Really loved this place! I'd say 4.5 stars. We came here while visiting Port Townsend for a few days. In my opinion, this was the best place we went to while we were there (though maybe tied with another place). Fiance and I both got pasta dishes and they were both amazing. Great sauces, with many fresh ingredients and good quality cheeses. The sauce for the Gorgonzola penne was perfect. Service was very nice too. For dessert, we got the bread pudding. Only thing I wasn't super impressed with. First, it was obscenely large... like, two already large halves that perhaps should have been separated? I was almost wondering... should I find this offensive somehow? Oh well, we took the other half home :) Otherwise, it was good, but I think it would have been better if the whipped cream was fresh (instead of from a can) and the pudding was served warm. An in fact, when we finished it at home, we warmed it up and I think that really improved it.
It was such a cute place in downtown of Port Townsend. We went there based on the yelp reviews and it did not disappoint us for sure. The pork slobby joes was amazing. The wild boar meat has a sweet and sour taste in it but not the sweet/sour fast food kind taste. The bun is soft and the onions added the special flavor of it. hmmmmm. However, the melt brie was a bit bland. We asked to add chicken with it. But we couldnt taste that much neither brie nor chicken. :(
Great atmosphere, and great menu with lots of seafood options. The seafood is high quality, and they have generous portions. We had the $15 pesto mussel appetizer which was stellar. The basil butter with fresh bread was also a good dipping side. The $26 cioppino had the taste and mushy consistency of a frozen stew reheated, livened up with some fresh clams, capers, and shrimps. Too expensive for a dish that could have been much brighter and fresher. The $25 paella was well made but saffron pervaded the entire flavor. Overall, the food is good, but the price on the seafood entrees is inflated. 3.5 stars
$2 mimosas on Sunday! Can't beat that!
An excellent place to eat and relax. Small cafe kicking out high quality everything. We will be coming back.
