Reveille Café

Visiting for lunch on a quick trip to Port Townsend. The food and coffee were excellent. Grab and go chicken sandwich with chips was only $6.00. Salad was very good as was the chowder.

Some vegetables should NOT be crunchy! Two of us ate lunch, and the fried chicken sandwich was a hefty & tasty item: just fine if you are OK with fried food & gravy, but the steak fries were hard in the middle (another friend had the same problem on a different day). My potato leek soup was thin, bland & yellowish, with a few discrete chunks of still firm potato, & no visible sign of leeks. I opted for no cheese on the sandwich of the day, and while the roast beef & bread were good, it came with no condiments: a little horseradish or chutney or a slice of tomato would have been welcome!!!

...Surprisingly good ! A tasty place to meet w/friends over coffee or lunch after a brisk hike at beautiful Fort Worden. A good selection of menu items at a good price & a great place to hang out w/the Peninsula College crowd.

Great cafe surrounded by a wonderful old fort. The coffee is good. Service was friendly. They have breakfast sandwiches, pastries and snacks. Beautiful art on the walls.

Food was great. Generous portions and the breakfast foods looked like art. Service was good as well

The restaurant, Reveille, is located a 7 minute drive away in the middle of the historic Fort Worden, nestled in the front of the Commons, one of the few new buildings in the Fort.
The dining experience, however, is worth the extra effort. Port Townsend is full of gastronomic surprises, but this Farm to Fork restaurant, operated by Chef Cass and Restauranteur Kristan McCary, offers a sophisticated Pacific Northwest Gourmet Cuisine for the locals and tourists of Port Townsend. If you want locally sourced, sustainable, and seasonal fare paired with regionally crafted wines, ciders,and brews for a uniquely Pacific Northwest dining experience, make you way to Fort Worden.
We made reservations (a must!) for the monthly wine dinner and were smart to do so…..all of the tables were reserved. Five courses are offered and each course paired with wines from a vintner who comes to present his wines with generous pours. Each month features a different vintner from the Pacific Northwest.
We started with herb roasted cauliflower steaks dressed with a beurre blanc and a large dollop of grape rosemary chutney. This was accompanied by a perfectly chilled a 2014 Gewurztraminer from Idiot’s Grace Winery and Vintner in the Columbia River Valley. A perfect start to whet your taste buds. The next course was filet of salmon wrapped in rice paper, seared perfectly to flake off of your fork. It was surrounded by a rich reduction of tamarind and soy and a small stack of julienned tricolored vegetables.
Course three was a Mushroom Cannelloni topped with savory, crisp chunks of pancetta bathed in a rich creamy truffle and parsley froth. This was paired with a 2014 Dolcetto from Idiot’s Grace Winery and Vintner.
It doesn’t end…..next course was Braised Short Ribs Ragu over a Chipotle Sweet Potato Mash garnished with sautéed broccolini. This was paired perfectly with a 2013 Syrah, Granache blend called Mistral Ranch. The black cherry notes of the wine enhanced the rich savory red wine tomato ragu and the fall off of the fork tenderness of the short ribs.
We finished with three of the richest chocolate truffles imaginable, cayenne cinnamon, bittersweet chocolate, and almond chocolate…too decadent and sinful to pass up. The service was efficient, timely while unobtrusive, their goal was to enhance our enjoyment, not feature their service. We felt unrushed and undisturbed, yet our desires seemed anticipated…the wait staff appearing as soon as our wants. What an incredible evening!

Great place to grab a good drip coffee and bacon, egg, and cheese (: Easy spot to work at during the day or gather outside/inside during Covid.

I had the vegetable hash and give 4 stars. Fresh vegetables, potatoes and egg. My choice for next time. Everything on the menu sounded good so it was hard to choose. Good rich coffee too

Really good food and reasonable price for the portion size! All left happy and full, only reason why I rate 4 stars is the service was a little slow and not very talkative.

Great food, creative combinations locally and ethically sourced. Wait staff was that magical combination of super friendly and respectful of our space.
