I discovered Chef in the Black Bandana by accident while conducting some business next door…read more For those that know Zanini's restaurant, Black Bandana has taken over their location under Frasier's Gourmet Hideaway on Dock St. After talking with the hostess, I found out the chef has over 30 years experience and the hostess is also the front manager and she has over 30 years of managerial experience. I perused the menu on a large chalkboard and chose the Emmer Spaghetti and added the optional meatballs. While waiting for my meal I discovered that they might have cannolis! I asked about getting a cannoli and was told that they would need to see if there was enough ingredients for one. I was in luck and was able to order one! The spaghetti was very well prepared and cooked. I enjoyed the flavor of the sauce and the homemade pasta. The meatballs were the highlight in my opinion! The background music was playing "Celebration" by Kool and the Gang and there's a line that asks "what is your pleasure" and I thought "right now? This meatball and the spaghetti!" Then I was handed my cannoli and I was amazed at the flavors and textures! One end was dipped in chocolate chips and the other end in pistachio pieces ! The filling had a slight citrus flavor and of course the shell was nice and crispy. I was very pleased with the meal and dessert. In the photo you may notice that my spaghetti was served in a plastic container. Keep in mind The Chef in the Black Bandana just opened 8 days ago and they are still working through the startup process. In fact, their official Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting is April 26th.

This place is a tiny Italian market serving food as well. I loved the ambience, and being able to…read moreenjoy food outside in a quiet setting. The market inside is well decorated and lends itself to an old-time traditional Italian feeling. The service was nice (the woman working the counter was sweet as could be). As for food we ordered the Emmer Spaghetti, Summer Cavatelli and Spicy Milano. The pastas were very fresh tasting, as they make the pasta in house themselves. I found the Cavatelli to be well balanced. It was a great carrier for the fresh heirloom tomatoes and english peas. The spaghetti was cooked perfectly al dente. The sandwich was fantastic. They make the bread in house and it definitely shows in all the best ways. It was crusty, chewy and a great vessel for the meat. The only qualm I have about the place is the price; it feels a bit high for what you receive, especially in the case of the spaghetti. Over all I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a casual Italian deli with fresh house made food, and who doesn't mind spending a little extra to support a small business.

I'm extremely disappointed with my experience at Chris' Bakery. I purchased a pastry expecting…read morefresh bakery food, but when I opened it, the inside was completely frozen solid and impossible to eat. Unfortunately, I had already driven out of town when I discovered the problem, so I couldn't bring the food back. I contacted the bakery to explain what happened, but instead of offering a refund for the defective food, they offered me half off a different sandwich. Why would I want to spend more money at a place that just sold me food I couldn't even eat? Mistakes happen, but good customer service means making things right when the customer receives a bad product. I'm very disappointed with how this was handled and will think twice before spending my money here again.

We went between lunch and dinner, so there was no wait, which was perfect. Kristen took great care of us -- she was incredibly nice, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. We ordered the halibut sandwich, surf & turf, and a side of prawns, and everything was excellent. The portion sizes were just right -- satisfying without being overwhelming. The halibut was perfectly cooked, moist, and flavorful. The steak was perfectly seasoned, incredibly tender, and a really nice cut. And the prawns were crispy and delicious! Overall, we really enjoyed our experience at Seabolt's. Great food, friendly service, and a laid-back Whidbey Island atmosphere. Definitely recommend stopping here if you're craving good seafood!

Because the food is so great, it's a busy place. Service was slow, but every employee was extremely busy. Part of the slowness is that there seems to be tons of pick up/take out orders.

I wanted a salad but they were all $19+ and had meat on them and I asked if I could sub avocado instead of meat and the waitress said they would have to upcharge me? Sorry, what? You have to upcharge me on a TWENTY DOLLAR SYSCO SALAD?! I grew up on the island, so I am not some tourist who doesn't understand the prices here. I took my kids to eat here on a Sunday evening after a long day thinking it would be cheap quick diner food. It was over a hundred dollars for one adult and two kids to eat a basic diner meal- we had butter noodles, a grilled cheese, fries, and a 3pc fish and chips with 3 fountain sodas. NEARLY A HUNDRED DOLLARS BEFORE TIP. And their tip system had the nerve to ask me to add 20/25/30% on top of the outrageous prices?! It was insulting. I am not someone to complain about prices generally, but I had dinner for two adults at a fancy south end restaurant a few nights ago and we each had wine and it was about the same price. I was sincerely shocked by the prices for incredibly mediocre food. It almost felt like they were trying to prank us, honestly. Definitely do not recommend. The island has a lot of excellent restaurants that charge fair prices. This is not one of them.
