Reviews C'est Si Bon

When visiting the Olympic Peninsula in WA make sure to visit this little gem. The French couple who own and operate it are great hosts. The food is impeccable French fare. The decor must be seen to be believed. The wine list has offerings from Washington, California and, of course, France. You can easily find an affordable bottle. But you can also splurge on one of their more rare vintages.

My boyfriend and I went for our anniversary and we didn't know what to expect. We got there and was seated right away. The owner was polite and very helpful. My boyfriend got the lamb and he raved about how wonderful it was. I ordered duck. The flavor combination was incredible. For dessert we had cheesecake and it was to die for. Overall it was a excellent dinner and a memorable night.

Hurricane ridge then dinner here with friends made for a memorable day. I'd definitely do it again for a special occasion. Dinner took 3 hours, we never felt rushed and a group of us had an excellent conversation. The automphere was very pleasant. 2 dinners, 1 bowl of soup, no wine, 2 desserts, approaching $150 with the tip. The French onion soup was great. The sauces were inspiring . The scalloped potatoes excellent. My souffle had several crunchy egg shells in it, but was otherwise very good. The desserts were nothing to write home about. All in all, the food was really good. There is probably better French food to seek out and the service was just 'ok', thus the 4 stars. Still, I'd do hurricane ridge plus this restaurant with friends again for a lovely day. Side note: My kid says my cooking is better and gives it 2 stars. It's more of a grown up place, but they did make the kids feel welcome.

Such a wonderful restaurant! With TRULY authentic French food! Knowing Norbert and Michelle (the owners) are there every night to ensure that you receive a cultural masterpiece for dinner is the norm. Having the opportunity to sit with Norbert and Michelle in the lounge for a nightcap and jovial conversation after dinner made me realize......this place is very unique with great spirit! ONE OF A KIND.

All I can say is FABULOUS!! The bread amazing (always love a good crisp baguette) fresh butter salad had the most delicious sale dressing (would love to know the recipe)the lamb- cooked to perfection! Owner came out to greet me, service top notch! I was by myself & dressed in shorts & tank top. Will be back again, just bit more dressed & not looking so ragged!!

C'est Si Bon afforded me one of the most enjoyable dining experiences of my life, not "for Port Angeles" or "a late night without reservations" but anytime and anywhere under any circumstances. Our meals were prepared with meticulous care. The first course of the French onion soup was incredible. The off-menu special of crab-stuffed halibut was cooked to delicate, flaky perfection. The shrimp in whiskey sauce hit that perfect dividing line for shrimp: fully done, but not overdone. Even the side salad was a standout, with a soy sauce vinaigrette that nicely accented the two slices of bell pepper that were more garnish than ingredient. The service provided by Andy was attentive, but not smothering. We got to meet both the owners. They were really gracious (and complimentary) of the wine we'd brought for a special occasion. The decor was a little overwhelming at first, but when you realize the owners' backstory and the time period when they opened the restaurant, it all makes a perfect kind of theatrical sense and, if you get the full tour and see the way they've woven their aesthetic into the extensive banquet spaces, you have to respect their vision for their restaurant. It's the kind of place you have to take for what it is, and if you do, it rewards you for it in a big way.

Have eaten here for years - never had less than an excellent meal. Michelle is magic in the kitchen and Norbert ( Nor-bear) is a gracious host and very knowledgeable about his available wines to pair with your meal. Don't be afraid to ask his guidance!!
