The bacon was perfectly salty and the poached eggs perfect! The hollandaise sauce was amazing and not too little or too much. The fried potatoes were nice and hot, crispy and soft inside. Well seasoned as well. A perfect breakfast. I had a Bloody Mary as well and chose the spicy mix. It is definitely spicy! The mix was very flavorful and the special salted rim was a perfect match. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. You can tell a lot of locals come here to eat. They filled up quickly and everyone seemed to know each other even as a restaurant in a hotel. I highly recommend eating here if you at Friday Harbor!

They have a Hawaiian fusion brunch menu which looked cool, but zero vegetarian or gluten free options so I had to order something standard. Got the veggie and cheese omelette. No gluten free toast options here. The omelette was fine. Similar, if not slightly lower quality than what you would get at iHop or another inexpensive chain. Wayyyyy too much spinach which was an odd texture, but the rest of the veggies were good. The breakfast potatoes were good, but I am sure they were frozen and heated up. My boyfriend got an Irish coffee and liked it. There was a TON of whipped cream, but I think he liked that. The ambiance is fine. We LOVED the view, but it wasn't exactly bustling and lively on a Saturday at brunch on a sunny day. The price was crazy for what it was. I think my omelette was like $25 and the quality was giving like $8. Maybe this is just what island prices look like. I might try somewhere else next time I wait for the ferry.

If you find yourself in Friday Harbor, you absolutely have to visit this spot. My top tip: make a…read morereservation. This place fills up fast, and after dining there, it's easy to see why! Our party of three visited for lunch at noon on a Thursday. Since we had a reservation, we were seated immediately at a lovely table right by the window. The atmosphere was great, and the staff were incredibly courteous and friendly throughout our meal. We initially thought about starting with some small plates, but we were so eager for seafood that we jumped straight into the entrees. We weren't disappointed: Bouillabaisse: This was our first time trying this dish, and it was the highlight for us. It was incredibly flavorful--exactly what we were craving. Spicy Prawn Mac and Cheese: It definitely lived up to its name! It wasn't "blow-your-head-off" hot, but it had a perfect, noticeable kick that really elevated the dish. Blackened Cod Tacos: These were fantastic. The cod was perfectly prepared and worked so well with the rest of the taco ingredients. We also enjoyed a couple of non-alcoholic drinks that hit the spot, though I'll admit that since I'm writing this a couple of weeks later, I forgot to snag photos or the specific names of the drinks! They also have a really nice patio area if you prefer dining outdoors. Whether you're a seafood lover or just looking for a great meal with a view, this place is a must-visit!

For the nature of the restaurant, we had hoped for our waitress to be more friendly and genuine. However, it felt like they just wanted to fulfill our order and be done. I ordered the South Sound Clams and Snapper Sandwich. Bathing in an umami-packed and rich Thai curry broth, the clams were tender and fresh with a bit of brine. Very good and shareable with one other person. The snapper sandwich wowed me! The bright escovitch and creamy avocado paired wonderfully with the snapper. Every bite was delightful. The house-made potato chips, however, were disappointing. They were thin, not crispy, and sticking to my teeth. If you can, substitute for fries or salad. Despite our subpar service, the delicious, well-priced food and beautiful scenery still make this the perfect date spot.

Drinks were solid too. But the main course was disappointing. We ordered the steak frites, and the steak was overcooked, bland, and oddly not sliced the way it's typically presented.

Probably wouldn't return for a full meal, though I'd come back for oysters and drinks.

The freshest oysters, quality seafood of all sorts, great fries, good drink options (including non-alcoholic). In particular we really appreciated the service. She heard us talking about ferry times and checked in about our time needs without us asking, allowed my friend to charge her hearing aids since we couldn't at the camp site, didn't judge us for coming in in less than casual biking gear, AND served some bomb eats. A bit on the pricey side, but that's island life it seems. Still happily recommend.
