The Madrona Bar & Grill, Orcas Island -Food CA (Near Eastsound)

Monica Laudenglos Wonderful dining experience. Our New Years Eve date night. After a spicy Ceasar in the bar, we were seated in the dining room. Lovely waterview window table to start our evening. Our server, Dane, was super attentive without rushing us. We shared a large slab salad known as a wedge salad at other places. The blue cheese dressing is really good here. A must try offering was the fried Brussels sprouts that were prepared with a yummy sweet glaze that included pork shoulder pieces. Honestly, this is hands down the BEST Brussel sprout dish weve ever tasted. Large serving, so share it. My husbands filet mignon was cooked perfectly. It was as good as the Wagu beef we recently had. Flavorful and so tender. It was served with whipped mashed potatoes and fresh sauted green beans. I had a few bites and was full with the other we already consumed. This experience was better than 5 stars. We highly recommend Saltys at Alki.

Maha J We recently hosted our wedding dinner with family and friends at Aerlume and were thoroughly impressed with the experience. The food was exceptional, the view was astounding, and the service provided was attentive, professional, and seamless. We were so impressed with the attention to detail and thoughtfulness shown by Scott , Kate, Margaret, Matt, Mark and the rest of the team. Every detail was handled with care, creating a warm and memorable atmosphere for our guests. We greatly appreciate the Aerlume team’s effort in making our celebration such a success throughout the planning, helping create customized menus and drinks to day of coordination and everything in between. We will gladly recommend the venue to anyone seeking an elegant setting with outstanding service.

DanielleNRichard V I can’t. Not anymore. I can no longer go to a Mediterranean restaurant and be satisfied unless it’s Baba. This has changed me. Gorgeous little place, could have used some candles on the tables, but clean, and fitting decor. Service was relaxed and on it as far as never letting you be without what you need. The food… layers of flavors that you’d not expect- even in a place like this. I’ve been to so many but nothing has left me staring at my mom across the table wondering if I should stomp my feet or walk to the back and thank the chef. Hit up during happy hour, the deviled eggs are amazing. Had to request without chili oil for my mom. The falafel/ wow. The WHIPPED FETA and pita. Come ON!- there are flavors that shouldn’t be allowed and I’m so glad they are. Never had a soft pillowy fresh one before. The chicken kabob..the caramel.. the chili flakes.. I could drink that. Used the rest of my pita to sop it up. Beef lamb kabob was stunning- almost at the top of my personal heat limit. Had the chocolate pistachio torte.. so good. I will have to come back next time I’m in town. PLEASE GO HERE.

Ami Farrington We came to Duck Soup for my sons thirty fifth birthday. We drove 11 hours. We had the most amazing experience with the food, atmosphere, the owners and staff. This is a MUST place to visit. We will definitely be traveling back to Friday Harbor and visit the Duck Soup again and again. We spent a wonderful evening visiting with Analise, and her daughter, Siri and Chef Bill. We are in love all the way around!!!

James Lothian Been twice now after moving to Oak Harbor, both meals have been excellent! Perfect texture Pate’, perfect curry mussels, & many more (the Tartare). Didn’t take pics until dessert. Here ya go

Avant Lard Travel - by Houston Porter Simply amazing - the best restaurant in Port Townsend...and probably all of the Northwest. Weve now visit Finistère half a dozen times since they open and every visit has been wonderful from beginning to end. The food is phenomenal (on par with some of the Michelin star restaurants weve visited), the ambiance is relaxed and comfortable, and the staff/owners are always welcoming, friendly, and professional. Ever since our first visit nearly a decade ago, our first stop/reservation when visiting Port Townsend is at Finistère.
