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.

The ones we had were pretty fatty so I wouldn't get them again. The flavor was your typical buffalo sauce. I liked it. The chowder was delicious! I'd get that again for sure. I ordered the cioppino. I loved it! Good amount of clams and shrimp. The fish was a little overcooked but tasted great in the broth. My husband got a turkey cheddar bacon melt, and fries. Fries were great, the sandwich not so much. Really dry and flavorless. Would not recommend. My blood orange fizz drink I got was really good. Is it worth the drive?....yes

Our server was very helpful in ordering and was very friendly. They offer a great happy hour menu at the bar and there is a room to sit in that is over the water and has great views of the harbor.

The sweetness of the mango paired with the saltiness of the tofu was actually perfect, but the bell peppers stood out too much flavor-wise since they tasted watery and under-seasoned. My husband got the peanut waffles and said they were difficult to eat because the waffles were super thick and most of the peanut sauce was concentrated in the middle. I think a lighter peanut sauce would've balanced everything out much better. Overall, if you're really into fresh, ingredient-focused food, this may be the place for you -- it just wasn't my personal cup of tea :) I also wanted to note that the service and overall design of the place were phenomenal, and I'm honestly sad it didn't work out for me because it would make such a perfect study spot.

Then we were greeted by Brandon, one of the two owners. He's delightfully conversational; he made us feel immediately comfortable and cleared a window table for us. Service was top shelf throughout our dining experience. Brandon made cocktails to go with the appetizers, he explained the menu and took dinner orders. I had the leg of lamb and my wife had the steak. Both were cooked to perfection and the sauces were exquisite. Dessert was delicious Mine was the rhubarb upside down cake with ginger ice cream! Yummy The chef Nicholas and other owner stopped by the table to inquire about our dinner, he too was entertaining and conversational. So, I have read rave reviews about their sandwiches so we're coming back to try them. But, don't be fooled this isn't just a sandwich shop nor is it just another steak house. This is extraordinary, I recommend that you try it!

We had been on the road driving from Astoria all day and were looking for a place to have an afternoon snack. When we saw the Geoduck, at first we were a bit skeptical because of the collection of motorcycles in front of the place. Hunger won out over skepticism. Once inside, we were pleasantly surprised by the feeling of the place, it has the sense of an old fashioned diner, decorated with a marine feel. it was warm and inviting. The service was very friendly. There was only one waitress serving tables and the counter, but she did not seem at all stressed. She was doing an excellent job. The menu is a great collection of appetizers, soups, salads and entrees. We settled on the clam chowder and the coconut prawns and both were done to perfection. They also have hamburgers, steaks, salmon, oysters and a lot more. The Geoduck takes its name from the giant clam that can be found in the area. Looking forward to going back.

One time we got to see a mamma and baby elk walk through the field, and there are frequently eagles and salmon feeding on the mouth of the river. Friendly owner and staff.
