amazing place to grab a beer just off of the cruise ship. Wonderful seafood sampler. Hard-working staff upstairs and downstairs. Definitely had a great cider here.

Super fast service. Asked our private tour guide where to get food and he said here! So glad we didn't walk by just because it was at the dock. We split the fish sampler (two filets of 3 different fishes, a chowder, and a coleslaw) and a side of the corn fritters. Bomb food. Lightly fried fish, thick lightly smoked seafood chowder?!, everything was so fresh, homemade dill tartar sauce, honey butter with the fritters I can't even describe. We don't normally eat fried food, but this was worth it. Didn't feel heavy or greasy after and we finished everything except all the fries.

We had the mac and crab and the crab roll (very flavorful) Our server's name was Aiden, he provided excellent service and kept our glasses full, we also had the owner come over and ask how everything was, it is nice to see the appreciation towards the customers! I would highly recommend visiting this venue. Great job guys!!

Pricy, but worth it. Had the crab macaroni and cheese, a side of fries, and a huckleberry margarita. The mac & cheese was very creamy, and while it wasn't "loaded" with crab, there was a reasonable amount. And it was definitely fresh. Yum! [Although Google only gave me the option to "recommend" the fries, I'd also "recommend" the mac & cheese to anyone who likes a good creamy mac & cheese.] The fries were nicely done yellow potato fries, soft but crispy outside, not overdone. The server was attentive, kind and knowledgeable (the fish I saw through the windows, jumping out of the water outside in the bay, were apparently most likely pink salmon). Food came quickly and was well cooked. The atmosphere was nice, and not overly crowded, surprising considering our cruise ship had just recently docked [likely, folks were taking the shuttle into town and not hanging out around the dock]. I was seated almost immediately and able to sit back, relax, and enjoy the view.

This is a fantastic place to have a relaxing crab meal! The crab was 10/10 one of the best crabs I’ve ever had. The service was great. Did not feel rushed at any point of my meal. Staff was very kind and helpful. We were taken great care of. The prices were half of what we paid in Ketchikan and it was much better crab. Do not miss this spot!!!

This place is exactly what Sitka has always needed! A perfect spot to sit & watch the ships in the harbor. The Huckleberry Lemonade is TO DIE FOR. And the crab dip is *chefs kiss* Wish I lived here all year long.

This was our favorite place to eat while in Sitka, and we tried a lot of places. Not only was the food amazing, but the service was exceptional and the view was beautiful! We sat outside while it was sunny. Such a great place! And prices were great for how great the food and service was!
