In a world of mediocre restaurants, Prima Bistro is a gem…read more Located in quaint Langley, Prima Bistro has an extensive menu that offers unique twists to established fares. We love the crispy pork belly and olives in warm olive oil. My GF says the fried oysters are the best she's ever had, and I enjoy the steamed clams with chorizo. They have a full bar and happy hour 3-5 daily. This is the best restaurant on Whidbey Island.

It could easily be a 5 star meal with a few tweaks…read more Our server seemed a bit annoyed we weren't quite ready to order when she first came by. Her tone didn't improve. The ceasar salad was a nice portion served on a tiny plate. The add of chicken made it impossible to eat without leveraging the bread plate. The dressing was very mildly flavored. Nothing special. Other things were wonderful! The salad lyonnaise was robust. Note: It could have used more greens. The mussels were perfectly cooked and deliciously seasoned. The trout was delicious and a nice looking plate. It could have used a veg in addition to the fish and potatoes. The croque was tasty and very rich; it had almost too much ham. The thin, crispy fries were some of the best I've had. I will definitely go back, and hope for some tweaks.

We absolutely loved Whidbey Island Bagel Factory!…read more The staff were welcoming and friendly. The bagels were fresh, perfectly chewy on the inside with that crisp on the outside. You can really taste the quality. The cream cheese options were delicious, and the sandwich combinations were generous and flavorful. Everything came out quickly, and it was the perfect start to our day. We'll definitely be back next time we're on the island. Highly recommend!

I've been coming here for years, for us it used to be a great little spot to stop in, get a bagel…read moreand a coffee and relax for a bit. This last year it seems to be going downhill. The bagels are inconsistent and often far too salty. Prices have gotten pretty absurd, nobody is immune to the current economy but with rising prices we a getting lower quality. The service is always good, people are friendly. Line is long often but goes pretty quick

I have been wanting to eat at The Braeburn for a while now and was excited to have the opportunity…read moreto check it out this past weekend. It is a popular spot, so expect to wait! Put your name on the list and then wander a bit, you can work up an appetite. We had a lovely meal. I had the northwest scramble, and it was full of tasty bites of salmon and mama lil's peppers. Husband had the Reuben and was unable to finish it as it was a fairly large portion. The staff is some of the sweetest I've experienced. They were kind and friendly throughout our experience, even though some patrons were less than nice about the wait times. Well worth the wait!

Really good brunch! Came here during our day trip to whidbey island. There was a 30 min wait so we…read morepassed time by walking around the cute area. Theres plenty to see so it didn't feel like a long wait. Husband got the breakfast burrito. He said it was really good, only con was that the salsa that came with it was like an ice slushy which would have preferred not cold. I got the salmon hash which I thought was one of the best hashes I've tried. The eggs and potatoes were seasoned and cooked perfectly and there was a lot of salmon - good ratio of everything. Only other con was that after we got seated we waited 30 mins to get our food. But service was really good and we could tell the cooks were busy with other tickets. Overall we really enjoyed our meal and would definitely come back if we're on Whidbey again!

We went here on July 2nd and our first impression wasn't a good one. The person at the counter was…read moreon the phone but didn't acknowledge us at all when we arrived (as I would have when I used to work in restaurants, but I guess that's just my customer service experience talking). Then a man came up to pay while we were waiting and after she hung up the phone, she immediately started helping him, again without acknowledging we were standing there. Pretty poor form if I'm honest, and was a not-great introduction to the business. The place was pretty packed so we had a 20-minute wait. Fine, not terrible, and we needed to eat and had no guarantees anywhere else would be faster. Tyler was our server and was one of those servers with the superhuman trait of being able to hold a table's order in his memory. I will never know how they do this. We ordered the dumplings and egg flower soup for the kiddo and veggie chow mein and crab cheese wontons for me. The kitchen was backed up so everything was coming out piecemeal (which is fine with me, I'd rather have it when it's fresh). The egg flower soup was good and the dumplings as well. My chow mein was delicious and while maybe could have used a LITTLE more sauce, was well worth it. My kiddo who isn't a chow mein eater even had some! We never got the crab cheese wontons, so whether that was a kitchen issue or a server's possibly human-after-all's memory, I'll never know. Either way it wasn't an issue as I was pretty full at that point and it would have been too much food. It was a bit overpriced for what you get but it was what we needed so I can't complain (except for that service at the front desk, which have I mentioned was terrible?).

This place was delicious and I'm already trying to plan my next meal here. I had a jalapeno burger…read morewhich was very flavorful, perfectly cooked, and came with a side of french fries that were perfect. We also ordered the mozzarella sticks and dipped them in the marinara and their ranch. So tasty!!! The service was great and the ambiance was very chill.

I confess sticker shock, except- there wasn't a price sticker on the one bag of treats I picked up…read more Chocolate covered honeycomb crisps- I used to love this treat from a local grocer back home- so I was excited to scoop those up. I also grabbed a brownie for my daughter in law and 3 cat shaped chocolate truffles. Total- $35. Woof. I knew the brownie was 5.99. I just paid and hoped everything tasted as good as the price indicated. The truffles were decadent, I took the honeycomb on my cruise as a sweet treat for the week & Sophie loved the brownie- so, kinda win. My other ding was the lack of customer service. There were a few of us in the shop, I just had one person ahead of me in line- but the cashier came off as bored. Hopefully it was a one off, for the tourist prices, you could be a bit hospitable. Outside seating was stunning, the gardens throughout this little shopping cove are gorgeous! Next time I'll just try one thing!

Downtown is touristy and artsy, sometimes that equals higher pricetags. We found some gifts for family and I snagged a cold beverage too.
