If you haven’t been to the lovely Alderbrook Resort on Hood Canal, you might consider spending holiday time on the Olympic Peninsula. The restaurant overlooks the beach and marina and features fresh, local ingredients (often foraged from the resort’s surrounding property). This Christmas brunch buffet has something for everyone. For those looking to make an experience out of the trip, there is a lot to enjoy at Alderbrook, including an indoor pool, geogaching, spa, and the resort’s sister property Union City Marina (they have a small oyster bar and a shop showcasing locally made and created culinary goods and art).

Make restaurant reservations on open table, or with reservations when you book your room.
