We recently ate here on a "girls night out". Freshly sliced bread is brought to the table along with saucers of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. We ordered the calamari and the artichoke dip for appetizers. The calamari was a big disappointment, especially for $10! All we could taste was the breading, the addition of salt helped the breading but not the overall flavor. We really enjoyed the artichoke dip but found the portion size small. The tortilla chips to dip seemed more like fried pita chips, they were yummy but there were way more chips than dip. Portion sizes of the entrées were large. It seemed like the fish portions were enough for two people. The salmon and halibut entrée was tasty. Beware that the blackened halibut is quite spicy! I had the seafood bowl. It contained crab, prawns, mussels and clams. I thought it was ironic that a place named after a crabbing expedition in Puget Sound serves king crab instead of Dungenous. My entrée was advertised as coming with crab legs. Instead I got a hunk of body. It was very over salted. I only had two prawns in my dish but that's ok because they were overcooked to the consistency of rubber! The mussels and clams were delicious. Everything came out swimming in a tasty broth. There was nothing to soak up the broth with so I asked for more bread and enjoyed every last drop. For dessert, we got the ice cream sundae. The chocolate sauce was very tasty. The views are great, right on the water. The prices seemed steep for Coupeville, the entrées were in the $20 range. Also, the water in Coupeville isn't very tasty. Get a beverage or ask for a slice of lemon to disguise the water's flavor.
