I used to come here for my work lunch break nearly EVERY DAY. (Yes. Nearly $60 / day)…read more I haven't been going for a long time as the prices are inordinate. But! I love the managers and some of the long term staff. Today I decided to give it another go. Now, I'm going to say this KNOWING I'm insanely picky. I ordered the sashimi tuna tacos with no coleslaw. It was DRY - ZERO sauce. I dumped all the tuna into one little pile. I should have taken a picture. It was less than 1/4 cup of Tuna. Nearly $20 bucks. I took ONE bite. It was grizzly and tasted NOTHING like tuna sashimi. It just tasted like old fish. They were gracious enough to take it off my ticket. Then! Let's talk about the VOLUME ON THE TV! They've NEVER wanted to be considered a sports bar. Game is on but the volume is minimal to none. OMG. Tonight it was RIDICULOUS. I asked the bartender to please turn it down. She did, a little. But. When I'm YELLING across two feet at the bartender, she can't hear me and I can't hear her?!?! Then she kept talking with her back turned ‍. When I asked if she'd turned down the volume? She said "I did, but commercials are always louder in case you left the room". After paying $25 dollars for ONE glass of wine, I couldn't take it anymore. I send dozens of tourists here EVERY WEEK. I think they'd be fine. However, I won't be back anytime soon.

I was eager to return to this establishment, since I haven't been here in a few years. Regrettably, today's visit was a disappointment. Maybe when I return things will be good again? THE ROSES: TMD is a restaurant I dearly want to like a lot more than I do right now. For those who are retro fans, the dining space, which is an impeccably restored authentic diner, is a real treat. Restrooms are clean. The staff, while sometimes rather confused, tries hard and is pleasant. THE THORNS: It's the food, stupid. This establishment, which used to serve authentic diner cuisine now seems to be excessively 'interpreting' dishes, and they're too derivative for their own good. The most egregious example was the Chicken Fried Steak, which was battered and fried *chicken* smothered in sausage gravy. Note to the owners/chefs: they call it Chicken Fried STEAK for a reason. I ordered the biscuits and gravy instead, which was uninspired. The sausage gravy itself was quite good, but the biscuits, which they boast about, were dry and hard. I get better out of a tube of Pillsbury 'Grands' buttermilk biscuits from the grocery store. My wife's Joe's Special was also a disappointment: the chunks of overdone ground beef appear to have been diced of bits of Sysco hamburger patties, and the dish was assembled with indifference. The tomatoes were uniquely flavorless, and the whole dish was rather under seasoned. On top of it all, a request for ketchup (which should always be at the table in a diner) was forgotten, and I was still billed for the more expensive CFS rather than the Biscuits and Gravy I ended up getting. Also sorely missed were the Bloody Marys. These were a highlight. Did they decide not to renew their liquor license? THE VERDICT: All in all, a once stellar homage to diners has slid into overpriced mediocrity. The building is the same, but the soul is gone. If you want a true diner experience, I suggest you ride the ferry over to Seattle and visit either Voula's (U District) of The Chelan Cafe (West Seattle). The Madison Diner is a DINO (Diner In Name Only). Neither recommend nor discourage. Your results may vary.

While it has always been a great spot, they have managed to improve even since our last visit - great food, lovely ambiance, and outstanding service. We were a little worried about getting a table as you cannot make reservations for parties fewer than 5, but we were seated immediately and greeted warmly by the staff as we walked in. Dinner was reasonably priced, and each dish we had was wonderful. Our waitress was incredibly attentive without being hovering - an art form if you ask me - and even made sure to wish my wife a happy birthday. We left happy, well fed, and unanimously determined to get back there soon. Many thanks to the Bistro Team for a great evening.

The ragu had incredible depth of flavor with just the right amount of saltiness, and the ossobuco was beautifully cooked and super tender. * ​Burrata Caprese: Fresh, creamy, and made even better by a unique pistachio pesto. * ​Starters: A bit of a mixed bag. We had a couple of other starters that were really good, though the roasted potatoes with spicy tomato sauce/aioli and goat cheese stuffed dates were just okay. ​The Miss & Service Notes: * ​Seafood Paella: The biggest letdown of the night since it was the dish I was most excited for. Very bland and lacking depth--I actually ended up mixing leftover ragu sauce into it just to give it some flavor! * ​30-Min Chicken Warning: A friend wanted the half chicken, but we had to pass because the server mentioned a 30-minute cook time after we asked. It would be super helpful if that wait time was explicitly noted on the menu! * ​Menu Wish: Was secretly hoping for an octopus/polpo dish given their tapas focus, but no luck this time. Verdict: Great prices and awesome value overall. Stick to the rich pastas, braised meats, and pick your starters carefully!

Currently, you can leave a message or call at 4:30 pm for a reservation. Our party wanted an early dinner at 5:00 pm, so this was less than ideal. We were seated as walk ins a little before 5 pm (thank you), however immediately were pressured on our dining time limit. We were even instructed as to what dishes we could not order due to our restricted dining time. Ok fair, we did not have reservations for the aforementioned reasons. On the other hand, when you pay this much for a meal, it certainly did not create a nice and welcoming atmosphere. Now to the food, it was a "Meatloaf situation" with three out of four dishes were not bad. Our guests ordered the halibut and the ribeye, both were satisfied with the cook and seasoning of their dishes. My wife ordered the cauliflower steak and I ordered the elk chop. My wife's dish was very well seasoned...mine was not. The elk was not well butchered, however, it was well cooked. The rhubarb gastrique was very creative and arguably the best addition to the plate, however was not enough to carry the dish. It was served with potatoes dauphinoise and asparagus. The asparagus was atrocious, not seasoned at all and fibrous. The potatoes were well executed, however were not seasoned appropriately or at all as I was not even able to detect any salt whatsoever. Poulsbo chefs and cooks, taste your damn food before sending it out!! This is an extremely basic rule. Poulsbo seems to be built on an underwhelming food experience that is not in any way appropriately seasoned (Crabtree Kitchen, The Loft) - likely propped up by the tourist traffic with either pedestrian palates or who simply do not know better. Even decent restaurants such as Burrata Bistro fail in that their menu is too big and they never, and I repeat never change it. Summary: Hopefully the kitchen is just working out some kinks, but be prepared for bill that is greater than $300 for a party of (4) if everyone orders (1) drink and main course. Also, if you have my experience, send the food back, perhaps that will signal the cooks as to the need to season the food and check the quality before sending it out.

She was friendly, upbeat, informative and appropriately attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with her. We ordered brunch: Eggs Benedict and the San Juan Scramble. My wife said the Eggs Benedict were the best she ever had. It was simple, but each element was prepared to perfection and the combination was delicious. I would agree but that is based on the one bite I was allowed! My scramble was great. Perfectly cooked eggs, bacon, and potatoes. Our plates were both clean. We didn't get pictures, but our plates looked just like the pictures on their brunch menu online. What a great start to our day! Parking is usually not a problem, but today parking in the garage one level below the restaurant was a little tight.
