Duck toast
Elliott P.

Absolutely amazing food and service. The duck toast and lamb burger was delicious. My wife had the 1/2 pound of clams and some wine. She thought that everything was amazing.

Clam chowder and smoked duck toast
Kenna P.

TL;DR: Phenomenal food, cozy vibes--get the clam chowder! A'Town Bistro was the unexpected culinary highlight of my two-week Washington trip. I hadn't planned to stop in Anacortes, but I'm so glad I did. Eats: 1. Smoked duck toast: Beautifully presented, full of flavor, and cooked to perfection. I'd order this again in a heartbeat. 2. Clam chowder: Hands down the best I've ever tasted--my mom agreed, and even the table behind us said the same! Atmosphere & Service: Warm, cozy, and inviting, with soft lighting, twinkle trees, and a fireplace. Our server was incredibly sweet and welcoming. Worth the detour and then some. 11/10 experience--would come back just for this place!

Clams half lb

Clam chowder was delightful and full of flavor. Has onion, clams, LOTs of bacon pieces. Creamy chowder. Dip your buttery toast into it to get some of the sauce. Good pairing.

Papas Bravas...amazing
Timothy H.

Everything that is good in the culinary world meets here. North, South, East, West...all the best flavors come to meet here. I've never had a better clam chowder in my life. The truffle fries were perfect. They make their own curry ketchup that is perfect with the fries. Their toast plates are definitely worth trying. The papas bravas were the icing on the cake. So good. Service and cleanliness were both on point. No complaints at all. Lunch cost us $125...including drinks, tax, tip. This place is amazing. If you're going to be in AnaCortes for the day...this is the one place you need to eat.

Squid ink linguine with mussels and scallops
Rick G.

Great spot for a nice meal in downtown Anacortes. Lots of great-looking options for cocktails and mains. I went with the squid in linguine with musses and scallops - everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. They offer a comfortable ambiance and service was attentive. I'll be back!

Smoked Duck Toast
Al D.

This is THE Place! Service top notch Food amazing Location ideal Jessica makes a mean Fairmont Cocktail! So good I had TWO! I enjoyed the smoked duck toast which was scrumptious and my husband devoured the Valley Burger and Truffle fries! Well worth the wait. Don't walk but RUN to this place and enjoy a tasty meal! Request Jessica - she is the bomb. Very attentive and knows the menu well to help with decisions.

Menu front

We made early reservations the day before and were seated as they opened. We had peeked at the menu and definitely wanted to try this restaurant that locally sourced as much as possible before we left Anacortes. Service, provided by Kate, was very friendly and prompt. She didn't steer us wrong at all, was knowledgeable not just about the menu but about the food prep and drinks, and made sure we were doing well. Ask for her if you can, she's great. We started with a bookhouse fizz and the no thanks along with the patatas a la brava. I was torn between the moules frites and the nerka king for dinner. Sharon was also looking at the moules frites as well as the short ribs. Every large plate looked like a win. We decided on the nerka king (seared medium rare) and the short ribs. I instantly like any restaurant that asks me how well done I like my salmon. The patatas were a more generous portion than we thought for a traditional tapas dish - just so you know. That said, they were excellent! The house made mozzarella was the perfect accompaniment to the potatoes. The smoky sauces were very flavorful (we suggest mixing them). OMG the short ribs. Wow. They were fantastic. So tender. So flavorful. The salmon, served skin up, was medium rare as ordered - tender pink in the middle. The salmon sausage was exceptionally good and unexpected - very savory (fennel, maybe?). Everything was so great, we had to stop ourselves from overeating. Then Kate brought the dessert menu... Chocolate tahini ice cream?!? I know, sounds odd, but I've had chocolate tahini brownies and stand by the combination. We decided to split a cannoli dessert and call it good. And they were. If you're anywhere near Anacortes, do yourself a favor and make reservations!

Build your own charcuterie

The food here is above average and hard to find this level of quality elsewhere in Anacortes. The take on clam chowder is beautiful, the clams are top notch and the broth is rich but restrained. The duck breast salad is so lightly dressed that it is barely noticeable and lets the ingredients shine through. I would order a plate full of the sautéed garlic scapes alone if I could. The macerated-preserved fruits available via charcuterie are delicious.

The room was extra clean and the view was awesome . I'd definitely stay here again! We live on Guemes island so if we have an event that keeps us out past the last ferry we'll stay here again .

Our party of two strolled in for brunch after staying the night at the Majestic Inn to a mostly…read moreempty but posh space. Having visited a few years back, the fresh face lift in this space was well done. Open, bright, and updated gives swanky vibes without losing casual comfortability. Sports played on the TVs behind the bar. Various staff members were bustling around, presumably with room service orders, maintenance, and transitioning from morning shifts. Despite their busy-ness each acknowledged us with a friendly greeting and smiles. We selected a low lounge table in the bar area and was promptly welcomed by our server. We asked for her recommendations on a couple of things and she candidly answered. We ordered Bloody Maria's, yogurt parfait, and the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. We were torn between so many other options like the Seafood and Tasso Benedicts and the Cinnamonroll French Toast, it was hard to choose without our server's expertise. Her recommendations did not disappoint! Serving sizes were just right without overindulging and having enough to power a tourist's rounds through town. We are already planning a return to visit the seasonal Rooftop for cocktails, fresh oysters and happy hour. We took a trip up to the outdoor rooftop area which is on the new building, and the views are unmatched! Seeing as far as the San Juan Islands, Fidalgo Bay, and the tops of Anacortes DEFINTELY worth the short walk over while the weather was cooperating.
