Best Cozy Restaurants in Bainbridge Island

I took an Air Force buddy/Life Friend visiting from Atlanta to brunch. The look on his face when he saw the enormous selection was priceless. We both agreed that the Pasta Station was the shining jewel of the selections. Those fellas knew what they were doing. The general crowd was polite and courteous, and parents minded their children. The view is always a big selling point when eating at Salty's on Alkai, but the view was obscured by a large barge. Nevertheless, it was a great time, great food, and I will definitely take out of town visitors back there again.

Wow - Jeannie wow. It is hard enough to get a reservation - let alone telling everyone how AMAZING it is and worth the wait! We had a 630 reservation (earlier than my preference but what they had available). We were seated promptly by several extremely professional and friendly hosts. I was not aware of the “show” and was extremely surprised when a manager asked (proactively) not to take photos of the anticipated performer. The performer was INSANE - I mean - wow - I sat there shoving my face full of food - and her strength and coordination - and and and. But that aside and performance being grand - nothing compared to the service! Jeannie - you are a god of service! We ended up staying hours - literally just to hang with Jeanie and be so grateful for her knowledge and awesome personality! We ordered a Mecca of foods that didn’t really mesh - and she still somehow managed to use her expertise to course them lovely. There’s a reason The Pink Door has been a local destination for so long - excellent food paired with professionals like Jeanie! Thank you!!! We’ll be back! C&K
