Views of the sound and the smell of salt water make this a great place for a beer and steamed clams or a family celebration featuring the best of Northwest seafood. Make a reservation on weekends and on sunny days in the summer. Deck! (not to be confused with Ray's Boathouse which is just downstairs). GF friendly but never hurts to ask lots of questions.

Another awesome burger place - Uneeda is our favorite for creative use of surprising local ingredients, and you'll just have to believe us (sorry no example!) When it is busy it can be hard to find a table and hope that someday they will expand their seating area. But worth it if you can squeeze yourselves in.

A creative head chef leads the charge at Blue C and staff are friendly and helpful. The sushi delivery train is a bonus above and beyond just the regular sushi conveyor belt. One of several good restaurant options at U Village. GF Friendly but ask questions if you have a complicated order.
