42 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!!!“

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

“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.“

“Reimagined by assimilating the best of our once-beloved Bainbridge Tapas with Isola to create a new, contemporary space with delicious dishes from both of those restaurants. And now! Creative and delicious mixed drinks to boot! The one constant is the proprietor, who has always put her heart and soul into everything she does, welcoming every guest as if they were in her own home. I thought I’d miss Bainbridge Tapas but it has been enhanced by a more contemporary feel, in a better space, offering a wider selection of delicious dishes. Whew! Go! Support! Enjoy!!!“

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

“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!“

“Seafood is fresh … amazing views 👌🏼“

“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!“

“Seafood is fresh … amazing views 👌🏼“

“My cousin and her husband brought us here for lunch. The clam chowder was raved about as were the haddock and chips and tempera prawns!“

“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!“

“I will definitely recommend Happy Crab. Was invited to Happy Crab for casual business lunch today. When I first see its Signature name, I knew it couldn’t be wrong. I love their decoration and sea views. Very romantic and elegant restaurant. The food was served quick and all flavors are delicious as well as creative. It is lucky to get the chance to meet the owner Lily, she has great personality. Great smile, being honest & adorable. I admire what Happy Crab said: Life is a journey, happiness is a choice, and every meal is a celebration. I wish every guest is happy in Happy Crab.“

“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!“

“Great food, great service, will definitely be back. Waiter was friendly and attentive, made nice recommendations, food was delicious. We had the oysters, prosciutto, sablefish and the wagyu. Finished with the bread pudding and meringue, both wonderful.“

“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.“

“Definitely Not Fine Dining Chicken was dry, tough & made dish inedible, refunded but offered no other consolation to compensate Service was Not adequate & server was reluctant to follow up. Sushi was Fresh, Steak @ Medium was more medium well, Entree was questionable per Menu description like they were winging it just throwing something together.“

“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 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.“

“JUST WOW! Best fish and chips ever!“

“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.“

Happy Fall!

Today for lunch, my husband and I decided to try a restaurant we pass by daily. It's surprising we hadn't visited before—Hello Pho.

Since M&T in Silverdale closed, we've tried a few good Vietnamese restaurants, but I can honestly say that what we ordered and ate here was excellent!

We chose our seats, and the servers promptly brought us menus and water.

The menu featured many tempting options, making it hard to choose. Eventually, we made our selections and placed our order.

As we waited for our meal, I looked around and was impressed by how clean the restaurant was—perhaps because we arrived just after opening. There were no sticky floors or menus, no crumbs on the chairs, and no strange odors. In the past, I've dined in restaurants where menus were left uncleaned and tables were dirty, but not here. Everything felt fresh and tidy. Our lunch arrived quickly, too.

I ordered the Vermicelli bowl with my choice of meat—chicken. The portion was generous and included an eggroll, rice noodles, lettuce, cucumbers, thinly sliced carrots, two smoked shrimp, and green onions. It was topped with plenty of grilled chicken and served with a mild, sweet, and very flavorful fish sauce.

My husband ordered the Yakisoba noodles with grilled chicken. His dish included noodles, stir-fried carrots, bell peppers, cabbage, broccoli, and onions, topped with his choice, of course, which was the chicken. He thoroughly enjoyed it, and the small taste I managed to get (lol) convinced me that I'll definitely have to order it myself in the future—it was delicious!

Our servers were fast, friendly, and efficient. Overall, our experience was excellent, and we plan to return!

For those unfamiliar with Happy Pho, it's easy to find—they're in the Fred Meyer area of Bremerton, WA, at 5050 WA-303. They're located near Little Caesars Pizza and Subway, directly across from Discount Tire.

There's plenty of flat parking available.

**If I had to offer one piece of advice, it would be this: while everything on the menu sounds wonderful, the number of options can feel a bit overwhelming. I had to reread the menu a few times to decide. This was the main reason for my 4-star rating.**

*Thanks for supporting a local business, and please remember, Be kind to ALL living things!!“

“I have been to Seattle many times to visit the North West Washington area, after discovering Old Salt on Google a few months ago I was putting this on my bucket list for the next time I was back. Needless to say we were not disappointed. This place is amazing and was well deserved the visit from Texas.“

“Great food, nostalgic of the early 2000's era when Quiznos dominated the sub sandwich game. The food is exactly as you'd remember, and their oven toast the subs perfectly. Not too dry, not too soft, completely delicious. The staff here are always friendly and provide a quality sandwich each visit, I recommend Quiznos to just about anyone who wants a sandwich. Even if it's busy your wait will be worth it.“

“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!!“

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

“This was the first time I have eaten here. The food was great. I'm really not a fish person but I have heard awesome things, about KINGS and it was all true. Ppl who don't like a fishy taste the Cod they use is so mild and damn good. The orange chicken I got for the kid was demolished he said it was so good he just couldn't stop eating it. My daughter got the bacon cheese burger. This place is for the whole family. Little said no more smoothies. I really was afraid to eat here. But not anymore. does FISH FRIDAY still exist?“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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!
