Bainbridge Bistro — Restaurant in Bainbridge Island

Hands down one of the best restaurants on Bainbridge Island! My husband and I had such a great experience here and if you’ve been to Spain, this place is just as good, (dare I say) even better than some of the places we went to in Santander and Madrid. I believe the owner of the restaurant was our waitress and she was so nice and helpful in guiding us on the menu. She made a phenomenal recommendation on a bottle of wine.

Outside of Spain, I've found very few places that beautifully celebrate that tradition and quality. Bainbridge Tapas does it in spades! Cozy, casual yet eloquent, friendly atmosphere and service, great background music (Flamenco, Gipsy-Jazz, Gipsy Kings). This time I had "Pincho De Carne" - perfectly cooked juicy steak (2 skewers) in a heavenly sauce, accompanied by a generous glass of fine Spanish vino tinto (red wine). Not just a perfect meal, Bainbridge Tapas is a magical journey, a brief retreat to recharge one's hope for this life, this...
