41 Best Seafood Restaurants near Bainbridge Island

“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!“

“We had a fantastic experience at this restaurant and highly recommend it to others, especially families with young children! The food was outstanding—my shrimp scampi was absolutely delicious, and I couldn't get enough of it. The shrimp was incredibly fresh and cooked to perfection. We also shared a Caesar salad, which was equally delightful with an amazing dressing. The drinks were spot-on, and the kids really enjoyed the server, who was exceptionally kind and friendly with them.“

“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.“

“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 👌🏼“

“Consistently delicious, cod fish and chips is a must to try if you are in the neighborhood!! Super juicy fish, and the breading is just enough for a balanced bite. The oil they use for frying is light (and doesn't taste heavy like most places). Their fries, chowder, fried oysters and shrimps are also so good. Try with their garlic vinegar and squeezes of lemon!“

“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!“

“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.“

“The halibut fish and chips were very good, with a thin, crispy breading, and the potatoes were crisp and tasty. While I usually prefer a more traditional coleslaw, this mayo-free option was still nice and fresh, a bit on the sweeter side, and could use a touch more tang.“

“We had an amazing dinner at The Garrison during Seattle Restaurant Week, and it exceeded expectations from start to finish. It’s always fun trying a curated menu during Restaurant Week, and they absolutely delivered.

The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between modern elegance and cozy comfort, ideal for a special night out while still feeling relaxed and welcoming.

The Restaurant Week menu was thoughtfully put together, giving us a great variety to try. Each dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor, with a level of creativity and attention to detail that really stood out. It felt like a true showcase of what they do best.

Service was equally impressive, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm, making the whole experience feel seamless.

Between the incredible food, refined ambiance, and the value of Restaurant Week, it was a memorable dining experience. Definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to.“

“Love coming here great Filipino food.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Our food was amazing. I had the halibut in the Clearwater restaurant. As always, the service, ambience and all staff from the front desk to our server were all superb. We will be back. thank you. Even though they were busy that night, service was prompt and attentive.“

“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.“

“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!“

“JUST WOW! Best fish and chips ever!“

“Probably the best bagels in Seattle, definitely the best bagel I can remember having. I was apprehensive about the smoked fish toppings, but got the black cod and it was so good. Their spreads are good too, definitely have great options for people not interested in smoked fish, but want a savory flavor. I was a “west coast can’t make good bagels” person, but I must repent.“

“We ordered their birriella quesadillas very good. They have a large selection of salsa. They serve chips and hot sauce when you first get there. Great atmosphere, great music great service best of all best food.“

“A relaxing laid back atmosphere with so many flavors to choose from. I had a few cocktails, oysters for the first time, and sardines, too. Everything was delectable and Sharon and Dakin are lovely bartenders with great people skills.

I went there for a date and had a wonderful time enjoying new foods, drinks, and flavors. They even had a Malort cocktail!

Highly recommend if you like more intimate locations and being directly at the bar.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. Probably one of my favorites since relocating to Seattle.“

“Got the food for to-go order. Man, it didn't disappoint us at all. The food was perfectly made. I like the Yangkisoba Noodles with soft chewy shrimp, the noodles and veggies are a perfect taste and the noodles are Al Dente. We would definitely come back again. You guys rock. The atmosphere is so pretty and nice too.“

“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.“

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

“Went here yesterday around 3pm, store was fairly busy but I was greeted as I walked in the door by the lone employee. He made about 6 sandwiches for other customers in record time and then took my order. All in all with how busy it was I got my food quickly, about 10 minutes or so and it was fantastic! They did a great job on my custom sandwich, I will be back.“

“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!“

“They have the best chicken teriyaki and fish and chips the staff are great as well as the owners they are really nice people if you get a chance to go and grab a meal make sure to get chicken teriyaki and fish and chips they have some other great dishes as well.“

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

“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.“

“Excellent fish and fries!!“

“The service was the best Ive ever had in this city. Im lactose intolerant and the owner spent a lot of time helping me through the menu. They also treated my brother very well as we were celebrating his 50th. He got dessert and they wrote happy birthday on the plate. The servers we're very sweet. Food was amazing, but honestly my left overs tasted even better the next day!“

“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!“
