Great food and even better conversations.
Since the 1970s a bank has graced this plot of land overlooking Hood Canal & the Hoodsport Fish Hatchery. In 2022, along with the loving guidance of chef Xinh Dwelley, it transformed into a celebrated gathering place for great fresh meals and wonderful conversations.

Paying homage to a legacy, chef Xinh Dwelley
When it comes to preparing local Northwest seafood , Xinh Dwelley is the undisputed legend in creating a fusion of flavors that are remarkable.
King 5 Evening Magazine feature on the Oyster Bank & Xinh (2023).

A vault full of reasons to stop in.
When we saw that door and all the safety deposit boxes we knew it wasn’t going anywhere. Instead we filled it with local treasures from local books and gifts to oyster souvenirs — yes there is such a thing!
The items in the Vault have been carefully curated to reflect our Northwest products – although there is a little preference to Smokey and Woodsy Owl.
