their meals were well portioned and very flavorful. love that they partner with the bakery down the road and serve their bread for toast. the atmosphere was nice, but if you get seated next to the patio door, expect to be blasted with cold air the entire meal.

We really enjoyed our quiet Thursday night dinner here. We made reservations about a week in advance which we recommend. The menu is small but the quality is exceptional in taste and ingredients. The service was great and the wine menu is superb. We had the braised lamb and fried branzino with an arugula salad and buffalo mozzarella so we didn’t have any room for dessert.

My wife and I ate here for both of their brunch and dinner service. Everything was amazing. The staff was super friendly and the food came out quickly. I would say the restaurant took other guests feedback and has improved a lot since the other reviews were posted earlier this year. We highly recommend that you make reservations in advance in order to avoid long wait times for the walk-ins. In my opinion, this is the best restaurant on this side of the island. We would come back here again.

Truly my wife’s kind of place—gorgeous view, delightful decor, a lovely helpful server, and Amazing food! I had the classic eggs Benedict and it was quite good. The home fried potatoes were delicious, crispy on the outside but wonderfully creamy on the inside. My wife had the mushroom crepe with tomato chutney and asked for a side of the tarragon hollandaise sauce. We both enjoyed the tasty chipotle hot sauce too. She was in Heaven with all the remarkable flavors, which makes me very happy as she’s a bit harder to feed in most restaurants. (I’ve got meat-y and pasta favorites that are pretty hard to mess up, but not the case for her.) We both loved the view—just across the street from the inlet on a lovely sunny day—and the ambiance. She was a happy cat over the stylish black & white woven chairs and the beautiful art on the walls. Well worth a visit to this stylish place for an excellent meal!

We had brunch here and loved it. My husband had the Eggs Benedict and I had the Wild Mushroom Omelette and both were perfectly prepared. The Omelette had sun dried tomatoes which added a nice flavor. We definitely recommend !

This was our first time dining here, and it was fabulous! We arrived on the island around noon, just an hour before the restaurant closed at 1 PM, so we quickly ordered the classic Eggs Benedict—and it did not disappoint. The hollandaise sauce was perfectly balanced—not too heavy, not too light—with just the right amount of flavor. The view of the sound is absolutely beautiful, and our server was phenomenal—friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. We’ll definitely be coming back and can’t wait for our next visit!

The Wild Mushroom Eggs Benedict was to die for. The staff was so friendly. I’ll probably go back before I leave the island.

This was one of my top five meals I’ve ever eaten. My family was on Orcas Island for a wedding and so my immediate family dined in along with two aunts and two uncles and their families as well. We were all at separate tables, but we were all in there. We waited a bit to get inside, but that was more than understandable since there were so many of us, and boy was it worth it. Every single one of us said it was delicious. That day, their special was the Dutch Baby with cherries and we got the last one for the day and it was amazing. I got the savory crepe with a tomato chutney and the waitress gave me a disclaimer ahead of time that it packed a flavor punch and she was definitely right. The chutney, specifically, was what put this meal in my top five meals ever. I live across the country, but am already hoping we can go back so I can get it again.
