All of the food here is excellent, and we highly recommend trying their house made bone broth soup. It's especially good to warm up with after being out in the cold.

There are a lot of deer and other wildlife on Vashon Island, so keep an eye out when driving. Be extra careful in the Spring and Summer months of the baby fawns since they are more likely to wander into the roads.
