Food scene

My guests rave about this place! Many of them return for more than one meal. Why? Because it's consistent with its offerings (menu changes daily, but the stables can be counted on) quality of food (sourced from the highest quality farms) and despite being a "bar & butcher shop" -- with the best meats sourced right on island, Ruby Brink also caters to vegans! "So very, Vashon," it is! :) They have a "unique" menu of offerings from soups, salads, and entrees... from their signature dish: "Meat & Noodles" or "Mushroom & Noodles" to their 1/2 Smoked Chicken Plate --which is large enough to share, and is the best chicken ever!! Additionally, their "market" which has butchered beef and pork offerings -- the best bacon! -- also includes several fridges with packaged food to take home ready-to-eat, or heat up! And they make the BEST unique cocktails!! Make a LEFT from my driveway on Beall... LEFT onto Bank road, and park anywhere at the 4-way stop. Inside the NE corner shop, seeped with history! https://www.therubybrink.com for their latest hours. Check the website for their Menu -- changes daily. NOTE: They have a "butcher shop" with local cut meats to purchase. They are known for their famous Bar + Kitchen -- and outdoor courtyard seating, weather permitted. "To Go" options always available. (They do not take reservations.) https://www.therubybrink.com/menu **Menu changes daily**

So, you're stuck in a longgg ferry line Friday late afternoon at the Fauntleroy dock and you realize you won't get to the island before all the restaurants close and you're hungry NOW! So, go ahead and order online wildwoodwestseattle.com and one of you run up the hill (for a little exercise & adrenaline rush!) and pick up some delish 'to go" food, a bottle of wine and some delish snacks and sweets so you'll be all ready to settle in at MiKo's! They have gourmet, GF, organic, every day stables -- IN ADDITION to hot soup, salads, sandwiches, and hot food (burgers, grilled cheese). Friendly, a great little neighborhood market and eatery (outside patio). Easy "park and pick up" right outside. Orders-to-Go: 206 257 1196 Tell them, MiKo's on Vashon sent you!

**OUTDOORS ON THE COURTYARD OR ON THE LAWN WITH UMBRELLAS & TABLES. Vashon Brewing Community Pub has re-opened!! Delicious pub fare -- mix of pub classics to Caribbean inspired options: from ribs and pot pies to vegetarian and some vegan salads. (Their ribs are melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness! And my recent guests raved about the Pot Pie -- that was big enough to share!) (Food can also be brought in, allowing their guests even more options to enjoy with their hand-crafted micro-brews!) **Gluten-free (or almost free!) hand-crafted beers! They use locally sourced barley, seasonal fruits, and other ingredients in their brews. (They use 100% malted barley, adding a fermentation enzyme to reduce the gluten to less than 10 ppm. This makes our beer accessible to gluten intolerant customers without changing any of the traditional flavors or ingredients in the beer.)

Expect Ferry delays from Fauntleroy (Seattle) and Tacoma!

Still expect ferry delays most afternoons after 3 pm, and evenings from Fauntleroy, West Seattle-- especially Friday evenings. Tacoma is *usually* more reliable and consistent, but due to crew shortages *across* the WSF system, be prepared for delays or cancelled sailings! Check the ferry cams for updates. Download FerryFriend app (iPhone & Android supported) . Pack a large suitcase of patience :) https://www.wsdot.wa.gov/ferries/vesselwatch/CameraDetail.aspx#term9
