Blooms Winery 5511 Bistro - Freeland

Nice bistro and winery in Freeland, Whidbey Island,Washington State. Stopped by for lunch. There is a smallish menu selection for lunch, including vegetarian options, offering a tapas style menu. The olives, mussels and house smoked salmon are delicious and I would recommend these. There are a couple of salads on the menu too. We had a slight problem with our salads but the staff handled it well and therefore I am not taking any stars off. There was not a huge amount of flexibility to adapt the menu for food intolerances but all ingredients are listed on the menu. There is a wine tasting selection too we had the White Flight which has tastings of 4 white wines and was also good. Large deck at the back of the restaurant which is lovely but we had to change to indoors due to wasps. Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian options available on the menu including salads. Dietary restrictions: GF options available. Difficult for low FODMAP vegetarians not much flexibility for menu adaptation. There is a house salad (which you can have without the onion/tomato/cucumber topping combo, leaving just leaves) and some lovely olives. Parking: About 20 car parking spaces near the front entrance. Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible stairs to front entrance. Level throughout once up the stairs, with good amount of space between tables and in the toilets for manoeuvring. Standard height toilets.
