It's deceivingly large on the inside and plenty of outside sitting. Today was an inside kind of day. We ordered and enjoyed some cocktails before eating. We shared a clam chowder and a bacon jelly burger. Both very good and satisfying. We also spent a good time talking to Jerry who cooked our meal but I'm assuming is the owner. What a pleasant person. Enjoyed the conversation immensely. We ordered some desserts to have back at our hotel. Oh did I mention the desserts are made from scratch by them. We got a slice of carrot cake and a slice of berry pie. Definitely a must stop place if you're on Lopez Island.

It's rare to have a meal where everything impresses, but this was one of those times. We came here to celebrate a birthday during a getaway to Lopez Island, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip.

Healthy food is great and all, but I never felt like spending the extra money. This week I noticed they updated their menu, so I took a chance on the Banh Mi (spelling still questionable, lol). Honestly? It was really good. It didn't taste like "healthy food," but I could tell it was, and I actually felt great afterward. My only critique is the bread. If you don't eat the sandwich pretty quickly, it soaks up the juices and starts to fall apart faster than you'd expect. Not a dealbreaker, just something to know. Overall, solid job. I'm actually excited to try more of the new menu items now.

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.

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.

The location is wonderful. Water views, downtown, so it's easy to get around. Parking was easy and even though we were early for our reservation they sat us right away. The mids- when I made the reservation online I made a note about it being a very special birthday for my wife. I did not expect anything for free, but I anticipated they might at the minimum say something. Not one person ever mentioned it. The lows. The service, well intended, but under trained. I won't list everything but the prime example is once the food was dropped the server did not show up again until we were almost done. The food was sub par. We had Miso glazed cod and French onion soup. We weren't happy with either. By the looks of reviews, our experience was not normal. We hope it is just due to going before the tourist season starts. No matter the reason, it was a big let down.
