Waterfront dining in Washington is amazing approximately 365 days a year, but there truly is something special about enjoying a delicious meal and a cold beverage on a seaside patio on a summer day. If your warm weather plans include a trip to Bainbridge Island, make sure to pay a visit to Doc’s Marina Grill. Not only does the restaurant sit right on Eagle Harbor, but the food happens to be fantastic.
