Downriggers on the Water -Food CA (Near Port Angeles)

5 /5 Sadie Calhoun: My dad and I are visiting here from out of state and stopped here for lunch/dinner. We started off with the poutine and it was amazing. Some of the best we’ve had. He had the salmon and chips which he absolutely loved. I had one of the burgers and it came on a pretzel bun and a house sauce. It was delicious. I ate about half of it. We would definitely come back here again.

4 /5 lance hanson: Food price / quality (value) rating 8. The atmosphere is seaside tourist restaurant. Next to the ferry wharf in a multi-use building that includes an ice cream shop, low end art gallery, and game arcade, this restaurant also has mediocre ocean views. The restaurant itself is sparsely decorated, with a four seat bar, a bar dining room, and a larger dining room. The menu is pretty middle of the road. I had the Chicken Oscar which included a very small chicken breast filet, four nice, thin asparagus spears, and about three tablespoons of lobster meat and a nice Bernaise sauce. They allowed me to substitute a baked potato for rice. The entree was well made and tasty. The wife had the Cashew Vegetable Stir Fry, and it was quite large with a tangy teriyaki sauce. The vegetables werent crispy, and it had a little too much teriyaki sauce. The service was very good.

3 /5 Char Lopez: Solid Happy Hour with Friendly Service We stopped by Downriggers on the Water for happy hour and were pleased with the selection. The tempura asparagus and French dip sliders were definite highlights, fresh, flavorful, and nicely portioned for the price. Dont order the onion rings. The staff was friendly and service was prompt, which made for a relaxed experience. While the restaurant does offer water views, they weren’t especially memorable, and nothing to write home about. Overall, a good place to grab happy hour bites with attentive service and a casual atmosphere.

4 /5 James Curdy: Food was ok but nothing special. Lavender lemondrop was good with nice presentation but pretty spendy. Crab melt and shrimp were ok and the rice was good but asparagus was very tough and not too edible. We just expected more for being on the ocean and paying that much for what seemed like a nice place.

4 /5 Steve: Typical sit-down restaurant at a tourist trap - if you can call the wharf that. Seafood - crab cakes and clam chowder - was decent but a bit light on flavor and seasoning. Given the location and price, I expected more. Great service, relaxing atmosphere, and the ocean views added to the dining experience. Probably wont be back for the food but maybe for drinks and the view.
