The best food I had on Orcas! Our group went there twice. Lovely ambience and Service too.read more

During our visit to Orcas Island we ate at New Leaf Cafe 3 times. We visited Sunday to Monday, and…read moreunfortunately many places are not open on those two days. New Leaf Cafe is the nicest restaurant in town that was open those days. TLDR: Breakfast is better than dinner here. Dinner items: - Beet salad - excellent - Clam Pasta - it was good - Vegan Roaster Cauliflower with hummus and harissa sauce - cauliflower was a bit mushy for my taste. - Cod - it was ok, pricey for what it was - Shishito peppers - good - French onion soup - too salty - side of potatoes - delicious Breakfast: - smoked salmon bagel - so good. loved the house-made bagels and house smoked salmon and heirloom tomatoes. This is an elevated smoked salmon bagel. - Mushroom egg omelette - also incredibly delicious. The potatoes that came with it were also so delicious Highly recommend both breakfast entrees. If you had to choose, I would prioritize breakfast over dinner here. Breakfast is also more lovely to enjoy the view and the stained glass and art inside. Although breakfast at Brown Bear Bakery is also wonderful. Service was good for the most part. During one dinner, there was a very long wait between appetizer and our entrees.

Stopped by on a Saturday w/o a reservation for 3. The hostess said they'd have an outdoor picnic…read moretable ready 30-40min and would text to alert when ready. Once seated, we had to ask the hostess for silverware. Started w the grilled asparagus ($25) - tasty sauce of garlic scapes, topped with pretty purple flowers that added no flavor. Good flavor, but for 6 stalks this was kinda insane. Scallop crudo ($30) was disappointing - scallop was minimal, very overwhelmed by the rhubarb. Would have expected the ratio to be balanced. Beautiful dish, no less, but this should have been called a rhubarb crudo to accurately reflect the dish. Again, insanely low volume of food. For pizzas, we got the poh-tay-toh ($28) and Gus Gus ($27 - asparagus, green garlic, tarragon, mozzarella, parm). These were more redeeming than the apps, tasty, but not ground shattering. Understandably the "ambiance" was expected since did not have reservations, but even then, the exterior was dusty and we did not feel the staff was present. Outdoor restroom was a step up from a hiking trailhead bathroom. The establishment inside is very nice so YMMV, but our experience was less than stellar. Overall, disappointed by the experience. Pizza was good, but extremely meager portions for the appetizers. It seems the focus of each dish was appearance rather flavor.

Every visit to Orcas......I try…read more One time? Ordered the fish and chips. When I cut into the fish? And I'm NOT kidding, the middle part of the fish was BLUE. I told the waitress and she said "no, the kitchen temps everything". Me. Um .....NO they don't .....but you keep on believing that. The second time I ordered something it was the pot pie. The filling had ZERO flavor and tasted like it came out of a can. This week? I thought. SIGH....ok. I'll try again. I ordered the chicken wings. Now. This is probably personal preference. But, I tore off the skin trying to get away from that weird sauce. It was so sweet! Think I ate two naked pieces of chicken and called it. That all said? The restaurant is right on the water so the views are great. The staff is kind and VERY attentive. Can't say I won't try again. Maybe next time I'd try the wings without sauce. Or! I'd like to try their Irish egg rolls :)

The downstairs lounge is 21+ but offers ample seating and a great view of the water. We were able to find a table for 6 people. The menu is limited in the lounge, but decent. I ordered a hamburger with fries. The fries were really good. I also ordered a red wine - I like that they have 6oz and 10oz options. It was very busy Friday evening, so it took quite a while to get our food. They mentioned having a small kitchen. I hope they are able to improve on this soon.

Several people were given beach towels by staff to wrap up in to keep warm. Whew! Our lack of planning actually turned out to be a blessing in this case as mid-September nights can be quite chilly! My husband wanted an appetizer and we mentioned that I have a daily intolerance. The server mentioned that they can prepare the mussels, which my husband mentioned, in a coconut milk and red curry sauce like what they do for clams. We really enjoyed them! We soaked the bread in the broth after eating the mussels to enjoy as much as the delicious broth as possible! I decided to order sesame crusted ahi appetizer and a side salad with shrimp as my "entree" and my husband immediately knew he was getting the lemon herb risotto with crab. He enjoyed every bite of it - including the kale!!
