Fodor's Expert Review JW

This elegant yet unfussy downtown bistro is one of Gig Harbor's top picks for memorable dinners. The kitchen turns out creative, seasonally driven fare—starters of honey-almond prawns, and duck-confit sliders, followed by seared sea scallops with candied bacon, and wild boar Bourguignon with sweet onions, carrots, fennel, and peppercorn sauce. The flourless dark-chocolate torte with white-chocolate ganache is worth preserving your appetite for, and the terrific wine list focuses on Washington and Oregon. JW doesn't cater to diners under the age of 21.
