This joint was worth the hype. If you're either a vegan or vegetarian, this is the perfect spot…read more Never have I thought a "100% plant-based" burger spot could actually exist. I was so close to not making the trip, but glad I did. There is some parking outside, but there is also paid parking close by. The inside looks like your typical burger joint; limited seating, tiny counter, and 2 self-service spots where you can place your order. Not only do they serve burgers, they also sell local beers as well, given there is a brewery nearby. If you pick the right seat you could see them preparing your order. I ordered the "Firehouse Burger," and the name says it all! Regardless, this burger was huge and packed with flavor. I felt like I was about to break my jaw when I took my first bite. The patty was cooked perfectly with melted pepper jack cheese. Also included was jalapeño, which was done 3 ways: smoked, pickled and crispy. Their habanero was not only delicious, but also carried a kick to it l. I tried to add some vegan bacon, sadly they ran by the time I arrived. If you are ever in the Poulsbo, WA area, I would definitely suggest you stop by here. I doubt you will ever find a better a burger anywhere else.

4.1/5 My fiance and…read moreI took a drive out to Poulsbo from Seattle. While exploring the town we stopped in for some burgers. Ambiance - A smaller space underneath another restaurant. Maybe about 10 seats. Being right on the waterfront, you really wanna get your food to go and eat outside. Service - self serve kiosk and a pick up window. That being said when doing food pickup they were really nice. Food - These were some hearty burgers. I had the kimchi burger, my fiance had the bacon burger. I didn't know until afterwards these were plant based! I would never have known. Burger was so good and juicy. We both also got fries, I had the garlic fries and I swear there was like a half cup of minced garlic on them lol no complaints. They also have some nice beer/cider selection. It was a little pricey but they delivered on a solid burger. Overall this was a perfect end to our day in Poulsbo. Grabbing food here and finding a bench on the water on a nice day, nothing beats that. If you're in Poulsbo, gotta stop here.

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.

Burrata Bistro offers fantastic value compared to Seattle prices--as long as you order the right…read moredishes, you're in for a great meal! ​The Highlights: * ​Ragu Bolognese & Ossobuco: Absolute stars of the night. The ragu had incredible depth of flavor with just the right amount of saltiness, and the ossobuco was beautifully cooked and super tender. * ​Burrata Caprese: Fresh, creamy, and made even better by a unique pistachio pesto. * ​Starters: A bit of a mixed bag. We had a couple of other starters that were really good, though the roasted potatoes with spicy tomato sauce/aioli and goat cheese stuffed dates were just okay. ​The Miss & Service Notes: * ​Seafood Paella: The biggest letdown of the night since it was the dish I was most excited for. Very bland and lacking depth--I actually ended up mixing leftover ragu sauce into it just to give it some flavor! * ​30-Min Chicken Warning: A friend wanted the half chicken, but we had to pass because the server mentioned a 30-minute cook time after we asked. It would be super helpful if that wait time was explicitly noted on the menu! * ​Menu Wish: Was secretly hoping for an octopus/polpo dish given their tapas focus, but no luck this time. Verdict: Great prices and awesome value overall. Stick to the rich pastas, braised meats, and pick your starters carefully!

The ambiance is attractive and we were immediately greeted and seated upon our arrival. There is a private lot. I started with an exotic drink with mezcal and fresh blackberries since this is blackberry country. I forget the name but it is on the picture. It was delicious. The wife had Passion Fruit and it was also delicious. For entrees, the wife had chicken mole and did not care for it. The chicken was bone-in which is normally fine, but she did not care for this chicken. The mole was very spicy. There is a difference between flavorful with a kick or slow burn, but this was overtly spicy. She did not eat much and did not take it home. I had an exotic dish which I don't remember the name but it was essentially a chicken stew served in mortar bowl. Rice and black beans came on the side, but I added them to the stew to make it thicker. It was delicious. Very flavorful with a slow burn. If the review were based on this dish alone, it would be 5 stars. Our server was attentive and helpful. I liked the vibe and food more than the wife did, We are in Poulsbo only a couple of days so we probably won't return, but if we were here longer I would lobby for a return.

Initially we were a little dumbfounded at the idea of purchasing and pouring our own drinks. But, they were well staffed with friendly help for first-timers such as ourselves. It's really quite simple once you get the hang of it - maybe too simple. The one drawback for me was the limited selection of beers. Perhaps I am just spoiled by places with too many taps! It was a fun visit and we will likely be back.

Sogno di Vino - Poulsbo, WA…read more We had an excellent meal at Sogno di Vino on their beautiful outdoor patio! The setting under the big tree with string lights was charming and made for a perfect sunny summer afternoon. We started with the bruschetta, which was fresh, bright, and nicely finished with a balsamic drizzle. For our main dishes, we ordered two versions of the Linguini alla Checca: one loaded with large, perfectly grilled shrimp and the other topped with seared ling cod. Both pastas were light, flavorful, and beautifully executed with sweet cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, and generous shaved parmesan. The seafood was cooked just right and really stood out. We also shared a con carne pizza piled with Pepperoni, Fennel Sausage, Salami, Pancetta, Mozzarella, and Goat Cheese. YUM!!! It had a great crust with nice char and tasted fantastic. Everything arrived hot and clearly made with care. The service was friendly and attentive, and dining on the patio was a real highlight. If you're in Poulsbo and looking for solid Italian food in a relaxed outdoor setting, Sogno di Vino is an easy recommendation. We'll definitely be back.

Forgot our waitress' name but she had cute black cat earrings on. She and the man bussing the tables checked up on us and made sure all our orders were correct. But we had to ask the hostess for things because we couldn't find our waitress. It took awhile for our drinks and food to arrive. We waited almost half an hour before our food were brought out to us. In the mean time we were given yummy complimentary focaccia bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping. The Salssicia pizza with sausages and mushrooms was a hit with our group. We also ordered the Caleb and Primavera pizzas.

Entrance is down a short alleyway and up a set of stairs in the back. Tizley's sits on the main drag downtown and didn't appear to have a view of the water per se, but the (limited) balcony dinning sits right over all the action going on down on the street...which seemed cool, though my wife and I elected to sit indoors on this day. Inside is very nicely decorated in a Austro-Bavarian tavern/pub style. Pretty cool and this was exactly what my wife and I wanted when we decided on eating lunch here. FB marketplace brought us to town for the day and Yelp brought us to Tizley's. Service - we hit Tizley's right at high noon and they were pretty busy. Despite this, we were seated within ten minutes - a nice surprise as the hostess (and possibly owner/manager??) initially cited us a 20-minute wait. Our waiter was prompt, friendly, and very efficient throughout our entire meal. He checked in on us frequently and ensured we were enjoying our meal. Food - I had the Wiener schnitzel and my wife had the Jägerschnitzel - both of us had mash and spaetzle as our sides. Both of us enjoyed our schnitzels - in my case, I was truly happy their Wiener schnizle was in fact a veal cutlet and not pork... which I've found to be a common substitute here in the PNW. Beer menu was robust and had an emphasis on German-styled beers! We will definitely be back!

I made a reservation for our party just in case as it was a Saturday night. The restaurant is actually located upstairs and access is gained by walking along the side of the building down a small alley. Thankfully another reviewer mentioned this. Many German dishes were on the menu. My group opted we share a large pretzel as an appetizer. Totally a wonderful home made pretzel served with bier cheese and two different types of mustards. I ordered the jaegerschnitzel with German potato salad. The schnitzel had a wonder flavor and it was covered in a mushroom gravy. I was so impressed with the potato salad. It was a flavorful pair to the schnitzel. This meal felt like someone's grandma made it. Everything was made from scratch and you could taste it in every bite.

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.
