My Wife was otherwise occupied with school work so I took my eldest son with me to try out this place that had been recommended by a couple of friends.  Not sure what I expected but was blown away by the quality of food and service.  We started with a wine flight and the Warm Feta Cheese plate.  Then came the freshest and most balanced Ceasar Salad ever, good flavor without overpowering the romaine.  Next was the roasted duck deboned and perfectly prepared.  grilled veggies and Isreali couscous as sides.  to top it off we tried the deserts the Lemon Creme Brulee was silky and wonderful and paired with an early Muscat Yum, and the Chocalate Decadence cake, Naughty Version (just a hint of Cayene). paired with a Shiraz.  This is definately a place to take someone you wish to impress.  You better make reservations on Friday or Saturday night as it fills up fast.  Steve and Martin are the most gracious of hosts and I hope to soon be great friends.

I couldn't agree more!  Steve and Martin have created a real oasis in a relative culinary desert between Seattle and Mt. Vernon.  Their prices are fair, and food is terrific, and the wine list is very good with good representation.  I highly recommend Bistro San Martin to anyone who wants to enjoy a great meal.

How do the Wine Scores equate to each other?

Different people like to rate wines in different ways, and we aim to please. So we give you 2 options.

You can rate wine on a scale of 0-5 Glasses, or for finer detail, you can rate wine on a 100 point scale.

We do the conversion for you so all Wine Ratings display both values. The table below shows you the conversion:

= 50 points or less.
= 51 - 57 points.
= 58 - 62 points.
= 63 - 67 points.
= 68 - 72 points.
= 73 - 77 points.
= 78 - 82 points.
= 83 - 87 points.
= 88 - 92 points.
= 93 - 96 points.
= 97 - 100 points
