I had a fantastic experience at the Friday Harbour Lake Club Restaurant! The staff are incredible, and I want to give a special shoutout to Yashuir, who made us feel exceptionally welcome. The food and drinks were top-notch, and the facilities at the Lake Club are perfect for relaxation. The ambiance is beautiful, making it an ideal spot to spend your day unwinding. I highly recommend visiting this gem for a delightful dining experience!

Never thought I would be putting a review up about a washroom but here I am because with kids I have never been so happy that there were clean private public washrooms. Only disappointment about our experience was that the store that was advertising mini doughnuts and had toys and rides displayed in their window was closed. But overall was a great evening out with the family. Got to see Santa and his elves

What a lovely place! We rented a small condo through VRBO in between Christmas and New Year’s. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate so we didn’t get to look around as much as we had wanted. Nevertheless, we had an amazing time. It’s such a pretty place… We have since decided to keep Friday Harbour on our summer bucket list to visit. This time of year, though, was magical - the placed was fully decorated for the holidays ~ Beautiful decorations! We tried a few of the restaurants during our stay; you truly can’t go wrong with any of them. Culinary bliss! Our favourite is the Lake Club by far!

Beautiful day spent at Friday Harbour. The boardwalk and promenade was super clean and not too busy. Lots of shops to enjoy and food options. Indoor and outdoor dining available. Public restrooms are clean and easy to find. Lots of areas to sit and enjoy the view.

Friday Harbour is a pleasant and well-maintained destination best suited for a relaxed day trip or short stay rather than a long vacation. It’s ideal if you’re looking for waterfront views, a nice meal, and a calm atmosphere without traveling too far from the city.

A great place to hangout a have some food in one of their restaurants. Very cool Marina. Like the complex the area is well maintained and for Halloween they have cool decorations We went for a couple of drinks then a coffee and walk around , makes a perfect evening. I used the public bathroom and they were clean. That is an extra point hahha I can't wait to be during Christmas celebration,they said it's pretty and with extra vendors during that season.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Friday Harbor Christmas Market delivered a solid holiday experience. Well organized, great setup, and a good mix of vendors and activities. The standout feature was the free Santa photo in front of the massive Christmas tree — a great touch and easily the best part of the event. It’s a nice option for families or anyone looking to enjoy a classic Christmas market atmosphere.
