Gary Syck Every year, in November, I join friends and family for a trip to a secret location in the San Juan Islands. The adventure starts in the dark, with a drive up to Anacortes to catch a ferry to Friday Harbor. This year, the weather was cold and rainy. We had a 20 minute wait in line - just enough time for a latte. The bad news was that the coffee in the ferry terminal is terrible. Still, it was hot, so we reluctantly headed in. That was when my daughter spotted Dockside - a mobile booth set up next to the holding area. We made an immediate course correction. There was fruit in baskets out front, all the usual coffee add-ons on a counter and a window where an enthusiastic barista greeted us. He bantered his way through taking our orders and assured us that we would have our drinks in (Checks the order list) "Three minutes and twenty eight seconds." I did not time him, but it was not long before I had my hands warming around a latte that tasted great. Several of the people we would meet on the boat to our secret location joined us to catch up on personal news and drink coffee. Before we knew it, the tannoy blared the announcement that it was time to load. What a great way to pass the time. I have a few more trips planned this Winter and I am looking forward to the Dockside part of those trips.

Jerrilyn Pierce It was our first time in town and we stumbled on this place and truly enjoyed it. I was there with my 3 kids and the atmosphere was very family friendly. There is a small table for kids to hang out with a selection of kids books and games. I didn’t worry about having an energetic toddler. Also, the food was great and more than I could eat!

Stephnie Sutton If you haven’t tried Outsider you are missing out! Husband and I wanted to try a new place before a show at the Podium last night and decided to give Outside a shot and we were BLOWN away! We glanced at the menu beforehand and thought it looked good-reservations were easy to place and we arrived early right as they opened at 355. Seated right away, first ones in ones in the door. Super cute, warm, cool vibe and open kitchen concept was fun to watch. Service was quick, friendly and attentive without hovering. Drink recommendations were spot on and quickly delivered! We ordered the Ribeye Poke for a shared appetizer and it was amazing! The layers of flavor and texture were top notch and the sauce was next level. My husband had the Pork chop with mashed potatoes, and I ordered the Pasta Puttanesca- we kept eating off of each others plates because everything was truly so great. The pork chop was tender, juicy and flavorful. The pasta was full of flavor from olives, tomatoes and you could actually taste the pasta as well!! Great food for a great price point! We will be back to try the pizzas and the meatloaf!!
