Fodor's Expert Review Biras Creek Restaurant

This hilltop restaurant at the Biras Creek Hotel has eye-popping views of North Sound. For starters, there may be an artichoke, green bean, and wild mushroom salad topped with balsamic vinaigrette, or cream of sweet potato soup accompanied by potato straws. Entrées may include pan-seared snapper over horseradish pearl pasta. The desserts, including a lemon ricotta cheesecake with a spicy passion-fruit sauce, are stupendous. The restaurant also offers a fixed-price four-course meal that ends with Biras Creek's signature offering of cheese and port. Most days, lunch is a barbecue on the beach.
