This is a cosy little restaurant tucked away behind a warehouse, a few minutes walk from the ferry jetty. It is a bit difficult to find at night, and I recommend carrying a flashlight if you decide to walk there in dark. When we reached there for dinner, they had run out of their sole vegetarian entree (this is a... More

This is truly one of the best restaurants I have eaten anywhere in the world and I've eaten in some of the highest Michelin rated restaurants in Europe and around the world. The food was perfectly prepared, fresh and the server was able to tell me what I could eat with my food allergies or they were able to accomodate... More

This place is amazing. I had read reviews about it, and the woman at the San Juan Winery suggested it, so we called for a reservation. When we arrived, our table was the only one that was unoccupied. The service was GREAT. The food was PHENOMENAL. It's a bit difficult to find, but boy is it worth it!

I sat at the bar, had a great meal, good service. Really enjoyed the garden atmosphere and the live music.

The building housing the restaurant was so warm and cozy inside with lots of beautiful woods and stain glass with artisan pieces throughout. We arrived late in the evening and they were able to accommodate despite the crowd and only two serving/hosting. The... More

On a recent impromtu trip to Friday Harbor we decided to spend the night. I pulled out my handy cell phone app and chose, based on reviews, the Backdoor Kitchen. It just happened to be right across the road from the Tucker House Inn where we were staying so we didn't have trouble finding it. (I noticed a lot of... More

Went based on Yelp and found the favorable reviews and directions helpful and true. Nice atmosphere, good food, competent service but not highly personable. Recommend reservations - might get treated better. When you are in the parking lot of the warehouse, go to the back left corner and follow the path...really!

First, it is very difficult to find. We parked in a small lot that was behind some building and you have to walk around the back of this building (sorry, don't remember what type of business was in this building) and then you'll see tiny white, glistening lights and that is the outside sitting area of the Backdoor Kitchen. Really,... More

Our dinner was superb. Atmosphere cozy and relaxed. Staff wonderful. Such a great evening. It would be hard to find this restaurant unless recommended by someone.
