Cafe Nola Description:
Eclectic, high-quality bistro fare is offered at this charming spot on Bainbridge Island. Just a few blocks from the ferry landing, Cafe Nola is a good destination for a day trip, and during the summer, a sunset dinner. The casual setting is dressed up with candlelight and linen tablecloths. Chef-owner Kevin Warren incorporates seasonal ingredients into his imaginative menu, which features dishes such as pretzel-crusted crab cakes, bacon-wrapped salmon with parsley potato, gumbo, and ginger chicken with basmati rice and rosemary honey carrots. With all the wines that could be sourced in Washington, we would expect the list to include more local offerings.

Review :
We were looking for a local restaurant to try and came upon Cafe Nola. We read the reviews and thought we had come up upon a hidden treasure. How wrong we were. The brunch menu had nice selections. I had the spaghetti carbonara and my partner had the Dungeness crab melt. We also ordered the bloody mary. The drinks were ok. Since we had already placed our order we decided to stick with what we had already chosen. Long story short, the meals were less than exciting. The crab melt was plain and lacking any substantial flavor. The carbonara was runny and had so much pepper in it, it overwhelmed the dish. Trying to salvage some enjoyment from the meal, we ordered dessert. The final straw of a very plain and disappointing meal. The crème brûlée tasted like vanilla pudding. Not creamy and light, just simply pudding with a burnt sugar top.
