This is a very special place to eat and should not be missed on a visit to Sequim. The quality of the food is wonderful and the preparation and service were great.

So good and inventive. Wanted four different meal options :) Great dessert and fabulous wine list. Lots of local and unique ingredients in every course. I am not a big salad/soup person but couldn't not get every course because the menu was so good.

What a great find and a very pleasant surprise. The food here is really great. Very fresh and tasty. I was so surprised to find this little gem in Sequim. The flat bread was great, very tasty, I could have eaten just flat bread and a salad. I had a steak which was cooked perfectly. My husband had mushroom risotto... More

Make certain you have a reservation---they stay packed and for good reasons. The service is good (a little slow but well-informed), the menu is great, as is the wine list and the food is excellent. Be certain to save room for dessert because they are special. This is a "must-do" if you are in the area.

Finally Sequim has an authentic fine dining establishment, or is it that I just found it? Last week my husband and I made a reservation at the Alder Wood Bistro to celebrate our 25th anniversary. We wanted something special and found it here. The only negative is the price puts this wonderful food out of our range for any but... More

We had heard this was the nicest place in Sequim and luckily we snagged a reservation as we pulled into town. There arent too many tables so you want to make a reservation. We had the fresh fish of the day which was a plank cooked halibut. I had never experienced the Pacific Northwest favorite. The asparagus served with it... More

The Bistro has brought such quality to the Sequim dining scene. They feature local ingredients, cooked with elegance and innovation. Be sure to try the local pork which comes from the heritage breed Tamworth pigs at Elwha Farm. Everything about this meat is good for you and unbelievably delicious.

We found this little gem several years ago, and we return here every time we come to Sequim. I have numerous food allergies and sensitivities, so we don't eat out much anymore. We came to the peninsula for my birthday celebration and showed up at the restaurant at 6:00 on a Tuesday night, thinking we wouldn't need a reservation. We... More

Ate here after reading other Trip Advisor reviews. It is the best in Sequim! How lucky locals are to have this place! Service great. A busy night, (Wed) but the young women kept things flowing. We shared 3 appetizers plus the meatloaf. Flatbread, oysters, beet salad. The salad was the best of the 3, just delicious. Do order it! Meatloaf... More
