★★★★★ 5.0 Charene Robinson · Nov 2025

Absolutely love this place. Great location right on the dock, the vibe is very old school diner, but it’s also new age. The service was great we didn’t wait long for our food. Food was delicious!! We all had different meals between Benedict’s, omelette and scramble, everything was delicious. Would come here again! Of course food prices are just going up and up. Three of us for breakfast was $100, but I think that’s becoming the norm.

★★★★★ 5.0 World Traveller · Nov 2025

My friends and I stopped by for breakfast on a weekday and were seated right away with prompt coffee service. The coffee was on the lighter side—personally, I prefer a stronger brew to start the day. Their menu is extensive, featuring all the classic breakfast staples. I ordered the smoked salmon omelette, which came in a generous portion and was absolutely delicious. The total cost for one coffee and the omelette, including tax and tip, came to nearly $40. It's not an everyday breakfast spot, but we thoroughly enjoyed the waterfront view and the quality of the food.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Ian Ward · Mar 2026

I've been coming here since I was a child, and the food has always been consistently and solidly good. The servers are always smiling and very cordial, the place is clean, well run and well maintained, and there are tons of regulars ordering "the usual," which is the sign of a community pillar, and I love that for them. What I can't continue to stomach are the prices. My partner and I recently both had scrambles and large orange juices, and we walked out, after tip, having paid $90. That is, frankly, outrageous. Every time I go back, the prices are higher than the last time. Certain other diners not far away give me the same amount or even more food for 2/3 the price. I truly don't get it. I've had steak dinners cheaper than this per head.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Binit Banerjee · Sep 2024

Nice place for brunch. It was a bit busy on a Sunday morning and we had about 15 mins wait. my wife got the omelette with bacon and greens which was pretty nice. The biscuit which came with it was a good combination. I took blueberry pancakes with sausage links. Overall a nice place and parking was easy with good and fast service.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Paul R · Dec 2024

This is our go to diner for Breakfast & Lunch in magnolia, QA, & interbay areas of Seattle. Extremely consistent food and service is really good considering they get really busy. They recently changed their fry’s- still good but the previous ones were a step above. Views of the NW fishing fleet and the Fisherman’s Memorial brings even more to the experience.
