Madrona Bar & Grill

$$$

Situated on the Eastsound waterfront, this pub-style eatery serves classic Northwest cuisine like pan-fried local oysters, Dungeness crab cakes, Angus beef burgers, and grilled wild sockeye salmon. But what really stands out here is the atmosphere. A vaulted ceiling with exposed wooden beams gives the little space some serious personality, a small patio is ideal during warm summer nights, and a rotating cast of microbrews on tap complement the spectacular water views.
