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.

We were greeted promptly and a table for two had just been cleared. Service is always friendly here but the kitchen can get a little behind on a busy evening, but again we were in luck. We ordered our burgers, mine a double with onions pressed into the patty and one order of fries to share. The kitchen got the order out promptly. Yummy! BTW we chose to eat in the bar area, it can be a bit noisy, we like it! But if you're looking for quiet conversation ask for a table in the back or out on the sidewalk.

The Bainbridge Brewing facility at Coppertop (not the alehouse downtown), which is the facility…read morewhere the beer is brewed, is a nice place to hang for a beer or two, although it can get busy on weekend afternoons. It seems to be a favorite place for families to gather during those times, which can make finding a seat difficult. By early evening, most folks have cleared out, and it's pretty empty as the 9:00 hour approaches. We particularly like sitting upstairs since there's pinball close by (four machines), which we used quite a bit on our last visit. And, of course, there's their beer, which I love. My favorite is the Eagle Harbor IPA, their signature West Coast IPA. Their Kömmuter Kölsch is also one of my favorites (and likewise my girlfriend's favorite). I frequently buy cans of both to take home (which you can also buy at the Safeway on High School Road, and at the alehouse on Winslow near the ferry terminal).

Had to wait 20 min for a table for 4. Small-ish interior with the classic diner counter seats and also a few tables. Has a small outdoor area in front. Down-to-earth diner look, with some artwork by local artists on the walls. Standard diner menu, with breakfast items like omelets, benedicts etc on one side, and burgers, sandwiches and drinks on the other. I got the steak and eggs. Eggs, hash brown and toast are pretty standard, hard to get those wrong. The steak which was a 5oz sirloin was better than I expected. It was actually cooked to medium, not chewy and had decent flavor. There was enough food on the $19 plate to fill up. Food was served in reasonable time. Did take a few attempts to wave down someone to take our order and get the check, probably because it was busy.

Kudos to our server, Kat, as she was so smiley and friendly! We ordered the house rolls that came with honey butter and salmon dip that came with house made crackers. These were both amazing!!!

I ordered the catch of the day: pan roasted Coho salmon. So flavorful and cooked perfectly. Desert was the coconut cake with homemade vanilla ice cream. Flavors were great but the cake was too dense for my liking. The ice cream however, so creamy and perfect!!! This is a great place for a date night or special occasion.

A wise person once said, 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it. It appears to have new…read moreownership/management that has 'lost the plot'. Sadly, The Madison Diner missed that briefing. 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.

A nice place for a mid-afternoon snack and drink around 3:30 pm, there were plenty of seats and our server was terrific. Great music and a relaxing meal. 3 of us shared the tonno salad ($21) and quattro formaggi pizza ($28). The salad was very good and the almonds added a nice crunch. The pizza was definitely enough for 3. It was really salty. Now we love cheese but with this combo, you could only really taste salt and what tasted and smelled like provolone. No seasonal greens on it. Good drinks: 1 beer, and housemade limeade and lemonade. Lunch for 3 all in = $95. Ooomph, pretty pricey for 1 pizza, 1 salad, 1 beer, and 2 non-alcoholic drinks.

Pizza is adequate but overpriced…read more My problem with them is with their check calculations. We had a party of five and the check arbitrarily added 20% for 'Large Party Gratuity". Then, after giving my credit card, the final bill for signature had an added a 3% credit card surcharge. And, on top of that sales tax added onto the whole total (meal, large party gratuity & credit car surcharge). AND, there was a line to add and additional tip. Total bill was 35% more than the cost of the meal. I probably would have given a 20% tip, but resent the fact that they arbitrarily added the large party gratuity. I don't recall anything on the menu that gave a forewarning of the large party tip adder nor the 3% credit card surcharge. I think this should be more prominent on their menu. Also, charging sales tax on the gratuity and credit card surcharge is highly unusual.

This is more than a shoutout... it is a full-on, well deserved tribute to Sully's Bistro in…read moreSuquamish. This review will be a bit long, but I feel it's important to acknowledge when businesses go well above and beyond... into orbit in this case. Not only did they work to exceed expectations, but to set the ultimate standard for customer service and to demonstrate a commitment to caring for people beyond the customer-business relationship. This post is also a message both as an endorsement for diners, but also an advisory to every other business in this county. Take note - this is a roadmap for how you win forever customers: Last Saturday, my daughter got married in Poulsbo, in a ceremony that involved guests from Alaska, California, and Colorado. On the Sunday morning afterward, my wife Gayle and I threw a brunch celebration for our out of town guests as a thank you for making the journey for our daughter's special day. We made the reservation back in February in order to ensure they would have room for 20+ guests. At some point between then and now, Sully's decided to stop serving brunch. We didn't need to be their problem. It would have been easy to call or email us and let us know that our plans would have to change... with sincere apologies and an explanation as to why - blah blah blah, and with enough notice to get a reservation elsewhere, maybe. They didn't. In fact, they didn't even tell us they'd stopped brunch service. Some of our guests were calling us and asking: "Hey, Google says they're closed. Are you sure about this?" We didn't know, but figured we'd show up and find out. Instead, Sully's made sure to have enough staff a few hours early on Sunday, enough food, broke out the old brunch recipe book and dusted it off, and cleared the patio and set it up. All of that work just to ensure our guests had brunch. And a fabulous time. This was solely for our benefit. They weren't going to make a lot of money on just our party. Truth be told, they might have even lost some on it. They could have just shrugged us off. But they honored their commitment, even though it was a hassle, and a lot of extra work. Even though it meant knowing they'd have to special order food just for us, even though it meant more expense. And - not to belabor the point - they trusted US to honor *our* agreement to come. They hadn't taken a deposit. We could have ghosted them, especially if we'd believed Google's page saying they were closed. After all, we were strangers to them. But they treated us like family. And then... ...they crushed it with the food, the drinks, the service. They setup a special U-shaped table, complete with linens and flowers, and showcased a view of the Duwamish Sea that is unmatched in Kitsap County dining. I'd list all the food items and give a review - each one a culinary gem. But that would be cruel. I'd be bragging about food we had that won't be available to the community at large again (unless they bring back brunch... pretty please). No, what I wanted to call out was how deeply touched my wife and I were at their willingness to honor their promise, our reservation, and then go the extra mile to make it special. They didn't have to. But they did. And our guests were incredibly impressed, both with the food and the service. Thank you, with our whole heart, to the people of Sully's... from the owner on down to the staff. You made our day so very special. And while they may not serve brunch anymore... I urge you to go there for lunch or dinner. Support a restaurant that demonstrates loves for its community through its actions, not just words or fancy FB posts. And get the wings! (My personal fave) You won't regret it. Cheers to you, Sully's! We'll be diners with you for life.
