    Food was excellent as always, however, the Thurston Wolfe GSM [Grenache Syrah Malbec? not the Mouvedre used in southern France) that was recommended by the bar as a substitute for the Tempranillo did not fly well with the meat dishes. The Corsican vermentinu was excellent with the fish dishes - crisp, dry. The dessert carrot cake is what all carrot cakes dream to be, the gingerbread ice cream is spicy, and the chocolate garnache is for chocaholics!

    Really, really special experience! We have dined (and stayed) here many times, but tonight’s Vivaldi Experience was truly special. The meal was stunning and so thoughtfully curated. The live music from the string quartet was magical. The service (as always) was warm and welcoming. Thank you so much!

    We had a fantastic dinner! The Sable fish was outstanding as was the mushroom ravioli! Also don’t miss the bread and butter. We ended the evening by sharing a piece of the best carrot cake ever! Oh and the service was awesome as well! Enjoy!

    We have always enjoyed having a meal at Captain Whidbey. There have many updates to the dining room that are nice. The menu is not as good as it used to be though unfortunately.
