Me and my friend came into the bar to eat some food and drinks.
The bar was empty.
We sat down and we decided that we didn't like where we were sitting so we wanted to move seats. The table we wanted to move to had sun. The lady immediately stops us and tells us that those tables were reserved and that we couldn't sit there. They immediately put reversed signs on both the tables. My friend is black. They are racist. We sat there the entire time eating our food and no one ever showed up.

If you are new to the area or visiting. Do not stop here for good food or vibes. We walked in, the waiter saw us and said oh you can sit over there." Brought us water, did NOT bother to ask if we wanted anything else to drink. Ok, cool, I'll drink your water instead. We looked over the menu. He came to our table with an attitude of "we are bothering him." I placed my order, and my daughter asked what the servings were for the french toast. He explained 1 piece 5, 2 is 7, and 3 is 9. The menu did not have this on it. Prices only. She was about to order her food and he rudely said, "Do you want me to come back. She said no, and he took our order. I ordered the ham and cheese omelet with sautéed veggies. It came out looking good except that there was barely any ham and cheese and was overwhelming, mostly all veggies. The hashbrowns were cold except for the burnt pieces, like really basic cooking here. The toast was the only thing truly good on my plate, buttttt I had to get his attention by waving my hand, yet 1 minute or less he was asking the table behind us if they needed anything. My hand gesture was not nasty. He said, "Wait a minute," as if we were bothering him again. He came over asked "what we needed." Not how can I help you. Really? I asked for jelly, and he asked how many? I replied just one. He brings it out and practically shoves it across the table. Ok. Cool, your tip is dropping with the quickness at this point. My daughter, who does not like conflict, will usually eat food whether it's tasty or just ok. She just won't return. She ordered the club sandwich and usually can't go wrong with those. She ate 2 corners of the sandwich and couldn't or wouldn't finish it because it was so not a club sandwich. It's more like turkey between 3 pieces of bread. We wanted to leave and were waiting for the waiter to bring the check so we could leave. The owner finally noticed us and brought the check to us. The rude waiter walks up as she walks to our table with the check. She asked us if everything was okay. I hesitated at first and said yes, well, no, not really. I originally was going to go with my daughter and get the check and leave a small tip. The owner asked what it was that was wrong. My daughter started speaking, and the owner actually said, "If that's the only thing I can fix that." I jumped in and said, "Hold up, you're going to entertain that, and oh, and there was more. I proceeded to tell her about the issues we had with her waiter. She said oh I will use this as a training lesson, and that he's one of our best that works here." At this point, she is not getting it and kept avoiding the real issue at hand. I looked down at the check, got cash out to pay, it was $40.26, and now there will be zero tip. She was kind enough not to make me pay the 26 cents.Bad food, bad service, and now bad owner. She blocked me in against the wall. So I could not get out the way I came in. I had to walk around a table to get out of this restaurant. I'm not sure what her deal is with not taking criticism about her service and food. The food is not good, I hope they noticed what was left on the plates. If not, shame on them for not paying attention.My daughter heard her say he was new and still learning. What is it? Is he new or just not good at his job? As a newcomer to the island. Avoid this cafe while checking out the island. Edit: We won't be back, I promise, and I also promise by word of mouth that you don't get the business.You don't need an app for that.It's my freedom of speech that allows me to write about your business.You can't take constructive criticism as an owner as written in your reply. You can call the sheriff, I broke zero laws. What is pitiful, is entertaining your waiters' behavior and by not allowing me to leave when you blocked me against the wall.Or did you forget that part?

Lovely place. My fam & I met Deb the owner and she was the sweetest small biz owner we have ever come across- personable and catered to my mom’s gf requests. She made us feel like we were old friends.
We were visiting from Texas and had a memorable time here. The baked oatmeal is to die for! The salads were fresh and crisp. So glad we stopped here on a whim before heading back to our air b n b. Will be back next time we visit Whidbey!
