Reviews for The Restaurant at Friday Harbor House in Friday Harbor, WA

2-star food, 5-star location. Beautiful view from the deck. We thought we?d try again with the change in chef. The scallops... were very tender, but the sauce was tasteless. The waitress recommended that we get the bread to use with the scallops sauce. Itdidn?t seem to add anything to the bland bread. The seasoned butter that came with the bread was similarly bland. The Brusselsprout appetizer was savory and there was a good amount. My wife had a Hearth Chicken. The chicken and the onion bed thechicken was on didn?t have much taste. The chicken itself was moist and tender. She had Grilled Carrots with pistachios, butsome were thicker than my thumb and hard as an uncooked carrot. I had a prawn dish with a raspberry sauce. I couldn?t tastemuch raspberry over the ?chili powder on the tiny prawns. The virgin pina coladas were great! We went for our 45thanniversary, hoping for an improvement over our last anniversary meal there a few years ago. I doubt we?ll be back. $164 is alot for a disappointing meal. Couldn?t beat the view though. Read more

Sunday brunch was delicious! We dined outside on the deck with lovely views and a pleasant breeze. Eggs Benedict were terrific;... the waitress substituted fruit for potatoes as I asked, and my mimosa was delicious. I would definitely return here again! Read more

The location and view are fantastic. From there it went down hill. We went for an anniversary dinner and the food was poor. ... We ordered the "house made" bread and it was served like a low quality piece of dry toast. I had the scallops and my husbandhad the shrimp. Both meals lacked any flavor and were not served hot. The mashed potatoes were also flavorless (and makinggood mashed potatoes is not hard) and tasted like potatoes mixed with some chicken broth. This was an expensive dinner and weate very little of it and actually left hungry. I read the reviews after and it sounds like breakfast may be better. Ihope the restaurant reads these reviews and can course correct because there is great potential based on the views and location. Read more

4.5 stars. We walked in on a whim for breakfast on mother's day and we were lucky they could seat us. The table was out on their... lawn and there was a bit of a sprinkle but it stopped and we didn't mind, it wasn't that cold and we had our jackets. The viewswere great with the ferries coming and going, and the atmosphere with the fire was wonderful. Had the eggs benedict, thepotatoes were really crisp and good. Service was lovely. Would love to come back for lunch or dinner someday, next time we're inthe area. Read more

Was very disappointed. Came here to celebrate. Our 37 year Anniversary to find the food average at best, over priced as it was... more Denny's quality than fine dining. Our dinner was constantly interrupted by two young girls who were running around tables,jump on the balcony stairs and using loud voices etc. Not a single manager waiter or staff attempted to ask the two women coupleto keep the girls at the table while eating at the restaurant. The dining tables and chairs were cheap the food was nothingspecial. No real flavor. Sorry to report this place is a dud for any real dining experience. It's to sad because the view wasgreat of the harbor. Everything else was a nightmare. We wish we had never trust the reviews and gone there. Ruined ouranniversary date out. Read more

We had a really great time at the Friday Harbor House restaurant although it took us awhile to find the entrance. We started... out with morning cocktails which was good and refreshing. The boyfriend had the avocado toast which he said was good. I had thebeyond burger and boy let me tell you, i have my fair share of plant based burgers and this is THE BEST!! $25 can be steep fora burger but if it's that good I will be back to Friday Harbor just to have it again!! Burger was juicy, and just full offlavor. Amazing! The service was so friendly and quick. Since it's fall season the deck is fully closed so seats arelimited What a way to start our day! We'll definitely be back! Read more

Had a Caesar salad with the ribeye steak which was very good. Their brownie with chocolate espresso and vanilla ice cream for... dessert may have even been better. In addition, the portions were generous. This to go along with the view of the harbor. It anice dinner while watching the boats coming and going. This may be the best view of any restaurant on the island. Along with thefood and service I would definitely recommend. Read more

The puffy jacket pop up was amazing! It was four delicious courses for $59. On top of that, the service was phenomenal. We each... had a heated lamp, and they provided us with fleece blankets as well. I appreciated the chef speaking with each table at the endof the meal and answering any questions we had. Would highly recommend. Food and drinks were amazing. And the views were aplus!! Read more
