Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Skagit Valley / La Conner

Anthony's Homeport, Everett, has been our "go-to" restaurant for years. The ambiance, the friendliest people and great food. Having a conversation is extremely easy. You do not have to be loud for your voice to be heard. The fact that there is a great view North and West adds to the relaxed atmosphere. Oh yes: parking is never an issue. This is a plus, plus! Thank you very much!! Tim Murphy

Superb, as usual. The carrot sformato was an unusual find and quite delicious. The addition of olives to the blood orange and fennel salad hit just the right acid note, Mama’s meatballs were pure beef with a strong dash of anise seed, and the accompanying marinara had been simmering for ages to pick up that deep complexity of flavors and great balance between sweet and slightly acid.

What a lovely dinner. We arrived very early before our reservation time and were accommodated very quickly. The restaurant was decked out in Christmas splendor and was warm and inviting! The food was fabulous (can you say fig pizza?) and the service was excellent and top notch. I am very impressed with the dedication of all the employees at the restaurant tonight given it was a holiday evening. (12/24) Thank you Anthony’s!

The mushroom risotto was incredible! The staff was amazing and super friendly.

Salty's exceeded our expectations. We have lived in Seattle for over 20 years and never had dinner at Salty's. We didn't know whether or not to trust the reviews. We absolutely loved our dinner and evening. The staff all the way from the hostess to the kitchen staff to the servers were extremely welcoming, nice and professional. The atmosphere is really special with dim lights, beautiful holiday decorations and a stunning view of the Seattle Downtown. The food was also fantastic. Salty's has an old school, classy vibe which was exactly what we were looking for to enjoy a joint birthday and holiday family meal.
