    Reviewing for non Italian menu under new owners. We did not expect such an amazing culinary find in Langley. Yes, most would say Savory is a bit spendy but for the superb dining experience, it's so worth it! It' s small plates style menu ranging in the $13-22 range with a few entrees in the $38 range. Mindfully crafted and chef quality dishes with a generous wine list to pair. All we can say is, it was the most delectable and mind-blowingly flavorful farm to table fine dining experience one can find here in this dinky little town. Simple yet elegant with good flavors. Savory is the perfect description. The service and ambiance were spot on. It was so cozy and relaxing.. we sat on cushy armchairs in a tiny tiny restaurant with four tables for two and one other that seats 4 and another that seats snugly 6. We were in what I thought the worst table (smack dab in the middle) but later realized we still felt like we had privacy and couldn't overhear others' convo. I got a pretty nice view of the water and the chef calmly cranking out amazing dishes one by one. Being it was a Friday night, there were multiple couples that came after the table after us sadly to be met with having to be put on a 30-60 minutes call back wait list. There was only the server and chef on duty. No sous chef, no assistants...I think everyone was ok to be patient and wait. I was secretly happy they care so much about offering quality food and service. The artichoke and kebabs were delish but our favs were the carrots and the salmon. Expertly cooked to PERFECTION. Will leave it at that. You have to just experience for yourselves... it's a take your time and savor finely prepared food and libations..and def not a gorge yourself with large quantity type of a place. Can't wait to go back!

    Portion was Two cup size bolognese

    They don't take reservations so we decided to dine early. We were seated and given water and a limited selection menu. The server told us the portions were large enough to share. Their portions were bird food size and not enough to share. We had their special salad which was tough as rubber kale salad with a Caesar type dressing. For the main course we ordered their bolognese which was quite flavorful. The bread we ordered was called fluffy bread which was pre buttered but it came with neither extra butter nor oil. Their wine selection was very limited since they were out of most wines. The wines they offered weren't that good. We heard that the restaurant had recently sold. It wasn't the quality of caliber of our experience last year. Such a disappointing experience since last year was so much better.

    I would give this a 4.5 if possible but I like to err on the side of positivity. The service here was great and the staff was super friendly. I came here on a Saturday afternoon at 4pm with my boyfriend and 2 dogs and we were seated on the patio. I ordered the carbonara and my boyfriend got the black cod. I enjoyed the carbonara but it wasn't as eggy as I would have liked, and I thought the price was a little steep ($28). I also tried the black cod, which was cooked well but I thought could have been a bit more flavorful, and it was also pretty expensive (~$35, don't remember exact amount). My boyfriend however liked it the way it was. The bread was hot and fresh and the butter was soft and perfectly spreadable. Overall I would say the food was about a 4, 4.5 but the service and ambiance was great!

    Calamari linguini and pork loin

    Recently, my husband and I were in Langley for the first time and went to Savory for our last dinner on Whidbey Island. We got there right at 4:00, when they opened, which I recommend, because they get busy quickly--for good reason. Our meals were delicious! They were unlike any pork loin or calamari we had eaten. Additionally, the wait staff was amazing! They took our pictures (we were obviously tourists), chatted with us, and we're generally very attentive. We were so impressed with the entire experience and would recommend visiting to anyone visiting Langley.

    Great view of the water, we saw some orcas when we were having dinner. Caesar salad was great, the homemade dressing was excellent. Short ribs were perfect and was served with mashed potatoes. Service- excellent Wine selection- good variety

    Matt B.

    Still our favorite go-to date night dinner spot! Finally tried the carbonara (couldn't stop ordering the short ribs, so dang tender) and it's incredible. Love the wine list and we always like to end with the chocolate cake!

    Cassoulet
    Thomas H.

    This restaurant just charmed the hell out of my wife and I tonight. The waitstaff were wonderful, maybe too polite, but in a way that really suits the place. We had a delicious meal that started with a garlic spread on crostini, followed by the pappardelle and cassoulet (pictured). The garlic bread with the slow cooked cassoulet was to die for. We finished the night with a Madeira dessert wine by Rare Wine Cellars. The vibe of this place was perfect for the sleepy town of Langley...it would be an overcrowded mess in a more populated place, and here it can hide as a hidden gem for all who venture out this far. And trust me, there should be people coming out here just to eat at this place!

    3 decades of loyal dining at the Old Mediterranean proves how amazing the food is here…read more OK, when I need a blast of garlic throughout my body the Mediterranean Kitchen is my pit stop... A friendly greeting as I walk into the establishment which is always welcome. A bowl of hot soup comes quickly after taking a seat... Pondering through the menu which I know by heart I order either the Shish Tawook, which is charbroiled tenderized chicken served over rice with a garlic sauce, YUM. However if that's not grabbing me I get the Kafta Kabob served over Yellow Rice, Hummus, Salad and Pita Bread to scoop up all those flavors. Occasionally I have the best of all world plate which is The Combination Plate featuring the Kabob Kafta kabob, Shish Tawook and lamb kabob charbroiled with tomatoes and onions. Now if that does not excite you nothing will... The place can get a rocking loud cause it's not huge but it has all the comforts of a big loud family meal. Parking is limited so be patient but the food is worth it 1000%.... And bring some mints cause it's a garlic night out...

I think the owner honestly loves the food that gets served and that translate to really good food. I was amazed at the flavor profile. I loved the vibrant taste and extravagant use of garlic in al the dishes. We even brought our 1 year old here and she loved a lot of the food even some of the more flavorful ones. I think I can echo that some of the grilled meat can be a little dry or rough. I do think that might just be the cut of meat that is used and maybe that's how it might taste? But I have faith that with some different meat cuts those can come out a lot juicier. Even at 4 stars, I do suggest anyone reading this to go check this place out. Its definitely a party of flavors.

The woman serving us seemed flippant and cold. I don't need my butt kissed but pleasantries would be nice. She barely checked on us and we saw her a total of 3 times. Once to take our order, once to deliver the food, and lastly to drop off the check. No refills on drinks, or to ask how our food was. We asked for some bread to hold us over before our meal arrived and she said it was in the oven. We ended up getting the bread after we received our meal, and it was just bland and meh. For the expensive prices, I would expect better service.

First, the couscous is not the usual couscous we've all had. This is Lebanese couscous, which is so different as to be unrecognizable as "couscous". It is so very good, I could have a whole meal of that and be happy. I generally prefer baked falafels, but this fried one was great; crispy on the outside, and soft and green on the inside. I've avoided dolma in the past, as I had it once years ago and it was terrible. But this dolma was good enough for me to stop avoiding it in the future. People were very nice, and it took less than 10 minutes for my order to be ready. It's a grocery store with a deep selection of many items, such as spices, pastas, canned fish, .... (see photos). I enjoyed this enough, I came back again about a week later for another Sampler Plate meal. My only slight peeves are, I wish there were a bit more to the salad (which isn't even listed as one of the sampler items, so a bit hard to complain!), and that the pita had some whole grains in it (I find white wheat boring).
