Silverwater Cafe - Port Townsend

We dined on NYE 2023. The entrees were outstanding. Mushroom Risotto, Aglio e Olio and Gorgonzola Penne. Had 2 desserts for the 3 of us. The Ginger Bread was amazing. The service was great and we will be back. We have been coming to Port Townsend for 18+ years and are sorry we have not found this gem till now.

We came for an early dinner at 4PM, and it was fabulous. We started with steamed clams in a pesto sauce and mushroom on toasted bread. Both excellent. I had the duck with new potatoes, and my girlfriend had a very nice large salad for dinner. Great service, excellent food, we will be back. Well worth the drive up from Bainbridge Island.

After reading the reviews on Yelp, we really wanted to eat here. As soon as they opened at 2pm on Oct 4, 2023 we requested a table for two at 5:30. We arrived on time and we're warmly greeted and asked if we had reservations. YES. We reviewed the menu and made our choices. We ordered the duck and the beef stroganoff pasta along with a dinner salad. There is only one lady that works the entire room. She answers the phone, makes a reservations, takes the orders, serves and clears the tables. There are only nine tables, but she is amazing! We loved the salad. My husband has a mixed review on the beef stroganoff. The flavor was delicious but meat was very lean and a little chewy. My duck was amazingly delicious. It's one of the top five meals I've ever had! I shared it with my husband and he agreed! It was a wonderful experience and we look forward to returning.

Definitely busy and need reservations. Super small quaint place with great ambiance! Wide selection of choices and it can be a hard decision if you aren't from the area and don't have a chance to come back and try something again. Brie and garlic appy was very good but Brie could be melted more. The mushroom bruschetta was absolutely fantastic and done to perfection. Their baguette that is served alongside both of the above appy's is sooo good too. I had the puttanesca which was pretty good. The sauce was done very well but the dish was very sauce heavy. It would have been nice if the ingredients shone through more and the sauce came in equally or second in line. The rack of lamb was cooked perfectly and was a good size with lots of meat, just not sure we were 100% a fan of the sauce but that's on us. Execution on the plates is well done and ingredients are of great quality. A good experience overall and nice place to have a special occasion dinner as long as it's not a large group of you.

After a day of cycling around Port Townsend we ended our day at The Fountain Cafe, which was a delicious ending. While they only serve beer and wine, we settled on a sparkling wine to toast the days adventures. We started with the special Mushroom Bruschetta, which was nicely plated and yummy. We also ordered the Roasted Garlic and Melted Brie, which was exactly as you'd expect. If Cioppino is on the menu, I always order it and this version was worthy. The rest of our table ordered the daily specials, which I heard were always on point. We ended the meal with the Key Lime Pie and Gingerbread, which were both finished even though they were quite generous in size. Please note, the Gingerbread is a house secret and not always actually on the menu, but if you ask, they may surprise you with it. I highly recommend Fountain Cafe, but I do wish they had a full bar.
