Description

Set in a quaint old hotel with exposed brick, high ceilings and soft blues, this South Sound gem is celebrated for elevated steaks, moist crusted fish, vibrant salads with house dressings and a standout cheesecake. Service and reservation handling are inconsistent—experiences range from warm, attentive servers and private dining to long waits, rushed courses, and even overbooking or closed-on-arrival incidents; some diners reported menu shortages and allergy miscommunication. Ideal for date nights and special occasions, but book early and confirm reservations.

Phenomenal, I had dinner and drinks in Curious, their bar. The bartender was sooooo friendly and helpful. I can't wait for the next time I am in the area (90 mile drive), to have dinner in the main restaurant. Go here you won't regret it!

Whats most terrible about my review is I normally love this place. I tell everyone to go here. I convinced my boss to have our Christmas work party here because I 've never had a bad experience. I called a week or more in advance and booked the Yacht room for 8 people at 6:30. We get there and they gave our table to someone else and sat our group in the bar. Completely felt unwanted and uncared for. The waitress came and took our drink and appetizer orders but didn 't come back for an hour. She then took our dinner order and then returned 30 min later saying we needed to reorder our food because they where out of the steak. They didn 't even bring our salad out till after 8pm. We got there at 6:30. Almost 2 hours to just get a salad. When I made my order I told the waitress my allergy and if what I was wanting had any of that on it. She told me no. When our food came out I took 1 bite and had an allergic reaction and had to leave. I had left my epi-pen in my vehicle. My boss went to talk to them about what happened and there was no apology. All they said was well your meal was going to be comped anyway because we lost our liquor license seriously? Not even an apology? We didn 't go there thinking the food was going to be free, we went to have a good time. And they didn 't care at all
