We tried to get in on Tuesday Tapas night but were going to have to wait a couple of hours. Instead, we went back for lunch the next day. Luckily we went at 11:30 a.m., because it was packed by noon. Be sure to make reservations! There are regular items on the menu, in addition to seasonal selections and daily... more

There will always be someone who isn't happy; no matter how good the food or service is. That is what I have to think about the few reviewers who gave such low marks to this remarkable restaurant. The food was incredible, as was the staff. I mentioned the Alder Wood Bistro at my local grocery store, (in Seattle) and ended... more

I am fortunate to live an hour away from Alder Wood Bistro. I keep bringing my guests, neighbors and friends here. If this were the prototype for a new wave of restaurants in America and Canada, then we would all be a happier and less warlike people. Not to mention a lot healthier people.

The menu is imaginative and changes with the seasons. I tend to graze off the "tonight's special" appetizer menu so I can enjoy 2 or 3 different small... more

I'd like to dare to disagree with 'APrettyGoodCook' who said the meatloaf at The Alder Wood Bistro was terrible. I had the meatloaf too and had quite the opposite experience. I found it very tasty. I also recently had the Steak Frite there and even the waitress noticed my complete contentment with it. It came with gourmet fries and Aioli... more

Three of us had excellent food for lunch, and the food was all locally-sourced. We will return for dinner sometime when we're in Sequim again. more
