    Fish tacos are awesome - love the seared tuna tacos and halibut tacos! All the food is really good, good drinks and best of all escape from being landlocked and enjoy island living

    Awesome location and food, friendly staff. Be prepared to wait for a table. It's worth the wait.

    Great place for lunch on a floating restaurant watching the boats go by. You can drive or come by boat.

    Don't be afraid on sunny days because the bar and patio area has a huge covered seating area for those afraid of getting fried by the sun! The cadillac margaritas and fish and chips are fantastic!

    Make sure to arrive early to get your name on list for seating on sunny days. (Duh!) Perhaps get a buddy to head early before work is over to get a table? :-) Also Island Soft Tacos are great!

    They've doubled the size from years past, and upped the food quality. My secret favorite place in Portland!

    Note "water side" by your name on the list ;-) Also, Island Burger + Jalapenos + leftover onion petals from appetizer = booya!
