Arrived on a very busy Thursday night. The seating is spare downstairs so several folks ordered…read moretheir food and then headed up to The Roost for cocktails. The chicken wings appetizer was tasty with just enough heat to make them enjoyable. Small but meaty. The pizza choice was a risk - a featured specialty pie with veggies and a bit of something dabbed on each slice that looked like a mixture of butter and pimento cheese (pretty sure it wasn't that) but after one bite of the pie I was in love. It had broccolini and other veg, charred and perfectly seasoned, on a sourdough crust scarred from its time in the fire oven. It looked weird but tasted heavenly. The building is small and when it's busy like it was this night, the restaurant sounds reached painful decibel levels. The pizza is worth it, though. Just bring some earplugs.

Super delicious and unique eats! I've never had sourdough pizza before, and it exceeded my…read moreexpectations! The crust had a great crunch but was soft. Highly recommend getting the pork belly bites, so surprised by how yummy that was. Both pizzas we got were also very good. It is a little pricey, but fairly on par with other Whidbey Island restaurant options

We did have to wait a bit longer for one of our tacos to come out, but the server apologized for the delay as she brought out our other food ahead! I appreciated this as I'd rather have part of my order sooner than wait longer for everything to be ready. We honestly weren't sure how quality the Mexican food on a PNW island would be, but this was truly very good! I wish there was a location down in the Tacoma/Puyallup area cause I'd go frequently! If you are in Coupeville and are craving tacos, this is the place to go!

While visiting family on Whidbey Island, we asked a few locals where their favorite Mexican…read morerestaurant was, and every recommendation pointed us to Molka Xete. Now I understand why! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. I believe the owner was the one who served us, and he was incredibly friendly and attentive. The service was excellent, and the restaurant has such a charming atmosphere. They have cozy tables for two as well as larger tables that can comfortably seat a group of 10, making it perfect for any occasion. We ordered the Parrillada (Molcajete), which came sizzling with onions, bell peppers, cheese, sausage, and both chicken and beef fajitas, served with handmade corn tortillas. Everything was incredibly fresh, and you could truly taste the difference in the tortillas they were some of the freshest I've had in a very long time. The chicken and beef were both tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. We also enjoyed the fresh guacamole and chips, burritos, a refreshing limeade, and a Mandarin soda. Every bite was delicious and tasted authentically homemade. One of my favorite parts was the location. We were seated by the window overlooking the waterfront, which made the dining experience even more enjoyable. They also offer free Wi-Fi, which is a nice bonus. If you're in Coupeville or visiting Whidbey Island, Molka Xete is absolutely worth the stop. Delicious authentic Mexican food, wonderful service, fresh handmade tortillas, beautiful waterfront views, and a welcoming atmosphere you really can't ask for more. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town!

The service was great Krista was very nice I came with 5 other people and it cost around $128. The food was very tasty I got the Saal burger it was a basic cheese burger, Cheddar cheese, onion, tomato, lettuce and 1/2 a pound of ground beef with thier Saal sauce. The only reason I rate it a 4 instead of a 5 is because thier was a fly that was kinda annoying. (Would rate it a 4.5 if I could!!!)

Yummy! I first…read morestopped here in September 2024. I decided to go back because I was in stanwood for an errand and I was craving a good brew and some food. When I entered, I was immediately greeted with a smile and a welcome, which felt good. I drove an hour to get there and it just set the tone right away. I was low-key impressed and thankful to have a friendly bartender, as the last time I went (2 yrs. Ago) I felt the service wasn't the best. This was a different bartender. I asked about their brews and was informed they'd switched a bit. So, I ordered the Hazy and the Blonde, both of which are brewed in-house by SAAL. They were. both great. Good body on the IPA and almost no bitterness. The blonde was good too, although blondes aren't my typical go-to personally, so maybe I'm not the best judge of that. The owner came and spoke with me for a minute about their business and how 2020 had inspired them to brew the Hazy. I think it's called "All Love" or something similar, and it had something to do with the riots of 2020 and how we needed more love in the world. I dunno, felt inspired. It was a good conversation and I felt that the owner is passionate about what he does. Which I really liked. A business I want to support. The poutine I ordered was good but not great. I don't usually order poutine so I had low expectations but it just feels like it's just in the menu for the sake of being on the menu. Nothing felt inspired or original and this dish would benefit greatly from a little recipe switch up. Maybe use a better gravy and crispier fries? It could be great. This didn't detract from the experience for me, as like I said, I had no expectations from the food. I just wanted something to stave off the hunger until I got home.

Another excellent dinner of carne asada. As always, I will be back. Thank you, Patron!!!read more

The restaurant was an unexpected surprise!…read more Very clean inside, was seated quickly, especially since you can seat yourself. The service was fast and friendly. We shared a dish.

As always stay safe and healthy out there and see you all at my next bit!

We had a big party and it was a 2+ hour wait. -We hit all the restaurants and everyone told us the same thing. The owner of TLS said he could accommodate us if we split up. -My group sat at the bar. We watched the bartender, who was wearing a top hat and a vest, doing his thing. It was like watching David Copperfield and Picasso mixing drinks! Very fun. -At one point he stood at the door and announced that the bar would soon be closing, the whole place cheered and raised a glass to him. -Needless to say, the ambiance and the vibe were very, very good! -My wife had the chicken tacos and the hummus, which she said were excellent! -I had the Southwest chicken pita, and it was fresh and tasty, esp. the pita!

Back the next weekend with a group of friends to get a big table and order the menu and returned again last night to order a glass of Pinot Grigio and a plate of tacos! I highly recommend the tacos (get 3!) but also the warm olives! the pizza! The Side Bar is run by a married couple, lawyer and judge (thus the name) who are hospitable, fun, welcoming and have designed and crafted a wonderful option for tourists and locals to hang out. I like to sit at the bar and watch bartender Chris concoct drinks, including some with his homemade raspberry jam!!! But tables are comfortable too and great for a group. Looks like they're expanding into the back room soon and plans for that sound like a lot of fun. I highly recommend this for a dinner out or even just a drink before the movie at the Clyde.
