We did the 6 course tasting menu and one wine pairing along with some cocktails. I have a gluten allergy and my daughter has a dairy intolerance, they did an outstanding job accommodating. Everything I tasted was delicious and six courses was so filling I could not imagine trying to do the 10 course. The only thing that I will say that didn't wow me was the wine pairings, although we ended with a port like wine and I love port! I highly recommend Matia kitchen!

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.

When entering they had a few groups ahead of us, I one greeted us but made eye contact so we waited patiently. A family came in after us and walked to the waiter and asked for a table... I immediately spoke up because RUDE. They sat us and then that other party. So all good, but then they went and took their drink order before us. I was disappointed and decided they were both in need of manners and customer service. Anticipate a wait and hopefully they will be better staffed when you visit!

The menu is highly miss leading from the yelp post, especially for the menu pricing. Online price…read moreis $10 for my French toast of 3 slices but current menu has 4 slices for 12. Also traditional Texas toast for French toast is nice and thick, these slices are paper thin. And the overall batter lacks flavor. The side ham for $4.50 is not worth it as the ham is paper thin and maybe 2.5-3 ounces. Whereas off island the ham would be 1-3-1/2 inch thick and 5-6 ounces. Ham should also be juicy, but B.C. this is so thin it's almost like Jerky would be, and very salty. When you go into a cafe that says Organic Orange Juice you are thinking fresh squeezed, this is obviously not the case here, definitely tastes no different than the Minute Maid I get for home. The coffee is not very strong either tastes a little watered down and a slight bit chemically from maybe them not cleaning the machine very well. Service is very lacking as well. Other than taking my order the server never came to my table again not even to see if I needed a coffee refill Would not recommend this as a place to stop when visiting Eastsound.

Amazing food, lovely setting!…read more We stayed the weekend at Inn at shop Bay and decided to start the weekend off with dinner in their restaurant. We started with a drink in the bar, which was delicious. Handcrafted margarita. For dinner we had Oysters, muscles, salad, magalista, scallops and halibut. My husband cannot stop raving about the flavors on the scallops. The scallops were cooked perfectly. The halibut was too notch. I don't know what the creamy sauce was on the side of the dish but it was absolutely phenomenal. The service was spot on. What a lovely place for a romantic evening.

Acceptable food, fantastic location, weak service, and completely outrageous prices…read more This little restaurant is perched on the cliff above the Orcas Island ferry terminal, and as such, probably catches a third of the ferry-bound traffic (the hungry ones at least). We had a burger, clam strips, and their fried-stuff plate (mozzarella sticks, onion rings, curly fries). The burger was average; nicer than average bun, bacon a bit weak, non-Heinz (Sysco) ketchup only. Bummer. The clam strips were the stand out. Big pieces of real clam with a delicately seasoned breading allowed the flavors to come through. The onion rings were good, the mozzarella sticks were mediocre, and the curly fries... well, I like them OK, but why do they insist on that orange seasoning? This plate was also strange. You'd think they'd give you ranch for the fries/onion rings, and marinara for the mozzarella sticks, right? Well, it was COCKTAIL SAUCE, and that is an ugly surprise if you're looking for marinara on your cheese! Soda was $2, the burger was $11, the clam strips were $13 and the fried stuff, $9... $36.99 plus tax and tip total. Outrageous! I think we could actually eat at the airport for less. At least the food didn't suck.

My review is for the restaurant only. The spa is a solid five stars…read more I'm glad we ate here--the setting, the history, the ambiance are all stunning. The massive wooden furniture is impressive and surprisingly comfortable. This place has been loving restored and cared for. It was an absolute pleasure to be here and to sit on the veranda. The food was very average, although the Mansion Burger sounded amazing--maybe we just ordered wrong. The scallop/ halibut cake stole the show. I should have ordered two of those, along with the extraordinary Cole slaw ( best ever Coke slaw, imho). Sadly, we didn't stop at the scallibut cake, and the rest was disappointing; wedge salad, drowning in a watery blue cheese dressing, and overcooked lobster ravioli, served with four beautifully prepared scallops. I would return, but I'd order differently--just appetizers and skipping everything else. Drinks and scallibut cakes would make for a 4-5 star meal. The service, by the way, was just okay. She hadn't tried much of the menu, so she wasn't able to describe the dishes very well. She was great about checking on us and warning that the kitchen was slow (it was slow, but we loved taking our time and watching the sun set over the bay). Nothing was awful--what we ordered averaged out to be just ok.

Sadly not the same anymore as prior owner had it. Wouldn't recommend going to any more…read more Weird signs around the area for "pay for use" of everything, even $1 for a small peice of wood to burn. Parking lots for specific guests. Towels for "gold or better" guests. Oddly placed new amenities with picnic tables that have a large amount of weeds under it. No more hanging baskets or green grass. Staff is all gone from years past. Mansion is still closed and the store is now in the marina- weird. New roofed shelter by marina area but looks sub tier and out of place- grills are there now with benches. No wifi for boats in Marina.
