The food was great. The restaurant is built over the water with a great view. It was a great romantic dinner for my finace and I on her birthday. We loved it and will definitely go back. more

My wife and I enjoyed our dinner served by Kris. We thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere, the food preparation and the fine service. A great eatery is suboptimal without great management and service. This restaurant has all great qualities. We will enjoy future dinners there for memorable occasions. more

We walked about town looking for the perfect spot to have dinner for our anniversary. We perused several menus and wine lists and finally came to The Place. We were first intrigued by the fact that it was so close to the water, then by the delicious menu posted at the door. We decided to take a peek inside. We... more

My husband and I were hoping to cap a wonderful day of whale watching with Captain Jim with a nice dinner at The Place Bar and Grill. We had made a reservation for 7:45 p.m. and showed up on time, only to be given a space at the bar since all tables were taken. We had our drinks and waited... more

Ate dinner on a Thursday. Fantastic oyster appetizer. Average Hallibut dish. Pricey. Not a lot of choices in Friday Harbor with a view. This is the most romantic. more

We ate at The Place Bar & Grill in Friday Harbor for the first time in June 2009. It was recommended to us by the hostess of the B & B where we stayed, and she didn't steer us wrong. It was wonderful. The restaurant is located right on the water next to the ferry terminal, and we were seated... more

This is still my wife's favorite place that we have ever eaten. The food, staff and view were amazing. We were eating as all of the boats were coming in. Just a wonderful experience! When we went, it was still called, "The Place Next to the Ferry". more
