My sister in law asked for a dirty martini- it never came out. We waited and waited for her drink; never happened. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich, it too, never came out.

My pulled pork sandwich- never came- I had my husband cancel the sandwich. Such a bummer!! We love to support local, but not sure we'll be back. Especially given the price of all the drinks and food.

Interesting update for Ahles Point Cabin = the musical genre has changed - It is no longer *100% Grateful Dead, but an eclectic mix of fabulous vibes, from The Police to Wilco, Impossible Germany - to everything in between- (Wilco is worth looking up). So yes, we do recommend spending time here. ** I wish they had lounge chairs.

After stopping at McMenamins Kalama Harbor Lodge and hearing about this spot, we knew we had to…read morecheck it out. Unfortunately, it's closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so we planned to visit later in the afternoon on Wednesday. When we arrived, the parking area was empty. I walked up to the front door and stepped inside. I immediately noticed the fire crackling in the fireplace. I told the staff member I'd be right back after getting my wife. At the time, the only person inside was the McMenamins employee. The space itself is small and cozy, with two booths, about four tables, and seating for around five at the bar. There's also outdoor seating with a fireplace, though it wasn't lit during our visit. When my wife came in, she was absolutely delighted. She walked straight over and stood in front of the fire, soaking it in. We took seats at the bar near the fireplace and asked about their offerings. The bartender provided menus, which feature a small but appealing selection of appetizers, pizzas, subs, and desserts, along with a modest drink list. We'd already eaten, but I ordered a pint of their Hammerhead. As we sat by the fire, we chatted with the bartender/server, who shared a bit about the place and the nearby Kalama Harbor Lodge. A few other groups came in while we were there, but after I finished my beer, we decided to head out. Overall, we both thought this was a really charming little spot, warm, welcoming, and well worth checking out. Highly recommend!

We tried the burgers and they were delicious. We both had the gluten free buns, one was soft and fresh, the other was dense and crumbled away.

I had fish and chips which normally comes with tots, but I requested fries and they were very happy to exchange them. Three good size pieces of cod came with this and plenty of thin perfectly fried french fries. The tartar sauce was delicious. It also came with a small side of coleslaw, which was rather tasteless. My companion had the chicken bahn mi sandwich and thought it was delicious, even though she did remove most of the generous amount of jalapeño slices. They have a decent kids meal menu. Plus, crayons and a coloring sheet, which helped to pass the way of our three-year-old companion.

A special shoutout to our server, Robin, who handled our party of 35 people incredibly well. She was organized, attentive, and kept everything running seamlessly. Managing a group that size isn't easy, and she made it look effortless. Highly recommend both the restaurant and asking for Robin if you're dining with a big group!

Disappointed with that seafood restaurant on the Vancouver waterfront, we went looking elsewhere…read more I'm a fish & chip snob! I like beer battered halibut the best with some grease! I also like good chips & coleslaw. I found all 3 here at the Waterfront Taphouse. Yay! (Don't worry they aren't too greasy!). We went here with another couple and enjoyed the beautiful view, even though our table wasn't right next to the window. That is probably due to all the big windows and it's on the 2nd floor of its building. Our server was friendly, and our food came out quickly. Loved the fish & chips, like I indicated above. Why the 4 stars then? My husband, the only one in our party that didn't order fish & chips, didn't love his mahi mahi fish tacos. They looked beautiful but fell short on flavor. He felt they needed more seasoning-they were a little tasteless. He dumped the tiny little cup of salsa on top and asked for more, but he was still disappointed. The fish wasn't salted properly. They also came with "house made" tortilla chips. These were hard and cardboard-like. That's too bad because it's not difficult to cut tortillas and fry them up. I do it at home sometimes. They turn out great. So maybe go to a good Mexican restaurant if you have your heart set on quality tortilla chips. If you want fish & chips though, come here instead of their neighbor to the east (not mentioning any names-you know what it's called). The portions were generous-as they should be for $30. That's the only downside. A little pricey. We shared 2 silk pie slices for dessert. Very dense and dark chocolatey. Good to share-a whole piece is too rich-and I like rich! If not for the fish tacos I would give Waterfront Taphouse 5 stars.

Great beer selections on tap so grab a beer and some grub. The only real downside is no NA options for beer. Water and root beer, but with so many local craft NA beers around the PNW, one or two on tap would serve so many folks who are recovering, reducing alcohol for health reasons, or out solo who don't want to drink and then drive or ride (motorcycle). Love the outdoor seating in the shade or sun. Definitely a place built for our PNW weather as outdoor seating has some covered areas. Friendly service at this local spot, so go check it out.
