We found oyster catcher during a weekend trip to Whidbey island. It came up on almost every list of…read moremust visit places, so though it was a 40 minute drive from our Airbnb we decided we had to try it. We celebrated our anniversary there and it was worth it! The space is cozy and a good vibe for a date night. We loved both of the dishes we tried, especially the scallop risotto. All the seafood was fresh and cooked really well. The miso cod had the perfect crispiness on the skin and the scallops were perfect. All the tabloids went really well together. The cocktails were not bad, but not our favorite part of the meal. Everyone was super friendly and we really appreciated that our server knew exactly when to check in and give us space. He also picked up on the fact that we wanted to share all the dishes so he brought them out one at a time. When we ordered dessert he added in a candle since he knew we were celebrating and brought out extra dessert wine and goodies too! We appreciated the attention to detail :) Definitely a must try in Whidbey!

For years, whenever we'd visit Coupeville, we drive past "The Roost", dismissing it as "just…read moreanother beer-and-pizza joint" Driving through the neighborhood on Easter Sunday, "The Roost" was one of the few eateries that was open. (And they had a nice, covered outdoor patio seating area, where our dogs were welcome!) However, we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food! They do have beer and pizza -- but we opted for the salad (healthy) and the Pork Belly (perhaps not so much). Both were five-star delicious! And the view from the patio is also pretty darn nice. We'll be going back!

We're volunteering in the area for two months. When we heard about Goldies, we thought it would…read morebecome our "go to" spot. I mean, wood-fired oven, eclectic ingredients, and local sourcing. What's not to like, right? Well... We ordered the sausage and added their garlic mushroom special topping. While the crust had just the right amount of char, it was really chewy. It may be grown and milled locally, but it lacked the crispness and airiness of a good Napolitano pizza crust. Also, we paid an additional $8 for the mushrooms. There were minuscule amounts on our pizza. There wasn't that much of sausage, either. We ordered a glass of Sangiovese and another of Tempranillo. They were imported and fairly acidic. Why not take advantage of the great WA wines? The guy handling the orders (dark hair and a good amount of ink) was great. He apologized that they had just run out of the Walla Walla onions we wanted to add to our pizza. He gave us a reasonably good estimate of the wait time. When we finished our wines and decided to change our dine-in to to-go, he made it happen with no issues, despite dealing with a long line of people placing orders.

We really enjoyed the curried chicken salad and I could have eaten an entire carton of the Panzanella. We also tried the Summer Squash Muffuletta and it was something really special. The service was on the slower side (such is life on island time) but the staff was very nice (and even made my daughter a grilled cheese off menu). The market was filled with so many yummy local treats that I wish we had time to try! We took our food to go and had an Oceanside picnic, the best way to enjoy it all!

We had a short wait time of about 45 mins, and it was worth every minute. The food was to die for, the atmosphere was warm and comfortable, and (again) the staff was delightful. I wish I had 5 stomachs so I could eat everything on the menu, but I guess I'll just have to come back! If you are looking for a nicer place to celebrate, go on a date, or even just take the family out for dinner, definitely go to Front Street! The view is amazing and everything just went right for us. Next time we will go for lunch so we can sit outside on the patio! Thank you Front Street, and thank you to our server Kayla! You were so awesome!

The mussels are always fresh, and the garlic toast is a must to dip in the sauce. Their cocktail menu is also really good with a lot of fun options, and the vibe here is one of the reasons I keep coming back. Service has always been good too. This is one of my favorite stops on Whidbey, and I'd easily recommend it if you're in the area. PS: Don't forget their dessert. So good.

The tables quickly filled with groups of people playing games, reading, or coloring. The owner made light conversation about the new biscottis that she was offering and asking for feedback. I had the chocolate brownie biscotti with my latte and it was the perfect afternoon snack. My son had the hot apple cider. Both our drinks were served in BIG unique ceramic mugs that made you want to wrap your hands around and warm up by the fireplace. We played cards and enjoyed the vibe on a chilly winters day before we continued with our adventure around the island.

We wanted a place to watch the World Cup game that was on, and they definitely had it playing. Their tv's are a little small, but well positioned for all the tables/booths. The staff was very friendly, but seemed rushed/preoccupied most of the afternoon. I totally understand the lunch rush, plus the game, but we felt forgotten about a few times. Also, this kind of led into a couple small items we ordered being forgotten about. HOWEVER, we did get our main entrees and drinks, and those were so amazing. I wanted to try everything on the menu! While we were waiting for a table we actually met a few locals and they praised Toby's! We were just a little disappointed with the service, but everyone was super friendly! Note: I apologize for not taking pictures of our food, we were so hungry we dove right in!

I ordered the 8 oz sirloin steak and asked for it to be prepared medium rare. I declined the side-salad due to dietary restrictions. However I had no problem eating the steak fries and sourdough toast. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw a portion of horseradish included. Take care with the horseradish because it is very potent! Fortunately I enjoy very potent horseradish and happily ate it with my steak. The steak was cooked perfectly and was juicy and tasty. I was not disappointed in any way with my meal. I did regret not ordering a red wine though. If I had it to do over I would have indulged.
