Adrift Restaurant

Adrift Restaurant is a beloved seafood and burger destination nestled in the heart of downtown Anacortes, Washington, just steps from the waterfront. Since opening its doors, this acclaimed eatery has become a cornerstone of the local culinary scene, drawing both residents and visitors with its commitment to sourcing ingredients from the bountiful Skagit Valley and surrounding Pacific waters. The restaurant's interior blends rustic charm with modern coastal elegance, featuring warm wood tones, exposed brick, and large windows that flood the space with natural light. Adrift's menu showcases the region's finest seafood, including their legendary Pan Fried Oysters—Pacific oysters breaded with nori, sesame seeds, and panko, served with a zesty cilantro chili aioli. Their Dungeness Crab au Gratin is a must-try, featuring fresh local crab baked in a rich blend of cheeses until perfectly bubbly. Burger enthusiasts will appreciate the Skagit, a juicy third-pound creation topped with toasted garlic aioli and pickled red onions, or the Clementine, featuring Mama Lil's sweet hot peppers and Gorgonzola. The Salish sandwich offers wild fish fillets with lemony avocado dressing. Open daily for lunch and dinner, Adrift also provides convenient takeout options and catering services for special occasions.
