Chef Bobby Moore is one of Woodinvilleâs culinary fixtures after years at the helm of the restaurant at Willows Lodge (no relation to Willows Inn). Elegant dinners here might include beef tartare, wild nettle tagliatelle, and grilled octopus paired with smoked brisket. Daily brunch service lets visitors start the day with a dungeness crab benedict or the smash burger that Moore has pretty much perfected.
A low-key restaurant hides behind the stately brick schoolhouse that now serves as the areaâs central landmark (and as a satellite tasting room for Maryhill Winery). The bistro has a subtle filling station vibe and a menu of comfortsâBLTs, bacon-wrapped dates, even chicken pot pie.
