Tucked along a country road in the rural valley north of Poulsbo, Molly Ward Gardens is one of Kitsap County’s most treasured dining experiences — a family-run restaurant set in a converted barn and surrounded by nearly five acres of lush, working gardens. The seasonal menu changes with what’s growing on the property, drawing on fresh herbs, vegetables, fruits, and edible flowers harvested just steps from the kitchen. Expect beautifully prepared Pacific Northwest dishes — think wild king salmon, herb-rubbed pork loin, blue corn blinis with smoked salmon, and house-made desserts — all paired with a thoughtful wine and cocktail list. The dining room is warm, eclectic, and full of character, with antiques and found objects at every turn, and live piano music setting a genuinely romantic mood. A beloved destination for anniversaries, birthdays, and special occasions, with staff who make every guest feel like family. Reservations are strongly recommended. Open Thursday–Saturday 4–8pm, call (360) 779-4471.
