    two cocktails on a table
    Kate C.

    This restaurant is a must visit if you're in Winthrop. We got a seat at the bar, so make sure you make a reservation. That said, the bar tender was so kind and funny that we were thrilled with our seat!! The restaurant is very cute and modern, which is a nice ambiance change to the western themed town around it. The pina colada inspired cocktail was a dream. I wish I could recreate it. The desserts are a must - we had the blueberry corn cake and the cocktail brownie item (probably butchered those names) but they were SO good!!!!

    I had pretty high hopes after reading the highly regarded reviews of Arrowleaf on Yelp. First, we had excellent service. We sat at the bar and the bartender was very knowledgeable, shared her preferences and even gave us a few recommendations about the best things to grab from the menu. The only item I would recommend would be the beet salad. The beets, required lettuce, and dressing was excellent. It was a perfect size for an appetizer. We shared and it was great to start the meal on such a positive note. Unfortunately, neither of the entrees lived up to the salad or had much excitement overall. First, the steak frites was super lacking in flavor; I'm not sure the steak had any seasoning. Of course, the fries were fine - thin waffle fries that were fried pretty well. The entree came with 2 sauces, both were also fine. I was expecting much more quality and flavor from such a basic dish. The other entree was the cauliflower polenta which might not have had any seasoning. Fortunately, the steak was better, but not by much.

    Our first time in Winthrop and we were so lucky to find this amazing restaurant. First of all the service was excellent and can't say enough about the craft cocktails and food. It's a small beautiful little restaurant and so cozy casual. I recommend making reservations.

    Burrata pumpkin purée and pickled pumpkin
    Alana N.

    Everything tasted so good! Cocktails are great and every dish was amazing too. Our server was very friendly, take orders very quick and food came out quick too. Burrata with pumpkin purée was a great paring! I would recommend seating in the bar area since you can try both menu. We got the Thai wings from the bar menu and it was soooooo good plus huge portion too! I am definitely coming back.

    Pork chop  it was dark at our table as you can see.

    1. Food - so so. Some hits and some misses. Vegetarian Dinesh wirh sweet potato and coconut black rice was quite good. They were able to make it vegan which was wonderful Replacing the butter with chive oil so I was told The poached pear salad was basically mainly kale. The tomato Capres it was beautiful and heavy on gorgeous tomatoes. I wish I had known that The tortilla soup was not very good and my friend had a bit of a reaction to it. another person had a pork chop which was pretty good. The meatloaf was give it an average grade 2. We had to pay $41 to reserve our table on Monday Labor Day. We received $40 of credit but the dollar they capped. It's not a big deal it's just a principal. 3. Table It wasn't that busy so that was a little bit strange that we were required to do that. They sat us at a very bad table at the far end outside. We had requested and said we had to have outside. There were other outside tables. We eventually move to one that had heat. 4. We had a delightful server with beautiful braids. She was probably the least senior person but she was by far our favorite server of the night. She got pulled off our table for management and put to do trash duty etc. We saw her working hard. Unfortunately the next waitress that took over was not as attentive but perhaps had seniority Clearly if we made the reservation and paid the money to secure the table, we were serious about our meal. We ordered a lot of food - appetizers or starters plus our main course. And a bottle of wine. However once we lost our beautiful server, service went downhill. I'm surprised they didn't offer to move us to a table as it got colder and we were sat out back closer to the trash a no heater Would I go back ? Probably not .

    Lamb with root vegetables and broccolini. Very good.
    Michael T.

    Stopped by late before it closed. The service was excellent and the food as well! It's an upscale restaurant and a quaint higher class dinning area with outside seating as well. We loved our food and wished we had room for dessert. We had lamb which my wife loved and steak frites. I loved the steak and the fries. Their homemade ketchup had a little too much anise or whatever they used. Too much licorice flavor. But overall it was excellent. I don't give many 5 star reviews.

    Smoked Spare rib and thousand layer potatoes
    Chris W.

    The smoked spare rib and thousand layer rib was amazing!! Ambience was great! Great place for a date!

    Arctic Char

    We had a lovely dinner last weekend. Really great service - super friendly and efficient. My husband had 3 of their oysters on the half shell, served with a traditional minnon sauce. They were outstanding! I had the Goat Cheese & Beet Salad. I might claim it as the best best salad I have ever had. The main dishes were good, but neither was as outstanding as the starters. Hubby has the Arctic Char - the fish was superbly cooked, but the dish was too dry for my taste. I had the lamb medallions. The lamb had way too much waste on it to be referred to as medallions. And, again, the dish was a little dry, though the green beans served with it were delish!

    Perfectly cooked and well flavored Steak
    Brian C.

    8 family members had a dinner at the Arrowleaf while home for the holidays. We driven by it a bunch but never dined and well, it was awesome. Winthrop is not an easy place to give a gourmet dining experience too just based on the small local population and the influx of out of ownership that may or may not come from Seattle for the weekend so I tip my hat to the guys for bringing the noise. We ordered in a shared style and had the Red Wine & Herb Sous Vide New York Steak, Crispy Brussel Sprouts, the Pepper Jelly Baked Brie, Seared Scallops, the Tuscan Lamb Braise, the waffle fries, Lemongrass & Coconut Grilled Prawns, Mushroom Risotto of the house cocktails including the Limoncello Margarita and the mezcal, lemon lime & red wine float. Everyone enjoyed it all. The scallops were my favorite followed by the steak. The Tuscan Lamb was actually my last favorite. Just didn't hit my pallete this night but cooked fine. We were too full to order dessert and we had a nice long dinner together. We'll be back hopefully in the summer!

    Local Pork Shoulder ($31). Pork was good, and the couscous was tasty.

    Jupiter is one of the best spots in Winthrop to dine at, if not, the best. Despite Yelp saying…read morethat this location is temporarily closed, we decided to still walk by and see if it was open and it indeed was. What a win for us, too, because the food was fantastic and exactly what we needed. We visited Jupiter for dinner on our first night in town and after a day of sunshine and hiking, we were hungry. At Jupiter, the menu isn't large, but they have a good range of items to choose from, in addition to local beers and wines. We were pleased that they had a large outdoor patio area where it's dog friendly, which is where we sat with our dog. You order and pay first inside at the counter, snag a number and a staff member delivers your food to the table. My partner and I both ordered different protein bowls and a salad and had a hard kombucha. My protein bowl was delicious with the steelhead as my protein of choice with rice, beans, jalapenos, greens, pickled red onions, avocado and a cilantro dressing. It was very filling, nourishing and delicious! The salad was also very good, with fresh greens in a light dressing. Everything was healthy and wholesome and left us satisfied. I highly recommend visiting Jupiter if you're in the Winthrop area for a meal. They have fresh, whole foods that are packed with protein and everything you need after a day of hiking. Plus, the patio for dogs cannot be beat as we learned that not everywhere in Winthrop has patio seating. Something to be mindful of if you're traveling with your best friend. I would definitely eat here again when back in the area.

    We stopped here days before a Wildfire evacuated the area. It was so good that I want to leave this…read morereview for when they reopen. The originally-shaped fresh-potato French fries were superior, as was the garlic sauce for them. I gobbled them up with gusto. Without being able to eat spice, I asked the counter clerk what she would advise. A salad with their special chicken was fine for me. I will say that I am not in favor in general of pulled pork or similarly cooked meats, because the flavor is not as full as other preparations, so that was my one disappointment. The salad was spectacular with its fresh, tender lettuce and other veggies from the garden. The coffee cake dessert was marvelous. They do not have much space inside, but the huge deck area had spread-out tables. Minor problems for us old folks are climbing the stairs up to the cafe and parking close to those stairs.

This restaurant is part of the upscale Sun Mountain Lodge and well worth the 17min drive up the mountain from Winthrop. I was seated in a cozy booth directly facing the window front for the full experience and very much enjoyed the PNW cuisine as well. I ordered a Manhattan, the tomato caprese, and the ribeye steak. This was all top quality from the cocktail to the steak and I admire the attention to detail and creativity of the Chef. Of note, the steak was delicious, high quality meat, correctly prepared. Service was superb; the Dining Room will definitely become my new go-to restaurant when in Winthrop!

    The service and view were wonderful but the food has been dismal for 5 years. My last experience…read moresupported that knowledge. To be safe, I ordered a Caesar salad, thinking what could a kitchen do to a Caesar salad, I will tell you. The lettuce was not hand cut or torn, the croutons were the kind you buy at Safeway. When my dining partner asked to have a small Caesar side salad to accompany her meal, we were told it was impossible , so I asked for a small plate and shared my salad. Our other dining partner order 1/2 roast chicken and was served an airline breast, covered in cream sauce. The dessert was just as bad. Come on people! The Valley has a beautiful Farmers Market and wonderful meats and pasta made fresh and available to everyone. Be like the Valley or there's no reason to go to Sun Mountain, we all cook better at home.

It's not even one of the items that they circle as their top sellers. This was so good. Thinly shaved beef on a really tasty bun and loaded with cheese. I'm not a fan of bell peppers, but these didn't overpower. Such good flavor! My wife had the burger, and it was outrageously good (I think it was the Bro). Get ready to back up your truck to the door when you finish b/c they load you up with so many fresh, hand-cut fries. Again, such good flavor, but this is where the heartburn really kicks in. They bring out a caddy of 6 different sauces to keep the Freedom fries company. The gal who served us wouldn't win any awards for hospitality, but she treated us well and we got out of there alive. We thought it was a win.

They didn't have the first 2 drinks we ordered (which seems kind of silly, it's a bar after all), but all good- lots of other options. The club sandwich was very good!

    We had an amazing meal here! It's a fun place with a cool…read moreinterior filled with old fashioned nik-knacks placed on the walls, ceiling shelves- the kids had a blast playing I Spy. We came for an early early dinner (kids!) so we could walk in and there were open tables but by the time we left, the place was full! As the name of the restaurant says it's a bakery as well. They showcase the different breads in their bread bar. More about that later. Let me warn you... the portions are large! I got the spinach lasagna ($23.50) which came with a salad and the bread bar. When I got the salad I was shocked to see a huge, almost entree sized salad. The lasagna had ricotta, spinach layers smothered in Alfredo sauce. It was delish but I think they can go a lot less on the sauce. It was buttery, almost too buttery as well. But it was dang good! So that bread bar... if you love bread like I do, you'll be in carb heaven. They feature different kinds of bread baked that day- there was the usual French bread but they had flavors like rosemary, garlic,black pepper and the most unusual - curry cranberry. Don't be afraid to try the different flavors. The cranberry curry ended up being my favorite. Behind the bar is where you can find the different kinds of butter and olive oil. If you want balsamic vinegar, you'll need to ask your server. Sadly I gorged on the bread and couldn't eat my meal. My daughter ordered the HALF order of Seafood Louie ($20.80). When it came to the table, we burst out laughing because the thing was full entree sized where we come from. It was chock full of fried calamari, huge grilled prawns, little bay shrimp and an egg. She had a hard time finding a starting place to take the first bite without it spilling over. She really like the thousand island dressing too. My suggestion is to get it on the side to add as you work your way down. Mussels & Clams ($15.50) was also a hit- big and plump and the broth went perfectly with bread. The kids buttered noodles ($5.75) were good but it was kind of swimming in butter. They could've used half the amount. But the noodles were nice and al dente. Service was great and very accommodating- a big shout out to Jesus! FYI, a tip of 18% is automatically added to the bill with option to add. If we're ever back in Omak, we're definitely returning! Actually we did come back the next morning to buy the bread but unfortunately we were there before they opened.

    Not a bad place to enjoy sandwiches for lunch. Good service…read moreA bit pricey but fair selection of different sandwiches
