My friends and I had dinner there last night and we all were very impressed. We eat out often at great restaurants. Consequently, we tend to be easily bored by mediocre restaurants. Lily our server was very accommodating to our off the menu drink requests and the chefs were amazing! Loved presentation and food! My chicken ravioli was delicious! We WILL be back!!!

Pretty disappointing lunch experience. The Ceasar salad though fresh barely tasted like a ceasar lacking the zest normally associated with a good ceasar. The potatoes as a side were undercooked and hard. We were the only ones dining at the time so it was not for a good reason that our lunches were brought well before we were close to being finished with our salads. We had gyros and salads for two, no drinks and one desert which was excellent ( chocolate decadence tort). Our bill was nearly $100 before tip. I had just met the chef's parents from out of state days prior - They bragged that their son is a great chef. I understand parents' pride in their children but it just went to multiply our disappointment in the quality. Our waitress was joyfully and attentive. So maybe she is unaware of timing the firing of an entre order or the chef rushed it. I don't recommend this restaurant if you are looking for something above average.

Our waiter was very attentive and the service was fast. We had the mussels and farm fresh burger which we would definitely come back for. Live music on Saturdays, unfortunately we left before the show started but could tell it was going to get busy as we were headed out. Will be back for sure the next time we are in town.

My friend & I had dinner here. I had the Caribbean Jerk Chicken Dinner which the chicken was very good. The rice & vegetables were barely warm. It all tasted great. Would order this again. My friend had the dinner burger ordered med and it came well done. The potatoes were really good and the flavor of the burger was good. I would like to have complementary bread and side salad included with the dinner. Deserts were really good. The server was very nice.

Pretty good food and very nice staff. Portion size are disappointing considering price. Hamburger patty was about 1/2 size of the bun and perhaps 7-8 pieces of potato

Nice bistro and winery in Freeland, Whidbey Island,Washington State. Stopped by for lunch. There is a smallish menu selection for lunch, including vegetarian options, offering a tapas style menu. The olives, mussels and house-smoked salmon are delicious and I would recommend these. There are a couple of salads on the menu too. We had a slight problem with our salads but the staff handled it well and therefore I am not taking any stars off. There was not a huge amount of flexibility to adapt the menu for food intolerances but all ingredients are listed on the menu. There is a wine tasting selection too - we had the White Flight which has tastings of 4 white wines and was also good. Large deck at the back of the restaurant which is lovely but we had to change to indoors due to wasps.Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian options available on the menu including salads.Parking: About 20 car parking spaces near the front entrance.Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible - stairs to front entrance. Level throughout once up the stairs, with good amount of space between tables and in the toilets for manoeuvring. Standard height toilets.Dietary restrictions: GF options available.Difficult for low FODMAP vegetarians - not much flexibility for menu adaptation. There is a house salad (which you can have without the onion/tomato/cucumber topping combo, leaving just leaves) and some lovely olives.
Dog friendly, nice staff, excellent food. Recommend Penn Cove mussels and Beet and Gorgonzola salad.

No fancy menu or elegant ambiance but absolutely the best food we experienced on the island. Our first visit was on a Sunday afternoon for the wine tasting and we had an extremely pleasant outing on the patio. We were slightly hungry so we're ordered the chicken gyros. Wow! They were delicious. For the rest of our vacation we experienced disappointing food at other restaurants on the island that were supposedly well-rated. So at the end of our week, we decided to go back to Blooms. It was a stellar meal! When everyone at the table thinks they ordered the best dish, you know you have gone to great place.

I came in here yesterday to try there Mussel's, they were fantastic I ate out on the deck and the staff was fantastic, this is an appetizer serving. I was pleasantly surprised on how generous the portion was. The Lavender lemonade is a must, I would have bought a bottle of that if it was available :) As I was checking out I realized I knew the gal that came out to ask how I liked my meal. Apparently they are dog friendly for outside dining :) I will bring Charlie next time :)
