Coho Restaurant Celebrates the Holidays in Friday Harbor, San Juan Island!
Join Us for Dinner
Greetings!

Coho's team of talented chefs are busy preparing traditional holiday inspired menus for you this season. Let us take the stress out of your holidays. Enjoy a night out with friends, celebrate Christmas Day or ring in the New Year with us. We will be open throughout the holiday season and are available for off-site catering as well.

Friday Harbor shops and restaurants are getting ready for the holiday season as well. The historic district is beautifully decorated and there are lots of seasonal activities to enjoy while on the island. Many of the shops are offering amazing specials for your holiday gift-giving needs. After an afternoon of shopping, consider catching a performance at the community theater or a first run movie after dinner.

As you prepare for your own holiday traditions, here are some of our seasonal favorites and a new recipe that will quickly become an old favorite:
