120 Nichols Review

Even by island standards, this place is expensive, but the food is the best, and the menu the most ambitious you'll find on San Juan Island. Veering from the island standard of simple, well-prepared seafood, 120 Nichols explores the world of haute cuisine, with fresh seasonal ingredients driving the menu. You might start your meal with wild-mushroom risotto or smoked-mussel ravioli, but when it comes to your entree, be sure to order the delicious potato-crusted halibut with chardonnay-cream sauce, fried basil, and Meyer lemons. This tiny restaurant in a restored old home in downtown Friday Harbor has only eight tables, so reservations are imperative.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
