Delicious seafood! My friends and I came in to grab some bites and ended up having a whole meal! I think they were having a popup so the menu was different. We ordered oysters- half sweetwater and half indigo. The indigo oysters were the best i've ever had, super fresh and meaty and delicious! We ended up ordering another dozen of just indigo oysters, but i think this was a popup menu item. We also got the clams which were delicious. We got dinner rolls which were so fluffy and used the sauce from the clams. We even ordered another order of dinner rolls (note that the price is for ONE roll, not an order.. we were unaware and caught off guard, but it was delicious so it was fine). Lastly, we got some drinks and they were quite strong. I got the espresso martini and it was pretty good! Great experience on this little island. read more

Most favorite restaurant ever. Delicious food sourced and created with care, and warm staff. The food events here are also fantastic, and consistently amazing. Food is always fresh and creatively flavored. The drinks are also great. read more

My family and I ordered the clam and oyster. The oyster is tiny and the clam had sand in them. Not even mention the food tasted blend. The waitress was racist and very rude and not wanting to answer our questions regarding the menu while she patently answered the table next to us which were a white couple. read more

This was absolutely the best b-day dinner celebration ever. The entire team gave my husband (80th birthday) almost undivided attention as we lingered over 2 1/2 hours for the 5 course meal. Creative menu including raw oysters, albacore crudo, seaweed focaccia, mussels, baked salmon, and dessert all accompanied by extensive wine selection. (My choice was Baudouin Millett, France, Chardonnay)! Thank you, thank you! read more

I wasn't expecting to taste some of the most amazing clams I've had in a long time. The entire dish was so delicious. You absolutely have to try this restaurant while visiting Bainbridge Island. 10/10 read more

Oh my gosh! YUM! We had a family gathering to celebrate a birthday. We were greated with bubbles and a signed birthday card by the whole staff. LUV LUV LUV. Oysters were amazing and fresh. The tapas were lovely. The kelp salad?!?! SO GOOD? We ordered two more the next night TO GO! (And they don't really do take out!). Just wish there had been a few more options for us vegetarian types. But! The family loved it. If you haven't been, go! Just be aware it is more of a small tapas menu. Not large plates. And ps? Our waitress was AMAZING! read more

My visit for a friend's birthday was an absolute delight! Great food, great service and a lovely space.

My friends and I came a long way to Bainbridge and heard this place is good so we decided to give it a try, but the experience was horrible. We came in around 2 when it was not that busy and it took them a long time to take the order. The waitress even forgot to put in one of our orde. The food is mid as well, you can definitely get better tasting food somewhere else. It's way overpriced for the food and service you can get here. read more

We had an amazing seafood experience at Seabird located in Bainbridge Island. We arrived for an early reservation (5:30PM) and were instantly seated by very friendly staff. Interior of the restaurant is warm and inviting with kitchen exposed to guests. Menu, which is seafood focused, is very alike to Spanish tapas experience - it is designed to share and experience various dishes. We ordered Manila Clams, Salmon tartar, Halibut ceviche, Rockfish, Douglas fir truffle custard, a dozen of oysters and desert. Each dish was unique and incredible in its own way. Fusion theme of Asian, Latin influence and fresh, seasonal flavors with a unique Seattle twist was the feeling we got about Seabird. Oysters were incredibly fresh and delicious. Salmon tartare was well loved at the table and truffle custard was unique and unusual. We ordered two deserts similar to Pear crumble and Apple tart or their own twist in that, to share amongst 4 people. We rarely order desert and these were really outstanding. All around an amazing experience that took about two and a half - three hours. Tip: Seabird is located on Bainbridge Island, you have to take a ferry from Seattle to reach the restaurant. We paid $45 to get there and $17 to get back. It takes about an hour to get there from Downtown Seattle. Street parking Very courteous and friendly staff. read more

Party of 5 so the only table is in the back ... I like an open kitchen and am not against noise ... however, the racket from tossed pans/dishwashing, etc. was so loud at times it was difficult to hear conversation at our table. Other times, was able to hear fine and ambience was lovely. I wish they take their guests sitting back there into account and try harder not to be so loud with the pots/pans. Server was lovely ... friendly and attentive. Food - just okay. Too much sauce/dressing in nearly every item we ordered. Had to hunt to find the crab in the Dungeness crab toast and when found, couldn't taste the delicate crab due to the heaps of melted cheese/bechamel. Caesar salad also had too much dressing. Rockfish and heirloom potatoes were a hit. Albacore ceviche went largely uneaten. Agadashi fritters were nice until they poured warm broth over them, turning them into mush balls. Mussels were too fishy and there wasn't enough broth ... most of the mussels were sitting naked with no sauce (and the sauce wasn't very flavorful despite a description from our server of having Cajun flavors) and, like the albacore ceviche, mostly uneaten. Plates are meant to be shared, though some are quite small (rockfish), and others are difficult to cut (thick toast on crab toast). read more

So, what a great place to relax and eat Oysters! I recommend getting here when they open as this place is clearly a hotspot! The Oysters are delicious and the staff are well informed and can help you find the Oyster for you. The restaurant has a cool local vibe. Right on the main drag, parking can be tough but worth the walk! Great spot to people watch and enjoy some friends and family. Kid friendly. I am making this one of top 10 places to eat. We also ordered the crab toast as well as the Manilla clams. So, buckle up, bring your wallet and wear your stretchy pants! I don't say this often.. but I'm kinda mad about how good the food is here. read more

Small intimate setting with stellar food and excellent service. The kelp caesar salad, burger with bacon jam (what?! ), and king salmon panzanella were destination worthy. read more

We finally got a reservation and I see what all the noise is about. The food and service are amazing. We had the clam dish and seaweed bread which combined together perfectly. The flavors in the clam dish are 2-3 Michelin Star level IMO. The halibut main dish was artfully prepared and the mole was out of this world. My only recommendation is to provide a wine bottle list when seated and make the beer pours a full pint. read more

Absolutely AMAZING. The perfect place for a laid back dinner on a crisp evening after exploring the island. We started with the oysters and each one was better than the last. The seaweed focaccia is smokey, salty and the perfect texture!! We then had the golden beats, Scallops and Manilla Clams. Everything was perfectly curated and the Service was impeccable. They also had the BEST apple cider I have ever had. I would have loved a gallon to go! read more

Came here for my birthday and it's been a long time waiting! We got the oysters, ceviche, the octopus, and the fish..... we wanted to get everything on the menu!!! The oysters were amazing and I need that hot sauce bottled up. Mains were excellent. Champagne was given for free for my birthday, as well as, a birthday card. Parking was easy! Ambiance was intimate and loved to see the kitchen. 10/10 read more

Service and ambiance were great. Overall super impressed with the food. I would have skipped the dessert and tried more small plates next time. Loved the ceviche, crab, and mushroom plates. Dessert was still good but not as enjoyable as the tapas. read more

Really thoughtful food, skillfully combing lots of flavors & technique. Big on umami & pushing the limit of imagination, yet rustic & casual enough for the island locals. The restaurant is small but has dedicated spaces for walk-ins. read more

Seabird was absolutely incredible. The food was phenomenal; our tapas were impeccably prepared and artfully presented, not to mention the quality of the seafood was outstanding. Cocktails were excellent and accompanied the dishes well. I loved the Halibut Ceviche and King Salmon Tartare, and was an instant fan of the Seaweed Bread. Service was top-notch, our party was perfectly taken care of and we truly enjoyed our evening at Seabird. This place is a new favorite and I can't wait to come back again. Highly recommend. read more

This was a lovely restaurant and experience. I am happy that I got to try out the new restaurant (open 3+ weeks now as of date) Food--unique, refreshing, and high quality ingredients all around. Recommend *Dungeness Crab, Mussels, and Clams *Ivory King Salmon *Seaweed Bread *Pan Roasted Salsify *Seaweed Ice Cream Do Not Recommend *Salmon Agnolotti Detailed: Highly recommend the crab and mussels as well as the salmon. The crab, mussels, and clam are in a salty tomato broth with a bit of spice as a kick. I can definitely taste the freshness of the Dungeness crab (tastes as fresh as the crab that I've caught myself in the past off the pier), and the mussels and clams are fresh too. Portion is good for the $53 price. The Ivory Ling Salmon was also great. Line caught wild salmon is a bit tougher than farm but the kitchen did a great job making it tender. Side dishes--seaweed bread ($13) was very unique and enjoyed it. Definitely tastes like hearty rustic bread with a seaweed twist. The seaweed butter was fresh. Pan roasted salsify ($15) was very good. Great flavor to the leek and the runny duck egg is a nice touch. Good texture and a nice crunch but is still soft inside. Seaweed ice cream ($15) was cute, more of a sampler taste wise, it looked nice and had a bit of seafoam bubble to it. Do not recommend Salmon Agnolotti ($27)--underwhelming and do not recommend. Very small bites. Moreover, I've never been a fan of 'Al dente' style cooking. A bit too hard. Perhaps that was it, but in general, it was not memorable for us taste wise. Tasty radish slice though. Service-- Great service. Service Charge set at 20%. Tipped a little extra on top. We were happy that the service stayed high quality as that is not always the case when there is a service charge. read more

This may be one of my favorite seafood restaurant in the Greater Seattle area. My partner and I came for my birthday and I was pleasantly surprised with a signed birthday card from the staff and complimentary champagne. On the small plate menu, we ordered, - Oysters - Halibut Ceviche - must order! - King Salmon Tartare - my favorite of the night! - Mushroom custard - Manila clams Large plate menu, - Albacore dish - this was my least favorite plate honestly. Everything was really bland and underwhelming for the price. Would not recommend this plate. Overall, I had a great experience here. Everything was very fresh and well thought out. Will definitely return again. read more

Delicious and delightful experience. We chose three appetizers which fed the two of us.

We had the opportunity to enjoy Hitchcock's amazing menu a couple of times and when I heard about this new, sea focused venture I had to try it out. Unfortunately, our first reservation was cancelled due to short staff from covid, but they were incredibly communicative and helpful in making new arrangements. It was well worth the wait, and everything we tried was not only delicious, but beautifully presented. It was clear they had put a lot of thought, creativity, and passion into the menu. Our favorites from the night were the halibut ceviche, sablefish, and potatoes and mushrooms Will be sure to come back again read more

Seabird exceeded our expectations even though they were really high to begin with! The standouts were the halibut ceviche, the focaccia, and the halibut. Like, it's hard to explain how fantastic these dishes were. We ordered seconds of the first 2. The oysters were also great and came with this delicious hot sauce that you can usually purchase from them but sadly they were running low last night - I would come back even just for that! The mushroom/grain dish was really savory and delicious and the cod was also fantastic. We loved our server as well. I'd make the trek to Bainbridge in a heartbeat to go back to this place. Was so worth it read more

Amazing dining experience with a great waitstaff. The dishes were well thought out and presented for high visual pleasure. The quality of the fish was unmistakable. Flaky salmon, tender scallops and really well prepared rockfish were the highlights. The cocktails were tasty and unique as well. WARNING - if you go with someone who does not like seafood, you should reconsider. My wife had a great experience, but it was not in here wheelhouse and with only 2 non-fish items available it made it a little difficult. The setup is sparse and cool and well worth the ferry ride. read more

Food: Just came in for Dessert and Coffee, both were excellent. Very innovative! Service: Quite attentive, checked in often and I felt well cared for. Ambiance: Varied music, a little on the louder side, could benefit from some noise dampening on the ceiling, but overall not to bad. read more

Stopped in for oysters during their noon to 5pm special. The hostess was very rude and wouldn't let us sit outside as a group of 5. Not going back as there are lots of other options in town. read more

I have eaten here twice in the current iteration. It's delicious, the service is excellent, and the presentation beautiful. The restaurant is very pretty with romantic/relaxing lighting. Seating is good; I wish the bar was a little more out of the way and comfy. Have tried almost every small dish on the menu. All are tasty and many I'd call delicious. The flavors work together well, but for me, they don't have that extra something that makes you close your eyes and go silent at every bite so you can focus on the tastes. That is what I want from Seabird, and I'll definitely be back looking for it again soon. read more

No. I can see it being impressive for someone with less experience with food. It was a nice change of pace after the pandemic and wanting something nicer on the island... we ordered a few rounds of food, oysters, cocktails. Bill came out over $350 for 2 people. So for that price, dude, I'd much rather go to Canlis or Kashiba Sushi or Ascend Steaks ... Overall, the place was trying like REALLY hard. Appreciate the effort... just not for me. Value = 1.5 Food was ok. We started with a cocktail and oysters - and that was soooo awesome. Oysters being raw, it's hard to mess up. Everything else... ranged from a 2 star (The Halibut ceviche was appalling. Gross. Disturbing. It was sitting in this large bowl of liquid. What? I didn't get it. It's like they were trying WAY TOO HARD.) We ordered the large beef dish at the end - dry and blah. Couldn't eat it. Took it home in box, also couldn't eat it. Oysters = 4.0 Food = 2.5 Cocktails = 4.0 Service was great. Everyone was super attentive and kind and professional. Service = 4.5 Ambiance = 3.5 Then I got home and felt sick all night, so that wasn't fun either. Sorry... no bueno in my book. read more

5.5 out of 5, our new favorite restaurant in the Seattle area. Everything was incredible - the halibut ceviche, salmon tartare, seaweed focaccia, crab and cabbage, and the oysters were top notch - the list goes on. Well priced for the value and all locally sourced ingredients. Nice job! read more

seabird was totally beyond my expectations - truly some of the best and most innovative seafood you'll find around the Seattle area. We started with an order of bread (wow that butter! bursting with seaweed flavor) as well as ceviche & razor clams. The clams were spectacular - super rich and salty. Another highlight was the large plate, we opted for halibut and were not disappointed. The black garlic mole was absolutely delicious. A bit surprisingly, I also loved the salsify - wow where has a dish like this been all my life! Then we opted to finish up with a couple of espresso martinis for dessert - expertly made and a great way to end a great meal. Highly recommend! read more

Have been to Seabird several times, and their food and service have been extraordinary. Many of their ingredients are locally and sustainably sourced. Most recently, we had made a reservation for a special event and they had to close on that day. They not only booked a reservation for the following day, but comped our entire (~$250) meal. read more

Food and service are fine. Texts when table is ready. Good location. But. The bill adds a 5% charge to menu prices. Not for service, just a Gotcha. Why? Nobody on Bainbridge Island cares about prices, but this bad surprise is very annoying. Just make the menu prices truthful, please. read more

A very mixed experience honestly. Upon our arrival we were told there would be an hour and a half wait. We graciously took seats at the bar as an alternative. It was interesting that no one showed up during our two hour stay to use two of the open tables. Seemed like BS honestly. The best part of our visit was the bartender Malia as well as the food. It was quite good. The wine selection is very limited and was priced at 300% of market according to Wine Searcher data. This makes it particularly hard to swallow a 5% surcharge which was added to our bill to equalize wages between tipped and non-tipped staff. Not my problem. Caution urged. read more
