We wanted to say we had a great time in the San Juan Islands and staying at Tucker House and dining at the Coho restaurant . My wife Sara enjoyed the duck it was prepared perfectly. I had the King Salmon which was just as good.

We dined at your restaurant last evening and without doubt, it was one of the most spectacular meals we have had. Many thanks for a great evening with our family and guests.

All the best,

Hey there,

I trust that you are doing well.  I was at the Santa Barbara Farmers Market last week.  I had my Coho shirt on.  a really nice couple stopped me and asked if i had eaten there….I said yes.  We chatted for a bit.  They loved their experience with Coho…the food, the people and the whole feel of the place.  i agreed.  Thought that you would like to know.

Ciao 4 now…..

Dear Ms de Freitas,

Our Friends of the Cercle Francais de Skagit County travelled last year to the Lavender Festival on Saturday.  This year, we came on Sunday.  We knew better what we wanted to fit into our brief schedule of 10 am – 3 pm for the ferries.  Fortunately, local friends drove us from the ferry to the farm and back to the ferry, so we did not have to waste an hour or more in line or attempting to find the lavender festival!

While we took some beautiful photos, learned much about distilling lavender, thoroughly enjoyed the music and musicians, and admired much in the gift shop, we all agreed that your demonstration of foods prepared with lavender flowers on Sunday 18 July 2010 was the best!  Your polenta topping on the berry cobbler is really delicious!  And the chicken, biscotti, the spread — everything was wonderfully new to our tastebuds.   Thank you for the investment of time and skills at the Lavender Festival.  We are grateful for that time you took away from your work and family to demonstrate new and exciting things to us!  And we’re also delighted to have your five pages of lavender recipes which you demonstrated.  I’ll be sure to include them in the next mailing to our Cercle Francais…… I’m sending a copy of this letter to our participants, as I’m sure they second my thoughts!

Cordially,

Susan R.

Hi Anna Maria and Dave!
My memories of the 3 wonderful dinners I enjoyed at Coho while on San Juan Island make me salivate! I particularly remember the flavor and texture pairings you chose for each meal, especially the Lopez Island duck and risotto.
Too bad that I will miss Dave’s garnered wisdom on pinot, one of my favorite varietals.
I just returned home and haven’t quite found the bottom of my notes from my trip, especially the website to rave about the fine dining experience at Coho. When you get a chance send again.
I wish you continued success with Coho and all your endeavors!
