I'm vegan, and I've been to Hound & Bottle several times, and it's been fine. None of the food has been exceptionally good or bad. And to me, the price is too high for the food to just be "fine." The mocktails are always delicious, and one time they made me a Pimm's cup. I've also sipped a few of my family's cocktails and they're quite good. The best thing I had was a vegan sloppy Joe with chickpeas a few years ago. The vegan Caesar salad is good. They seem to have a housemade veggie burger on the menu year round, but it's on a brioche bun so if you want to get it vegan it just comes without a bun... I had it once with the bun and even then I found it pretty dry and underwhelming, especially for the price. ($18 with a pickle and a handful of their thick fries [the fries are tasty and vegan]). We went yesterday and I got a squash appetizer without the crème fresh, and half the squash was undercooked (like so hard I couldn't put a fork through it). I told the server and they comped the dish, but even the part that was edible wasn't that great, so I didn't really want a replacement. My sister likes the steak, she's had it twice and the steak is cooked well, the sauce is good, but the carrots have been undercooked both times. She agrees that the drinks are better than the food. She also says the desserts are good. My mom thought the crab cakes were delicious, her Brussels sprouts were not undercooked. The people who work there are lovely, and it's a good vibe, but it might just be a drinks & desserts spot for me. read more

Good food and service. I had the pork chop that was tender and tasty. We were the first ones there for an early dinner before heading back to Sequim. read more

The oysters were fresh AF. The only downfall is they were not cleaned properly. There was a lot of grit and oyster shell in them, and I think when you're paying $100 per person you shouldn't have to be scraping oyster shell off your tongue at the table. The Dungeness crab cakes were exceptional however, and their espresso crème brûlée was polished off We also had a burrata and grilled peaches, which was good, but I recommend a sprinkle of coarse salt to bring out the flavors. It was a little one note. The lobster roll, however, was not fresh AF. I picked out the lobster which was good, but the shrimp passed its prime and very fishy. read more

We had a wonderful time taking my parents out for dinner. The wine and wine recommendations were great. The service was friendly. The restaurant was full and lively, but somehow not too loud. Our well-behaved dog came with us. They were very responsive to our afternoon request for a same day reservation. Finally, the food was fantastic. Crackers and pub cheese, pickled veggies, nuts, cheese board, burger, and crab cakes. We shared a lot of good dishes. read more

Okay, this is our new destination place. The food was absolutely amazing. The service was great. Everyone was kind and jovial. And in a great mood you could tell they enjoyed working where they do. The ambiance was great for a first date. Or meeting up with friends, which is what we did.. read more

Went here for dinner and was seated right away. Service was great, they were all friendly and attentive. The restaurant has a relaxed vibe, good for a date night or night out with friends. We ordered a Non-Alcoholic mocktail and an old-fashioned. Both were delicious. We ordered a Caesar Salad which was good, with a good balance of dressing and cheese to lettuce. I ordered the Dungeness Crab cakes off their summer menu, which were delicious! The potato salad it came with was refreshing, with the pickle pieces in it. My parents ordered the pork chop and the steak frites. Both were good, too. The pork had a tomato jam which added so much flavor, and was served with collared greens and a flavorful poblano pepper cornbread . The steak was cooked perfectly and the potatoes were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Finally we had a biscuit dessert, which came with whipped cream and seasonal fruit. The biscuit itself was salty, but when combined with the whipped cream and fruit had great balance. read more

!. This is a small place in terms of sq footage. I think they may have had about 10 tables. 2. I liked the atmosphere, it was small and dimly lit. I like it shady. It reminded me of some great dives in Portland, OR. 3, I had the burger and it was pretty solid. The bun was good, the cheese was good, the accoutrements were good. I can't complain about this burger and my overall rating is probably an 8/10. The best I've ever had? No. A great burger? Yes. 4. I also had a martini. I expected a classic martini. Gin, Vermouth, shaken, not stirred. Olives. It was pretty good, perhaps a little too much vermouth and a little dirtier than expected but ok, that's fine. Is anywhere perfect? Not as far as I can tell but I quite enjoyed this place, even with it's imperfections. To me, it kind of just kind of feels like home. read more

My first time trying this place was on a Wednesday. It was easy to get seated at 5pm but by 6pm the place got a lot busier. The food was good! I enjoyed my mocktail and we ordered 3 different dishes that were all pretty good. I ordered the vegetable pot pie, my friends ordered the chicken dumplings and mussels. read more

My favorite spot in Kitsap! Food, ambiance, staff, location. I love that they have a seasonal menu and locally sourced ingredients!

(3.5/5 stars) My boyfriend and I stopped by and were the first visitors in one evening and there was only one other couple that came in after us during our meal, so don't know what it's like when it gets crowded. We ordered the veggie burger and the HB fries. The burger wasn't bad and had more flavor than some beyond and impossible burgers I've had, but the fries were meh and a bit disappointing to me. The inside and decor was neat, but the food felt too pricey for what it was. read more

This is a cheese lovers dream, locally owned and operated. You really can't miss with any mean item!

. When you walk in the smell of wonderful food hits you, they have a chic warm restaurant with a great cocktail list, sparkling wines, and wine . Their food menu is short and to the point all the best selections. . Appetizer was the Oysters + Dungeness Crab cakes Oysters: loved the freshness ! There was no broken shell pieces to break your teeth on . Crab cakes : phenomenal ! They were lightly seared and cooked to perfection. They melted in your mouth and had so much flavor. Entrees: New York steak: with soft pumpkin polenta, romesco sauce, wilted lacinato kale and pine nuts Grilled Pork Chop : with maple sweet potato mash, roasted apple and pickled red cabbage We loved it here very personal and intimate ! Also, the service was phenomenal, but there was not one time that my water glass was not filled and everyone was like a family. They were checking on other tables which was amazing. read more

Wonderful cozy restaurant. The staff was very friendly and not overly attentive, they were just right. The seafood boil special was delicious! Very nice ted wine list of all imported Italian wines.

Wow this place came through in a clutch! Stopped by a nearby seafood place but they were unexpectedly closed for repairs. Total fail! But lucky to find this place just around the corner. Stuff tried: Dungeness crab cakes: really enjoyed these! Good amount of crab to batter ratio! Sauce it sits on is so good and the potato salad and asparagus were a nice combo Manila clams: lots of leaks! The clam liquor on the bottom of the pot is great to be sopped up by the crusty baguette provided! Vegetable pot pie: excellent pie crust topping! Veg are cut chunky and are great in the cream sauce. Actually i think if you mixed the manila clam dish with the inside of this pot pie you would have a killer clam chowder! Fries: these were more like jojos than fries. Not a huge jojo fan but these were kind of perfect! Perfect amount of crispy to soft inside ratio! Staff was really great and friendly! They do have indoor and outdoor seating, although the outdoor seating just has a view of the alley. Worth a try if you are in Bremerton! read more

We absolutely LOVE this place! Stop in on a Saturday evening and more likely than not you will find us at a table enjoying life. The food is fantastic - whether you're a meat person (the H&B burger is a staple, and they currently have a NY Strip Steak and Frites plate that is my go to); they have a great clam sauté or oysters on the half shell, and vegan and vegetarian selections. Though not in season, their delicata squash with beet purée is a favorite of ours and we are looking forward to Fall for its return to the menu. Eclectic decor with a playlist that never disappoints, the staff is amazing and never rushes anyone out. Bring your dog (we've brought ours a few times) or enjoy the puppers that others bring in. This is the one place I recommend to everyone in the area. So try it out! read more

boxes of meats and seafood were left outside the front door for who knows how long and how many times this has happened...

Interesting place to say the least... Let's start with the atmosphere and seating. Small venue with ok seating, water filtered and very clean, music was from the 80's. Now the food: prices were above the norm (42 for a T-bone). Menu had a small selection (which is a good thing). I'm impressed with the the speed and the device. I recommend coming out and trying this place but warn you that the prices are a little steep. read more

When I initially looked over the menu I was a bit disappointed their summer cocktail list looked so focused on fruit and worried it might tend too sweet. However, we got their frozen orange margarita and the cherry sling to try. They were so well balanced, fresh and delicious, we were pleasantly surprised! That focus continued for the rest of the meal. Dishes were well prepared, fresh and seasonal, celebrating the last weeks of summer. The wait staff were great, the setting appealing. Can't wait to come back again! read more

Some of the best cocktails I've had in Washington. And the food was amazing too! Will definitely be back and bring our pup!

Have to say it's all GOOD. In the top 5 of any burger I've ever eaten. Nice setting inside but patio looked cute except for the drizzle (no surprise there). Attentive wait staff and decent drinks. Big fan of eating in Italy as the bill is not automatically dropped after clearing the table. Especially if there is no queue. read more

We had a couple burgers, sorry no photo, we were to hungry and forgot to capture them. Anywho, friendly staff and a simple menu. We did arrive during a fireworks festival so it's hard to rate based on special circumstances. Regardless, this location is a great and we will most def be back! 5stars! Rock on H&B. read more

We're new to the area as of this summer, and being foodies, have been on the hunt for new favorite places on the Kitsap Peninsula... especially places that are dog friendly. Well, Hound and Bottle is quite simply our new favorite spot! These folks are so incredibly friendly and run a wonderful little restaurant and bar in charming Manette. We're so glad we settled in this neighborhood so that we can enjoy them more often! Yummy food and yummy drinks and a menu that rotates in dishes seasonally, the restaurant offers indoor seating as well as options outside on their deck. They have Thirsty Thursday specials - often a martini - as well as a special dish on Fridays. Best yet - they're not only Dog Friendly, they're Dog Welcoming! They sincerely want to see your well-behaved pup and will treat them like family, complete with a water bowl. We're so happy we found this wonderful establishment! read more

We are staying in Manette trying local places. Last night we went to the Hound and Bottle and are extremely happy we did. The welcome was sincere, the music was pleasant and the server was very good. The menu seemed adventurous with creative and unique listings. I had a pasta with roasted eggplant and a vegan pesto-like sauce that was very creative and excellent. My wife had a pot pie type dish that was incredible. The drinks were equally unique and wonderful. I had an Aquavit martini and my wife had a spritzer that were both delicious. These people really are innovative and creative. I highly recommend the Hound and Bottle! read more

Just the type of place we were looking for! H&B is an experience that must be seen and tasted. This was our first visit and we will return. We didn't have any of the craft cocktails expertly dispersed by the "Mixologist", but we did witness his work in person and everyone was pleased with their selections as far as we could tell.....we will experience next time. Dining menu was seasonally limited, but still packed a punch for each dish. We ordered the cheese board to start with....my goodness, that was a great spread! Three cheese (Goat Brie, Oregon Blue and another soft cheese whose name escapes me right now - but excellent). The board also came with pickled red onion slices, marinated fig and marinated golden raisins...THE BEST! Speaking of best, the fresh Peach with Burrata was the ultimate summer salad. Now, our proteins....O.M.G. ....we had the H&B burger; cooked to perfection without asking, thick and juicy! We also had the chop...one of the best tasting pork chops EVER (well outside of my own kitchen). Once again, cooked to perfection! All of our dishes were seasoned very well without all the fluff you get at restaurants that try too hard. This place is perfection! Outdoor seating was ample, only a few seats at the bar and the rest of the indoor seating is cozy but spacious. Definitely a place to visit on the Kitsap peninsula....I will go back again and again....this is our new "spot"!!! read more

I loved date night here! Me and my fiance bought tickets to their Shellfish Social and it was such a treat. Most of the dishes on the event menu where oysters and they were perfect. All of the food items where purchased locally so that made me really happy. The owners and staff seem really passionate about their business and craft and it shows. Great vibe at Hound & Bottle. We will definitely be making this our regular spot. read more

Had my first visit to H&B recently - loved the ambiance and service was absolutely fantastic!! That being said, H&B is not your average bar scene. Rather it's an intimate, warm space offering an upscale experience, unique specialty food items and handcrafted artistic cocktails. Where friends and neighbors gather to share stories, enjoy a nightcap and build community. The menu is limited and seemingly pricey for this neighborhood watering hole but the culture they are creating right here in Manette is so unique and truly something you MUST experience. If you're expecting 'pub food' or an expansive beer menu you'll be sorely disappointed. If on the other hand you're looking for quality ingredients, friendly faces and a special place for girls night, date night and meeting up with friends JUST GO you won't regret it. We didn't order food this go around but we'll absolutely be back! read more

The service was great, the cocktails were quite yummy but a bit pricey. The food Wa very good!

Potato wedges plain/boring and better at a grocery store deli.. Sardines and crackers, meh. Good, friendly service.

Hound and Bottle is a hidden gem in the heart of Manette. Their menu changes on a regular basis as they continue to out do themselves with every meal they cook, drink they invent, and every delicious dessert they serve. The staff is friendly and the great food pared with satisfying customers serves make for a great dining experience! read more

Was excited to try here. It's very cute. The service is OUTSTANDING. Everyone is very accommodating, attentive, and plain nice. The atmosphere is great. Even the choice of music is good. It's not very expensive, but dinner for three of us with no alcoholic drinks was $150, which seemed really high for the dinner we got. Now the food. It sounds really interesting and looks really good. It was very disappointing. We ordered one Green salad to share. The greens were beautiful and fresh. There were golden currents and nuts which were great. The dressing was light, but should have had a spark more vinegar or acid. We wanted to munch on bread and they happily brought 4 little nicely toasted slices, although they don't provide it typically. Really, some excellent bread would have been great. We ordered the roasted pork with kale and apples. It was tasty, not exceptional. The pork was shredded which was okay but not what I'd prefer. The apple was delicious as was the sweet potato pancake. (Latkes!). Kale was good, too. Not a lot of meat. We also ordered the special 38 oz ribeye with bone. There was a huge bone (huge!) which was kind of nice to chew on but mostly covered with fat. The meat was almost half fat. It had a herb topping which overpowered the beef, which was okay bc the beef was not really all that tasty or well seasoned. Dessert was cheesecake with a whiskey fig glaze that looked like caramel. It was way over baked. The bottom crust was so hard my fork had trouble cutting into it. The side was so dark it had black on the edge, and it was more an Italian style than NY so it was not at all sweet. Now I'm known in my family for not liking sweet desserts, but this was really unsatisfying . In fact, the three of us didn't even finish the slice. I'm sad. I wanted to love it. It's so cute. The people are so nice. The food was very disappointing. read more

This has to be one of the best spots in the Bremerton area! The attention to detail truly makes it a special place. We loved all the unique flavors on the cheese board. The pork chop was a generous portion cooked wonderfully. We ended our meal with the honeyed rice pudding with rhubarb sweet preserves and just wow! It really does make a memorable date night. read more

What a delight to visit the town I was born in so long ago to discover a wonderful, casual, restaurant and bar in East Bremerton! My husband had what he called one of the most delicious burgers of his life, and I had delicious gnocchi smothered in a rich brisket-based sauce. We started with a field greens salad, All of which came from local growers. The best part for us was delicious Italian wines by the glass. The owners are charming, helpful, and we can't wait to return. The visiting husky was a bonus. read more
