Upcoming Wine Dinners, Specials & News
A season-driven dining experience
Let Coho Restaurant take you on a culinary journey through the San Juan Islands. Our menu is dynamic and reflects the availability of the freshest local produce. Enjoy our four-course tasting menu or craft your meal à la carte. Our culinary team prepares everything from scratch daily and we know you will taste the difference.
A reputation for exceptional catering
Whether you are planning an event for 2 or 200, Coho Restaurant’s special event catering has built a reputation for consistent quality and exceptional food service using only the freshest and finest ingredients, day-of-event preparation, and artistic presentation. Let our culinary team help you design the celebration of your dreams.
An award-winning wine cellar
Our ever-evolving list includes producers from Washington, Oregon, and California alongside a selection of remarkable international wines. We particularly seek out small producers who create handcrafted wine using natural techniques that convey a sense of place. With so many bottles on our carefully curated list, you will certainly find the perfect glass to pair with your dinner.
Memorable special dining events
Throughout the year, Coho Restaurant presents special dining events to showcase remarkable food and winemakers or to lift holiday meals to the next level (without you having to lift even a finger). With menus carefully designed by our culinary team to intrigue and delight, these limited-seating evenings are quick to sell out, so be sure to reserve in advance.
A showcase of local producers
Besides allowing us to obtain the freshest products around, our local San Juan Island producers offer incredible quality. From grass-fed beef and pork to vegetables, greens, and edible flowers, we’re constantly sourcing the best of the season from our trusted local purveyors.
Gift Certificates for all occasions
Looking for the perfect gift? Consider a gift certificate for Coho Restaurant to celebrate a birthday, wedding, anniversary, or other special occasions. Available in any denomination, your gift can be used any time of the year – even for our special events and holiday dinners. Just give us a call or make your purchase online.

Ah, the weekend is here at last and we’d love to fill all you fine people a few things that’s happening at Coho:
🥘 We released our “Early Summer” Menu. As you might know, Chef Tim has a deep passion for showcasing seasonal ingredients. Don’t worry, we’ve kept a few incredible dishes that have been big crowd pleasers (like the Twice Baked Souffle, Mushroom Tartine & Cassoulet).
🌿Also, people have been enjoying our garden patio! We’ve been lucky to have remarkably beautiful nights. But if you run cold, no worries! We have outdoor heaters AND cozy soft throws to keep you warm.
Our reservation book is happily filling up. We do accept walk-ins if we have any tables available but your best bet is to make a reservation (hint: sooner than later). Enjoy weekend! 🏝️

Welcome to our Garden Patio 🌿
We’re officially open for outdoor seating & continue to maintain the sweet & intimate ambient feel for your dining experience. We do have outdoor heaters but as many of us islanders know, coolish nights have a tendency to randomly present itself. Therefore, we highly recommend that you bring an extra layer for more added comfort.
Cheers & Happy Friday!
