding! The service was amazing! And the dessert...oh my. I had the scallops, my brother had the Sablefish and my dad had the pork chop. Some tomato's mozzarella and calamari to start. Oh god, it was absolutely delicious. I don't think I've had scallops that good in my life. They're not frozen and we're cooked fresh. Superb! The dessert we had was amazing as well. Honestly for the quality and presentation of the food, the price was totally worth it. What an amazing place. I can't wait to go back once I'm back in town! read more

I originally made plans to visit Fraser's for New Year's Eve, but the snow and dark conditions returning to Coupeville on such a busy night cancelled that idea quickly. Instead I visited on my last night on the island after calling in reservations earlier in the day. The interior is not done justice by other's photos. It reminded me very much of a water-facing summer home. My dinner date and I both enjoyed the mussels as a starter then the house special of the night (wagyu, carrots, roasted veggies, the yummiest mashed potatoes ever, and a mushroom sauce out of this world). I especially loved the cheesecake I had as dessert! The chef himself was so very courteous to check on us at the end of our meal, as well. I have become extremely picky about my food following food poisoning at a highly rated establishment in Las Vegas earlier this year and as a result am pretty cautious on the recommendations I accept and make, but I must recommend this wonderful find in Oak Harbor. As an LA County native, the prices are more than fair for the caliber of food, the atmosphere is inviting, and the service is impeccable. Seeing as how I'll be relocating next year, this will surely become a frequented place. Please do try it out if you are ever in the area. read more

Had an absolutely lovely anniversary dinner yesterday evening: We had the lamb chops & halibut. Love that they had mango sorbet for dessert, with Happy Anniversary lovingly inscribed on the dessert plate in chocolate. Fraser - the owner/head chef, came out and spoke with us re: did we enjoy meal, to which we said: Yes! & thank you very much! Would definitely revisit this restaurant. read more

We have eaten here numerous times. They never disappoint. Food is perfectly prepared and delicious. We are partial to all the fish and seafood dishes. My only comment would be to lighten up on the sauces. My waistline is expanding! The desserts are always ALL very special and a highlight to end a fabulous meal. Can't pass them up! Another suggestion: Review the OysterCatcher's wine list. The whole crew-kitchen and waitstaff are long timers at this wonderful restaurant. That in itself is a wonderful tribute to Scott Fraser. Thank you for all the wonderful family times celebrating... read more

Well, I apologize it's been a while since I've eaten here but I think I've had this four times and every single time I don't know how they do it, but it gets better and better each time and they absolutely have some of the best entrées definitely the best appetizers I've ever had read more

Fraser's is in a really pretty Victorian near the water in Oak Harbor but has no ocean view really. I think the majority of the high cost is due to the tablecloths, napkins and plate arrangements, which were very nice. The food is just ok. We had the tomato and mozzarella (they were out of burrito at 5pm) appetizer. It was ok, nothing special. Steak was ok, but their medium is everyone else's very rare. The potatoes and sauce were very good. My ppl shank had no flavor. The gnocchi was well prepared but the broccoli seemed raw still which gave the dish a strange texture. The sauce was good though. My husbands IPA was "eh", so just ok. Service was good, the place was clean, but for the cost, I didn't feel it measured up. read more
