So cozy and unique. We had a date night/ birthday celebration with a tomahawk steak and a bottle of wine and it was awesome. Come on, scallops that cut like butter and a perfect medium rare tomahawk steak is my kind of birthday celebration. They even have an outdoor firepit and cigars for an after dinner treat. MasterChef Nate Ryan does it just right, and it’s in Silverdale. It doesn’t get better than this.

I wanted to arrange a special Christmas dinner for my parents and hoped to make it completely stress-free for them. I was able to make a reservation and prepay in advance, so they could simply enjoy the evening without worrying about the bill. The owner was fantastic to work with—responsive, accommodating, and incredibly easy to coordinate with.
My parents absolutely loved the dinner and have not stopped talking about it. They both said it was the best dinner they have ever had, which truly means a lot considering my dad is 85 and my mom is 80. Afterward, I sent a quick thank-you text to the owner, and he went out of his way to send me photos of the Christmas dinners he served them. That level of care and pride really stood out.
This is a truly classy place with exceptional food and service. I very much look forward to eating there myself and would recommend FAFO without hesitation to anyone looking for a special dining experience.

This is a cozy friendly place with Michelin star quality food on par with what you get at Gordon Ramsay’s Steak at the Paris in Las Vegas. Fantastic experience! Don’t FA go FO!

This place is next level. The chef and his menu, meals and atmosphere are the best in Kitsap and needs to be a destination for foodies, people who enjoy fine dining or just a unique experience.
The chef interacts with his patrons. My wife and I booked again before we left.

We made a reservation on a night that is typically a night off for the chef and his wife but for a very small additional cost, we were offered a private dining experience and we jumped on it! What a very special treat! We arrived on time for our reservation and were greeted by both of them like we were family, I will forever remember the genuine smiles! We each ordered a Manhattan and sat back and relaxed in the beautifully decorated intimate restaurant while we watched Chef Nate do his thing. The scallops came out first and were absolutely divine! Soft and smooth like butter with accents of just enough herbs so the scallop shined. Our entrees included crispy skin salmon and tomahawk steak. The challenge of that perfectly crisped skin was met with a skill and expertise that many never achieve and the tomahawks temperature and rendering were pure perfection. Our meal finished off with a silky crème brûlée served with individual torches. We will definitely return and can’t recommend FAFO enough!

My wife surprised me for our anniversary with an amazing experience at FAFO Kitchen. She reserved the restaurant just for us. Iah greeted us with a huge smile and was always attentive without being obtrusive. Makes a mean old fashioned too.
Nate was very outgoing and I loved sharing our experiences about our travels.
The food….simply fabulous. The care I noticed right away in so thoroughly drying the scallops (yes our table was a front row seat into the kitchen), was a harbinger of wonderful things to come. The waygu with mushrooms, wow! The seasoning for the mushrooms was great, with just a bit of astringency.
Before I get to the tomahawk steak….I don’t eat meat beyond rare and my wife (bless her heart) takes nothing less than WELL done. Chef Nate handled it perfectly. Cooked rare for me, I took the rib cap, and back into the oven with the rest of the steak for my wife to her specification. Very impressed, everything was to please us.
All in all, a wonderful surprise for me, and new place to go for a friendly night out….the conumdrum……to recommend or not…..it is so good I want to keep it to myself.
Way to knock it out Chef Nate and Iah!!
