Reviews for Downriggers - Friday Harbor in Friday Harbor, WA
Wife had salmon topped with capers served with mashed potatoes and green beans. Very fresh, like many restaurants the green... beans were crunchy/ al dente, not my favorite. I had the prawn mac n cheese. It was delicious. Their drinks are STRONG (a goodthing). The coconut margarita was awesome so was the regular house margarita. A great restaurant to get inside and cool downfrom the heat! Read more
Absolutely delicious seafood spot! Creative cocktails, great service and a beautiful location overlooking the harbor. I... especially loved the clams in a mild curry sauce. So good! We also enjoyed the fish tacos and crab melt sandwich. Delicious! Read more
Best food on San Juan Island. Beautiful setting on the bay, food is delicious and seafood is fresh. Great ambiance, and located... right next to the pier. Would love to come back one day. Read more
We had such a great experience on our day trip to Friday Harbor. The staff here was very accommodating, great vibe with outdoor... seating and fireplace. They have a coconut margarita that is absolutely to die for, we will be back for sure Read more
The views at this place do not disappoint. The best part about the airy, glass- encased dining room is the ready availability... of a fantastic view regardless of where you sit. The patio is beautiful as well, but make sure it isn't too cool before sittingdown as the island can get chilly and windy fast. We came here for lunch and dinner. The food overall is solid, and tastesfresh. Definitely ask about the specials as they rotate interesting dishes in and out daily. We ordered Dungeoness crab totsand bread with sun-dried tomato butter for apps. The butter was surprisingly tasty and satisfying in the brisk weather. The totson the other hand, were underseasoned and full of filler potato. There was negligible crab flavor. The pan seared salmon wasdish of the day and cooked to perfection. Halibut was equally good - you won't go wrong with fish here. Prawn mac and cheese isdelicious as well, but personally I would pick one of the fish entrees over it. The fish and chips is serviceable, crispy andwith a generous helping of fries. For dessert, we tried the candy bar cake and white chocolate cheesecake. The former had alittle 'refrigerator flavor' clinging to the cream, but was otherwise moist and went quick. The cheesecake is solid but nothingspecial. As for the service, the waitstaff seemed pretty inexperienced, frequently swapping with each other and spilling wateron the table, but they were pleasant for the most part. Downriggers is a great pick for a special occasion and for some greatviews. They have just managed to justify their price point. Read more
We ate here 3x already on our 5 day trip. Twice dine in for dinners and once for lunch as take out. Their specials are delicious... and their kids meals are very well done (smaller portions of the normal adult dinners), our super picky kids asked to come backhere (they basically tried everything on the menu!).

How is this place not rated higher?!?! The service (our waitress was awesome) and food was beyond our expectations! At first we... weren’t sure since it was a $$$ restaurant but we realized it was worth every penny especially when you’re having dinnerwith a view. Everything came out quickly! The food and drinks were soo good! We had the flat iron steak and the clam chowder w/warm bread & tomato butter. We also had dessert (not sure what it was called) it was amazing!! Best meal we had in awhile!!! Read more
