41 Best Seafood Restaurants near Bainbridge Island

“Wow! Where to start... First is the oyster happy hour. Great prices and all regional oysters from local farms. If you are there for happy hour at least a dozen is a must. From the menu we had two crudo (scallop and albacore) and each had such interesting flavors. The scallop included some vanilla in the oil that pairs perfectly, and also included sea buckthorn which was new to us but was delicious. Finally we also had the clams and muscles which were excellent but the focaccia bread was the clear winner.... The staff were very friendly and the restaurant space was very comfortable. Definitely a spot we will be returning to!“

“Super friendly and fast service. Staff works well together and the food is outstanding!“

“This post is from Pacific Northwest Foodies. Doc’s Marina Grill ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve been on the quest for a great Crab Louie salad for a few years. Sadly, this classic crab salad is hard to find even in states like Washington. I suspect it has to do with most people not wanting to pay a lot of money for a salad, but if you’ve ever had a great one, you know this one is worth it. After doing a lot of research, I made a point to try the one at Doc’s Marina Grill on Bainbridge Island, Washington. There’s also a location in Port Townsend, Washington. For starters, I ordered a cup of Doc’s House Made Clam Chowder ($8) - famous because it’s “oh-so-good!” It needed a sprinkle of salt, but it was very good. For my entrée, I ordered Doc’s Dungeness Crab Louie ($38) - mixed greens topped with tender crab, seasonal vegetables, heirloom tomatoes and Doc’s house-made Louie dressing. I was impressed! I would rate Doc’s Crab Louie a 4/5. It was beautifully presented, had a generous portion of crab, and the house made Louie dressing was excellent! I would give this salad a perfect rating if they removed the red onion, and added a few black olives and asparagus spears. Even so, I was very happy with my salad and would rank it among one the best Crab Louie’s I’ve ever had. It is certainly the best I’ve had in Washington state. In addition to serving great food, I really enjoyed the ambience of Doc’s, and the service was excellent! I look forward to visiting again and try and some new menu items. *The upstairs level and bathrooms are wheelchair accessible. * There is an opening above the urinal that is a giant periscope. It provides a panoramic view of Eagle Harbor. It was designed by Lee Scott, a Carnegie Mellon graduate student. If you don’t use a urinal, but are interested in seeing the periscope, staff will clear the room so you can check it out too. I didn’t know about this until after my visit. Next time, I will be sure to check it out. 😊 Highly Recommended!!!“

“Agate Pass Cafe is our favorite restaurant in the area! The food and service are always wonderful and the new location is beautiful.“

“If I were going to suggest anything, it would be to put a sign or something outside! It's tucked inside a minimall near a half dozen other eateries and a movie theater. Once we found it . . . True hospitality and wonderful food. I had cioppino and my husband the lamb ragu. Both were terrific. Highly recommend.“

“Beautiful area to have an event and the staff is lovely. Just want future people to know that residents are able to hear all toasts and speeches and music. The entire community knows your business. If full names, places are used the community can hear it. If you do not want this I would set noise limit with your wedding planner or whomever is in-charge of that.“

“Awsome drinks, food and service. Ask for the Sal Special Mezcal Margarita!“

“Popular spot because of the great marina views, outdoor patio, good beer, casual atmosphere and good food. Sometimes there is a line to order your food so just be patient.“

“After having been to Driftwood twelve times I can confidently say it’s the only restaurant in Seattle worth dining at.  Lots of places make claims about freshness and local ingredients, but chef Dan Mallahan shops at the Farmers Market two days a week. It’s not a joke or a gimmick. If you want to eat food grown exclusively in Washington State, that tastes real, then Driftwood is the spot. They serve tomatoes that actually have flavor, delicious veggie dishes, and meat and fish that are tender and juicy. They combine so many flavors in a subtle harmony making each bite you take delightful. Not to mention the killer cocktails.  The vibe is beautiful but chill. The staff are lovely and kind. Everything about Driftwood is real. The food, the people, even the hand towels in the bathroom.  Concerned about prices at a farm-to-table restaurant and getting enough to eat? Go with a friend and share two starters and a main. For example, I just had the Olsen Farm Kennebec JoJos, the Piece by Piece Farm Tempura Delicata squash, and the Butcher’s Cut Pork Chop. Yum!“

“Went to Sunfish a couple days ago after watching a video rating it as the #1 fish and chips place in Seattle. Didn't disappoint! The gentleman who waited on me was polite and charming. The fish was the best I've had...light on breading, moist and flavorful. We went to Spuds the next day and no comparison! Sunfish was much better!“

“for me, Rays is my favorite restaurant ever. everything is at the top of perfection“

“Wonderful service and the food is absolutely delicious. Prepare for a possible wait if you don’t have reservations but go next door and enjoy an incredible cocktail while you wait. You won’t be disappointed!“

“I never leave reviews but the dinner and service at The Garrison is outstanding! They have a newly expanded menu that was hard to choose from. Everything looked amazing… and it was! We got to eat in the newly remodeled back room that is absolutely stunning! The other noteworthy mention is the presentation of all of our dishes were thoughtful and very beautifully put together. Overall, love this addition to our Ballard neighborhood. Can’t wait to try brunch!“

“Little Chinhook’s is such a gem. Fresh fish (and great tartar sauce), friendly service, and a fun location, what more could you ask for. They lean into their fish offerings (halibut, two types of cod, salmon, and more), so if you are interested in trying a couple options, you can add a different fish to your existing meal or order à la carte. Coming here is always a treat!“

“Seattle’s own “Real Fisherman’s Wharf.” Good service, great food, not fussy or pretentious. The price is reasonable and the quality is consistent. When I have guests in town, Chinook’s is always on the list of places to go. In a single word “Seattle.”“

“Love coming here great Filipino food.“

“had the captains platter again did not disappoint.yummy“

“There's a beautiful mural on the outside of the building. The company owns commercial fishing ships that fish the waters of Alaska for much of the year. Fish payload is offloaded in Alaska and the ships do not return until winter. This allows the docks to also be used for loading passengers on cruise ships. Otherwise, the area is not open to the public.“

“My husband and I dined at The Boat Shed last night for the first time. We almost left because we couldn’t find a parking space. I’m so glad we didn’t. We were seated by the sweetest hostess and taken to our table right by the water. We were quickly greeted by our server, Jerri. She couldn’t have been more helpful and personable. She explained the specials and gave us her recommendations. We ordered the Parmesan baked mushrooms-yum! We shared the crab cobb and scallops which were both delicious! For dessert we shared the blackberry crisp. Each bite was excellent and we were so pleased with our dinner. Regardless of the great food and restaurant, our server, Jerri, made our experience exceptional! What a special treat! We will return and ask for her. Thank you Jerri!“

“I just waited an hour to find out that my server forgot about me and never put in my order. I'm a party of one person in an uncrowded section. At the very least the guy apologized but come on.“

“I have a very favorite dish...Shrimp Linguini and they make it better than any other restaurant...the sauce has copped toms and lobster sauce with garlic and it is wonderful! Highly recommend.“

“I come here because I know it's always a great experience. The waitstaff are consistently prompt and friendly. My husband and I have made this restaurant our special spot for celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, and other significant occasions. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“I get my Sullys To Go because I don’t like people. The food is amazing every single time! it’s like you were sitting there, but without all the people to bother you. The food is great and the portions are large. This is just a hidden gem so don’t tell too many of your friends.“

“I came in right as they opened today and was welcomed right away. I ordered a Raspberry Jalisco Mule and Tortilla Soup with shredded chicken. I have to say the soup was one of the best tortilla soups I have had in a long time. you were even able to choose your flavors and spice level because a plate was brought out with tortillas, limes, onions, cilantro, chili crisp, avocado, jalapeno, and I don't remember the other seasoning but it was phenomenal. I can't wait to try more of the menu and continue to support local! Diablo's is definitely a place that should be on everyone's list to at least try and then frequent.“

“Amazing cocktail bar focused on the wide variety inherent in Amari - think things like Aperol and Campari and Montenegro and Averna and many many others, each unique, with a few loose styles. Jeff the bartender uses his encyclopedic knowledge of the range of Amari to craft inventive cocktails. Even if you aren’t normally a bitter palate person give it a go.“

“Had an absolute amazing time. The Smoke & Bourbon had such a cool presentation and the Black Cod thing I had turned me onto black cod for life. The views are literally the best on Seattle. It's the whole waterfront, the mountains and the islands. Just go!“

“Best pho I’ve had since moving here from the city, where I was spoiled for choice. Broth is key in my book, and they do it well. They are also one of the few locations that my partner can get vegetarian broth (that isn't bland, either). Service is excellent, clean and inviting atmosphere. Very happy to have this spot in town! Plus: bubble tea!

Vegetarian options: Veggie pho that is actually vegetarian. A lot of places in this area seem to use chicken broth as the base for their “vegetarian” pho.“

“This review is for Kirk (like Captain Kirk), you had a smile on your face from the moment we walked in and that set the tone for the entire meal. We appreciated how positive and upbeat you were even when we asked for a modification to one of the standard subs. Thanks for the good energy you added to our day.“

“Mondello’s is a lovely place to dine. We felt completely comfortable. The food was delicious. We left full and happy.“

“Excellent fish and fries!!“

“JUST WOW! Best fish and chips ever!“

“Great views and casual atmosphere. Reasonable price for Seattle.“

“Their food is seriously amazing. We ate our way through the tapas menu, can’t wait to go back and finish trying all of them. Definitely a place to go if you’re a serious foodie!“

“We came all the way from Denver to enjoy dinner here and we were not disappointed! The food, ambiance, staff…all first rate! What a wonderful meal.“

“I’d rate higher than 5 stars if it would let me. Very friendly service, Easy process to call ahead, Food was still piping hot when we went to pick up, and
Proportions are GREAT for the price.
Hands down Best salmon teriyaki I’ve ever had.“

“When the jewelry business drains us of energy, we got to Lin's for a recharge. Their amazing menu is a diamond in the rough.“

“First, ignore the comments about the menu. They have plenty of authentic dishes and options for those who want variety. We had a burrito esencia and it was delicious. It had more flavor than most of the Mexican restaurants in the area. The burrito sauce was very good and their homemade chips were excellent, super crunchy, fresh and hot. We chose beef and it was a high quality ground beef, flavorful and not the cheap stuff so many use. The veggies were fresh and the guacamole had good flavor. I hope they work on their outside lighting and atmosphere, but honestly the food was great and that’s what really matters. The burrito was so large, my wife and I split it and still took home enough for another meal.“

“I had some fish n chips on 10/20 after watching the locks action. It was crispy, firm juicy and the tarter sauce was great. Fries were warm crispy and soft just how I like it. I would go again“

“Thank you for serving locally sourced food!“

“We are from Lake Oswego Oregon, and Palm Springs California and I wish we had this restaurant in our neighborhoods. Everything about this restaurant is sublime. Be careful with the bread, I could make a meal out of it with a glass of wine. Max our server was has attentive as he was last year. He took great care of us. What is most surprising is the fabulous food at such a reasonable price. Haven't experienced that in very many restaurants lately. Keep up the excellent work!
