Alder Wood Bistro and Wood-Fired Pizza

Friendly, welcoming staff. My friend and I shared the vegetable fritters. It was an amazing melange of flavors and colors. I literally tasted the rainbow in every bite. I followed with the meatloaf. I was really excited about mashed potatoes, but the leafy vegetables were the high point. Everything was amazing. My friend enjoyed a wood fired pizza.

The truffle fries were to die for! Too good. Sicilian pizza was one of the best pizzas we’ve ever had in our lives, even better than the ones in Italy. Cocktails were above average. Salad was also phenomenal. The only thing I didn’t like was the kimchi, didn’t have much flavor to it aside from being pickled.. pretty far off from authentic kimchi.

Wow! My wife and I met a lady in Bainbridge Island that highly recommended this place. We showed up for dinner the day after Valentine's and they were still doing their Valentine's menu. My wife did the special menu and I got a pizza. The pizza was outstanding. My wife loved her 4 course meal. The drinks and dessert were amazing. Everything is made fresh, from scratch. We got a loaf of their sourdough bread as well. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and attentive. We sat outside but the heaters and blankets kept us very warm. We will return!

Stella little place! Stopped here on our way back from a day of hiking. Busy but extra seating with heated propane heaters on a covered patio outside. Our server was super attentive and knew the menu inside and out. Cedar planked salmon is a slam dunk - fresh, and served with crushed up purple potatoes, veggies and a lemon aioli dipping sauce. Sublime! The mushroom Bianca pizza is also great. And the chocolate dessert - delicious. Not too big - but decadent and the raspberry really gives it a pop. The perfect not too heavy finish and good to split! Highly recommend this place.

Great food and wonderful service - the only negative here was making reservations and then having our table given to other folks- it would have been nice to be inside since it was cold but the atmosphere more than made up for it- especially when they kicked on the heater! Will definitely be back next time we're in town!

Fantastic place for dinner. Date night made memorable by delicious food and pleasant atmosphere. The entrées are beautifully balanced, portions just right, greens are sautéed to perfection! Such a good smell every time someone gets served, it makes the mouth water.
Lots of locally sourced products and wines, nice ambiance with some water features and a real grape vine surrounding the garden. Kind service from start to end, pretty reasonable waiting time.
Suggest to book a table a few hours in advance or try and call before heading there, there’s a risk of being booked out! Can’t wait to go back!

The food was amazing and the dining experience was superb! I had pizza and the sourdough crust was baked perfectly and toppings & sauce had a great flavor. My sister had the halibut dish and she said it was delicious! For dessert we shared the lemon shaker pie and it was outstanding!! I highly recommend this restaurant.

Absolutely amazing dining experience. Fresh, clean food with amazing flavors. Compliments to the chef! Would absolutely go back again and again.

I just enjoyed a wonderful Birthday / Valentines dinner with a table of friends here! Birthday girl and I both had the sous-vide huge and super tender pork prime rib with apple/fruit relish with potato/chard sides, incredible flavors made more so with a special WA red wine chosen by the house for the night. Hot Oyster starter for me after mussel amuse. Fabulous dessert! Lot of happy diners around our table. This place always rocks it! Thanks all! I should mention that most items are sourced locally or nearby!

Finally made it to this absolute GEM after 6 months of living in Sequim. Stellar, joyful waitstaff (y’all rock) and the yummiest food we’ve had on the peninsula so far. I was happy dancing with every plate we were served. We loved everything but especially the Thai mussel special. SO GOOD! We’ll be back soon. If you haven’t been, get over there!

The pizza was phenominal and absolutely delicious
It's a small place so reservation recommened so you can easily grap a spot

We rarely eat out, unless we think the food is unique enough to warrant dropping almost $100 for two. The Alder Wood Bistro lived up to that standard and my wife enjoyed her birthday celebration here. We sat out back in their covered garden, which is a joy to sit in and be surrounded by flowers, plants, and trees. It's an oasis.

The service was prompt, the food wonderfully prepared, the flavors unique. We had reservations, highly encourage it. They were busy on a Friday night on Labor Day weekend.

Excellent place, it was by far one of the best places we ate at near the national park. The food was delicious and the staff were extremely kind and friendly! We really loved their fries, they were light but super crispy. Everything tasted very fresh including the gnocchi and the clams. The seating is outdoors and the atmosphere is very relaxing and cozy.

Went to Alder for the first time on Friday, can’t believe we have not given them a try sooner! Do not make our mistake, get in to try the Fungi pizza ASAP!

This was one of the most enjoyable and memorable culinary experiences my wife and I have EVER had. Full stop. We can wholeheartedly and without reservation recommend this location to anyone and everyone, young or old, big or small, who regularly consumes food! Guaranteed to blow your mind, induce salivation, satisfy your hunger, and pleasure your taste buds to one of the greatest treats they have will have had in their recent memories. 8 out of 8 eight items we ordered were the singularly best version of those items we have ever had at a restaurant.

We also could not leave a review without mentioning our absolutely stellar waitress. She was kind, efficient, supremely confident in the quality of their food, engaging, and incidentally, also a farmer from whom the restaurant sources some of it's produce! She was amazing.

Our only critique would be that the ambience/decor of the interior is not nearly magical enough to equal the glory of their food. So, please come here and tip them very well to give them enough money to redecorate and give them the external trappings worthy of their incredible culinary offerings!! :)

The conclusion of our evening was both of us, in tears of joy at the love and beauty infused within every bite. Their produce is locally sourced, their staff are generally long-term employees more akin to family, their zeal is palpable for what they are doing, and all of that shows through profoundly in the taste. Though we were unable to shake the chef's hand as he had already left for the night, we had a wonderful conversation with his wife and expressed out heartfelt gratitude to them for all their effort to create something truly wondrous.

This is a must-try restaurant if you stay in Sequim! The wait time was only 5 min for us and we got there around 5 pm. We ordered things on tonight's specials menu and everything was delicious and exceeded my expectations! Love the atmosphere and their great service! YOU MUST TRY THEIR CREME BRULEE! (it's lavender flavored) and MANGO SORBET (very refreshing)

We have been eating here since we moved to Sequim 15 years ago, always great food and great service. Sometimes I am in the mood for comfort food, bacon wrapped meatloaf or steak frites always satisfies. Last visit was Valentines Day, I liked the fondue with bread, peppers and apple, cleaned the fondue bowl with my finger. Pork prime rib with apples was terrific and the upside down cheesecake with cider salted caramel deserves a spot on the regular menu.

Probably the best restaurant in Sequim if you appreciate fresh ingredients that have abundant flavor! Highly recommend the root vegetable fritter and calamari. We had an amazingly friendly server named Libby who helped us order the perfect amount of food to split amongst four people. Don’t miss sitting on their heated patio as it’s very warm and has a great vibe 🙌🏻

One of the best restaurant experiences I’ve had this year. Food was fantastic, ingredients were fresh, dishes and flavors were well thought out and perfectly paired. Kind staff and welcoming ambiance. Would come back to this town just to dine here again!

We were visiting the Olympic Peninsula and dined here our first night. We are foodies and absolutely loved this bistro. It’s a farm-to-table restaurant and the food is so fresh, creative and delicious. We loved it so much that we came back a second night. We dined outside and there are heaters and blankets. The service was excellent. It’s the best on the Peninsula and highly recommend!
