    Tomato and burrata
    Martin R.

    This food simply wasn't as good as I remember. I feel they've become too fancy , too contrived. The tomato and burrata dish was served with chilled roasted tomatoes, other pickled vegetables and prosciutto, a bit overseasoned but dry - see pic . No olive oil or basil. It felt more like a charcuterie board when it could gave been so much more just sticking to the classics.... for this dish the sky is the limit considering regional farm to table opportunities and getting it so overengineered felt just out of touch. The rack of lamb didn't live up to its previous self either. It wasn't a rack but a bunch of end pieces - double chops cut through the middle; and the fat wasn't roasted enough to bring out flavor. This was roasted at too low of a temperature where the outside crust cannot develop and the fat remains limp. Service was ok although I was never asked if I wanted another beverage, or water refill, or if the food was good. They have a bar, the Mahattan was served in a tumbler instead of a Martini glass, and I noted the beer came out of a can.

    I was welcomed by a friendly staff without a reservation mid week; I was told the bar was full but I could be seated at a table. The tables are set with cloth tablecloths, salad fork, fork, knife, butter knife, a water glass, and cloth napkin. The colors are soft green with warmly lit sconces. I ate the goat cheese salad which had a very light vinaigrette and thinly sliced julienne apples. The salad was a 5/5! The salad was accompanied by a piece of sour dough bread and red pepper hummus! Yummy! I am a connoisseur of crab cakes of which I highly recommend a new recipe. There were 3 nicely seared crab cakes on a bed of slaw and a side of wasabi sauce. The crab cakes were some of the worst I have ever tasted. They were overly breaded inside and it tasted like they used the sourdough bread. The sour flavor took from the crab. I would have had two crab cakes with way less filling. I had a nice Cabernet paired with my dinner. The salad and ambiance gave it a 4; otherwise it would be a 2.

    One of the best dining experiences we have had in a long time. We started out with drinks from the bar and were not disappointed. The sourdough with red pepper hummus was deliciously unique. Next, we had the young greens salad (with mussels added on) and the Caesar salad to start. The pears in the young greens salad with the mussels made it fabulous. My dining partner had the crab & shrimp lasagna - he practically licked the plate at the end. I had the long-bone short ribs and couldn't have enjoyed it more. We took home a good part of the large portion and had the next day. We finished with coffee; dining partner had the vanilla cheesecake (sooo good per my friend) and I had the almond cake with anise ice cream. Moist, flavorful and maybe a bit overdone on the outside; the bake time was likely needed as the height of the cake is tall. We plan to return in the spring on our next overnight trip so that we can enjoy more of the menu selections. Chef Fraser stopped by table to thank us for coming in and to make sure we were pleased. We were! Elegant sublime atmosphere- white linen tablecloths, wall scones, nice lighting. Great vibe.

    Simpli breathtaking. Ambiance was warm and inviting. Sat at the bar overlooking the kitchen. The chef greated me warmly and made sure I liked each course. Clam chowder was easily the best I ever had. The special was risotto with scallops, lobster tail, muscles, and shrimp. It was Devine. Super fresh seafood, perfectly cooked and balanced. Decent cocktails and service was great. Highly recommend. Easily the best meal I had on the island. Definitely book a reservation ahead.

    We came in one night without a reservation. The host was super friendly and seated us right away. Most of the tables were occupied but the noise was super low and still intimate enough for a date night. The food was AMAZING as always and really not as expensive as you might think. Well worth it. Cheers.

    I can't believe it's taken me so long to write this review! My boyfriend and I were RV'ing in the Oak Harbor area a few months ago and in the mood for a nice dinner. I had no idea such an amazing place existed in the area! We called for a reservation on what was a busy Saturday night, and were lucky to get a table at a reasonable hour. When we were arrived, we were greeted immediately and got a nice seat by the window, with a view of their open kitchen. I had looked up the restaurant on Yelp in advance (of course!) and recognized their owner working behind the counter along with the rest of his amazing team. We ordered a couple of cocktails, and started with an order of crab cakes to share. They were the perfect appetizer, served with a luscious-yet-mild wasabi-based sauce. Next, the dude got a ribeye, served perfectly and with seared asparagus, and I ordered the seared scallops with a homemade risotto. Since it happened to be St. Patrick's Day weekend, they had a sticky toffee pudding on special and - even though we were stuffed - we ordered it to share for dessert. It was sweet, decadent, and so delicious I kinda wish we'd ordered two (even though I probably would have exploded). What brought this amazing meal over the top was the amazing and friendly service we received. I've never thought of Oak Harbor as being a fine dining destination, but I wouldn't hesitate to make the drive here again for a special occasion (or if we're camping nearby again and don't feel like cooking).

    Fabulous service, wonderful food, and an enjoyable environment. This was an unexpected treat. We started with cocktails and shared 2 apps. The brie and garlic fondue was luscious and perfect for the four of us to share. The dry ribs came with 4 pieces and they were very tender and we loved the little sauce (blackberry?). I had the duck pappardelle and loved the crumbled crispy skin garnish. I would have liked a little more :-). My other had the fried chicken and corn spoon bread and I couldn't keep my fork out of his plate. Also at our table was the crab and shrimp lasagna. It was beautiful and delicious. But very rich. Could have used something on the plate to give your pallet a rest. Lastly was the lovely rack of lamb with pistachio crust. We shared the profitero dessert and literally scraped the plate. We did not expect such a fantastic meal experience on Whidbey Island!

    Scallops.

    Don't waste your time with any other place in town. Fraser's is memorable. Service is 5 stars food is 5. I'm waiting on desert but I'm not worried about that.

    Absolute perfection! If I knew how good this was going to be I would have ordered 3 of these and made that my meal. Delicious!
    Courtney N.

    I was not expecting such a wonderful meal on the island (I was visiting from out of town) and was BEYOND surprised and impressed by the food, the ambiance, the wine and the staff, incredible experience. I have since gone to the store to try to recreate the salad I had here which was PHENOMENAL! Top 3 salad I've had in my life. Wonderful experience all around

And continued with another long wait before making first contact with a server. I felt the razor clam chowder was expired. Too fishy to be fresh. Too salty. I didn't eat this. The full cup was removed by some server; no inquiry if it was good. The dry aged bone-in ribeye came overcooked (medium well instead of medium rare); but what was worse was the tough, chewy quality, lack of any beef flavor, let alone any hint of actual dry aging as advertised. Instead it was woefully overseasoned. Mashed potatoes tasteless....the fresh bread on the table made for a better side dish. Here, the server did ask and later offered me a free dessert to make up for it. I feel I could have easily rated this 2 stars - the place lived up to being in a Casino - but the view of Padilla Bay and Mt. Adams very much upgraded the experience again. Unless last year was an outlier, I would wildly speculate it went downhill due to a change in chef.

We're originally from NY but let me tell you, Nonna Luisa Ristorante beats "the best," most well known Italian restaurants in and around NYC. Hands down. There's no way anyone could possibly leave this place feeling anything other than full, happy, and excited to come back. Like a true Italian family, Nonna's won't let anyone go hungry. We were planning on having dinner here one night but the ferry was late. By the time we pulled up it was already 30 minutes after they closed so we sat in our car parked across the street looking up what other places might still be open. The owner happened to be outside and shouts "Are you hungry?!" They had already cleared out for the night, there weren't people still sitting down eating. But he invited us in anyway. I would've expected our server Carmen to be annoyed because I'm sure she wanted to go home but instead she welcomed us in just like the owner did. We thanked her and apologized but she said "that's what we do here, we take care of people." They even gave us a free desert since we were celebrating a birthday.

We arrived around 4:35 PM, and by 4:45 PM the restaurant was packed. Thankfully, we had a reservation, so we were seated almost immediately. I came here to celebrate my birthday, and the service was exceptional. Our server took the time to walk us through the specials, which took about 10 minutes, and she was incredibly patient and attentive throughout the entire meal. Since it was my birthday, they also graciously treated me to dessert with a song, which was a thoughtful touch I ordered the Pesto Pasta and added chicken for an extra $5. I didn't mind paying the additional charge, but I was disappointed by how little chicken was included there were only one or two small pieces. The pesto sauce itself was flavorful, but it was quite rich and heavy because of the amount of cheese, making the dish a bit overwhelming by the end. The real star of the meal, however, was the tiramisu. It was honestly one of the best tiramisus I've ever had. The balance between the coffee flavor and sweetness was absolutely perfect, and the texture was light and creamy. I would happily come back just for the tiramisu. The portion was also very generous and could easily be shared between two people. The pasta portions were equally impressive. I couldn't finish mine, so I was happy to take the leftovers home for lunch the next day. Overall, I had a wonderful birthday dinner. Between the excellent service, generous portions, and outstanding tiramisu, this is a restaurant I would definitely return to.
