Wonderful service and delicious meal. We sat outside on their patio on a beautiful summer night and loved everything we ordered! Highly recommend. read more

The Osso Buco was to die for! Great customer service and the chef comes out to check on you during your dining experience. A friendly atmosphere and tasty menu! read more

Came here for dinner on a very rainy day. Enjoyed the hospitality and good food. The burrata, beets and tomato appetizer (stracciatella) was our favorite dish, was great on top of the housemade bread. The boullabaisse and cauliflower steak were also worth mentioning. Fried green tomatoes were as good as fried green tomatoes can be. The only thing we could have and should have skipped was the fettuccine primavera which was not flavorful and had ribbons of raw vegetables which we were not expecting. Staff are very friendly and nice atmosphere. read more

Enjoyed a delicious weekday dinner for four in their dining room, which overlooks the bay. There is outdoor seating too. Wide selection of wines. We started with fried squash blossoms, scallop ceviche, beet and chèvre. It was all delicious. Entrees were excellent--I especially loved the lamb bolognese. Definitely order that and the burger. Our server was lovely. Overall, we had a really enjoyable time. read more

Kingfish at West Sound - Hotels Near Me - Eastsound, Washington

We had a wonderful weekend, staying in the Pine Suite and having dinner at Kingfish one night. The food was absolutely delicious and so well-prepared. We had oysters, ceviche, pasta with mushrooms, and the pot de chocolate for dessert, with a San Giovese wine from their extensive wine list. Our room was so comfortable, with a beautiful window view of Westsound. It was romantic and relaxing. Highly recommended. read more

Kingfish at West Sound - Inn and restaurant - Hotels Near Me - Eastsound, Washington

See all

I can't even begin to express how unbelievably cool our experience at the Kingfish was. First off, we had the amazing pleasure of meeting the new owners, Holly and Raymond. Raymond used to be the exec Chef at the esteemed Rosario Resort (apparently an awesome historical place!) and left to realize their dream of their own restaurant and inn. Be sure to ask them to tell you the whole story- it's truly inspiring. So as you can imagine, Raymond's chefy skills are beyond amazing. So much love put into every thing he cooks--. And when you hear of his Philosophy towards sourcing as much as possible from the island and how the taste of locally produced and grown ingredients just makes such a huge difference, it makes his meals a gazillion times more special. And the farm down the street? Ya Raymond has a relationship with them- imagine eating a meal with produce grown a block away. Does it get fresher than that??? And let's talk about the inn. 5 stars all the way. Tons of surprises on the amenities front. Cheap k-cups? Nope- only the best. Dollar store soap? Nope-High end super nice smelling bath products. Super comfy memoRy foam/spring mattress with the highest end linens! More pillows then anyone would need but of course all used! Are those pillow cases ironed? Wow. I'm posting a pic of the view. It's a rainy weekend but still absolutely gorgeous. And finally, it truly felt that Holly was staring at her phone just waiting for us to ask questions or seek advice. It doesn't get better than that. Perfect. In every way. read more

This restaurant is the best on the Island. Chef Raymond is imaginative and highly skilled, making a delicious meal no matter what you choose. Jenny and her staff are friendly, competent, and efficient. The room has an authentic woodsy vibe, very comfortable and fun. Many tasty appetizers, chosen by season, excellent pastas, and great main courses. My favorite is the duck. And good and reasonable wine list. Definitely worth the beautiful 10 minute drive from Eastsound. read more

King fish restaurant was amazing. One of the best steaks I ever had. Our waitress was fantastic. The view was fantastic. Would go there again if I ever visit the island again what a lovely place. read more

How can one adequately describe the creative cuisine, the enthusiastic staff, or the venue? You can't. It's beyond description. A GEM

My wife and I had a great dinner here. Reservations are a must as it was full early on a Wednesday night. I'm not going to recommend anything specifically as people at the tables around us all raved about their meals. I don't think you can go wrong. If you go to Orcas Island, don't miss this restaurant! read more

Great food, wonderful staff, gorgeous setting! The artwork that is for sale is also as delicious as the food. The burger is amazing and love the chef's complimentary starter! read more

Amazing menu! Had to try most of it! All apps are delish! Homemade pasta A+++ The burger never fails! Will be back again and again! read more

If you're on Orcas Island and are craving a top-notch burger, go to King Fish! Seriously, maybe the best burger I've ever had. Local ingredients are on point and the flavor is out of this world. Chef Raymond has put together a fantastic menu otherwise, so it's well worth going (even if you don't want a burger). read more

Our large family group of 9 came for dinner in late April and ordered the bouillabaisse, osso bucco, fettucine primavera, bucatini, ragu alla bolognese, Judd Cove oysters and asparagus gribiche. All of the dishes were delicious--and our server Jenny was SO thoughtful and efficient and helped us choose a bottle of Sagemoor Without Rehearsal Sauvignon Blanc and a bottle of Big Red by Orcas Wine Co. The chef treated us to ceviche, came by to say hello, and then treated us to dessert. We loved our table (# 11) that was like a private dining area with a water view. We will be back ! read more

Best dinner on the island. We usually order the duck, but we've tried pasta dishes, osso-buco (exceptional), and everything is great. The duck is a family recipe passed down through the chef's family. We'll appointed wine list, and dessert is off the charts (did the rhubarb crumble with homemade ice cream). Thanks to Chef Raymond and the wonderful staff for operating this great restaurant.... read more

The best fine dining and restaurant environment in the San Juan's. Chef always sources local ingredients and has something special up his sleeve, be it on or off-menu. King Fish is a must on Orcas Island! read more

The grilled bread was yummy. The bureaus "sauce" was delicious with beets and fresh tomatoes. AND the Wiener schnitzel was to die for!!!

Great experience, food was amazing, so much attention to detail. Beautiful setting, sitting over the water watching the boats.

We were excited to try out Kingfish since we have been regulars at Rosario where the chef came from. The location is good with great views to West Sound. We sat on the deck but the interior looked charming. Started dinner with the burrata, beet, heirloom tomato salad. It wasn't just a blob of burrata on the plate - it was nicely flavored and was almost like a dip. For entrees we tried the pork chop and steak frites. Both were wonderful. The proteins were prepared well and the sides were well thought out and very complimentary. The blackberry crumble for desert tasted just like grandma made. It feels like the menu has something for whatever you are feeling. Pasta, a burger, ceviche... without being too cumbersome. The wine list was a bit of a challenge. It's great to see support for local wines but I did miss the more traditional offerings. That said, the Constitution Cab was delish. Looking forward to returning soon! read more

Reservations required. Lovely turn of the century home and boutique hotel. First time, party of 7, we were hmmmm and ooooh the entire meal, so delicious. Chef Raymond and his crew delivered fresh and tasty plates, and although this is in the time COVID, we shared bites. Nice, cozy atmosphere for a family a date or solo. Looking forward to sampling the spring and summer menus. read more

I love everything about this place! So glad you were back open for my birthday. A few weeks later and we're back for my husband's birthday!

Fantastic meal! You guys kill it all summer long. Can't wait for next year. I hope the duck dish comes back. It was amazing.

This is now our favorite restaurant on the island. It's under new management and we went there recently to try it out. The staff welcome you and make you comfortable. Their knowledge of the menu is outstanding and their passion for the food is obvious. The variety and selection for a small island is unbelievable. And the food rocks! We will be back often so that we can try the rest of the menu and repeat frequently. read more

Location, atmosphere, but most of all the food, fantastic! Thanks for the update on my way home soon

We have been here twice and the meals were fantastic both times. The owner, and Chef, Raymond personally welcomes you with an Amuse-Bouche. The small plate, Grilled Miche Bread, is served warm and melts in your mouth. The entrees are ideal in size which means room for dessert! Our first visit I had the pleasure of devouring the Bouillabaisse Marseillaise and my companion the Steak Frites (tenderloin). We rounded out the meal with the amazing Creme Brûlée! On our next visit, on my birthday, we both chose the Lum Farm Ragu alla Bolognese and were amazed at the how tender the pork was and full of favor the dish was. Fantastic!! No dessert this time only because we had birthday cake waiting at home! The menu may seem simplistic but that is what makes you come back - knowing that whatever divine dish you choose you will not be disappointed. Lovely ambiance and wonderful staff. Already thinking about our next visit! read more

We landed at the Kingfish because we were looking at a boat for sale nearby. It has proven a wonderful discovery. The inn is comfortable and tastefully decorated. The restaurant is wonderful. From the Madeline starters to the bouillabaisse, everything was delicious. The setting is cozy with a lovely view of the harbor. And most importantly, the hosts are accommodating and welcoming. read more

Wonderful experience. The staff and chef were amazing. They spoiled my son on his birthday. The food was incredible and a lot of passion and care went into the whole experience. Thank you so much read more

WONDERFUL OWNERS ! Great place to stay and to eat! Great food and lovely staff . Very welcoming and accommodating....

Love this restaurant. The staff and the chef are so nice and make the whole experience a treat. What the chef does is very special and such a flavor sensation. We look for reasons to go to the island just so we can eat at King Fish. The Peruvian Ceviche is the best I have ever had and as I write this my senses are begging me to book again. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars but the system cannot go there. Highly recommend you reserve in advance and be ready for a wonderful experience. read more

We ate Kingfish with friends who were visiting from off-island and had a wonderful time. We knew the restaurant had recently reopened with new ownership and went in with an open mind. Everything went smoother than expected and the food was awesome. I love that they focus on local sources and have a good mix of veggie, meat, pasta and seafood options. The beer and wine selections are thoughtful and the service was on-point. You'd never have known it was only open for a few nights. We'll be back! read more

Unique dining experience. The owner and staff were very friendly and went above and beyond to make our visit enjoyable! The entrees had flavors that were complimented the items they were served with. Tried the sweet corn ice cream for dessert. It was wonderful! read more

Went for their reopening tonight and it was an incredible experience. My wife got the Burger and I got the rabbit bolognese. Both meals were some of the best food we've ever had in our lives. I almost ordered a second main dish for myself since we are leaving the island in the morning. The cheesecake and apple crumble were both amazing. But the cheesecake really stood out. Chef Raymond checked in with us throughout the meal and everyone at King Fish made us feel so welcome. They also made us feel so safe given COVID is still wreaking havoc. I appreciated all guests wearing their masks indoors and out when they were not eating. It was just a great experience. We will certainly be back -- hopefully COVID will be a thing in the history books before too long. read more

Always new, fresh and wonderfully prepared dishes! Hospitality is excellent! Views are amazing!

Ooolala... Chef did not disappoint we 4 who shared a feast including incredibly light squash blossoms, ceviche, local tiny lovely oyster, heirloom salad , liver pâté ( crazy addictive) and veal schnitzel from a local farm . Oh , and beignets. A very Memorable bacchanalian dinner...can't wait to go again next week;) read more

Thank you for making my guy's birthday dinner special. Food was divine!! Love the intimate setting and service was awesome. We will be back!

My husband and I had a great time at the Kingfish this last Thursday! We had been wanting to go to Kingfish for awhile after we heard the owner Raymond had left Rosario Resort to open his own place. The food is top notch. We ended up having the winter salad, moroccan carrots (order these!), and penne with lamb bolognese, and linguine carbonara. Everything was delicious! Raymond came out at the end of our meal and chatted with guests and regulars; it was a great way to close out the night and was so appreciated. We'll be back! read more

They really care for their guests! From the moment you walk in the door with music playing, find a quaint room with chocolate by the bedside, and a stocked mini fridge with drinks and snacks - everything is well thought of to set the mood for the weekend. Waking up to the exquisite view of the water is a treat. Highly recommend - it's well worth the price. read more

We love King Fish. Small plates, entrees, desserts are all delicious! We live on the island year round so it's one of the restaurants that is open during the winter months which we appreciate. read more

Fantastic dinner, service, and lovely view! Without much planning, we took our boat to Orcas Island. The King Fish Inn was so close to us. We quickly looked online at the reviews which were amazing. Made reservations ( which you will need) and then had our plan to head there for dinner. The food was excellent and could not have been better. We ended up having appetizers, entrees, and shared a dessert. The ceviche and halloumi cheese were wonderful appetizers. We then had a mushroom/hazelnut pasta dish and also the sablefish and red risotto which were delicious. The apple crumble with homemade ice cream topped it off. Loved it all with quite delicious wine. We will come again with friends. read more

Had an amazingly delicious New Years Eve dinner with friends (we're all Orcas Islanders) at King Fish that could not have been more perfect. Chef Raymond (new owner and chef) personally came to say hello and make sure we were well taken care of. Our waitress was friendly, sweet and efficient. Almost all ingredients are from local sources and then Chef Raymond adds his magic in the kitchen. Everyone at our table went home very happy! read more
