Review Floathouse Restaurant - Cortes Island

Wow! Amazing food. Amazing service. Amazing restaurant and resort. The view from patio is a gorgeous marina. We will be back. Cleo was our server and helped make our experience incredible and welcoming.

Went here twice during our stay on Cortes. Food is amazing, however leaning towards the pricey side for dinner. Breakfast is very good and moderately priced. The two managers that work out of here are not very pleasant to deal with, as they seem like they hate their lives (hard to imagine on Cortes). We asked to switch seats because we were sitting in the hot sun with no shade and one manager told us that they were reserved, although nobody sat there for the duration of our 45 min stay. Some servers here are very nice though. Would recommend for the food but don’t ask the managers to switch seats…or else.

A friend In our party reserved a table for lunch. We were here on July 2nd, a warm day. We were a table of adults and a table of kids. Our server was lovely; very accommodating with getting the kids food out first. We didn’t ask her to. The views were spectacular, and we watched a float plane take off as we waited for our food. The fish tacos are delicious! Would love to try some of the other items on the menu.

Really wanted to love this place! We were in the area for a few days and stopped here for lunch which was great - our server was so friendly despite it being a super windy day on the patio. Food was good too. The next two times we went, or tried to, one of the managers was hosting and serving us and she was just not pleasant. We felt like an inconvenience to her the entire time we were there and they had some arbitrary rules that make no sense.

We were really impressed with Jacob's ability to serve people with care and grace. His relaxed but welcoming attention to all the details made us feel at home. Tasty local seafood, cold drinks and nice views didn't disappoint us either. This place is pretty busy in summer time, reservations highly recommended

We came to have dinner tonight with no reservation, I had tried to call earlier but couldn't get through to the restaurant to make a reservation. Thankfully the hostess got us in and we had a wonderful dinner. Pricey but absolutely delicious food. Compliments to the chef!

Fantastic spot to stop and get fuel and a bite to eat!!! Super friendly staff!!! Please bring back the Tomato Gin soup!!! Best Tomato soup I have ever had!!!!

We never had a chance to eat there. The hostess was rude from the moment we walked up and utterly unaccommodating. We were looking forward to a great meal and drinks on the patio but were greeted by being told lunch was over and only certain appetizers were available from 2:30-4:30. It was said pretty sharply, as if she thought we were idiots for showing up for lunch after 2:30 (the ferry was running really late and we'd just gotten to Cortes). The hostess stuck the appetizer menu in our faces and we weren't offered a seat - we had to decide right there whether we'd eat any of the 5 apps they were offering. Of those 5, only 3 were even an option for me because of food allergies, and the other 2 were not something I would eat. I wanted my husband and mother in law to still get to eat there and enjoy the view and patio, so I offered to go get something from the nearby convenience store and bring it back - just a granola bar. The hostess was very sharp with my mother in law that I could not bring any food back to the table because it's a restaurant. I would normally understand that, but if the two people I'm with are eating $25 appetizers each, maybe you could just let me join my party with my flimsy granola bar instead of having me starve while they eat. I understand kitchen turn over times, but not the lack of hospitality and rudeness. Definitely not the Cortes Island vibe I've come to love. I will not be coming back.
