Best Restaurants for Quiet Conversation in Bainbridge Island

Cute and cozy spot, great for a casual dinner. Food was awesome, service friendly. (Get the tatchos! Best ever.) Highly recommend!

I wanted a quality high-end dining experience and I got it. Nell’s has been around for a very long time. The restaurant is intimate without being cramped. Conversation is easy because it’s not noisy. We had quality service and the food is very good. I gave Nell’s 4 stars for value but that might be more indicative of Seattle in general than Nell’s. Compared to dining most anywhere in the world, Seattle is expensive and Nell’s seemed pricey for the portions served. But overall it’s a satisfying experience.

Great food, nice staff, only two small complaints would be that we were seated in a noisy area when other spots were available & I’d also say that the portion size for the avocado smoked salmon toast was a little smaller than what I’d expect for the price.

Wonderful spot for a rainy evening cocktail and bite. Superb staff relaxed w time to tell us of their wonderful offerings.

We dined pre-theatre and our server was careful to ensure we dined in time to get to the performance. He was competent, considerate and attentive without being over solicitous, making for an enjoyable evening of conversation and fine, fine food! Highly recommend this restaurant for a great meal in an ambiance in which you can actually have a conversation.
