Bainbridge Bistro — Restaurant in Bainbridge Island

Reimagined by assimilating the best of our once-beloved Bainbridge Tapas with Isola to create a new, contemporary space with delicious dishes from both of those restaurants. And now!

I thought I’d miss Bainbridge Tapas but it has been enhanced by a more contemporary feel, in a better space, offering a wider selection of delicious dishes. Whew! Go!...
