    Lovely day to enjoy a seafood lunch overlooking the marina. Great setting and ambience; restaurant is nicely appointed and well laid out. Caesar salad was good but a little too cheesy for my taste. Bouillabaise soup was very good - my first time with a creamy base but quite tasty. The cod and salmon were delicious as were the rest of the seafood. Overall, an outstanding meal which was pleasantly surprising since it’s in such a touristy area.

    The view can’t be beat, and the food was very good. Our server wasn’t the best- a bit abrupt and not particularly friendly or attentive. Overall, a great experience and we’d go back.

    We are regulars. It was Easter Sunday and when our waitress came to the table she observed the closed menus and just stared at us with a raised eyebrow, apparently our cue to order. Very odd, the rest of the dinner she barely uttered 10 words. Silently put down the check, ran the credit card and said Happy Easter.

    The food was good for the most part (the Dungeness crab risotto was okay) and the views are wonderful. The service could be better. All and all, we would go back but not our favorite restaurant

    Great burger. Delicious chicken. Veggie entree outstanding. And the salmon was spectacular! Save room for the skillet cookie, the key lime mousse and the sundae!

    We always have a great time at Downriggers. Friendly, helpful and attentive staff. Quality food. Excellent service. Tonight, one of our entreés just wasn’t well sorted, so the team swapped it out with something else. I appreciate their observation and handling it. We love this restaurant so much.
