Restaurants near Olympic National Park

We had a fabulous gal's lunch on Friday at Boom and Batten. We were seated at table #34 on the upper level. Our server was amazing! Our water glasses were filled before the glasses were empty, and the same applied for our coffee cups. Although the food was a little pricey every bite was delicious! The restaurant was quite busy but we were able to hear each other talk . I will definitely be returning!

The prime rib stuffed Yorkshire pudding seasonal appetizer was wonderful! We shared our usual bacon-wrapped fillet, and it was perfectly cooked and deliciousious as always. We were in a bit of a rush, and our waiter, Chan, graciously accommodated our needs. (Next time I’ll do a better job scheduling.) You can’t go wrong g at The Keg!

The ambience and decorations for Christmas were lovely. Our waiter who we have had before and has worked there for three years was excellent.

Either the meat was a little tough or the knives need to be upgraded. The prime rib was a little tough and the auju was bland.

The food and service were excellent. The only complaint I have is that the lights were WAY too bright. When one has an evening meal in a lovely setting - it shouldn't be necessary to wear a ball cap so the lights don't glare in your eyes. Besides the regular hanging lights which were pretty bright - there were can-lights in the ceiling with very strong bulbs in them. This really ruined the ambience. Made it feel more like we were dining in a cafeteria instead of a steakhouse. All - in all, that is the ONLY thing that made this meal deviate from being absolutely perfect. The chef even made my salmon well done - as I requested. (I know they don't normally appreciate cooking something differently than what is considered proper.) But, I REALLY appreciated that. The calamari were excellent - fresh and tender. My 'extra dirty' martini was even perfect. This is our go-to place for bringing out of town guests because we know the food and location make it a very special place to eat.
