    Hot dog comes with fries
    Frank H.

    We came here to grab a bite to eat and my husband ordered the footlong hot dog. This hot dog is huge (he paid a little extra for sauerkraut). This could easily be shared between two or more people and only cost $9.99 (large amount of fries included). Bottled water is free as well. We were greeted promptly and the cashier was pleasant. The seating space is massive as it was a buffet once upon a time. Definitely worth the money!

    Well let's just say I really love Quinault, nice rooms, beach front, what more could you ask for?? Food pre covid was better. Emily's is good. They took their cafe-ish food area and moved it to the old buffet area and renamed it Big Eats, but pretty much didn't improve on a already boring "bar food" menu to order from. Not only did they not improve the menu, they inflated the prices. But we were hungry and it was late. The place is usually pretty empty even on busy nights but it was just me my husband and one more couple and a guy waiting to buy pre packaged ice cream out of the container out where we were waiting. When we walked in we noticed there were pizza boxes. Now that was new! Asked the two ladies behind the" pizza" counter if the pizza was good. One woman who was literally laying her arms and head down on top of the counter like she was about to take a nap said mmmmmm, it's okay. The other lady gave her a side eye and walked away. So no pizza for us. Then another girl who was taking the orders was wishy washy as well, and poo pooed the jalapeño poppers but we ordered them anyway. The poor man behind is has been waiting for someone to come over and pluck his chosen prepackaged frozen gems from the ice cream cabinet. Sleepy head just stood there with her head down on the top of the counter and then proceeded to pull up a chair and sit down to surf the web. There were a least 4 people working and 5 customers So when we where done ordering the cashier lady finally came to attended to ice cream guy. The jalapeño poppers were 8 dollars, which wasn't bad compared to the 13.00 chicken fingers we also got. We just had to laugh when we opened them. Oh well. But c'mon Quinault It's not that hard for these people to be friendly and helpful and not make you feel like you are inconveniencing them. Not a fun experience.

    Thanksgiving buffet, very few choices, flow not good, big room to accommodate large parties very drab. Certainly not worth $42.00

And the Jazz Brunch--paired with strong coffee and inventive drinks--always brings the whole experience together. The menu changes often, so you never quite know what delicious surprise you'll discover, but I always hope the focaccia makes an appearance. If you're lucky enough to catch it, don't hesitate. Fish and steaks are consistently cooked to perfection, served with vegetables that turn each plate into a complete, thoughtful dish. Simple, elegant desserts finish the meal beautifully. And being close is a big bonus. Thank you to my go-to restaurant for never disappointing.

In the middle of the dish was a nicely toasted brioche bagel. Egg yolk and dashi sabayon added a nice salty creamy umami touch. There were pickled beets surrounding the bagel as well. I wish there was a slight sweet crunch from candied hazelnuts. Service was quick and professional. There were over ten tables as well but I chose to sit at the bar where everyone else was. Nice vibe. Reminds me of Seattle especially seeing how my drink and roasted beets dish ended up costing $43 after service fee, tax and tip. There's no happy hour.

The restaurant is easy to find, located in a plaza with other businesses, so there's plenty of parking available. I also like that their hours are posted in military time; it's a small detail, but it removes any confusion about opening and closing times. The space itself is on the smaller side, but it feels comfortable and welcoming. We arrived around 17:00 on a Wednesday and were seated quickly. Service was friendly from start to finish--menus were brought promptly, and we were asked about drinks right away (water was perfect for us). Throughout the meal, the staff was attentive without being intrusive, refilling our water and clearing dishes at just the right times. We started with the agedashi tofu to share. The broth was flavorful and the tofu was prepared well, with that soft, gooey, gelatinous consistency. While it wasn't quite my personal preference (I tend to favor a crispier texture), it was still tasty and likely ideal for those who enjoy it that way. For our main dishes, my son ordered the tonkatsu corn ramen, and I had the black garlic ramen (without bean sprouts--personal preference). This was our first ramen spot since moving to Washington, and it genuinely reminded us of a favorite place we used to visit in Sacramento. The broth was rich, creamy, and deeply savory--absolutely delicious. I especially liked that the ramen was served with a ladle instead of a standard soup spoon, which made it easier to sip more of the broth. The noodles were cooked perfectly--not too firm, not too soft--and paired really well with the toppings. My son even commented on the generous portion of noodles, which I joked was exactly what we signed up for when ordering ramen! We both finished our bowls feeling completely satisfied. The chashu and egg were highlights for me--I took my time consuming them. My only small critique is that I wish the ramen included a full soft-boiled egg instead of just half, especially with bowls averaging around $17. Overall, this was a great dining experience with flavorful food, attentive service, and a welcoming atmosphere. While I have a couple of minor preferences, I would definitely return and recommend it to others looking for quality ramen in the area.

Downstairs is an open kitchen with a few tables in the front room. I do think that if they didnt have a big communal table, they could rearrange the tables to get a few more for extra service. Upstairs is a bar and a few more tables. They also sell some nice restaurant branded merchandise. There is a chalkboard menu on the wall with daily specials and market prices. I ordered the Salad with Dungeness Crab. I loved the freshness and all the combined flavors. My husband had the fresh fish tacos and they were very fresh and full of fresh cooked fish. The clam chowder was a little weak in flavor and lacking clams so I would probably skip it next time. The fish and chips is their signature dish and everyone was ordering it. This place is definitely a dining gem!

Service: waitress may be a little overloaded so, she was quite slow to show up after we were seated. She took the order with warmth and enthusiasm. She did not return to check if we needed anything after the food was served. There was an older gentleman (may be the owner) who showed us to our seats and was particularly concerned about our experience at the store. It was a nice touch. Ambiance: nice soft lighting, noise level was moderate. I consider this place good enough to eat my meal comfortably and able to enjoy the foods without too much noise.

The family business has been going since 1922 and they have a great thing going! They have two sections -- one is reservation only with covered tables near the water. The other is for walk-ins, where you can order from the food truck, get beers or get u-shuck oysters and sit on picnic tables (firepits nearby). Ambiance is super casual and welcoming, lots of folks stop by after hiking the beautiful national forest minutes away or as a destination on its own. Forest on one side, the Sound on the other, out in the fresh clean air -- this is the best of PNW! I met one of the family members, Al, who was super friendly and nice. Great to know the property has stayed in the family for 130 years and they are going strong! A MUST STOP if you're hiking off 101 or looking for a real relaxing PNW experience.
