We have been going to this place for years, but it had been some time since our last visit. We…read moredecided it was the perfect place to celebrate my wife's birthday, so invited my son and his girlfriend for dinner. While it has always been a great spot, they have managed to improve even since our last visit - great food, lovely ambiance, and outstanding service. We were a little worried about getting a table as you cannot make reservations for parties fewer than 5, but we were seated immediately and greeted warmly by the staff as we walked in. Dinner was reasonably priced, and each dish we had was wonderful. Our waitress was incredibly attentive without being hovering - an art form if you ask me - and even made sure to wish my wife a happy birthday. We left happy, well fed, and unanimously determined to get back there soon. Many thanks to the Bistro Team for a great evening.

Super yummy food! We stopped in late Saturday night, and unfortunately had to wait an hour (totally…read moreour fault). It was so worth it! We started with the asparagus which was perfectly cooked. I got the mushroom pappardelle (seasonal special) which was delicious. It was super flavorful and chocolatey (trust me, it works). My only complaint was that they don't take reservations for less than 5. Our waitress was helpful and kind!

Food was amazing, don't leave reviews often but food was on point…read more Egg sandwich perfection, their sourdough is excellent. Several people buying bread while we ate. Girlfriend got the French toast which was also excellent. Good consistency, flavor, fresh. All the pastries including the chia goat-cheese and coconut pastry baked excellently. Ambiance is nice and quiet but limited seating Forsure. Service was good, fast, and friendly all you can ask for. Coffee was a 4 out of 5 but not bad at all. 5/5 would recommend will likely be picking up some bread before leaving.

I think one of my girlfriend's favorite sandwiches is Oxalis Kitchen's smashed egg sandwich. And it…read moreis, truly, a tasty sandwich. We generally make sure to stop by whenever we're in Poulsbo or just passing through. Seating is at a premium, with only 3 small, indoor tables, and about 6 seats at the bar. When the weather is good, there are 3 small tables outside. During rush times, all seats can fill. Parking can also be problematic, which can be frustrating. There just aren't that many spots. Service is generally good, and the staff attentive. Online orders through their website almost never work well, however. Two times in a row we showed up at the designated time, only to find that out order had not been made, and we had to spend valuable time clarifying or just plain telling them that we had an order (which we had paid for).

Nice place!! First time with a sit down, had some time so came in. Place is quiet, well lit, good…read moreplace to sit down, rest your toes, have a drink and take a pause in your day.

Location is great, parking was easy to find, relaxed vibes inside. HORRIBLE SERVICE!…read more I just went to a paint and sip kind of event last night at WRB. After we got settled in the back room, my friend and I went up front to order drinks. My friend asked if there is any food available and the lady at the bar snapped back saying "I don't have even two minutes to make anything". There were maybe 2 or 3 other people in line with us checking in for the event, so it's not like they were slammed. My friend asked if she DID have two minutes, what kind of food is offered. We were told they have pretzels and some kind of sausage thing, and that if we come back up later, she *might* have time to heat something up. Are you kidding me?!?!? I wish I would have gotten her name to include it in this review. Horrible, horrible service. Such a great spot but I'll never come back because of her.

Cheaper than oak tree cafe, but also simpler and more straightforward…read more We did not have to wait when we came in on the later side of the brunch time, but I could see this place being very busy. It's pretty big inside and there's a small patio at the front that fills up fast. Food is ok. Meat tasted a bit stale and was lukewarm, but everything else was spot on. This place is very popular with families. Expect loudness.

I'm luv this place. I come to it relatively often…read more It's clean, the staff is friendly good energy and the atmosphere is nice. Just don't ask the chef to make scrambled eggs. You'll end up with an omelet that's been cut in half. If you send it back and say "I want SCRAMBLED eggs, not an omelet". They send it back as a cut up omelet. FRUSTRATING. PLEASE. Someone teach the chef to know how to make a freaking scrambled egg.

Came for the schnitzel and it didn't disappoint! I got the Jaeger schnitzel which is a breaded…read morefried pork cutlet with a mushroom gravy. You can pick two sides and I got potato salad and rotkohl (red cabbage). It was a very hearty and filling meal. The schnitzel with the mushroom gravy was delicious! I loved the sides too. My sister got the shepherds pie which was also great! Very flavorful and came with a fresh side salad. They have indoor seating and some outdoor seating on the balcony overlooking Poulsbo. I'd recommend sitting outside if it's a nice day! Definitely recommend this place if you're in Poulsbo. The portions are big, the food is delicious, and the staff are friendly and nice.

Such a popular spot with incredible views and a great patio--especially when the weather is nice…read more The food seemed authentic and delicious, and overall it's a place you'd expect to love. Unfortunately, the service really took away from the experience. Our server, Jennifer Burnett, was noticeably warm and attentive to another group nearby, but with us, the service felt dismissive and disengaged. For example, my husband ordered an Aperol spritz, and when they were out, we substituted Campari--but what arrived resembled a raspberry sparkling water, not even close to what Campari tastes like. When we brought it up, the response felt very brushed off. It's disappointing because the setting and food have so much potential, but service matters. I'd recommend spending your money elsewhere in Poulsbo--there are plenty of great spots along the main strip that offer both good food and a better overall experience.

Went for the first time last weekend. We ordered a chicken quesadilla and a kids chicken burrito…read more WOW, the chicken quesadilla was filled with some yummy chicken, pico and some good gooey cheese! Never had pico in a quesadilla and it is a game changer. Quesadilla also came with a side of pico and sour cream. The kids chicken burrito is filled with chicken, beans and rice. It's a good size for a kids burrito or for those light eaters. They also offer 2 types of hot sauce, medium and spicy, they ain't kidding when they say spicy! If you can't handle heat, don't get the salsa! Will be hitting up this place everytime we go to Poulsbo!

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.
