From the reviews
This restaurant is in a unique location in Port Ludlow. If you are dining outside on the deck, you look out to the marina and boats and Olympic mountains in the background. I’ve eaten there twice now, the food quality has been very good and the service exceptional. I live in Poulsbo and the drive was only 30 minutes.
This place does it all, as far as great location, friendly service, and delicious food. And it's a great excuse to go to charming Port Ludlow, by boat or by car. The resort has lots to do, too, in addition to the great food at this restaurant. It's all a bit pricey but completely worth it.
We had the corn beef and hash. Very good. Done to perfection. Bloody Mary was tasty and my view was so beautiful
Getting married at The Fireside Restaurant
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
