The Restaurant at Captain Whidbey offers a cozy dining experience with a view of the water. It is recommended to make a reservation as walk-ins may be turned away. The restaurant is situated on a charming waterfront property with a rustic and quaint atmosphere. Recent updates include softer chairs and more rugs, making the space quieter and more comfortable.
The menu features a variety of options, and the staff are knowledgeable and honest about the offerings. Popular choices include the French toast, whether savory or as a sampler, as well as the Shrimp & Grits. The restaurant also serves appetizers like the CW Garden Bread, Salish Sea Clam Chowder, PNW Bounty Board, and Dungeness Crab Mac and Cheese, which is a standout dish. The five-course chef’s special is a fun, delicious, and unique experience, with favorites such as stuffed fresh morel mushrooms, house smoked salmon, and smoked duck. The fresh-squeezed orange juice remains a delightful drink option.
Barrel-aged cocktails are available but may come with a surprising price tag. The restaurant’s attentive staff, including servers who make great suggestions, help create a special atmosphere. The location and cozy ambiance make for a lovely getaway, and an overnight stay at the inn is highly recommended. Some guests have enjoyed outdoor seating and even had the chance to see orcas swim by during their meal, adding a memorable touch to the experience.
