   A very disappointing experience. Server brought wrong order, and argued with us saying it was correct. While she offered to make it right for that one dish, we had already waited over an hour for our food, so that really wasn’t an option for the table and we accepted the order as delivered. Salmon was not a good cut and poorly prepared (in WA ?!?) , clams were good. Had to ask for water although busboys were just standing around. Only recommended for view, but keep expectations low for food and service.

   I am usually disappointed by the food at restaurants with a view but not this one. The seafood cobb salad had alot of crab and shrimp. The crab artichoke dip was great and the smoked salmon plate was yummy. The mimosa flight was fun.

   We ate out on the deck, so I can't speak to the "ambience" or noise inside. Nice view of the bay, though the chairs weren't terribly comfortable. The server seemed as clueless about the different ales as my husband was, so he had to just choose blind. We weren't set up with a heater, though we were in the shade, about 62 degrees, with a good breeze, but thankfully, another party left soon after our arrival and offered to move theirs over. The menu stated "broccolini"as the side, but what came was asparagus. The flat iron steak itself was excellent. The grilled onion would have been better more caramelized. The cheesecake was ok. Service was better than we had the previous night across the street. We were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary, but other than "Oh, hey, that's great!" there was no attempt to make the meal special - something that every restaurant we've ever been to on a big anniversary has done, even if it's just to make the caramel drizzle extra fancy on the dessert. It doesn't take that much to make people feel special. Even Red Robin can do it, but, not, apparently, Downrigger.

   Our favorite part of the evening was enjoying their creative cocktails on the deck. Dinner was priced as expected for a nice dinner. Restaurant was busy and noisy inside.

   Only 4 seafood items on menu and they were out of the fish and chips. Very high prices. Service very slow. I would not go here again. The halibut that I got was delicious and as not even on the menu.

   We had a reservation and ended up getting seated about 30 minutes late then waited another 35 minutes to order. I was very disappointed. Food is good but we were unable to relax because we were worried about missing the ferry.

    The food was the biggest let down. It’s a restaurant trying to be fancy and charging fancy prices…. But quality was low. Drinks were great, atmosphere pretty good, but $60 for a cold and bland steak- no thanks! Go and just get drinks and snacks. Skip the entrees.

    The oysters were good, the food was bland. My friend had the sauerkraut smoke salmon ruben sandwich which was way to sour and salty and not enough salmon and way too much sauerkraut. Wouldn’t recommend that sandwich or the clam chowder barely had any clams. The view was great tho!

    Food was pretty tasty, a bit overpriced but we expected that for the location and season. View was great. Our waitress was kind when we saw her but she was mostly unavailable. After a particularly long wait my husband decided to just walk up to the bar and order a few fruit lemonades for our children, on the way their he sees a different waitress who tells him it’s okay to order from the bar. Once he reaches the bar and starts to order he was verbally berated by the manager for getting up from his seat and ordering himself. It was a very unpleasant experience and tainted our entire dinner. Probably won’t be coming back.

    As a local Islander we love Downriggers, so when family was coming to town for one night only, there was no question of where to go. The special butter that goes with the fresh bread, the salads, steaks, fresh seafood and my favorite The Buddha Bowl. If we want anyone to get a taste of the San Juan's we bring them here. Enjoy!~

    It was the second and the last time I went to this restaurant. First of all, our waitress was very passive aggressive. Just to give you an idea, I asked her if the lemonade was fresh or concentrated. She said it would be $20 if it was fresh. Why not just answer the question as opposed to using such kind of unprofessional commentary? She never checked on us after we got the food. Next, a piece of plastic was found in our food. The lady who came to get our plates was made aware of this and she didn’t have any sense of apology. All she said was she would inform staff in the kitchen and walked away. At that point, we somehow understood that for some reason, we were not welcome there or their service was generally horrendous. We decided to pay our bill and leave without reporting it to the manager as we had not had any positive vibe since our arrival at the restaurant. A picture of plastic found in the food is attached.

    Our service was great and our meals were delicious, though the mashed potatoes were quite “chilly”. The view is terrific and an attractive feature for the restaurant, but generally speaking, the seating (the chairs) were uncomfortable and rather rough looking, which detracted from our otherwise great experience. A restaurant that serves $42 dinners should have a little more comfort and ambiance, it seems.
