The Restaurant at Friday Harbor House is a hidden gem nestled in the picturesque setting of Friday Harbor, Washington. Though the entrance can be tricky to find, patrons are rewarded with breathtaking views of the harbor and expertly crafted dishes that make the search worthwhile. Jeff Lawrence raved about the braised beef short rib and the halibut, emphasizing that it was one of the best meals he has had in a long time. The outdoor seating adds to the charm, allowing diners to enjoy their meals while watching boats and planes come and go.

Breakfast is also a standout here, as highlighted by Chant Elle, who appreciated the authentic Canadian back bacon on her Eggs Benedict. This restaurant is perfect for brunch lovers, proving that whether it's breakfast or dinner, the culinary offerings are exceptional. Peggy Borrok commended the attentive service and the delicious eggs benedict along with gluten-free options.

If you're a fan of plant-based fare, be sure to try the beyond burger, which Deejay C declared the best he’s ever had—a testament to the kitchen's commitment to quality. With their diverse menu and scenic atmosphere, The Restaurant at Friday Harbor House promises an unforgettable dining experience. It’s a place where good food meets a stunning locale, ensuring you’ll leave eager to return.

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.

We sat on the patio and it was lovely. Server was attentive, and everyone enjoyed their food very much. The eggs Benedict and bagel with lox were delicious, and the potatoes were perfectly done! Bonus- they have some gluten free options as well.

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 the beyond 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 for a 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 of flavor. Amazing! The service was so friendly and quick. Since it's fall season the deck is fully closed so seats are limited What a way to start our day! We'll definitely be back!

Had the smoked salmon and crab appetizers, loved the crab only liked the salmon. Had the Stuffed Portobello for my main and loved that too. My company had the rockfish sandwich and loved it. Seriously enjoyed our whole meal, along with the view and very nice waiter. Absolutely coming back!! Can't beat that view too.

We came here for breakfast on a Sunday. We had no reservation, but had no wait. We had the chicken fried steak and eggs and the classic eggs benedict. The standout was the guava lemonade! All the food was great and the atmosphere was perfect. We didn't catch our waitresses name, but we asked her to take a photo of us and she went out of her way to make sure we got a good one in front of the marina with the bright morning sun on us. Thank you so much again!

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 .
