Came here with some girl friends for dessert and a bottle of wine. Â Everyone was very friendly. Â The wine choices were fantastic with great representation of WA and OR wines. Although not to many by the glass options. Â It was great to look out at the pool. Â We had a GREAT raspberry mousse! Â I have been craving it ever since we finished it! Â Would definitely come here again.
Review Source:There are not very many places that I give 5 stars to, but this is one! My wife and I stayed at the Islands Inn and ate at the newly opened Petite Wine Bar on our first night. The worst thing about this place was that it is closed on Sundays and Mondays!
We were in for the evening and tried most things on the menu. We started with the hummus and the salmon pate and they were both excellent. The salmon pate just tipped the scales as the better of the two. Then it was time to try the spicy pork kabobs. Amazing! The chef knows how to turn out a dish or two. Next we tried the Spanakopitas - so light and tasty! The French onion soup, as many have said before, was great - the addition of beef making it extra special. To finish we had the creme brulee - which was infused in coffee - Fantastic! All in all, dishes to die for. Our accompanying wine? The Roza Ridge Syrah - very well priced at $24 a bottle.
The chef came to visit during the meal (as did the owner) and we learnt he had recently come from Anthony's in Anacortes - their loss!
If there's one place to go try on your next visit to Anacortes - go to the Petite Wine Bar. Open Tuesdays to Saturdays, situated inside the Islands Inn (see separate review).
Tried this place out while staying at the Islands Inn and was really pleased. The food is great - best french onion soup I've had, which I attribute to the melt in your mouth chunks of beef; a really nice addition. The menu is small but seems to be well rounded. Same for the wine list. Very well priced. We had the french onion soup, soup of the day (red pepper) and crab cakes and everything was delicious. Great ambiance and since they have just opened all are eager to please - the chef was out chatting to all of the tables.
