Reviews Bramble House

Amazing dining experience here! Visiting Vashon for a wedding and Bramble House came up on several lists so decided to see if we could get a reservation. Lucked out and they had space so we got to go. Everything was delicious, we had a nice Pinot Gris, the raviolo, mixed green salad, truffle garlic bread, patatas bravas, fettuccine bolognese and risotto. We just couldn’t pass up trying several dishes so went all in. Portions are generous and service was outstanding. Highly recommend!

We were planning our first visit to Vashon Island and had done some research on where to go for dinner. Most websites ranked "Bramble House" very high on the list. So this was the only location we knew we must visit while we were on the island. We made reservations a few days in advance. Upon arrival, the cute older house used for the restaurant is easy to find. It is at the end of town and has a sign in the front lawn with bulb lights around it. Parking is found on the side of the building. You walk through a pink front door and are greeted by the staff and a modern contemporary interior. The tables are spaced a good distance apart. There are two options (indoor or outdoor dining). Outdoor dining takes place in a tent located behind the house. For our dinner we chose indoor dining. The menu is limited but don't let that fool you. The items that are offered are high quality with great taste. We ordered: 1. Local Greens Salad, cucumber, snap peas & radish, red wine vinaigrette 2. Crispy Half Chicken, spruce tip marinade, fennel mash, parsley-spring onion salad 3. Dark Chocolate Mousse, salted caramel, candied peanuts The local greens salad was full of vegetables that tasted very fresh. The amount of cucumber, snap peas, and radish was great. The only feedback for this item was that the dressing became a little too strong after a while. This may be fine for some, while others may find the sourness a little overpowering toward the end of the dish. Now, on to easily the best part of the dinner. The crispy chicken dish alone is worth the full 5 stars. The chicken was cooked perfectly, allowing the meat to maintain enough juice and tenderness while also not making mess. The fennel mash was the highlight of this item. Mix some of the chicken stock with the mash and the flavors mix so well together. For dessert, the chocolate mousse was very good. The caramel and candied peanuts compliment the dark chocolate, but be aware, this is a rich dessert. It is awesome, just very rich. Overall the atmosphere is relaxing and the staff was friendly but the combination of flavors and skill used to prepare the main course shows why this restaurant has earned its top status.

The Bramble House is a little gem on Vashon Island. This little restaurant is great with both indoor and outdoor seating seating options, comfortable ambience, wonderful staff, and decent entree options. Parking is limited and you may potentially have to park in the grass (mud if it is precipitating). Staff is friendly, patient, and kind. There was never a time when I felt neglected by the host or the waiter. The prices are a bit on the expensive side so expect to pay a pretty penny when ordering. All staff is still expected to wear face masks to protect and prevent its customers from COVID spread. The food quality is fantastic. Home made and delicious! 4 star review because their menu is limited with only a few options: about two appetizers, five main entrées, and six sides. They do have a plethora or local wines and other drinks being offered. Overall, minus the restricted menu options my girlfriend and I loved this place and will be back next time we are on Vashon Island.

Really really good place. The dishes are all good, though the most flavorful is the duck. Good selection of wines and you cannot go wrong with either of them. The garlic bread is good and the garlic is not overpowering at all. Great option for an appetizer.
