Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Skagit Valley / La Conner

Anthony's Homeport, Everett, has been our "go-to" restaurant for years. The ambiance, the friendliest people and great food. Having a conversation is extremely easy. You do not have to be loud for your voice to be heard. The fact that there is a great view North and West adds to the relaxed atmosphere. Oh yes: parking is never an issue. This is a plus, plus! Thank you very much!! Tim Murphy

Superb, as usual. The carrot sformato was an unusual find and quite delicious. The addition of olives to the blood orange and fennel salad hit just the right acid note, Mama’s meatballs were pure beef with a strong dash of anise seed, and the accompanying marinara had been simmering for ages to pick up that deep complexity of flavors and great balance between sweet and slightly acid.

Really enjoyed the food and ambience at Spinasse. There were good options on the menu for a vegetarian family. Our waiter, Heather was awesome and very knowledgeable about vegetarian choices and helped make the right choices. A little bit disappointed that 2 desserts on the menu contain pork gelatin, but there were 3 other desserts to choose from. Again, Heather was awesome in steering us in the right direction. Overall a great experience for a special family dinner!

What a lovely dinner. We arrived very early before our reservation time and were accommodated very quickly. The restaurant was decked out in Christmas splendor and was warm and inviting! The food was fabulous (can you say fig pizza?) and the service was excellent and top notch. I am very impressed with the dedication of all the employees at the restaurant tonight given it was a holiday evening. (12/24) Thank you Anthony’s!

This was my third time dining at Sushi Kashiba and I will be back. Yes, it is expensive, but the food, presentation, and service are amazing. Absolutely the best dining experiences I've ever had. The servers are so professional and very attentive. They are very passionate about their work, the food they serve, and the artistry of the chefs.
