Love the ambience right on the water and the excellent service. Food is good also. Love their shrimp salad.

Wow- what fun. the location on the the river was awesome! the service was great as well. had the chicken and it was good, not great, but good. the prices were on the higher side, but for the views and relaxed feel no issues! you will need to walk a bit from the parking area but well worth it.

Worth the wait! We decided to stop by here before I flew back home from PDX. Guess it was the first weekend of Joe big for the off season or whatever, so things were chaotic with the seating and such, hostess was very overwhelmed but the ladies seemed to figure it out. We waited at the bar with a drink until our patio table was ready. Bartender girl did a great job with our drinks and was super nice to chat with, all the girls behind the bar were actually! The fish and chips were very good, ended up taking them with me they TSA, haha. My friend liked her chicken tenders as well! The weather was warm and the views were satisfying on a Sunday!

One of my friends recommended this place just because of its ambience. It was my first time here and I already noticed the vibes. The restaurant is located along the marina, overlooking the waters with boats driving by. What's cool is that people can park their boats nearby to the restaurant and dine here. Talk about convenience. I really love the open air dining especially on a nice sunny day. Our server was also friendly and gave us some recommendations. The menu had mainly seafood and island inspired dishes. My friends and I got the halibut fish and chips and their halibut fish tacos. We also ordered the calamari as an appetizer. Overall, the foods were pretty good. The fish were nicely battered and fried crisply. Fries were well seasoned. We asked for a sample of all their sauces to try at no additional charge. Calamari were seasoned well with a chipotle aioli dipping sauce. We came here around lunchtime so it was already filling up. Pro tip: come here early if you want a nice view by the water.

We've been eating here on & off, or we have sandwiches to-go, during our sail with guests, I'm surprise that I've not given them reviews, (I thought I've done that). We were seated right away. This was a perfect day for a picnic by the water, for tomorrow it will be another hot weather day! And we ordered almost right away. Hubby had the Bacon Blue Cheeseburger with Macaroni & Curry Salad for the side. He thought it was excellent! I ordered the Lobster Wrap with coleslaw for the side. It was so thick & soooo good! The table I wanted is closer to the water viewing area, so we can actually seat facing each other, and still be able to enjoy the marina. (I asked to be moved, and they honored it). I love looking at the planters, filled with flowers! Negatives: The toilet, it's a little hard to flush, you have to press it longer, to flush properly. The ramp, too steep! Wear your boat shoes. They don't take group reservations, first come first . . . As we climbed back up the ramp, I spotted a lady struggling to come down, someone who is probably 10-15 years older than me, while her friends were waiting for her to come down. It was the Tuesday, after Labor Day, and we notice they're busy! Don't people have jobs? LOL I see many people, our own age, with their parents, enjoying retirement. That's what we do. . . And they're HERE! Our waitress, is extra friendly, and sexy!

I got a strong Chowder Barge vibe from this place, but with a more tropical theme. We got to sit on the part that bobs up and down. Wheee! They seem to have their share of fruit flies and wasps enjoying the fruity, sugary drinks and we had a flower arrangement on the fence behind us that wanted to join in but otherwise, the staff was friendly and on top of my BF's ever-empty glass of Sprite. The only real question mark was that 45 degree plank that you have to walk down to get to the restaurant. It's the only way to get to the pier from the parking lot that I could see, but I felt danger when my wedge sandals hit the almost smooth surface. I noticed people waited in batches for the people ahead of them to go down so we're not the only ones! Wish they'd fix that. I advise sneakers for visiting this place. Food was great. The Wooden Chicken recently closed near PDX after 40 years in business and we were delighted to see halibut and chips on their menu. The pricing is market but this visit it was $26.95 for 3 pieces and a generous amount of fries which was on par with WC and not as daring as the pricing as you see in the city. I had a bowl of clam chowder and a side of fries. About $20 for the privilege. They offer breaded and seasoned fries which hold up well even as they start to cool. The soup was very creamy and probably a little saltier than I like. I usually like my chowder more flour based due to lactose intolerance and this one had me feeling iffy a few hours later, but I still enjoyed it! We ordered too much. A 2 piece for him and a bowl for me with the fries in the fish and chips would have been perfectly adequate. We'll be back to test that theory!

A cute little spot floating on the dock. You can watch the waves hit the deck as you eat in this appropriately named location. The food is good, I do which more seafood options were available, or at least less fried sea food. But it's good none the less and the drinks are great too. Happy hour is a deal! Service here was quick and helpful. They were pleasant to talk too!

What an interesting place!! I will definitely come back again. It's a restaurant/bar on the marina with great vibes. Open air dining with water flowing by and it almost feels like a mini vacation in Portland. We ordered the special watermelon slushies and they were decent. The flavor was okay, but I don't know if i would order again. The booze all sits on the bottom because it's not premixed - but you choose the alcohol. We got tequila. For a snack, we got the lobster salad stuffed avocado appetizer. It was a strange presentation still in the skin, but in an oval dish. I'm not sure why they didn't peel it. The lobster is finely minced and loses some of its flavor due to that. The mango salsa was okay. All mixed together it tasted pretty good. We only got three pieces of pita while pics show 4. hmmm The fish and chips look good. Think bar menu on the water with tunes like Jimmy Buffett.

This place was the most delightful discovery today. I don't spend much time in this area of town (Hayden Island), and just by chance met up with a friend here. Amazing views, sweet island vibe. Really! I'm like "where am I??" This can't be Portland. This is my new favorite place. I feel like I unearthed this incredible gem, I want to go every weekend. Maybe they don't need to advertise, but I never heard of this place until today. We got there just about 11:45 and every table was full with a waitlist. We had a short wait. Loved the water stations. Mariah was our server, she was very pleasant. In fact, everyone we encountered was very enjoyable. We both had chicken Cesar salads, but everything looked good. Sorry no photos of food or the restaurant, I was just too busy soaking in this heavenly oasis. The only thing to add is if you have any mobility issues it would be a challenge getting up and down the steep ramp to/from the restaurant, unless you're arriving by boat. *They do not take reservations. GO! CHECK! THIS! PLACE! OUT! NOW!!!!

I always enjoy going to Island Cafe even though there may typically be a wait. If you're 21 and up, the bar has open seating and you can usually get seated more quickly. It's a fun spot to go to during the warmer season. The fish and chips is good and I absolutely love the jumbo coconut shrimp. They have some good apps too, I usually like the popcorn shrimp or the onion petals. My go to cocktail is the coconut mojito when I get a drink there, it's always tasty!
