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!

We ordered the coconut shrimp and upgraded to onion rings which were fantastic. Plenty big to share. Cute vibe. We sat on the patio. Drinks were a bit watered down. I got the jalapeño margarita and didn't taste much tequila. Hubby ordered frozen pina colada and said it was okay. Service was good and it's a good place for lunch.

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!

After recently taking an Alaskan cruise which was less than a positive experience, my brother decided to lift my spirits with tropical vibes and a trip to the Island Cafe. The cafe sits on a dock floating on the water and offers wonderful views of the marina, boats sailing by, and curious duck friends. The cafe is decorated with fishing nets adorned with plastic sea animals, a ship's steering wheel, coconut shell creations, and colorful signs. Jimmy Buffet music and delightful island songs play in the background. The cafe is a perfect escape on a sunny, summer day. We ordered chips and salsa before deciding on our main courses. How can you go wrong? We finally decided on the halibut fish and chips and the chicken bacon ranch sandwich. I also ordered two fruity, tropical drinks, and my Island Vice, a blend of a strawberry daiquiri and a pina colada packed more of a punch than any drink I had on my entire cruise! My brother enjoyed his fish and chips, and my sandwich was good, but there was only a small drizzle of ranch. I found myself dipping my sandwich in the Thousand Island I had requested for my fries. Since we sat at the bar, service was immediate and our bartender was friendly and nice. I look forward to infusing more of my summer with tropical cocktails and a view of the water again soon!

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!!!!
