User Reviews

When we walked in, we were greeted by no one. We saw the sign to sit ourselves and chose to sit outside. They were only half full, but a lot of the tables needed to be cleaned. We must have arrived after a rush. The patio has a fantastic view of the marina. We sat at the corner table and still had a great view. Their 25-foot yellow umbrella on the patio is amazing and is the biggest and coolest umbrella I have ever seen. Had to be custom-made and fit the patio perfectly. I ordered the Asian Salmon Bowl (salad). Very yummy dish. Good portion size. I liked the homemade dressing. My friend ordered a BBQ sandwich with chips (actual bag of chips) and said it was just ok. To me, the meat and coleslaw on the sandwich looked rough. Everything is served on metal trays and with metal dishes. Loved the "vintage newspaper" as a tray cover. Art in the women's bathroom was super cool. I wonder if the men's is too? Overall, it was just OK for us. Personally, I'm not a fan of serving yourself (order at the bar and pick-up your own drinks and food) type places. And if we are doing all that ourselves, the food better at least be on par.

I highly recommend sitting on their veranda, which has an excellent view over the marina and harbour and having a pint of beer or glass of wine. They do have a really odd way of buying drinks. You order and pay at one end of the bar and pick up in a different place.

As a local, this used to be my hands-down favorite spot on the island. Nice atmosphere, perfect views, great food and drink. Unfortunately, this place has gone super downhill in recent years. You used to get seated and served. Now it’s a “seat yourself then stand in line to order food and pick it up from the bar when ready” model. Their prices have gone up, but they don’t track with the food quality. Their burgers used to be thick, juicy and gourmet, with every garnish you could think of. Now you’re paying $18 for a glorified McDonald’s hamburger. You used to get served a huge plate of perfectly cooked French fries. Now you get maybe a third of that and the fries are likely over cooked. And the staff pretty much always has a bad attitude. Here’s how I see it: this restaurant was closed for much of COVID, and so now they’re trying to make as much money back as they can for the cheapest service they can provide. And so they keep minimum staff, provide smaller portions of and worse quality food, charge as much, if not more, than any other restaurant on the island, AND expect you to tip. I just don’t go here anymore. Which is a shame, because the island sorely lacks quality restaurants, especially ones with a tavern/ski lodge-like vibe where you can enjoy hearty food with your friends and knock back some cold beers. I just think this place needs a change in ownership.

Bit of a wait the day we were there, but everything was perfect: the day, the company kept, the view, the beverages, the food, and the staff. Almost don't want to go back as it just can't be better than the memories created. ❤️

Food was delicious. Wait for food was a little long but was told everything was made to order. Lots of real seafood. No imitations.

Nice place - very busy on Saturday, expect long wait for food. Has space inside, on little deck and below to sit (didn't realize below until leaving). Quite a bit of drink offerings with screens featuring all the beers. Ordered fish and chips - really enjoyed the cod. With the amount of chips the serving fills you up. Friend ordered the burger - smaller size & came with bag of chips. Would like to check one of the other dishes next time - saw a lot order the chowder or clams. You'll have to walk a bit from the main street & will eventually see small sign. Have view to water with all the boats.

Really unique and fun restaurant on the water on Bainbridge Island. Ordered the muscles and fish & chips and they were great. Large outdoor seating area with firepits to keep you warm in colder months.

Wonderful setting on the waterfront, nice relaxing ambience, friendly attentive staff and some of the best seafood I've had the pleasure of eating anywhere. Simple dishes like fish and chips can be deceptively hard to get right. Perfectly cooked, the freshest of cod, covered in a light crispy batter it's so, so right here. Throw in a couple of the delicious oyster shots and I was in seafood heaven. Very reasonably priced too. Highly recommended.
