Found this place on Google – big day hiking & menu looked GREAT. Husband was skeptical because it’s a hotel restaurant with 3.6 on Google and minimal food photos online. Waitress recommended halibut and what a stellar rec!! We got the Apple & Pear Salad, Side of Mac, and Halibut Fish and Chips. Everything was phenomenal – ale beer batter on the fish was not greasy & flavorful. Fish was perfectly flakey. Coleslaw, salad and fries were also great. Mac & cheese was creamy and delicious. Overall – don’t let the reviews or lack of photos deter you (adding 3 here – camera did not eat first). The waterfront view is lovely during sunset, service is relatively quick & attentive, and food is great!

Heads-up: There’s a 2.5% credit card processing fee, avoid it by paying cash or using a debit card.
Located onsite at the Red Lion Hotel, this spot has pleasant outdoor seating with umbrellas, offering half a view of the bay and pedestrian walkway, and half of the wharf. Breakfast and lunch are served on one side, dinner at The Compass Room on the other.
Food quality is typical hotel restaurant fare, nothing remarkable. Daily happy hour runs 4–6 pm. Our server was excellent, especially considering he had four tables and we were the only ones seated outside.
What we ordered:
-Oyster shooter ($2 HH): Far too large for a shooter, skip it.
-Shrimp tacos (2 for $12 HH): No flavor.
-Grilled cheese & tomato bisque ($14 HH): Nice crispy sourdough; bisque had a bitter aftertaste.
-Fish & chips (regular price): Just okay; fries were stale.
Free public parking at the wharf across the street, plus free street parking. Clean restrooms with toilet seat covers.

I’ll be very curt, I only really go here for the cocktails. It’s usually the least crowded bar in town. Good variety, quality spirits, the staff usually know their way around liquor.
As far as food goes, when I choose to dine here, it isn’t unusual for me to spend way too much money here. I’ll order 3 dishes and 4-5 cocktails and rack up a $200+ tab. I think the service and kitchen staff are great lads and lasses. A little inconsistent, but I know what I’m in for when I choose to eat there.
I do ruminate on the grandeur of years passed, however. Where Red Lion and by extention its eateries were some of, if not the best Port Angeles had to offer. It speaks of a glorious past, now well beyond its prime. With a little work and concise vision (New head chef, or management?), it could put Port Angeles back on the map as a vacation destination. It’s sad to bear witness that slow decline into obscurity and mediocrity.
It’s hard for me to dine-in with the breakfast crowd, so my only experience with their brunch menu has been delivery-only. Which was also just, fine, nothing special. Even with said lack of experience, I get the feeling it’s meant to cater to tourists from out of town who don’t know better and default to them instead of expending mental effort to research to find another local place.
I wouldn’t bemoan a tourist-trap hotel bar/restaurant for its minor failings. Although, in my experience that’s where some of the highest levels of culinary excellence may be found. The views are nice, the tables are clean. It is, what it is. But I understand many people’s frustrations when they can vividly imagine what a fine dining institution it could be.
-Cheers.

The hotel’s computer system went down, so I came here for a bite and a drink. The crab Mac & Cheese is fabulous, and the portion size is huge with lots of crab in the dish.

After going to hurricane ridge we stopped for lunch. They weren’t too crowded but there was only one server. She was attentive and had great recommendations. They were also having some sort of banquet on the other side of the restaurant. Our food took a little longer but we didn’t mind the wait. Beautiful views regardless of the rain. The fries were a little too crunchy for my liking but everything else was great. Not pictured- my husband’s halibut, asparagus and Mac n cheese.

Had dinner here last night — honestly, one of the strangest dining experiences ever.
I ordered oysters expecting something fresh, but what came out were deep-fried oysters covered in breadcrumbs. I’ve never seen anyone treat oysters like chicken nuggets before — and the worst part, they were full of sand. I took one bite and that was it.
I politely asked if I could switch to another table by the window — the one with a better view of the red boat — but they refused, even though there were no other customers around. I just don’t get it.
Between the weird food and the cold service, it really wasn’t worth the stop. Maybe the oysters weren’t the only ones feeling battered that night.

Five stars for a diner-style restaurant. Clean. Waterfront views. Friendly staff. Nice menu selection for breakfast. Generous portions. Great taste. Average price. All American Breakfast ($13) and Avocado Toast ($12). Two thumbs up!

I absolutely love coming here. I travel frequently to the Port Angeles area for work and I exclusively eat here. The bar staff at night is amazing. Nikita, Marie, Courtney are amazing and make this experience so wonderful. Super friendly, attentive, and just wonderful people. Some of best service I have ever received. This place is my go to. Breakfast is equally amazing as well. Shelly and Alex are amazing and make such a welcome and inviting place to have breakfast. The cook Danny comes out and engages with his patrons and more cooks can learn a lesson about customer service by following his example. Love this place and the people here are amazing. You would me missing out on the best customer service in the Port Angeles area of you don’t eat/drink here. Ask about the 12th man shot at the bar. So good.

Our server was friendly but it took quite a long time to get our food. it was during happy hour time and it seemed we we were out of sinc since we odered regular food. For the price I expected a little better service and maybe enough butter for my baked potato. I expected some sour creme but was never offered any. had to ask for more butter. the view of course of the harbor was great but we chose to leave the area for our next meals. I would not be recommending this place to anyone. when your treated more as a problem than a customer it does no reflect well

Went to the Crab House for lunch. Sat on deck in the sun. Food was ok – pleasant display and an ok taste. I have had way worse. Ordered fish and chips and my friend ordered pan fried oysters. Service was good.
