We could not have been happier with the entire experience. Highly recommend!

I had an amazing meal here. The food here truly rocks…read more Let's start with dessert. Sorrel panna cotta with fresh raspberries on top. Unlike ANYTHING I have ever tasted. Lemony sweet, with refreshing topped raspberries to bring you back to your senses. Sticky toffee pudding was a contrast to the fresh panna cotta. It was so scrumptious and rich. It's like the British pudding, essentially like a cake/muffin with a delicious sauce. The main meal was mushroom risotto with asparagus. I'm not a big risotto person but there were only 2 vegetarian options on the menu for the entrees so I needed to pick something! It was nice and buttery, but could have used more asparagus in my opinion for variety of textures. The other option for vegetarian entrée was a polenta! It was decent but this place could definitely do better vegetarian entrees! I have full faith on that. Appetizers are delightful - we had the crispy cauliflower with a chutney that was surely inspired by some tangy Indian tastes. The other dish for appetizers was patatas bravas - delightful. The menu is not overwhelming, it's seasonable and there will be something you can enjoy. Parking and seating is super limited so make sure you arrive on a slow day, arrive early, or are prepared to wait. Tip is also included. Good for special occasions. Bring your love, your best friend, and/or your grandma. Clean and cozy. Has outdoor seating too in the front and back.

The owners, cooks and servers are friendly and engaging. This is a must stop for one of the best chefs I have ever had the pleasure of dining at their restaurant. The owner Dray is a super nice guy. The atmosphere is sheik upscale clean restaurant. Must stop on Vashon island in the heart of downtown. One cool thing to share about the owner Dray, as a curious gardener I was asking about what this unusual vegetable was in his counter. the owner gave me a piece of a vegetable called a pink banana squash he was getting ready to prepare after I asked him what the vegetable was. Now I was able to prepare the vegetable myself and have some seeds to try and grow the vegetable myself. What a kind gesture. I really treasure this restaurant very much.

I randomly craved a pancake - the last time I wanted pancakes was over 5 years ago - and they delivered on a standard, big ole guy. I did struggle in ordering food, as I eat very healthy typically so I opted for a DIY omelette, adding spinach and mushrooms. My party also got the Mcclure Sandwich w bacon, which was seemed to meet their expectations as well. This is a sports bar - it's a little divey but the clean kind. I read a few reviews that surprised me because I don't think Sporty's is advertising anything outside of expectation - but it's very clean, which is nice. There was only 1 server working and she was busy on a weekday (4 parties, 1 of which was 5 people and folks still coming in), seemed like 1 bar back for those in the bar (which was lowkey popping for a weekday brunch time, looking like locals having drinks to kick it rather than eating). My only caveat would be if you go towards the restroom - there is a super strong scent of cigarettes, as the door to the back is near there. It's incredibly strong. The bathroom was still super clean and did NOT smell at all. Again, this is a sports bar - I don't think it's fair to downrate them for that, because I just don't know what one would expect. There's a strong local vibe here I haven't seen in a while, and it's clear they value their connection with customers.

I started without the Corned beef hash…read more Well, at least that's what they billed it as I think that the oil they used to fry was probably the most industrial version of canola byproduct possible. And now in hindsight, I'm going to presume that what they called corn beef was probably some pink slime aggregate that was marketed under that name given seasoning and whatever else. I tried to beat some of the flavor by having a little bit of someone else's pancake, but whatever was in the pancake batter just tasted like VOCs and other assorted chemistry I wish I was joking. If I was, my gut wouldn't feel like the absolute cesspool that it has become trying to pass this ***slop. Someone else had fried potatoes and I thought that at least potato might be a little bit more pure since it was a whole ingredient, but it just tasted like resin because of how long the grease had been on the fryer that had cooked it If I didn't know this country for what it is, I would have called the health inspector on the place

The pulled pork sandwich had what seemed to be nearly half a bottle of mustard mixed with a lot of coleslaw and a little bit of smoked pork buried within as though it were a mafia informant that got the cement shoes treatment. The French Dip sandwich also had what seemed to be a half a bottle of horseradish cream sauce... which burned my eyeballs and fumigated my nostrils! I could only take about 3 bites before I couldn't handle the potency any longer. It was literally a horseradish sandwich with a side of weak broth. The abundance of condiments on both of the $25 overpriced sandwiches turned the bread into mush leaving us on the Brink of sandwich hell. The service, however, was good - I was able to get a different sandwich with no questions asked. Sadly I must award you no points for the food, and may God have mercy on your soul.

We came in here with our family and friends for an early dinner and it was truly a treat between the kid-friendly, low-key atmosphere and the food. We started with the Italian Charcuterie which featured a variety of fresh imported Italian cured meats with Castelvetrano olives and the kiddos devoured it. Our family ordered two pizzas - the Diggy and the San Gennaro and honestly, they were both so good I couldn't choose between the two if I had to. We also ordered the Spaghetti alla Chitarra - a creamy ricotta with fresh lemon zest and some arugula - and it was hands down delicious. I looked forward to the little leftovers we had and they were still good reheated. The ingredients were fresh and the combination of flavors in each of our meals was truly noteworthy.

It honestly tasted like water infused with lime juice. No hint of all the wonderful flavors that make tom yum so delightful. Perhaps that was a bad batch. Otherwise everything was nice.

Latte: This was excellent--balanced and rich. I personally dislike coffee that is too bitter or sour, so this flavor profile was perfect for me. Ham & Egg Bagel: This was a surprise hit! It exceeded my expectations with a generous, thick layer of scrambled eggs and delicious Italian ham. Chocolate Croissant: This was pretty standard/okay.
