Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Bainbridge Island

Eat here and you will eat well! I devoured the pan seared scallops, they were phenomenal! My daughter inhaled the kids pasta. My other daughter had the chicken, and LOVED it. At one point she literally asked me to take her fork so she would stop eating because she was so full but couldn’t stop taking bites because it was so good. The leftovers absolutely came home. And my husband made a good dent in the cassoulet; his leftovers also came home. He was the only one who saved room for dessert and he was glad he did as he thoroughly enjoyed the cranberry tart.

This is our place. My best friend of 26 years and I love to meet here for a wonderful meal, a great bottle of wine, and to be able to sit and catch up. We feel well cared for, but not rushed!

My son and I went here on Christmas Eve night to celebrate my upcoming birthday on Christmas day. Micheal was our sever, and he was attentive from the moment we sat down. In fact, the entire staff was! The moment we walked in and said we had a reservation, we were treated special. The atmosphere was amazing. The found was outstanding. I recommend the ribeye cooked to perfection "blue" as I like it. The sauce for the barbecue prawns was so good! I had to request more bread for my son to clean the bowl. It was that good! He had no complaints about his king salmon. One of the gentlemen there saw that my son was wearing cream and white, and he came to tell my son to be careful with the sauce because it stains. Low and behold, my son had a spot on his shift, so the gentlemen immediately returned with soda water, and the spot came right out. He wanted to help my son because he said he ruined one of his shirts due to the sauce staining it. I will be back when I'm in town. I highly recommend this restaurant! Thank you to all the staff for a great evening!

Excellent food on the Christmas Eve dinner menu and our server was equally good. Will definitely plan to do this again!

My wife, my grown-up daughter, and I enjoyed Christmas Eve dinner at Palisade. It was all great: fast service leading us to our table (reserved ahead of time), excellent food, great view of the marina and downtown Seattle, and the food was served at a slow speed so we could enjoy a 2 hour dinner with good conversation. The price was higher than what we usually experience when we go to a restaurant for dinner. However, the price was as expected on a Christmas Eve at a first class restaurant.
