Beautiful view, quiet, and a good place for family weekend.

Awesome experience. Great views. Must do. Can drive up to the top!

My granddaughter took me for an after dinner drive, I was very happy with it. At the top, we got outta the car to walk some steps and click some pics!

This place is amazing! We came out on a whim and were pleasantly surprised. We drove to the peak of the mountain but can't wait to come back this summer and just explore the trails. This place is kid friendly and pet friendly but you do need to keep dogs on a leash. Don't lose sight of your kids or dogs!

To anyone who hasn't been here, it's a must. Whether you want to hike up to it, or drive up to it. I've come here more times than I can count over the years because it's the perfect place to just sit, and let your worries go. To clear your head and leave all your negative thoughts. I've often gone up with some snacks, a blanket, and my journal and just sat for hours. This was the view the other day. Foggy, and dreary all over, but as soon as you got to the top you were above it all, and it was sunny, and warm, and it felt like you were above the world looking down.

Great place to rock climb if you’re into that sort of activities. While I didn’t take any of the trails it looked like a great place to take a dog running or just running in general. There’s benches to sit and hand out if you just want to enjoy the view overlooking the waters. The drive to the top is pretty steep and the roads were very narrow but not to narrow that it can’t fit two cars driving opposite directions.

Amazing view, easy drive to the top. Beautiful scenery and some nice built in touches. Highly recommend to get a feel for PNW coastal beauty.

I grew up going to this peak and have gone there every time I'm back in town, so dozens. You can drive up to the top or hike up from below. They recently built a new lookout to the East and I'm thrilled about it! This is a great place to catch a sunrise, sunset, have lunch, take photos or even get engaged 💍. Love Cap Sante!

A great place to see great views morning and night. Come up for a sunrise or and sunset the 360 views don’t disappoint- rotary did a beautiful job on the new additions.

We didn't know this viewing area existed and pretty much stumbled upon it. Great views of the water, town of Anacortes from a nice, high vantage point. The park has been recently re-done with seating areas, walkways, and railings to make for safe viewing.

nice overlook of Anacortes. there's a little trail and lots of places to enjoy the view. Parking can be a little crowded when it's really nice weather. Great place to have a nice picnic

Cap Sante park and view point is a very Awesome view point bring a folding chair and get here early there is about 10 parking spots we saw a lot of people playing with R.C. cars and trucks on the rocks and bolders. And below the park Next to the marina the is a jetty walk out to a gazebo that would be a great place to have a bag lunch.

My brother found this cool viewpoint. You can see the entire town from up there as well as views of the water. Roads are a bit narrow when driving up. There is a small path you can take near the sign for more views. Didn't notice any bathrooms up here. Really cool spot.

Accessing this wonderful view is so easy and worth it. What a gem of a place!

Fun little Saturday market. Bought some gorgeous flowers from guys from Snohomish. And I love my earrings from the lady who like dragon flies!!!!

We are from Colorado and love to find a good farmers market while we are traveling in our camper-van. This market is very nice. We visited in on a warm summer day in August 2022. Nice vendors with a pleasing variety of locally produced food.

Always nice to meander through in the summer, seeing all the fresh produce, good food, arts and music.

This is a 3 star only because there wasn't a whole lot there. Otherwise it was pretty cool. The best part was the mad hatter ice cream place, the dude was super nice and really cool. Loved the attitude and his laugh. I've cream was great!

Very cute market. Lots of handmade crafts and unique items. Good looking food, spices and other condiments. Not a lot of produce being sold.

The place is nice, has some nice art. They were not open as they are only open a few months of the year. So double check they are open before going out of your way to see them.

Such a diverse set of vendors in the summer from veggies, arts, fruits, desserts, cheese, flowers, and food carts! Got all these for only 13$

Great little museum with the history of the local port town of Anacortes.

Interesting but really small. Most of what was on display was for a future rotating exhibit that didn't have any info on it, and there was very little about the history of the town itself

I love the history of Anacortes. Love the historic building.. that actually used to be the Anacortes library. back in the 1900's AND THE 1800'S PRITTY COOL HUH? :)

A nice museum. Lots of old pictures of the history of Anacortes.

This local museum is a gem. Located in a historic library it relays local history and lore.

Small but free and totally worth the stop.

Pretty good collection and knowledgeable staff

Hands down the best clam chowder I have EVER had. I just wish they served it by the gallon.. you will too. The smoked duck toast was perfectly paired with smooth ricotta and macerated fig, giving just a touch of sweetness to balance out the savory. Experience was great. The ambiance was a quaint boutique feel and would highly recommend to anyone in the area. Food came out very quickly, we were able to pop in and out in under an hour as we had an excursion to get to. If you have the opportunity to be waited on by Jessica, your experience will even better. She was all smiles and friendly vibes the whole time.

My father-in-law couldn’t stop praising the food at the restaurant — everything was delicious, though the clam chowder was a little too salty, both the soup and the pork. We also felt that the dessert menu should have been presented earlier, as we were too full by the time we saw it to order anything sweet. The staff were professional and very attentive. When a baby high chair was unavailable, they went the extra mile to find a suitable alternative. They also took the time to explain which plates were meant for which dishes and made sure to check in with us about how the food was. Another lovely touch: the children’s menu was presented in the form of a storybook. While waiting for the food, I let my daughter read it. When the staff noticed she was getting bored reading the same book, they thoughtfully brought us two more storybooks. It was a very sweet gesture that made us feel well cared for. Overall, a thoughtful and well-trained team that made the experience very pleasant.

This is some of the best food I have ever had in WA State. I don’t know where to begin. The Scottish egg, amazing, the French onion soup, as spectacular as it was scalding. I am so glad we stopped here. This place was amazing.

I always have a hard time rating high end food as it's hard to justify $100 steaks but the price to quality level here was pretty great. Got the Duck L'Orange and Black Cod. Both were pretty great but the duck stole the show.

Yummy!!!! We came during “social hour” with a limited menu. So so so good. We had the Scotch eggs, clam chowder, tiger shrimp, patatas, and Caesar salad. So so so good. The scotch eggs and Patatas were lick your plate clean good! We also had beignets and sorbet as well as a couple of old fashioneds. This place was so good. I literally cannot say that with enough exclamation points. Our waiter Tim was top notch!!

My lady and I had a delightful lunch here. The menu had a number of interesting options. We both really enjoyed our menu items. They were prepared quickly and presented well.The interior was a bit dark but pleasant, and the service was great too. We hope to go back.

James (our waiter), was friendly knowledgeable and made great suggestions. He actually guided us through our wine selections and the meal. We were super impressed with the menu. The choices were innovative and delicious. The French onion soup and duck salad were to die for. The owner Timothy worked right along with his staff and it reflected on the superb friendly service we received.

We went here last fall for my birthday. Place is awesome. Service was great and the food just perfect. We had Tacos, a sandwich, ice cold beer and some really cool shots (I forget the name) Highly recommend that place and would definitely come again.

I found myself in the middle of nowhere again. it was the hot sauce that brought me back to my senses. the texture and flavor of the sauce was absolutely perfect. all time best. all the food textures and flavors were complimentary too. i even made a breakfast sandwich with one of my english muffins, just like when I was a teenager.... and put ALL the home made jam they gave me on the second one. thanks dad!

The food was AMAZING 👏 My biscuits and gravy was delicious. My husband's smash burger was the perfect size for him. One child had a hamburger, the other one had the grilled cheese, both were great for their taste buds. Couldn't snag more pictures because everyone started to eat right away. We will be going back. 😃

I would give it higher but the salt and pepper spice mix on the potatoes and fries were too heavy handed. Otherwise, food is good and perfect after a long day of hiking and touring the islands. Tons of pictures of Dads ergo the name.

I love my Dad so I decided to go to Dads diner. However, my Dad was not there which was unexpected due to the name of the establishment, my only complaint because he’s amazing, search Hurts Like Hell on Spotify ❤️ Seriously though the breakfast looks so good, I arrived later in the afternoon and got Dads Rice Bowl which was dripping with a decadent sauce that is to die for. The server was a very awesome guy who checked on us outside frequently. I asked for an unseasoned burger patty for my dog and she also loves this place. Thank you Dads diner, I will be back.

Awesome diner. Great and varied food selection. Wait staff was friendly and the food was tasty and fresh. There was a mix up with our order, but it was quickly comped with a side of oysters. We had ordered the oyster burger, but received the Oklahoma Fried Onion burger, which was awesome. The oysters were fresh and flavorfull, and the brisket reuben was also great. I would highly recommend you giving.it a.try.

Came in on the Arts and craft festival. Got a seat at the bar. Waited over 15 mins then had to ask for service. The bruschetta was so lame. Crappy cheap French bread and just crap on it and it was $25. For 6 tinny thin slices, Nothing fresh about it, all processed. No fresh chopped tomatoes, no balsamic. Watched the kitchen prepare food not impressed just robots. Won’t be back!

Adrift is a food lovers go to. The menu has a good variety, the serving protions are perfect and beautifully presented. Everything I had was so fresh and made their and prepped there. Incredible service and the atmosphere was casual but classy and lively and slightly quirky in a good way. Their baked goods and desserts looked amazing though I was too full from my dinner to try any of them. I would be a regular guest if lived there.

Highly rated, my daughter and I stopped by for a quick lunch. When you walk in, it doesn't seem like it's a restaurant but you walk towards the back and on the right side is the dining room. Our server was very nice and darn it!!!!!! I forgot our servers name. She was very nice, friendly and attentive. Food: Shrimp Tacos Basil Grilled Cheese Sandwhich add Tomato Soup French Fries The shrimp tacos were good, and the friench fries were really good. I enjoyed the grilled cheese and dipping it in the soup. Overall, it's a cute spot and nice neighborhood. I'd return again.

If you need Clam chowder when in Anacortes, this is the place. Made to order, full of clams in the shell, bacon, potatoes other seafood in a rich cream sauce.

Second time to this wonderful establishment. Both times the food has been cooked to perfection. The menu is nice and provides a very comfortable section for anyone to choose from. They offer specials and I had the special both times. Everything tasted fresh and the flavors all make sense.

Came in relatively late on a Monday night. Restaurant was less than half full but everything still took a long time - getting seated, ordering, getting check, etc. There was a larger party present that seemed to get most of the attention, which was somewhat understandable. Ordered the crab cakes and a glass of cab. Wine was good and reasonably priced. Food was generally above average. Crab cakes were nicely cooked and I appreciated the inventive presentation with the raspberry sauce. Potato wedges were very good but the kale/garlic were definitely way underdone.

Excellent service & food. Kale was not overcooked, the aromatics enhanced the taste & freshness. Crab cakes & steamers were just as good; focaccia was perfect to sop up the steamer "juice."

Wow! Delicious. These guys know how to fry food! The fries are amazing. Fish n chips soooo good. Fresh flavors and great taste. 11/10 recommend

In the area? Go here! The service, vibe, and food was amazing! The staff were so helpful and kind in helping me make the best selections for my gluten free dietary needs. The Manhattan Chowder was divine and my halibut fish tacos superb! My husband had the chowder sampler, which was a great way to get to try four unique chowders. He the devoured a oyster burger and a MASSIVE slice of maple bacon cake. I finished my meal with a rich GF chocolate dessert with marshmallow topping. Worth every penny, we’ll be back for sure when we’re back in Anacortes!

Not from the area but this place has a great variety of seafood including clam chowder, fried oysters, fish and chips and more! I had the chowder sampler and it was terrific to try different types of chowders. Ever had Salmon chowder??

Good food, really good Chowder. The inside of the restaurant surprises you. Does not match the outside. Really nice atmosphere, with lots of room between tables. Only issue was that my server seemed a bit new at his job. After bringing us our food, he never came and checked back on us till our meal was all done. My husband had finished his drink and had wanted a refill less than half way through the meal. We shared and nursed my little Pepsi the entire time. Other than that it was a great place, and I'm sure the waiter will get better with time.

I have been coming here for about 10 years. I do enjoy the breaded cod fish, but I usually only eat a few of the french fries as they below average. The coleslaw is always bitter as well. They should stop serving coleslaw and serve better fries. I would assume most people come for the fish and the chowder which are both very good. As with everything, prices seem to be getting a little out-of-control. One piece fish and chips and a small cup of chowder after tax and tip was almost $25.

Lived up to the hype! Stopped in on a rainy cold day for some warm food and loved everything we ordered. Delicious chowder, excellent fish n chips, and overall a neat coastal atmosphere. Parking is easy and prices were fair. Big fan!

The service here was awesome. The vibe was great. The cod fish was a little dry but it was still good. I recommend the halibut over the cod fish and chips. We also got the fried pickles which I recommend getting as well. The flavor and the crunch was perfect. Defiantly can tell all this was home made. If you’re In the area it’s worth a stop by!

Such a cute local wine bar with good selection, knowledgeable owner, good music, and chill vibes. Great happy hour prices!

A stop here made for a lovely, relaxing afternoon after a morning out on the water. The weather was perfect, the wine was phenomenal, and the owner was kind, knowledgeable, and engaging. We enjoyed the atmosphere and would definitely frequent this spot if we were locals. Cheers to Salt & Vine and island life!

Our go-to spot for a glass of wine and delicious snacks. The owner is personable and has a dry sense of humor.

I absolutely love this shop that has the best charcuterie plates and an outstanding wine selection! They helped Anacortes survive Covid and keep their sanity. Thank you Salt and Vine for surviving Covid 💞

Love this place. Quickly becoming a favorite spot to stop and enjoy the city of anacortes and a glass or bottle of wine. Very nice guy who works there. Always answer my questions and recommendations are always great.had a wine I enjoy very much but he is put of it now cuz can only be ordered once a year. Great selection , service and ambulance.

They don’t mess around when it comes to a charcuterie board! Such good value for money, and everything was amazing! They also had gluten free crackers for those with an allergy! The owner of the shop was super friendly and helpful! Can’t wait to go back!

I needed something refreshing to sip, a Pinot Grigio did the trick. Plus the piped in music was soothing too...plus there is a vast assortment of wonderful cheese to go with a glass, or two, of wine.
