I met Tristan when he was first opening up at the Ruston Waterfront and he's become my go-to for…read moresalmon! So, here's the deal: Tristan sources his salmon from local tribes. You're buying salmon that was sustainably caught by natives and smoked or cured by natives. All of the salmon is frozen as soon as possible so you're getting it as fresh as Tristan can manage. The candied salmon and smoked salmon are fantastic. But, the one thing I grab every time I'm at the Ruston Marketplace is his salmon dip. It's like salmon crack. Next time you need a side of salmon for the grill hit up Tristan and see what's available. Grab some dip to munch on while you're grilling. You won't be disappointed. Just learned today that Tristan will be offering a subscription service in 2024! Looking forward to that.

We are just up the hill, so I will be sure to head down there soon to pick up the other things I had my eye on. Very cool addition to this area! Next time I will be sure to take more pics!

I have been to this "farmers" market twice and maybe I have visited on not the greatest days, but I…read morehave never seen any farm vendors let alone fresh produce..etc. There is a lot of vendors selling things like clothing, jewelry, etc. I have seen a lot of food trucks also. It would be nice if there was local farms, produce, eggs, meat, etc. There's far better farmers markets in the area. I would just consider this an outdoor market.

As such, I hit up 3+ grocery stores every week, most of which are high end grocery stores and I travel in between Seattle, Bellevue, and Tacoma to get to them. I pass by Central Co-Op all the time, but I hadn't gone in until recently. First impressions? Really small produce department with truly awful quality. Skip! The store is overall small with a small selection of items with high price tags. I see zero reason to ever step into this store again and ended up walking out emtpy handed to drive to another store. There are a LOT of options for grocery stores, choose any other one.

(Cost): $8.27 + tip (Location): It's in a fantastic area inside a fairly busy shopping and food center in Ruston. There are beautiful views of the water not too far from here and a lot of places for you to sit at and eat. The actual building that this place is in was very crowded though, so I would take my food and go. There is a parking garage, along with a parking lot in front of the building that wasn't full at 11am, but it did fill up by 1 pm. The only con is that people weren't cleaning up after their pets, so watch where you step! (Service): Great, the cashier and the employee who handed me my meal were friendly enough. (Food): Street Tacos Combo (5/5)-- came with beans, rice, three tacos with your choice of meat, and a drink of your choice. Absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked barbacoa! This felt like it could feed two to three people, so of course I made it my mission to eat the whole thing in one goal. That's the only downside-- the meat is very oily and heavy, so if you're sensitive you should definitely not eat the entire thing in one sitting. Other than that it was one of the best tacos that I have had in Washington.

We recently had brunch here and came away with overall a positive experience…read more The service throughout our visit was a little on the slow side, and our first impression wasn't the best. We arrived slightly before our seating time and noticed plenty of open tables, but the hostess was less than accommodating and unwilling to seat us early. It felt a bit unnecessary given how many open tables at the time. Once we were seated, the experience improved. The food was absolutely outstanding--well-prepared, flavorful, and easily the highlight of our visit. The views were also incredible and made for a beautiful brunch setting.

We first heard about this place through a suggestion, but initially, we decided to explore other…read moreoptions. However, on a spontaneous decision, my husband and I finally gave it a try one day. Our first experience was quite pleasant--I enjoyed a Bloody Mary (Bunny's Brew) and a burger, while my husband savored some wine along with the spicy pork belly sandwich. We also started with a meatball appetizer. Overall, we appreciated the good service, charming ambiance, and delicious food. Our second visit was even better, especially sitting by the window with stunning views. Once again, the service was excellent, and the food was truly tasty. I had another Bloody Mary (Cooper & Salt Bloody) and spaghetti pomodoro. I can't quite recall what my husband ordered, but I remember sharing a delightful Tiramisu for dessert. By the third time, we came with the family to enjoy dessert after lunch. Most recently, during our fourth visit with friends, we found that the service and menu remained consistently enjoyable. All in all, this is a fantastic place to dine, with beautiful outdoor views--even on rainy days. My one curiosity is whether the menu changes? Although every visit has been wonderful, seeing some new dishes would make the experience even more special!
