Joe's - Bainbridge Island

Ok. First I have say the place itself has a wonderful atmosphere. Fireplace, decor... very nice.The sad thing is it couldn't make up for the poor service and one of the worst meals we have had in a long time. Very disappointing!!! I can't remember a meal at a restaurant that was more tasteless. cold, and nearly inedible.Go for a drink and enjoy the atmosphere but do yourself and your pocketbook a favor and skip the food.

Food was excellent, cocktails were great, service was not. There were two 4-top tables near the only 2 umbrellas on their patio. We weren 't allowed to sit there since we were just a party of 2. The patio was dead, they could have easily separated the tables so we could sit there. Instead we roasted in the sun while both 4-top, shaded tables sat empty the entire time.The waitress was sweet but quite clueless. She couldn 't answer most questions and forgot the details of my order. I asked for no pasta and extra broccoli I instead, noting I was trying to keep it healthier. She laughed with me. When I commented on the massive pile of pasta on my plate, she replied, "oh, you didn 't want pasta? "I 'll say it again, the food was excellent and the only reason I gave this place 4 stars

We have loved this local spot for years for its quality food, friendly and attentive staff and atmosphere and because it was one of the few restaurants on the island with any view of the water. Unfortunately, they are now allowing the shrubbery to obscure the view and the arrangement of tables is weird and does not capitalize on the view. Also, the flimsy, woven chairs are extremely uncomfortable. Sadly, we probably just won’t go there anymore.

It’s very unfortunate that they removed the family size pastas from their menu. This brings the cost of dinner for two up dramatically.

Family celebration dinner. My dish, Fettuccine Alfredo, was the best I'd had in a long time. Beautiful view of the water outside.
