On a day trip to Baybridge island, my friends and I decided to try this trending restaurant, and it…read morewas worth the hype! 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 were visiting Bainbridge Island for the day and while in town going to parks, walking around,…read moreretail etc, we worked up an appetite for lunch. Among a few other spots, Ba Sa was on our hit list to check out, so we came by for lunch. Its a nice looking modern Vietnamese restaurant with a fusion-y spin on Viet food. 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!

Fill up gas n RUN inside to find Jake's walk-up window to order. His SCONENUTS are a MUST - do not walk out without taking home at least a half-dozen box. All of his baked goods are FIRE but the sconenuts are his signature specialty, so don't leave without giving them a try!!! IF you're lucky, catch a bite when the hot side (grill) is open as EVERYTHING is magical - but my hubby swears by Jake's breakfast pesto aioli sammy. Hubs was so addicted that he would swing by EVERY SATURDAY MORNING AFTER BASKETBALL to indulge in this sammy masterpiece. It became his beloved Saturday ritual! If you're lucky you'll get a chance to meet Jake or his wife as they're usually on property - always approachable and ready to chat, you won't find a more lovely couple! They truly represent that small-town, island vibe and you'll leave feeling like you're not a stranger, but definitely a "friend". IF you missed them and they're closed for the day, they have all their goodies packaged and stocked in the grab-n-go fridge next to the cash register. But be warned - inventory is limited as Jakes' place is a primo spot for the best yummies! Ruuuunnnn to Jakes! (And tell him MALIA sent ya!)

I kind of liked it, but definitely haven't experienced that with fish before. The fish itself, cod, was fine--not much flavor but that's cod. The tartar sauce was a standout: obviously homemade with a great lemon flavor. The fries: these tasted like they had been sitting under a heat lamp for quite a while. 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. Cod chowder: I honestly couldn't tell which chunks were cod and which were potato. Super bland.

One got steak and eggs, another got the fried egg sandwich, another got the eggs Benedict, ABCT omelette. The steak and eggs were very good, good portions, and the bread was toasted perfectly. The fried egg sandwich was good, good flavor but a little too much tomato for his liking. Combo together was super good though. The eggs Benedict was also really good, the muffin was a little hard, but the sauce and the egg was great. The omelette was also really good, no comment. The one thing mainly I have to comment is that the hash browns had this really weird seasoning that none of us liked. Other than that it was amazing! Really recommend this place.

We ordered their seaweed caesar salad, albacore crudo, cauliflower, clams and mussels, and salmon succotash. Food was fine, not amazing. Our favorite dish was the clams and mussels which were cooked perfectly, and the broth was delicious. That being said, value just wasn't there in my opinion. The albacore crudo was $23, and it was a tiny little bowl with cubes of albacore. The caesar salad was $17. The clams and mussels were $27, and there was probably a total of 15 clams and mussels in the entire dish. The salmon was $36 and was the size of my palm. Seabird also charges a 5% service charge on the total bill that is separate to gratuity/tip. Service was friendly. Overall, it's a cute spot for a night out, but I'm not sure I'd come back.
