In Short
Coming to dinner at this quaint Winslow restaurant feels like going to a dinner party in an elegant friend's home. The structure of the original 1889 farmhouse has not been changed, and the linen-covered tables are placed in intimate-feeling rooms with warm yellow walls. The inventive, daily menu focuses on seasonal ingredients with a loose Italian theme: Fried ricotta gnocchi is a favorite appetizer, while entrees include fresh seafood, beef tenderloin and Italian classics like pizza, pasta and more.

We were visiting Bainbridge Island and meeting for my mom?s 70th birthday. We picked the Four Swallows based on the positive internet reviews. The restaurant exceeded all expectations. The restaurant is warm and comfortable located in the historic farmhouse. We had antipasto, mussels and a Caesar salad to start. Two of us had halibut steaks while my mom had jumbo prawns. All of us agreed every dish was delicious and perfectly prepared. We had a really enjoyable bottle of Pinot Noir for $42 The entire staff was gracious, informative and helpful. Our waitress warned us the portions were generous and steered us from ordering too much. We were glad we took her advice. The worst part of the affair was the fact that we didn?t save any room for dessert. I?d highly recommend the Four Swallows to anyone visiting the Island. It was one of the best meals I have had in a long time and my mom, who lives in Seattle can?t wait to visit again now that she knows about it.

The Four Swallows is one of those rare places that is appropriate for a special occasion, like an anniversary dinner, yet feels very comfortable and unpretentious. The food is fresh, simple, and very good. The wait staff is attentive and knowledgeable, and the wine list is outstanding. Beautiful place that makes you feel at home.
