Great wines and phenomenal charcuterie boards…read more The owner is a retired chef who's passion is wine (and pairing it with delicious things). I stopped by for a glass of wine and ended up leaving with 2 bottles plus a new appreciation for Washington GSMs and pinots! Purchased a 2017 GSM (grenache-syrah-mouvedre) from Latta, Columbia Valley AVA ($25) and a 2019 Syrah from Rockgarden Vineyards, Walla Walla AVA. Looking forward to trying both soon! Definitely splurge in the charcuterie boards; they are works of art!

Can't say for sure, but all the people there were Caucasian and we are not, sooo... Gonna take a stab in the dark, but I bet the owner is white too, which could mean our money isn't good there.

Discover is an accepted form of payment. An adorable farm store featuring farm-to-table products such as eggs, yogurt, cheese, cheesecake. A variety of pantry items are also available to pair with one's fresh purchase. Support of local products is evident and appreciated. Cider and wine can be purchased to compliment cheese and crackers. Cheese can be purchased in pre-weighed rounds or by the ounce. I purchased the Queso Diablo, Basil Ladysmith and Dill cheese along with some crackers. Service was friendly. It would have been helpful choosing if samples were available.

What a nice find! On our way up to Canada we found this little shop. Not too far off the 5, its a…read moregreat little excursion. They do have a restroom outside in the building next to their main shop which they keep very nice. There's also some sheep and pigs that the kids like to say hi to. The cheese itself is amazing and the can only be bought here since its super fresh and isn't the type that will last long enough for store shelf shipping. We tried them all and ended up taking home a lot. Mostly for gifts and to share, but also to enjoy with some of the cider they sell there. Our favorites, the dilly dilly and the queso diablo. Can't wait for the next cheese night (tonight) to dig in and indulge a little more. And this is coming from a guy that doesn't like cheeses (its my wife that likes the cheese). These are good though. I like them.

Good service and tasty food. Just don't love when food isn't marked with prices and you're left…read moreguessing costs. All muffins were unmarked for price and we didn't see prices anywhere for the muffins. Also for five muffins and two almond puffs I was expecting to spend less than $42.23- that's an average of $6 (with tax) for each item which is pretty hefty. We enjoyed the almond puffs the most then the blackberry cobbler muffin- the rhubarb and white chocolate strawberry don't have much flavor but tasted sweet. The snickers and chocolate almond poppyseed were just too sweet for my tastes- the almond extract in the poppyseed muffin was overpowering. They do have a bathroom for customers, an area to sit and eat plus a bunch of wine and other items for sale. We got a punch card- 12 muffins purchased gives you a free muffin. Not sure if we will be back that way but figured we were almost halfway to getting that free muffin so why not!

And it wasn't too cold outside. They had heaters that helped keep warm while waiting. The server was very friendly and had good recommendations. We ordered a dozen of 4 different types of oysters, an order of crab, shrimp, and a chowder of some sort. The food came out pretty quick especially having every single oyster shucked by hand. The food was delicious, it all came in a tray with ice, and plated beautifully. There was a couple different sauces and they went really well with everything.

Pretty nice place to dine in. Just chill and relax. All the staff are friendly and full of smile…read more When I got there the line was pretty long, but it was not a long wait. I was seated pretty fast since lots of seating inside. This restaurant sells oysters mostly, not lots of choices. If you like oysters, this is where you wanna go. I ordered 4 different raw oysters, shrimps, and smoked fish (tuna is what they offered for the day). Oysters were good; smoked fish was okay; shrimps had no flavor. I just hope, at least there is clam chowder - considering there are not many food choices. I may still come, I'm just expecting few more choices to satisfy my pallete :)

Stopped by here today for the Festival of Family Farms. It was fun to see a few of the babies and…read morelearn a bit about the cows. The real treat was the cheeses and butters for purchase. We bought the Queso Con Salsa, red pepper with onion and garlic and chive with onion. The first two were our favorites to just eat straight out of the package. The last we made into little open face grilled cheeses using the two different butters we bought (herbs de Provence and garlic with sea salt). Easily the best little appetizer! We will definitely be purchasing more in the future. Yes, they do cost a bit much but you pay for what you get!

We stopped here to check out their products and hopefully try some. They did have a case of…read moreproducts to sell, but they did not offer us any samples or anything. It's a fairly small place and I can see where it might be expensive to sample things but I think it would have helped to offer some. Anyway, we bought chocolate milk, butter, cheese curds and a specialty cheese. Everything I have tried has been really good, but you can apparently buy it in farmer's markets in Seattle and at Whole Foods, so I am not sure it is worth the trip (if you live in Seattle).

We headed over for dinner to celebrate a special occasion, and we were glad we'd made a reservation because the place was packed! The ambiance here is dark and elegant - not something I necessarily expect in Anacortes, but it set the perfect tone for a special evening. Our server, Aimee, who I knew from local Yelp events years ago, was absolutely fantastic. She knew everything on the menu, and by the time she described everything we asked about, we had trouble not ordering it all. But first, we started with a bottle of perfectly chilled sauv blanc while we perused the menu. I was impressed by the varied selection of food. They have everything from burgers to ribeye, and all very fairly priced. We started with an order of calamari, perfectly fried and served with a citrussy, aioli-style sauce. For dinner, Dude loved their fish 'n chips while I devoured a plate of fresh king salmon served atop crispy risotto and the most amazing pesto lemon cream sauce. After we enjoyed sharing a dish of tasty creme brulee, Aimee shared that they serve brunch here too! I had no idea, but looking at the menu and hearing that they serve mimosas, we'll definitely be back. We also got a mini tour of their adorable speakeasy style bar and huge in-progress beer garden too. I'm definitely keeping Tasha Lee's on my Anacortes rotation!

Come on - giant trays of brownies. Stop it now. Too tempting. Loved the giant pickle that came with my sandwich too.
