Our Pilgrimage to Forks: Port Angeles

We stopped in Port Angeles on our way into and out of Forks and it was well worth the trip. It has many great things to do, we ate, we shopped and got an amazing coffee.

We also did some sightseeing.  PA has an amazing waterfront and Pier with a great lookout vantage point.

PA was a great stop on our Pilgrimage and we will visit again.  Thanks for a good time PA.

Our Pilgrimage to Forks: SoHo Asian Bistro

This post is from the remarkable Kimmie.

SoHo Asian Bistro. 

On our way back from Forks to Seattle, we decided to look for something light for lunch.  Just a sandwich would do. So we used our GPS and found what sounded like a perfect place in Port Angeles. We found the address but no place to eat!  It looked like the place we picked hadn't been there in a long time.  We were already parked so we jumped out of the car and walked down the street and found The SoHo Asian Bistro (http://www.sohoasianbistropa.com/).  We all agreed that it sounded yummy and in we went.  This bistro is in an older part of town so the ceilings were high and the floors were wood.  There were "rooms" filled with tables.  The front was lined with large windows letting lots of light in.  It's a very pretty place with an antique feel.  We sat down to enjoy some really good food.  The portions were huge.  We couldn't finish our plates.  

Shannon enjoyed the Jasmine tea with her meal of Beef Pho.

Jen tried the Vegetarian Thai Basil Fried Rice.

I had a Yellow Chicken Curry dish.

We really enjoyed this find.  

I give it 3 out of 3 forks!

 

 

Our Pilgrimage to Forks: Bella Italia

Since we were on our pilgrimage to Forks because of Twilight, we had to stop and eat at Bella Italia located in Port Angeles, WA.  This is the restaurant where Edward took Bella after saving her from being attacked. 

We were very excited not just because this was something right out of our fav book but because we all three LOVE italian food! When we arrived the restaurant was fairly empty. But we were there for an early dinner.  We were told that the place was rented out for dinner, a big party, and since the party was a large one they had no tables for us.  We did however get to sit at the small bar and enjoy some dinner.  We were put off a bit by the rejection, but were happy to be able to sit and enjoy the atmosphere.  If the party hadn't clearly been a priority I bet we would have had a much better experience overall.  We were forgotten a few times and had to wait quite a bit for our drinks and food.  

They of course offer Bella's mushroom ravioli.


The food was scrumptious.




The ambiance was nice. I bet it's better after dark. During the day it wasn't as romantic as I think it could be.

I give 2 forks out of 3 because of the service problem.
