It had been a few years since we visited THS and we heard that they redid the interior and possibly…read morechanged management, so we decided to give it another chance. The cocktails all seem to be named after nautical terms, likely a nod to their island locale. I got the Buoy, which was a tequila-based cocktail with blackberry, Campari, and rosemary. It was quite refreshing. We split the smoked salmon chips and dip, because we both love smoked salmon and Old Bay. This was tasty, but I think a cream cheese dip requires a chip that's sturdier than a potato chip. I ordered the seared ahi and my spouse ordered the burger. We both enjoyed the seared ahi, though I wish it had more of the whipped tahini and harissa. We agreed that the burger was solid, but not the best restaurant burger we've had. We finished with the key lime pie and pot de crème. Recommend both (though maybe avoid the pot de crème if you don't like coffee)!

If you haven't been in a while, go now. We'll definitely be back soon. 5 stars!

That's their privilege and right as a business. This veteran does not expect this store to offer a discount. No doubt, there probably aren't many veterans living on Vashon Island, so their policy affects very few residents... They promote their Memorial Day and Veterans Day sales big time, but not a cent of support for those veterans who have served this republic in uniform in its defense -- including those who serve only their avarice. This has nothing to do with politics, but everything about having a double standard of what you do, versus what you serve. There are many hardware stores off-island that do offer veterans discounts.

When I was struggling to mount a shelf, I got advice from one of the employees who was super friendly and explained to me exactly how to screw in the L brackets I was struggling with. He walked me over to the aisle and showed me exactly which screws would and wouldn't work for my project and explained to me how the screws would interact with different wall materials. Most recently I dropped by just before they closed to pick up drywall paste and a pallette knife. Despite me walking in ten minutes before they were supposed to shut, they didn't make me feel rushed at all and helped me find what I was looking for.

Anytime I come here the staff is very friendly and helpful. The woman who seems to be the manager or owner (I believe her name is Mari) always goes above and beyond. She and one of the employees worked really hard to take slip joint nut off of a p-trap for me so I would only have to purchase the nut and not a new p-trap, which saved me about $12. I thought the two items had corroded and fused together but she let me know that the issue was the installer used plumbers tape or a similar product (she had another word for it, which I can't recall), and if I cleaned it out before reinstalling then the issue wouldn't reoccur.
