We perform checks on reviews.
Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

They do take reservations and probably advisable during busy summer months.

Steak isn't a prominent part of the menu but it has been on the menu in the past.

Ah well...now I can answer my own question, and hope it helps someone else.
We went to the Fountain on 5/6/17, and while the food was very good, there was absolutely nothing gluten-free. The server said they used to have g.f. bread but didn't sell enough, so they discontinued it. Seems strange for a health-conscience town like Port Townsend, not to mention all the folks diagnosed with celiac or gluten intolerance, but whatever. We'll keep looking.

Wondering what day of the week you ate at Fountain Cafe....the last time we went was on a Monday or Tuesday (our days off) and it was horrible, the whole experience, but that was last year. Even the waitress said the food wasn't what it should be like. We've been there twice before that and it was wonderful.Perhaps there is someone else cooking on Mon and Tues which made the experience what it was. Our anniversary is coming up and we are trying to decide if we should give Fountain a try again or go to Alchemy Bistro. Any other suggestions? Thank you!

We ate at The Fountain on a Thursday evening at 7:00 p.m. and both the food and service were outstanding.

Are you serving easter Brunch? Are you within walking distance of a public dock (one mile) where we can moor our 24'boat?
Thanks, Suzanne

Hi there,
I am just a customer of the Fountain but I asked them for you and the owner said no. I would recommend a restaurant in the uptown area (which is easy walking distance from the Pt. Hudson Marina). It is called Sweet Laurette's...be sure to get reservations!

I lived there from 1982 to 1990. Josie Hauser was my employer at the hair studio. We would came in to have your Greek pasta. Is there anyway I could get the recipe? I know that's probably impossible. I now live in Billings Montana and miss that Greek Pasta so much. Thank you Julie Hill-Zormeir

I would agree with the previous poster that you should contact the restaurant. I will say that I have chatted with the owner of the Fountain, a former employee/waiter, and when he bought the restaurant, he purchased the recipes. Logic tells me that he would not give those away.
