The Restaurant at Friday Harbor House
What people are saying
Had the braised beef short rib, lady had the halibut and asparagus, we also got the crab appetizer and holy smokes, that was the best meal I've had in a very long time. Sat outside and watched the boats and planes with a glass of vino and a great meal, service was prompt and friendly. Very happy!
It was hard to find, as there is no signage anywhere for the restaurant… but having finally found it walking into the guest check-in, I was able to get the epic breakfast I was looking for. Wonderful Views. Excellent food they actually did have real Canadian back bacon on the eggs Benny - yahoo! Very good and would highly recommend breakfast or dinner there.
THE place to go for brunch on San Juan Island. My party of 6 came in on Mother’s Day without a reservation and they threw a table together for us. Our server Emma was so accommodating and friendly. The views are unbeatable. Highly recommend any dish with the potatoes as they are perfectly crispy. The jam is also amazing. The mimosas were also very good.
Best food on the island. Amazing service very caring and patient. Celebrated our 5 year anniversary and they made us feel wanted and important. Even came in very early for our reservation and they had a seat ready for us anyways .as well as offered us a better seat as it opened up . Food was amazing. Had a few cocktails that were probably in my top 3 .
5/5 on the service and atmosphere, and presentation. However the food itself as other reviews here have mentioned is mediocre at best. I ordered the blackberry prawns and hominy and everything on my plate was so over-smoked it was almost like eating straight cigarette smoke. Sad because the dish has so much potential for flavor. My boyfriend ordered the wild king salmon and his salmon was a little undercooked and had hardly any flavor. They should have smoked his and not mine. His cabbage salad was so bitter neither of us could eat it and we both love cabbage and greens. The appetizers weren’t bad, but overpriced as well in my opinion for what you get. The only thing that blew us away was surprisingly the tortilla chips that came with the crab dip. They were really good. We love settings and atmospheres like this restaurant provides, but unfortunately the food just did not measure up.
