One of the challenges when relocating to a new area is finding out where the good restaurants are.

One of my favorite spots right here in Silverdale WA is the Silver City Restaurant & Brewery.

The two owners, Steve and Scott, got their start back in 1990 when they opened "Top Notch Burger" in East Bremerton. A second location soon followed here in Silverdale (where Silver City is currently located).

In 1996, after coming to the realization that putting the major burger chains out of business wasn't going to happen, the decided to switch gears, and get into the growing brewpub business. They sold their Bremerton location and remodeled the Silverdale location into the popular eatery and microbrewery it is today.

You can begin your eating experience by making a selection from one of their tasty appetizers, such as Dungeness Crab Rolls or Mac's Steamed Clams. Their menu includes a delicious selection of Angus steaks, pasta dishes, specialty pizzas, soups and salads. The House Specialities include such popular offerings like Beer Battered Halibut & Chips, Northwest Crab Cakes, and Porter Glazed Salmon. In addition, there is a nice variety of Sandwich choices for the lunch fare like Jamaican Jerk Chicken, BBQ Shredded Pork, and the Asian Noodle Wrap.

The Brew Master, Don Spencer, with over 20 years brewing experience, oversees the daily production of 10 standard beers (from Yellow Jacket Golden Ale to Panther Lake Porter) and 10 seasonal beers (including Duckabush Brown Ale and Sasquatch Stout). Many of these brews have won numerous awards in the US and worldwide.

So whether its a power lunch with a valued business client, taking your family out for dinner, or celebrating an occasion with that special soneone, Silver City Restaurant & Brewery is an excellent place for great food, great brews, and great friends!
