Food and wine were delicious and the portions were generous. Prices were steep, but it follows the market. One dish was made incorrectly, but it was remedied very promptly. Our service was prompt and consistent and our server was friendly and helpful. It was a bit noisy where we were seated, but there were also 2 larger groups near by. Good experience, but would have been a little nicer if it had been a little quieter. We would def go back.

As always, for a seemingly simple menu at first glance, the flavor pairings are outstanding. We loved the heirloom tomato salad and baked Brie with fig and onion jams as appetizers. Beautiful fall flavors! Fullers, Port Angeles, WA

They were out of several entrees and didn’t let us know until we were ordering. Only wine available was the house label. Our server was knowledgeable but checked out. My steak was done to perfection, but what I planned to order was fish….

The food and service were excellent as always. However it was difficult to enjoy it as the air was blowing right on us. I’m a naturally warm guy and it was very cold. I will almost certainly return, but not without a puffy jacket and hat that covers my ears. The on duty manager was dismissive of our feedback.

We sat outside for a late lunch on a weekend. The hosts, servers, and other staff were exceptionally friendly. I was surprised at how quickly the food and wine came out, despite it being busy; we were hungry and thrilled! The waiter was wonderful and had a great knowledge of the menu and wine flights. The seasonal fruit flatbread pizza was absolutely delicious, as was the salad I ordered (a Caesar with subbed chipotle dressing). The prices were reasonable and portions were generous!

We ate here twice already and are getting drinks Ana appetizers now. Burratta and flatbread with cheese was great. Steelhead and gnocchi was wonderful the first night and ate it for lunch the next day. Second night did the porterhouse for two, fabulous. No leftovers this time. Best place for food and service we found at Suncadia

Nice facility. Service was ok, food was too. Nothing really wowed me. I think they split a family into two booths and we were in between so it eas very annoying because the kids and grandma kept going back and forth. So they kept passing us continuously and at times even hit our table and me. There were so many servers walking around or staff but the attention to us wasn’t constant. Appetizers came later after our main dishes as they forgot to put the order in. My drink was really good, forgot what it was called but similar to a mule.
