A woman I work with is a PA native and raves about C'est Si Bon.

Most women don't seem to know how much flour to use so it gets so thick you have to chop it off the plate with a knife and it tastes like wallpaper paste....Just why cream sauce is bitched up so often is an all-time mytery to me, because it's so easy to make and can be used as the basis for such a variety of really delicious food.

Ooooh, the one and only thing I know about Port Angeles is not to go to C'est Si Bon. I heard it from a guy I trust, but this was about four years ago. He said that it was lousy food with service to match. And the prices really pissed him off. Those are Seattle prices, or maybe even a bit higher.

Maybe you could take a chance and let us know.

If we aren't supposed to eat animals, why are they made of meat?

Vinelady, have to really disagree with Chuck's buddy about C'est Bon. That said, it is a fair distance for anyone from the waterfront and therefore not really a viable solution for this trip. Also, is more dress up type of dining then sailing gear.

Would recommend either Thai Peppers at 222 N Lincoln St or Bella Italia at 118 East 1st St. Both are within reasonable distance of the waterfront. Not sure where you will be tying up but they are both near the dock areas.

Chuck, I'm not sure exactly what happened to your buddy 4 yrs ago but my husband Al and I count C'est Bon as one of your favorite special restaurants. I'm sorry he had a bad experience but we have only had good. Recommend you try it for yourself.

Vinelady, hope the suggestions help. Let us know where you ended up and what you thought. I support Chefpeon's ideas for another sail and tying up in Port Townsend. In that area, without the need of a car from the waterfront, our favorites are Wild Coho (where we will have New Year's Eve dinner) and Silverwater.

So the owner of the boat did a quick change up on me. We ended up only over at Port Orchard and other than a decent sushi place I would report that there really is nothing happening there. I will push for Port Townsend next time. I really want to give a number of the places mentioned a try.

But is was a wonderful sail.
