Had dinner here recently and really enjoyed it. We had a table by the window with a great view of the harbor. The waitress was very friendly and provided great service. The salads had a nice dressing, the clam chowder was tasty, and the crab cakes and shrimp were good as well. We rounded out dinner with the brownie dessert,... More

We went in with a party of 4 and each ordered something different. For me, they hade at the clam chowder. My fish dish and that of the other two fish eaters in my party was excellent - seasoned perfectly and cooked to perfection. As you would expect in this type of waterfront, fishing community, all the fish dishes were... More

My son and I ate an early dinner here last week and had a good experience. We sat on the bar side of the restaurant and enjoyed a view of the harbor. The bread and garlic butter is as good as advertised. The calamari makes a wonderful appetizer with good flavor. We were taking a break from seafood and settled... More

Downriggers has good food at moderate prices. Right on the water, has an excellent view of the harbor area. A good selection served by a friendly staff.

However, I'm not fond of seafood so I had the 3-meatloaf which was good. The goat cheese/pear chutney appetizer was excellent

We stopped in for lunch here on our first day in the island and had to come back again because it was just so good. Our second visit was on a sunny day so we were able to sit outside on their deck. My husband and I both agreed "it just doesn't get any better than this." Our daughter loved... More

I live in Washington, am an avid fisherman and connoisseur of fine seafood dining. I work for a local tribe as a habitat biologist and therefore am not a stranger to seafood. That being said, I think the halibut and salmon that my mother and I had for dinner was some of the best I have ever eaten. The fish... More

Our food was really good, but a little over-priced. I don't know if I would eat there again, but the food was definitely good. The staff was nice, but not overly friendly. Order the bread and garlic butter. Its REALLY good! I had the calamari (an appetizer) and I REALLY liked it! Its not prepared as your typical calamari rings.... More

Downriggers is a great restaurant. My friends and I dined there 3 times in 2 days! Scallop sliders--outstanding with a little bite! Shrimp Scampi was loaded with shrimp and a very tasty sauce. Leslie and other staff were friendly and made us very welcome. Hence, 3 visits in 2 days!
