    We went here for a bite to eat today. It is a cute place with friendly service. I felt it was a bit spendy for an Al a carte menu. The bay shrimp sandwich, a lemonade, and an order of fries with tip was close to $30. The food is good. You have to order at the counter and they bring the food to you. It's all about the location which is wonderful. Being by water is always calming. They have a partial covered patio and a huge outdoor area when the weather permits.

    Let me start this by saying I am not one to leave reviews. Much less a bad one. I bought a cosmopolitan for $13 and I'll post below what I received below.. we ordered fries and waited 30 minutes for them to only find them sitting on the counter cold... last time we came the were delivered to us. Atmosphere is great but service and prices are just enough to keep us away now. We did tip well & wish we hadn't.

    Pal's is already a standout. It's a modern, fun spot that gets everything right, especially the customer experience. First and foremost, the staff here is so rad. Every single person we encountered at the counter was upbeat, friendly, and genuinely fast. They make the whole service experience personal and welcoming. I liked their merch and swag. It's fun to rep this great, new spot that looks this good. Oh and the food is delicious! I would highly recommend stopping by for the speedy service, excellent food, and the chance to grab some awesome Pals swag!

    great fries!

    We made it to the grand opening at 5:30pm and it was delightful! We've never been to this area of town and now we have a reason to come back. Order at the counter and you'll get a text when your order is ready. Gratuity is already included on menu prices. There are so many seating options. Inside is cute, front patio is lively, and back deck is where we decided to dine. They have pebble ice. That gets extra points from our kids. It's generally family friendly but also a nice spot to grab drinks with your friends. Loved my cocktail and wine when I switched. Fresh beer and a variety of soft drinks. The food was fantastic! My fish & chips sandwich was massive. Partner got the tuna salad and it was really special. The ingredients taste high quality and fresh. Don't forget the sides! Pasta salad and those curly fries are definitely worth getting. The kids ate all their food?! That's a special occasion right there. Every single person that works there is friendly and those uniforms are adorable. So fun, we'll be back!

    This is a great spot to grab food or a drink and hang out by the marina! The outdoor space is huge with lots of kid-friendly areas. When we went there was a long line. You can order food at the counter from one line and drinks/ice cream from another line. We probably waited about 20-30 minutes to order and another 30 minutes to receive our food. I thought this long wait might be a problem with little kids, but the outdoor space kept them occupied. In addition to a play area made of logs, the space also has a lawn with corn hole and a lounge area with fire pits. The place is tastefully designed and is new so everything is in great shape right now. The food itself was very tasty. The menu feels like elevated fish shack snack bar food. The teriyaki fish bowl, for example, had a complex slaw underneath trout with perfectly crispy skin. Even the things like the potato salad were better than I expected. The portions are somewhat small compared to the prices. I think things like the fish bowl were small for an entree and would recommend ordering sides (or another entree/sandwich). The cold sesame noodles felt more substantial in size. The staff are very friendly here, and the place has great vibes. I wonder if the kitchen will be faster in the future or if the complexity of the dishes limits its speed. If you are willing to wait and have realistic expectations around portion size, I would highly recommend this spot.

    Seafood tower!
    Tawny M.

    Okay I am not an oyster person but I've been dreaming about the little wildcats from Hamma Hamma with the super fresh sauces from her. PAL's is more than a little seafood lunch spot, please try the dinner. We had the fish schnitzel with slaw, the seafood tower and more. Everything was so good. And the servers were so patient and nice with our unruly group. I will be back!

I go to find a fork from kitchen. Halibut tacos.-- grilled, but bland and little to no seasoning. Teriyaki salmon tacos -- s are lemon is chopped to consistency of cat food and swimming in very wet teriyaki sauce, AND topped with MUCH mayo sauce. Can't even taste the salmon. Hands fun, the worst tacos I've had after 26 years in Oregon. STRIKE THREE. Also, they allow dogs on the deck. Tables are close on the water, so we were front toe for two large ones barking at each other throughout our meal. STRIKE FOUR. I'm giving one star because the server was pleasant. Otherwise, avoid this disorganized kitchen and amateur-hour pub fare at all costs.

Have this spent-grain roll, locally sourced cheese, farm raised ham, and lettuce, tomato, and onion that we grew on the roof topped with hand-pressed olive oil and spent-Pinot Noir vinegar. That'll be $25. Want to play some pinball? Pay this $3 cover and bring a bunch of quarters, load up a card that only works here, or pay a one-time fee of $23 to play as much as you want. Want to eat on a patio? Go to one of these tables we've wedged behind a dive bar or go into the lobby of this residential building/music venue, find the elevator and hope you counted the floors to that roof deck just right. I love Sit Tite because it's just fucking easy. It's open all week, it keeps the pinball up front and just takes quarters and bills, it gives me chicken parm when I want it, it has a good coffee cocktail when I have the money for it and $3 Rainier when I don't, and it basically has a giant dining room out back. Sit-Tite's menu could've warranted a full dining room, wait staff... the whole nine. But I'm glad there's one fucking place in this town where I can just put an order in, play some pinball, have above-bar-quality food waiting for me when I get back, and just enjoy a night outside. Yes, there are nights when the chicken parm's too much of a mess and I swing over to the hot Italian or fried mozzarella, but Sit Tite never tries to make my life worse by doing things "better."

Secondly, during my visit there was only one server to cover the large main room as well as the popular outdoor patio, making getting any kind of real service unlikely. This is not the fault of the server, but management for not having an additional server. Every time I wanted to talk with the server about the menu, or ask any type of questions, the server always seemed too busy to help me, and was generally abrupt and disinterested in offering assistance. If you want my business please hire additional and more courteous staff. Additionally the place is very dark inside, making reading the menus, with very tiny type fonts, very difficult. Please use a larger type font, maybe print on both sides of the menu to allow for larger type fonts.
