Absolutely amazing! It was my first time on Vashon Island, and my date and I were looking for a place to eat. The Brink had excellent cocktails, beautifully selected vegetables, and the juiciest smoked meat imaginable. The staff was incredibly friendly too! If I lived closer, this would be my go-to spot without a doubt. As it is, I now have a great reason to visit Vashon more often! View all feedback.
What Yuan Liu dislikes about The Ruby Brink:
The food was just average, but the service was quite good. Unfortunately, the restaurant isn't very kid-friendly, as there was only one dining table available for families with children. The greens in the salad tasted bitter and were tough to chew, and the pickles only made it worse. The chicken and noodle soup was quite bland, and the fresh string beans were raw.

This restaurant is amazing. The service is exceptionally friendly, and the food is outstanding. I dined here almost every day during my visit! The service was excellent, and I ordered takeout for dinner. I would say the price per person is around $50 to $100. Overall, I give the food, service, and atmosphere a perfect 5 out of 5.
The food was just average, but the service was quite good. Unfortunately, the restaurant isn't very kid-friendly, as there was only one dining table available for families with children. The greens in the salad tasted bitter and were tough to chew, and the pickles only made it worse. The chicken and noodle soup was quite bland, and the fresh string beans were raw. While there are many restaurants that use fresh ingredients and also taste great, this one does not fit that bill. However, I did enjoy the biscuit with butter and jam—it was my favorite part of the meal. Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
I had a wonderful dining experience featuring delicious potatoes, flavorful bone broth, a perfectly cooked pork chop, a refreshing salad, and fresh bread. The service was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was modern and trendy, making it a great place to enjoy a meal. I dined in for dinner, and the price per person was between $30 and $50. Overall, I would rate the food, service, and atmosphere all a perfect 5. I highly recommend the Medium Salad!

I loved it so much that I created a Yelp account just to give them a 5-star review! This place is perfect for meat lovers, and they have fantastic cocktails too. The ambiance is warm and cozy, and I appreciated being able to grab some items from the butcher counter on my way out. The service was very friendly as well. Overall, my husband and I had a fantastic experience here and we will definitely return whenever we're on the island.

Ruby Brink has black out curtains and a wonderfully designed space that focuses heavily on atmosphere. When you eat at the Ruby Brink, not only is it amazing in food quality due to local sources, the experience fills your heart as well as your belly.
We had a great night! Delicious experience.
Perfect place for date night and hands down best restaurant on Vashon. Friendly staff, fun atmosphere, outdoor space, quality of fresh ingredients and amazing chefs. Start with a cup of bone broth and finish with the olive oil cake. I think at least once a week a menu that often offers new surprises based on ingredients. Burger nights are a treat! Coffee is amazing! 5 stars and a ferry ride worth when you live in the city.
Holy smokes. Great service, great cocktails, and the smoked squash veggie burger was SO GOOD. Unbelievably good. (I ordered one to-go for tomorrow. That good. This is going to be a mandatory stop every time I'm on Vashon!
We had some dinner and drinks here the other night and WOW! The Prince Highway and Red Wines were AMAZING. I LOVED the food too. We had the: Pickled Egg, Bowl of Chili, Flatbread Sausage, and Medium Salad. It was so so good. THAT HOT DOG. THOSE EGGS. I wish I could give more than five stars. The service and ambiance was excellent. I cannot wait to come back.
