    Our family of 4 had an excellent dinner here at Fish Hopper last night. We arrived early for our reservation. The hostess was very thoughtful in asking us to wait a couple minutes so we could get the window table. We didn't wait long and we're super happy to get the window table so we could watch the ocean and the people. The food was excellent. Special shout out to the Cajun seafood pasta dish (not sure if that's the correct name). We got a huge portion of dungeness crab, plus shrimp and scallops. We felt we got our money's worth and more. The shrimp salad was very good too. I got a very large portion of bacon. Overall we were very satisfied with this restaurant.

    Made a reservation here for our final meal on the island. Was told by multiple people that this is the best place to eat on the island. As a vegan I really appreciated the knowledge and help of our server Howard to accommodate me. My non-vegan family really enjoyed their meals too. Overall it was awesome. Pretty pricey but glad we got to try it.

    We had a late lunch for my husband’s birthday. Everything was stellar, yet again! I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. Put simply, the food is phenomenal, the service is too. We drive over an hour and a half, to come here for all our special occasions. Today we had the Warm Goat and Macadamia nut appetizer followed by Crab and Avocado salad (my favorite) and Shrimp and Crab Cajun pasta. Both excellent. Followed by the house made Piña Colada cake- which is a dreamy concoction of white chocolate mouse , coconut and pineapple chunks that tumble out of the cake. Thanks again for another great birthday!
