    Bread was not good
    Ellie Q.

    We came here after a neighbor recommended it for our anniversary. Unfortunately, we were unimpressed. The restaurant is very small and dark. The servers and cooks were under dressed in my opinion. The food was ok to good but nothing memorable. The bread was especially mediocre. Though the server saw that we didn't eat the bread, she didn't ask about it or offer to take it off the bill. Also, they don't sell pizza! What?!

    Great ambiance, food, and service. Would come back in the summertime for their outdoor wood fired pizzas.

    Late evening dine. We were on our last night in Friday Harbor and needed food. Nothing good was open and Tenth House had good reviews and was still open for another half hour. We got there and we're promptly seated. Lovely server and service. Food arrived and looked great, first bite and we stopped and looked at each other. The sauce was perfect, the pasta was perfect, my wife's wine was perfect. We switched plates and tried each other's dish. Again perfect. I had the chicken parm and my wife had the bolognese. My only regrest is that the season for the pizza oven had not arrived. We have to return in the summer!

    Lovely space in an older craftsman. They've made it feel warm with the deep blue and lovely artwork. Service was excellent. We shared the mushroom fettuccine and had rotating cider. So good! Nothing beats fresh pasta with a light creamy sauce, chunks of fresh mushrooms, and a hint of lemon. We savored every bite. Would highly recommend!

    I was on vacation with my friends and we decided to try Tenth House. We were seated immediately and took our seats. We chose a very nice bottle of wine and chatted while we settled in. We started with the Peach and Heirloom Tomato. It was great. Like summertime on a plate. We ordered a bit of flatbread too which was a nice addition. We studied the menu because everything looked so very good. We decided to get four dishes and promised to share, just a bite with each other. Ha. I got the Verde Lasagna which was quite substantial and very tasty. My friends got the Dungeness Crab Alla Chitarra. Fantastic. Lamb Pappardelle Al Ragu that was deeply flavorful and quite rich. I was just a bit envious... My other friend ordered a pizza: The Walla Walla which came out so late we thought they'd forgotten about it altogether. We were all done with our dishes and finally it arrived. I didn't try any but I heard it was good but just a bit underdone. Perhaps because they forgot to make it and rushed. Not a big deal but a small mistake that threw off the rhythm of the meal just a tiny bit. We shared a piece of olive oil cake that was ok. The service was a bit inattentive and we wondered where our server had gone a few times. Atmosphere was nice as it was a perfect summer evening. Upscale but casual. All in all 8/10. We will be back again someday soonish. Thanks!

    We loved Tenth House. It felt cozy and down to earth, the staff was friendly and thoughtful without being intrusive, and most of all the food was really delicious. Sometimes I find Italian Restaurants to be underwhelming, but we thoroughly enjoyed each dish (the bucatini was so good). We also had the focaccia with their special artichoke dip which also stood out for its freshness. I don't usually leave reviews but felt this place deserves a higher rating! Thanks for a delicious meal.

    Come on over! Welcoming entrance!

    First time in San Juan islands for a girls trip over Memorial Day weekend. We grabbed spot at Tenth House and loved every minute of it. Super chill vibe and all the servers are super friendly. We ordered three apps, two entrees and one salad. The pace was great and we enjoyed every bite. We were informed everything is homemade and prep sometimes may take longer than anticipated. Grateful for the heads up but things did not take longer at all. Everything was great and all the plating was beautiful as well. To top it all off enjoying all the good food al fresco was nothing short of amazing! If I'm in the area again, I'll be sure to come again. Next time I hope the pizza oven is fired up. Found out it wasn't pizza night the night we were there.

    Chicken parm plus spaghetti
    Evelyn M.

    1st it is not a say to find food options available at 8pm on a Saturday in June. This was a last minute takeout order. Definitely meant for a lovely meal onsite - very expensive for takeout. The are very very kind! The Caesar salad is with kale and the chicken parm is HUGE but spaghetti is an additional $8

    This was the best meal we had on our trip. The bread was incredible, the MEATBALLS OMG (it was a special so I apologize if they don't have them but if they do you MUST try), and the lasagna was as good as home, chicken parm was better than home. My only complaint is that I don't live closer to come more often. Such a cute, homey vibe. 10/10 food. 10/10 service. 10/10 vibes.

    BLT with an egg
    Alyssa M.

    SO TASTY! This was such a cute brunch find! It's located a bit off from the main busy strip of Friday Harbor in a standalone house with ample outdoor patio seating. It was three of us and we easily got a table outside around 10AM on a Sunday for brunch. Although it's a short menu, I had the hardest time deciding what to order! Everything sounded so delicious! All their food is sourced from local farms and bakeries on the island and across Skagit Valley. I opted with the BLT with and egg and a hot latte. The BLT was delicious! The perfect savory breakfast item with such fresh ingredients. The place itself has both indoor and outdoor seating to choose from. Service is great and we didn't feel rushed at all to finish our meals! I would definitely come here again to try another one of the entree options!

Our party of three visited for lunch at noon on a Thursday. Since we had a reservation, we were seated immediately at a lovely table right by the window. The atmosphere was great, and the staff were incredibly courteous and friendly throughout our meal. We initially thought about starting with some small plates, but we were so eager for seafood that we jumped straight into the entrees. We weren't disappointed: Bouillabaisse: This was our first time trying this dish, and it was the highlight for us. It was incredibly flavorful--exactly what we were craving. Spicy Prawn Mac and Cheese: It definitely lived up to its name! It wasn't "blow-your-head-off" hot, but it had a perfect, noticeable kick that really elevated the dish. Blackened Cod Tacos: These were fantastic. The cod was perfectly prepared and worked so well with the rest of the taco ingredients. We also enjoyed a couple of non-alcoholic drinks that hit the spot, though I'll admit that since I'm writing this a couple of weeks later, I forgot to snag photos or the specific names of the drinks! They also have a really nice patio area if you prefer dining outdoors. Whether you're a seafood lover or just looking for a great meal with a view, this place is a must-visit!

After noticing that two couples who arrived after us had already been seated, I went back inside to ask about our table. The staff seemed a little irritated by the question, which wasn't a great start to the experience. The waitstaff was very attentive and friendly throughout our meal, which I appreciated. However, it took quite a while for our food to arrive, and when it did, it wasn't very hot. I ordered my eggs over medium, but they came out overdone. From what I observed, the kitchen and counter staff seemed somewhat disorganized, which may have contributed to the long wait and cold food. I've heard mixed reviews about this place, and based on my visit, it seems like your experience may depend on the day. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either. There are definitely some positives, especially with the waitstaff, but overall the experience fell short of expectations.

What really drew my attention was some of the piss poor reviews from some fake Yelpstars...you know the ones folks; those fake folks that got three total reviews all one star. I thought it was comical about how scared and bent customers were regarding Vinnie's attitude. Honestly, if you can't hack a strong attitude maybe you should just stay inside and be scared! More great pizza for the rest of us. Cousin Vinnie's is not a hole in the wall pizzeria it's a walk up to a door you can't enter and order directly with Vinnie working in the kitchen! Bad A**! We ordered up one large thin crust with olives, mushrooms, pepperoni, and sausage. One personal size all meat pizza and cannolis. Vinnie told me to come back in about 35-40 minutes. He's a one man show people. Rolled back to the front of the pizzeria and Vinnie was showing off other pies he created for orders infront of us. Once ours was done he freshly filled the cannolis and showed off our pizzas. Wow not only did they look great they tasted great. Loved the flavor of the crust and ingredients! 5 stars Vinnie! Great pizza from a great guy! I'll be back!
