I booked a night in a Tower room since my work holiday party was being held in the Salmon room at…read morethe casino. The tower rooms are very conveniently attached to the casino and easy to get back-and-forth to your room. If you stay in a Resort Room, that building is not attached and you have to walk through the parking lot to get to the casino. I would say that that's the only downfall during the winter time of staying over there. But that is where the pool is so it just depends on what you're looking for at your stay. I have no complaints about the room, very clean and nice decor. My husband wished there was room service for breakfast the next morning but that is not available. I also wish they had valet parking. There is not nearly enough parking in the parking lot so if you don't find parking, you have to park in the parking garage and then walk all the way around back in to the hotel. Hotel staff were very friendly and the checkout process was easy. The second part of this review is going to be on the service from my work holiday party. The room was beautifully set up and the food was delicious. The staff that were coming around refilling water and taking plates were very attentive and friendly. We really liked Richard. The one employee that we encountered was the bartender assigned to our room. My first encounter from her I thought she was just having a bad day and I let it go. Not welcoming or friendly at all. Not even a smile. But as the night went on people started talking and it seemed everyone was having a not so good encounter from Robyn. She did not ID anyone all night, except my coworker that asked for a mocktail. She was rude to some people and unprofessional to others. It just progressively got worse. Yes the management will be reaching out to the contact they have at the casino to let them know. I was just so taken back about how somebody could go out of their way to be so rude at a fun holiday party. Other than that, the experience was great and I would highly recommend renting an event room there. Is it worth the drive?...yes

We stayed at the resort side of the two hotels. Two nights was over $700. Overall, pretty…read moredisappointing. The rooms were clean but old. Low water pressure, noisy fridge, loose fixtures, not enough outlets. The pool is unusable as it's enclosed in glass and is a 100+ degree humid greenhouse. They also didn't service the room after the first night. Just left a pack of soap, didn't touch anything else. The pricing is way too high for a room that is less nice than a Holiday Inn Express. The casino is not classy. It's all digital and feels more like gas station with carpet. There aren't a lot of hotel options up in the islands but we won't be staying here again, the price point doesn't reflect the amenities.

On a cold January Tuesday evening, my wife, daughter, and I stopped in for dinner around 530pm…read more Despite not having a reservation, we were quickly seated at a table by the door. The dining room had subdued lighting, with candles on the tables and jazz piped in. My wife was a cheap date and ordered the shrimp Po' Boy. My daughter went with a medium-rare filet, and I went big with a medium-rare rib-eye steak. Salads are not offered with the steak entrees, which was surprising at these prices, but did come with veggies and fries, think skinny fries. After a longish wait, our meals arrived. The steaks were excellently prepared and yummy. My wife enjoyed her shrimp as well. We all decided the fries could have been better, and the veggies, squash, and broccoli were just so-so. Our server was fine but not particularly engaging. I feel the prices are too high for what was delivered. At $69, my rib-eye should have included a small house salad and bread, but it didn't.

If you're looking for a top-tier craft cocktail bar in the Kirkland area, look no further than The…read moreThirst Trap. This place is next level. I've been to plenty of craft cocktail bars, but nothing quite like this one. The bartender--who is also the owner--takes mixology to a whole new level. We're talking scientific precision here, using actual lab equipment to craft drinks that taste as incredible as they look. One drink in particular, "garden" completely blew us away. It was unique, balanced, and absolutely delicious--just one of many standout cocktails we tried. Beyond the drinks, the atmosphere was amazing. The bartender was welcoming, generous with his time, and let us sample and explore different flavors. It felt more like a fun experience than just a night out. Prices were surprisingly reasonable for the quality, and the small bites were spot-on. The whole venue had great energy, and I honestly can't say enough good things about it. We're already looking forward to going back.

Cocktail bar and lounge in Juanita Village that opened in 2025. Has street parking, and the retail…read moregarage in the same building has free parking for the first 2-3 hours or so. It's at the corner of one of the buildings. Dark, mid sized interior with some cool neon lights and light up marble pattern bar counter. Not very busy when I went at happy hour/dinner time on a Friday night, but the place is busier later at night on Friday/Saturday during the warmer months. Sometimes they have events and DJs. Sat at the bar and tried out some happy hour specials. Got the Korean sauce wings ($12) and cheese truffle fries ($8). Decent amount of fries, definitely has cheese flavor but not that much truffle oil aroma. I liked the wings which you get 6 per order. They weren't fried, but rather tender and juicy. Sauce was agreeable. Definitely enough food for my dinner. As for the drinks, I got the rosemary mule which is Moscow mule with some rosemary herb. The copper mug they use is good sized. Tasted refreshing although could feel the alcohol afterwards. Also tried a corpse reviver no. 2, which was a little sweet but has a punch. Cocktail prices are not cheap outside of happy hour, in the upper teens. Overall, was glad I tried the place out. Will drop by for happy hour once in a while.

We just recently came for a smash burger and the very delicious spicy Southern fried chicken sandwich and their stand-out fries. A couple of old-fashioneds went with this perfectly. The drinks were perfectly strong. We used to come for their burger night and get a chick-pea burger that was so savory and tasty. I didn't see it on a recent visit, but perhaps it will rotate in. Also among our historic favorites: BLT: my child's favorite one of all time A delicious tomato-based Italian beef soup with a thick slice of artisan bread It feels casual but special and is a great place to relax on the Island.

The ambiance is cozy but still booming and the staff always handles it like pros. I had a PHENOMENAL espresso martini that was so damn smooth and exactly what my day needed! ;) The star of the show? THE KING CRAB EGGS BENEDICT Oh my GAWD. Where has this bit of heaven been all my life? The eggs perfectly poached little pillows, rich hollandaise, and huge pieces of king crab that make this dish a GAME CHANGER IMO. I'm eccentric I know but trust me. Try it. Safe to say my update was long overdue, as Cafe Hitchcock has officially earned its permanent spot for me when visiting Bainbridge! 5 stars!

All hard surfaces, so I need to let you know that the place is a bit noisy. It wasn't full and we had trouble hearing each other across the table. They have a full menu for brunch and prices range from around $16 for "the usual" of eggs, bacon, and roasted potatoes to $25-30 for fancier plates. Note that toast was a side with extra charge. Brunch for 3 with coffee (and toast) was $115 including tax and tip. Not cheap, but the food was pretty good. The corned beef hash that I had came with a horseradish sauce that was a bit unusual, but good. My wife had "the usual" eggs, bacon, etc. Our son had the "beef benedict" with shredded beef, which, again, was a little unusual, but he said it was good. Service and staff were attentive and pleasant. It is a very convenient place for a nice brunch. We will be trying it for dinner sometime.

The bartender told us about all the events they host there and how it wasn't super busy that night ( there was maybe 5 other people there in total .) We played a couple rounds of pinball and their mini bowling machine, which was tons of fun!!! UNTIL... Since we had such a great time, the first time we went, we decided to go randomly one night, not thinking about which event night it was.( completely our fault for not checking.) It turned out to be a karaoke night. The bar was WAY less diverse than it was the first time we went. The mic was extremely loud for how small the building is, which could be fun if you pregame or get your drinks down fast lol. A different bartender served us this time. I couldn't tell if she was intoxicated or just super all over the place. We ordered the same drinks we got last time, but they were made completely different and did not taste good. Overall, probably won't try this place again at least for a while. But I would recommend trying it at least once if you're pretty local & like Barcades. Drinks are decently priced. Did not try food. Pinball machines were about 25¢ each (amazing)

I did like the sesame ginger slaw that came with the fish and chips, that was a unique touch. Portion sizes were unfortunately small for what you're paying ($22 for 2pc, $28 for 3pc at time of writing). Be warned that they also charge a 3% credit card fee which can add up to quite a bit if you rack up a large bill. The young lady with the blue/purple hair is very friendly and made our experience better. Decent option if you're in a rush to grab dinner before catching the ferry but we'd likely try somewhere else next time we're in Kingston.

They have monthly specials that highlight different themes, so be sure to ask about the current food and drink offerings. They offer 18 beers on draft and two ciders, along with Ghostfish Brewing Company gluten-free beer in cans. The menu includes oysters, elk burgers, nachos, wings, calamari, cheese curds, tacos, and more. On weekends, they serve brunch from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The patio area is nice and features bar stools that wrap around the entire building (there are no tables, just a bar-style railing). It can get a little warm outside since there's limited shade, but the view is to die for. For my gluten-free friends, the Brass Kraken offers gluten-free buns, corn tortillas for tacos, and one fully gluten-free beer option. A great place to visit it you are in the Poulsbo area.
