We've been coming here since they've started serving dinner. We love the space, the wait staff and the energy. When there was a change of chef - the then chef went to open a new space down the road - the food quality started suffering - now on our most recent visit - the menu was mainly sandwiches and burgers w/just a couple of other entrée selections. it is disappointing and we probably wont be back until they figure out their chef situation and menu.

Shrimp in the salad was mostly raw. Caesar salad itself was a mass of mayonnaise dressing. Cold french fries. Overall: God awful.

We always enjoy dining at the café and hope that you will be there for a LONG time. We are never disappointed when we dine with you. Keep up the great work. You are a diamond for the North Kitsap area and will remain as the #1 dining spot in Kitsap county for us.

We ate here while visiting family in the area. We were 5 adults. David was our waiter and did a good job. I had the fish and chips made from Rock Fish, which was good, as was the tarter sauce. My husband had the PG burger, nice and spicy and good! My uncle had the bread pudding for dessert with a serving size that was about a fourth of an entire 4 layer cake. HUGE and he had that for dessert 2 nights hence. My husband had the 4 layer chocolate cake, which he liked, but refridgerated cake is not to my liking. This is a very small place of just a couple tables mainly built for 4 people, several tables for 2 and only 1 table that holds 6. They also have a bar that serves a happy hour menu as well as the full dinner menu. I think they also have a separate dining room if you book a large party. All in all, we would return!

This restaurant has very good food. However, they have no heating system. It was uncomfortably cold. We ate fast!

We have been to Port Gamble Café several times over the last few years and have been generally happy with both the service and particularly with the Chef's efforts to bring high quality local food to Kitsap County. However, in this case we were disappointed. The service was not commiserate with the price of the meal - the wait staff on this Friday night consisted of one person in the dining room who was rather nonchalant about the whole thing. Additionally the dishes I had (Roasted chicken for the entrée and an small Cesar Salad before) were both exceedingly salty. This really surprised me since I normally am either happy with the salt level or add a little. The meals the rest of our party of 4 had were not salty but were not particularly noteworthy either - this was definitely not one of the Cafe's better nights. We generally eat out about once every other week at a restaurant where we expect to spend between 50 to 100 dollars per person (including wine/drinks) but after this evening we have decided there are better options in Kitsap for such meals. We will try them again in a year or so.
