I wish I could give ten stars. This was one of the most well executed and interesting lunches I’ve had in a long time. All dishes were creative and the variety on the menu was really appealing (many things had to be saved for another time). The beef soup and pork soup were great. The salad was summer in your mouth. And the plate of rillete, cheese etc was amazing. Oh and the popcorn was great. Service and ambiance were excellent. Well worth a trip from Seattle alone. Or weekend on Vashon. After my second visit, I firmly stand by what I wrote. I’d elevate this to be one of the top in the region in my books. The flavors are so well played and I lived their incorporation of fermented/pickled veggies. We had the popcorn, pork belly and rice, and the mushrooms over rice. The pork belly was the best preparation I’ve had. Service was exceptional. Will be back.
Very tasty food. I ordered the braised beef meat and noodles. Absolutely delicious! The greens were fresh and crunchy, the beef tender and noodles firm to the tooth. The broth was not salty at all and had great depth of flavor. My wife had the loaded sausage roll. Sausage and roll were perfect. A nice touch was the kernels of sweet corn and pickled onion slices. Well have to come back soon to try the other dishes!
What an absolutely wonderful spot! The food, the service, and the smoked pork chops....🥩 Also, I fell in love with their napkins. I asked the wonderful server if I could buy a few from them so that I could use them as hankies. He and the owner were so kind and offered me brand new ones when I would have purchased the used ones happily. We can't wait to take our children back the next time we visit the island. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! 😊 Venus ✨️
Elegant bar and gastropub in the heart of Vashon. The chocolate chip cookie with whipped cream was incredible — truly best in class. The BBQ pork sandwich was flavorful and satisfying, and the service was excellent and attentive throughout. A must-visit when on the island.
Ruby Brink was suggested by someone we met earlier in the day and they were right about this place. The restaurant doubles as a butcher and they stock two cows and a pig each month and pair all the protein with other farm to table sides. We had the pork chop that can only be had in the restaurant, the smoked sprat potato salad, and a pork pistachio patte.... The pork chop was the star, the spiced crust was so good!!!! Rice pudding for dessert and we were off to the ferry! Will definitely be back!
Really good. Drinks were well balanced. Food was fresh and creative. Atmosphere was friendly and fun. Wife got meatballs. I got "spam" and kimchee which was such a good take on a classic. We ordered noodles and broth for the kiddo and she loved it.
Perfect 5/5. We were here for brunch and the food was too good. Loved the menu and the dishes. Biscuits and Mushroom gravy was the best brunch dish we had in a while. Would recommend this place to anyone who is on a day trip to vashon and want to eat at a decent place.
The food was fresh and excellent! We also purchased 2 smoked pork chops to go that were so yummy on our charcoal grill.
So glad we stopped here. We had the Meat and Noodle and Breakfast sandwich sausage for brunch. IT WAS SO DELICIOUS. The soup broth was so umami. Fresh cut bacon from their butcher, fresh seasonal veggies in the soup, perfectly seasoned soft boil egg in the soup. And home made hot sauce we had to take home. 10/10 will take the ferry out just to have it again
OH.MY.GOD. NEW FAVORITE RESTAURANT. Me, my mom, and my friend came here after a swim meet at the Colman pool, and it 100% hit the spot. I ordered the 5 seasoned meat and noodles and omg, it was soooo good, perfectly seasoned, the noodles and all of the toppings where spectacular, the mushrooms where better than any I've ever had My friend got the ham and cheese sandwich (hot) and it was also very good, (I had a bite) she said it was "extravagant" My mom got the "French dip". I personally did not try it because I don't like horseradish sauce, but from what she told me, it was just ok, there wasn't a lot of meat, and there was a TON of sauce. Next time, I hope to get the meatballs, because I WILL be coming back here
