"I had a wonderful time celebrating my birthday dinner at Agate with my family! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was top-notch. We enjoyed the Salmon Pâté, Steak with Hollandaise Sauce, Agate Burger, Macrina Giuseppe with Whipped Butter, Olive Tapenade, Bucatinni with Tomato Sauce. , which were cooked to perfection, and everyone left satisfied. The staff was attentive and friendly, and they made sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, and the overall experience was very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend Agate for a birthday dinner or any special occasion. It's a great place to gather with family and friends and enjoy a delicious meal.

"Unfortunately, I can neither say that this food is authentic or good. I have been here twice and I was hoping that the second time would be a redemption but it was probably worse than the first time. I have eaten a lot of Vietnamese food in my lifetime and there was only one dish that tasted vaguely Vietnamese? I understand that it was part of a fusion concept but many of the menu items just didn't make sense and the menu felt very incohesive. The ambience was nice though and we were seated on the outside patio on a chilly fall day. I feel like it could have been more heated, but that's just a minor complaint.I ordered the chicken buns, chicken pho, and the vermicelli noodles with grilled pork. The vermicelli noodles were the most Vietnamese and it was acceptable. Good char on the pork, although it felt like something was missing-maybe it was that they didn't give the proper herb bundle with mint and such. The chicken buns were not great as the chicken was chewy and stringy, instead of being juicy and moist. Finally, the most egregious menu item was probably the chicken pho with the onsen egg. To be honest, I don't even know what an onsen egg is doing in pho; it didn't work. The chicken, just like the karaage, was very much overcooked and not done as traditional pho ga chicken. It was tough and stringy, and the broth was overwhelmingly a massive salt bomb. The soup was so salty that I couldn't even even drink more than two sips.Finally, the service just wasn't great when I went. I had to flag down the waiter multiple times to even order and ask for water, and there weren't even that many other tables. I also felt frustrated at the end when I was trying to pay for the bill, the waiter took a credit card from my grandparents when I pleaded with him not to and he explained, he was very much first come first serve. I understand this is some specific cultural social norm and not something to drag a waiter into, but it did feel tone deaf. Unfortunately, I just can't see myself returning especially considering the price point is high. There is much better Vietnamese or Asian for a much better price point in Seattle."

"We went to Mora several times while we lived in Bainbridge and the ice cream just didn’t do it for me. I tried several different flavors and all of them tasted bland to me. I think the best one I tried was Strawberry Cheesecake, so I’d recommend that flavor if you do go. But I think it’s inaccurate to compare Mora to Salt and Straw. Honestly, I’d just go to Town and Country and buy a pint of Jeni’s ice cream. That’s the best ice cream you’ll get on the island now that Emma and Otto’s closed."

"The margherita pizza and bruschetta were absolutely delightful! Although I wasn't fond of the spaghetti due to the thick noodles (I prefer the thinner, store-bought kind), the marinara sauce that came with it was fantastic. I would definitely return to explore more vegetarian dishes on the menu. If you love savory flavors, I highly recommend the cannolis for dessert. Overall, I would definitely come back for the pizza and bruschetta—they were delicious! There are also great vegetarian options available!"

"As soon as I stepped into Proper Fish, I was enveloped by the unmistakable atmosphere of a proper fish and chips shop. The sound of frying oil, the utensils designed for hand-held fish and chips, and the traditional newspaper for wrapping all pointed to a genuine experience. Coming in solo, I asked a waiter whether the owners were British, and I was playfully labeled a “British fish and chips connoisseur”—it's a term I’ve become quite familiar with in my line of work. After some thought, I embraced the title and responded affirmatively, which led to excellent service throughout my visit. I observed the kitchen staff going through the same steps I perform daily: coating the fish in flour, dipping it in batter while letting the excess drip off, and placing it skillfully into the fryer to maximize the number of fish being cooked. The chef was impressive, working quickly with his hands while wearing gloves—something I’m not brave enough to try! The timing of the chips frying alongside was spot on. They served the fish and chips on trays lined with traditional newspaper, a nice homage to British culture that shows they understand their roots. Now, let’s talk about the mushy peas, which turned out to be my favorite part. They added a twist to the classic recipe by incorporating a minty aioli flavor, elevating the dish to a finer dining experience. However, I found the tartar sauce to be a bit too creamy for my taste. I would have preferred more lemon and a bit more texture from the chunks. The fish itself was outstanding—properly drained, making it less greasy, and topped with just the right amount of salt. It captured all the essential flavors you’d hope for. On the other hand, the chips could have used a bit more seasoning. While they were crispy and cooked well, they were only seasoned with salt. My boss often says, “never too much vinegar,” which I fully agree with. I wish they had tossed the chips in vinegar to bring out that signature flavor. Although there were jars of vinegar available for self-service, I have two concerns with this setup: 1. Tossing them provides an even coating that enhances the taste, and 2. For newcomers to fish and chips, how would they know that the chips should be drenched in vinegar? In conclusion, this is my first Google review. I'm not sure if I have a future as a food critic, but for fish and chips, I'm more than willing to share my thoughts."
