"The halibut portion was a bit small for the price, but the clams were very fresh and delicious. I sat on the patio with a wonderful atmosphere and a beautiful view of Mount Rainier from my table. We really enjoyed being here. The servers and bartenders greeted everyone with warm smiles, which made the experience feel very welcoming."

"Had the cioppino which was different from others I've had, but still good. They use salmon, no crab. I don't recall any calamari or mussels. Very nice place with a great neighborly feel."

"Absolutely incredible!!! Delicious food, wonderful atmosphere, the most friendly welcoming staff. Highly highly recommend. Also great selection of beers on tap. Update! Went with a friend today and got a bloody mary and ribeye steak. The steak was PHENOMENAL. Genuinely the best steak I have had in Washington."

"This place had exactly what we were looking for. A nice overlook of the harbor on the outside and the inside looked quite nice but we stayed outside. The selection of food was decent, I enjoy having specials that don't show up on the menu. Everything had great flavor, unfortunately they had run out of a few beer selections but we were able to make do."

"Just had lunch at The Waterfront Grill in WA 98346. It was pretty busy, thankfully we found parking. I got the halibut and fries - it was a bit dry, honestly. My friend got the cioppino, which was interesting, but a small portion for the price. The staff seemed friendly enough, though a little slow. They could maybe offer more drink options, I kept hearing "I don't know?""
