My girlfriend and I had a great time here. Fortunately, beat the rush and were able to get a window seat overlooking Crescent Bay during sunset. The Pinot was great , the food pleasant, and the service helpful. Our only complaint was how two six top tables and two, two tops were seated right on top of each other in... More

I heard rave reviews about this place and thought the food was good and the soup excellent. I had halibut, a nice portion and fresh but not a whole lot of flavor for the price. Maybe I just like spicy food too much.

First time was pretty good. Great gorgonzola pizza and wonderful salad. Second time pizza crust was horrible and when I asked the waiter what was up with the crust, her response was "the cook was experimenting with pizza crusts" Come on! Lets have the tried and true! I am not paying for experimentation, I want consistently good food! I don't... More

This is one of the places Sitkas Eagle Bay Inn recommended. Loved the food and that it is also welcoming to families. A very short and beautiful walk, easy for kids too!

A wonderful place to sit and watch the harbor. The light as the sunset was beautiful. The food is fair but the view unbeatable.

The food has been good every time I have gone. The view is amazing! It overlooks the water. It's quiet and laid back. The only complaint is the hours. They are open such short and sometimes odd hours.

Homemade bread and fresh halibut made this meal delicious. Good and friendly service. My husband and I heard about this place from the hotel clerk who said it was her favorite. We had a very good meal.

Came into on a Holland America cruise, but that's another review. This restaurant was way overpriced, and if the people running it are the owners, then they have no idea how to run a business. No people skills whatsoever, very poor service, it would have been better to eat on the ship. $25 for 2 crablegs is a but overboard.... More
