    Coffee crème brule
    Desiree W.

    This restaurant is close to the ferry. It was hard to find initially as it is behind the back of the building where a brewery is attached. I went on a Saturday and it was pretty packed but we didn't wait long for a table for two. It is a nice vibe. My date ordered the arugula salad which had great flavor and the Filipino chicken dish and I ordered the Caesar Salad and the Ling Cod and Prawns dish. I didn't really care for the Caesar Salad maybe it was the addition of Taijin that threw it off. The Ling Cod and Prawns dish needed a little more salt but it was still a good dish. My date's meals were really good and I kinda wish I had his meal. The wait staff and bartender was attentive. I really enjoyed the Smooth Ride cocktail and the coffee crème Brulé was really good.

    Good food and friends!

    Always a wonderful special dinner when you go to Agate!! The drinks are perfectly crafted. The food is delicious and the service is always friendly!! Plus, it's a beautiful space with very nice outdoor seating available as well.

    Old Fashioned, something with Rosemary, and it's not Macaroni Grill bread!

    Very well done. From the food, to the service and the whole experience, very well done. Came in on a Wednesday night for dinner. Ordered the crispy Brussel Sprouts that were fantastic. Only thing that would have made them better would have been some crispy Prosciutto. The waiter told me they tried that once, but the vegans freaked out because they didn't know what Prosciutto was! For dinner I had the scallops and daughter had the steak. Both were very good. We also had the chocolate cake/brownie for desert which was decadent. Service was very friendly and fast. Plenty of help, got in and out in.a reasonable amount of time..

    Agate is consistently exceptional. The ambience is lovely and food is always delicious. Agate is our go-to restaurant for all types of occasions. The restaurant is sensitive to food allergies and can find a good fit for all types of diets. The staff is the absolute best - friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. A+ on all levels.

    Had dinner here fleury friends and thoroughly enjoyed it. The place was busy and full, but the service was great and the food and drinks came out quickly. The place has a hipster atmosphere and is casually comfortable. Food is very good and the bartender does a great job on his cocktails. We'll don Agate, we'll be back.

    Nice restaurant located in the heart of Bainbridge Island close to shopping and wineries. They have a good amount of indoor dining space as well as patio seating. The food is a bit more refined and unique with high-quality ingredients, making it one of the nicer options on the island. During our visit this summer we dined on bread with hummus and olive tapenade, steak, Dungeness crab, and halibut while sipping wine from a bottle we purchased. Each dish was very tasty and we enjoyed them during a beautiful evening on the patio. The outdoor dining area is dog friendly so there were a couple of cute and well-behaved doggos sitting with their humans. Agate restaurant is a great option for dining and I plan to return during an upcoming visit to Bainbridge.

    Agate was a great spot for quality dining on the island. For appetizers, the cheese plate had a nice mix of flavors, the spinach salad was fresh but didn't blow my mind, and the fried Brussels sprouts were good but not my favorite flavor. I had the sea scallops for a main which were cooked to perfection. The flavor was light but paired well with the pickled vegetables and dashi. Drinks 1. Tony Lombardi Old Fashioned - 4/5 Appetizers 1. Bread - 4/5 2. Spinach Salad - 4/5 3. Cheese Plate - 4/5 4. Fried Brussels Sprouts - 3/5 Main 1. Sea Scallops - 5/5

    Evening Ebb - $14 (hand for scale)

Everything we ordered was packed with flavor and well executed in this fusion restaurant. The spicy truffle wontons with grilled shrimp were a standout! They were super aromatic with the truffle flavor coming through, and the shrimp added a nice extra layer of texture and richness. The wontons were not quite spicy, however. We also tried thier chili prawn noodles, which had egg noodles and was just as good. The tempura shrimp was also crunchy and added to the great mix of textures. We also had the rockfish, which was in a nice creamy sauce and cooked nicely, complementing the rest of the meal well.

We didn't know what to order so we looked at a bunch of photos to see what looked good. We started off with the Chicken Buns. It was really good karage chicken bao buns, very flavorful, nicely prepared and the mayo was tasty! We really enjoyed this to start off our meal. As for our entrees, we got: Bun Cha Hanoi: Good amount of meats, I really liked this, comes with 2 pork patties, 2 grilled pork skewers, an egg roll, noodles to dip in the nuoc cham sauce with lettuce to make some wraps. I went to town on this! Sautee Beef Vermicelli: I got some bites to this dish as well, beef was plenty, quite flavorful stir fried beef, good marinade on the beef, comes with vermicelli noodles with some assorted veggies and crispy bits on top. A good non soup beef noodle dish! We came at a good time, we got seated pretty quickly, friendly staff, it is on the pricier side but we enjoyed the food a lot. The place got busier when we were leaving. Worth coming by to check out if you in the neighborhood!

Warm but not crispy (except the tiny bits). Considering that there was an almost continuous flow of English fish and chips coming out of the kitchen and they were super busy, it's bizarre the fries weren't fresh. Almost flavorless.

There's minimum table service to speak of, which makes the whole experience feel impersonal and frankly lazy on the part of management.
