Saturday, 10/19/2024 - We tried Fjord Oyster Bank.l rrestaurant. We were hungry and saw this place. Address is 24341 US-101, Hoodsport, WA 98548. Parking was a little hard for us to find. But! On the other side of the building the stores there were closed. So we parked there and walked over. It was a short walk over a beautiful, little creek. Upon arrival....
Pros 1) cute little restaurant. There's seating inside. Inside was like 180 to 200sq ft (where you sit and eat area). Estimate. 2) there was outdoor seating too. It was like 200sq ft. Just an estimate. There were fireplaces to keep you warm and a nice view. The trees are changing colors this time of year, so it was beautiful (even tho it was raining). 3) we checked inside the restaurant to get seated. The two ladies that helped us so very nice and smiling. We put ourselves on the guest list. We didn't even have to wait. Got seated right away. 4) restaurant inside and outside looked clean and tidy. The table outside had real big and pretty flowers in their vases. 5) our server was a very nice gentleman. He took our orders down without having to write it down. We got water. Water tasted great. No funky taste. 6) The waitress checked on us to make sure we had water to drink. We had a few server checked on us to make sure everything was ok. Great customer service!!! 7) we ordered the Sautee Beef Strip, Clam Chowder, and Asian Crab Cakes. All came beautifully presented. 8) These dishes are fusion flavors. Beef Strip dish (had celery and shredded carrots) was very good. A little on the too salty side, but still good. Came with a little bowl of steam white rice. The rice helped balanced the saltiness. 9) Asian Crab Cake had pork in it. We should have read what's in it. We were expecting just Crab cake. But when we bit into it, we thought it was a little different. Read what was in it and it's pork and crab. It was still good. But we weren't used to the pork in it. The salad that came with it was great! 10) bread and butter was good. Clam chowder was different. More herb-y and very potatoe-y tasting. Not your traditional clam chowder. It was still very good. But we were looking for some traditional clam chowder. We did eat the whole bowl. It was still good, like I said. 11) they serve ice cream if you have room for dessert. 12) one bathroom for both male or female. Very clean.
Cons 1) as mentioned above, the Beef Strip dish was on the too salty side. But rice helped balanced the saltiness. 2) we weren't expecting pork in the Crab cake. We should have read the description.
Conclusion This restaurant is very cute. There's a creek right next to it and the view is lovely. This time of year, the leaves are changing colors, so it's a beautiful scene outside. Restaurant looked clean. Water tasted good. Foods good. Service great! Bathroom clean. Parking was a little hard for a big truck. We had a trailer. But, if you ever pass by this restaurant, check them out!
