What our guests are saying

My favorite place to hang out when on the island visiting...always good food and drink, always great service and they are always having fun things scheduled to either watch or participate in. Kim and Rob are the best. Bang Bang Shrimp and tuna poke prepared by Renee was the best!

When I had my boat in Anchor Marina on bethel Island it was always a blast to go for dinner and drinks by boat and then watch the sunset from the bar and then watch to moon rise from the back of my boat!!! Super friendly. Courteous and always Accommodating service and staff. Stiff well drinks and cold draft beer. Gotta luv it!!!
