It\u2019s been a banner year for us up at Friday Harbor House.<\/p>\n
New ownership, new executive chef, and a completely renovated and upgraded restaurant now serving locally sourced and locally inspired Northwest cuisine.<\/p>\n
That last part is a phrase that\u2019s very near and dear to our hearts.<\/p>\n
\u201cLocally sourced and locally inspired.\u201d<\/p>\n
The \u201clocally sourced\u201d part is easy enough; mussels from Westcott Bay, beef from Vashon Island, lamb from San Juan Island itself.<\/p>\n
But what about locally inspired?<\/p>\n
Upon first thought, it may seem difficult, but the answer is quite clear:<\/p>\n
Offer food in a restaurant that reflects the values of the Northwest.<\/p>\n
Respect for the bounty that the land and the sea provide us.<\/p>\n
Adherence to sustainability, and ensuring that the ingredients we use have not been gathered in a way that disrupts the environment.<\/p>\n
And being a gathering place for both guests and locals, and ensuring that the microcosm of our inn and our restaurant reflects and enriches the community around it.<\/p>\n
Oh, and serving wonderfully delicious cuisine never hurts either…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
