Great view of Roche Harbor. The food was delicious and the staff was amazing. They helped me surprise my special lady with a marriage proposal. It was absolutely perfect in every way. And, by the way, she said yes.

This is the fine dining restaurant at the resort and the food was beyond compare. However when you are fine dining it would be nice to have the waiter attend to the pouring of the wine and not to question your request for an ice bucket for the white.

McMillan's Restaurant at Roche Harbor is such an institution for so many of us in the Northwest that one can be a little forgiving - the building, the history, the setting, and the ambiance are all special. Although the prices are high, it is a resort, and one can understand the pricing in that context. However, the food was simply... More

I loved having drinks at the bar and chatting it up with Jimmy. He has stories galore and amazing drink suggestions. Nice view of the sunset over the harbor. The appetizers and dinner selections were too ritzy/expensive/dainty for my taste but our drinks hit the spot. Can't wait to see Jimmy again

The food was quite delicious. I found the diningroom to be a bit stuffy, both the atmosphere and breathing room. The food was good but not spectacular. I understand there have been some staff changes this year so I look forward to trying it again this years. I hear the deserts will be to die for.

The setting is gorgeous. Eat your dinner watching the sunset over Roche Harbor. The restaurant has an extensive but expensive wine list to go along with the expensive food. Yes, it is expensive but worthwhile for a romantic evening. The food was well presented.

Only restaurant to choose from on San Juan Island. Elegant but not snobby. Fabulous view, player piano offers ambience. Waiter went above and beyond to get ne something light and reasonable as I wanted an entree salad, but none listed. Ala carte items, or when we were there four course dinner $49.99. Large wine selection, minimum glass $9.00.

On our recent visit (revisit) to San Juan Island in Washington, we were excited to revisit McMillan's Dining Room in Roche Harbor. We were NOT disappointed! Again great service, great selections, 2007 Louis Martini Cab on the wine list, and this time an excellent, slow cooked Prime Rib selection! RAVE reviews....wonderful food! Visit if you can...it is a bit pricey... More

For 20 years this has been a favorite place of mine to dine out for those special occasions. As far as food goes it can't be beat! This is a restaurant that actually deserves the classification of "fine dining". This is the main 'formal' dining room at the resort. There are 2 other sites for dining also. SERVICE: 5 STARS...
