"I made reservations via phone last week for today, Valentines Day, for myself, my husband, and 2 kids. I had been really excited they weren’t booked, as we had seen the restaurant while visiting my husband during his Union training and were planing to visit him again today, and wanted somewhere nice to spend together as a family. My kids and I arrived at reserved time, got our waters, and waited maybe about 5-10 for my husband to arrive. About 2 mins after my husband sat down, a server came over with menus, placed them down and before we really even had a chance to look said “We have a fixed menu today, it’s $150 for 2 people. So $150 for you and him and $150 for your kids and we are not taking orders from our regular menu” after seeing the shock on my face and me babbling “oh uh” she said she’d leave us to think about it for a few mins. This was complete news to me. I was never notified while making the reservation that their regular menu would not be available and that the only option would be a fixed menu for $150. Had it been just my husband and I? Sure. But spending $150 on our 6 and 11 year old out of the blue? Totaling $300 before tip? No. I went up to explain we couldn’t do that and I had never been notified of that. She responded with a “sorry, we did advertise it..” etc etc. We don’t live there. We were visiting. Nowhere on their website or on google menus does it advertise this information, which is where it should’ve been advertised for people not from the area. She then goes to recommend the pizza place next door - “they have a large space there” and a burger joint up the road… On Valentine’s Day…because we now have no reservations on the busiest day of the year for my family due to the lack of communication of whoever took my reservation. This was an extremely uncomfortable AND disappointing experience to have with my family today."

"I do fish and chips everywhere. This was 3pc w extra tarter. Mm-mm good smell, excellent tarter and the shoestring fries were perfect. The panco Batter was crispy and the fish was thin cut yet firm enough to dip, in a word: EXCELLENT. The Cole slaw or cold slaw was spectacularly delicious with an unusual hint of sesame, a real treat. Prices were commensurate with the high quality."

"Do not recommend due to lack of Service. Had a great dinner there with my grandma; so I took my family and the waitress took our order (begrudgingly) after waiting for 15 minutes, which was fine, she asked if we wanted food, yes of course, we only got one drink and a hot chocolate, so we did want to have brunch, and she forgot half way through taking the order, had us repeat it and never entered it in, (needs to write things down). There were two other tables who had come in 10-15 Minutes after us who she served and delivered food and drinks to right away. We couldn’t even get a straw for our drink. We brought in our kids and thankfully they were well behaved as this was a big waste of time. Disappointed as everyone’s food looked great. Off to find somewhere else for brunch at 11am! We’re locals and won’t be back."

"Dropped by on a Monday evening for a quick bite. They were slammed with several parties, but still took wonderful care of me at the bar. The bartender made an excellent wine suggestion that went wonderfully with the clams and hummus plate I ordered. I’ll be back! This would be a great spot for a date night or dinner out with the girls. I saw a cheese plate go out that will definitely be on my next order. Great spot! Great staff! Great food!"

"Our party decided on a spontaneous sail from Seattle to Kingston. After having some awesome crepes across the street we decided to checkout d'Vine for some wine. What a fabulous decision that was! Micki asked us a few questions then recommended 3 bottles, all of which were outstanding. She also fixed us up with a delicious charcuterie composed of various cheeses, meats, and more. She knows her wines and was as friendly as she was knowledgeable. Highly recommended. Thank you, Micki!"
