Crab citrus salad- delicious!
Susan C.

This place is amazing. In fact, we come here every year when we vacation on Orcas Island at least 2-3 times per trip, so at the ferry dock, we met a really sweet couple and suggested this place and guess what- we saw them there (hi Corgi friends!) Anyhow, back to this restaurant- every single thing is delicious. We've tried everything, and you cannot go wrong because whoever runs the menu is a genius. The view is beautiful, you can see the bay and we often see eagles. Staff is fast, friendly and efficient. Portions are big, prices are fair and we've never had to wait for a table. Seriously, if you visit Orcas Island and don't eat at least one meal here, you are missing out.

Irish coffee
Rose E.

We came here following a recommendation from one of the groundskeepers at the Orcas Hotel (shoutout to Stewart), and we were so happy we got the chance to try this place out. The views from here are the BEST. You get ocean views from corner to corner, and the vibe is super chill. We were here on a Monday evening, so it was a bit empty, but I could see this place getting super busy. It's large enough for events. We ordered: -Fish & Chips - Fiancé recommended I get this since he read it's a hit at this place, and I kind of regret it. It was good, don't get me wrong, but there were other dishes I wanted to try as well. I should have gotten the Guinness Stew, so we'll have to be back to give it another go. -Corned Beef Hash - Fiancé loved this; he says it was filling and flavorful, so if that's your thing, I'd recommend this dish. Irish Coffee--We felt like we should have just ordered these the whole time, mainly because it was closer to evening, and we were getting a bit tired from hiking earlier, so this woke us up. -Guinness and a few other beers The host and servers were all super nice and quick to help us out, but they were just not very chatty. A few people started a conversation and got quickly cut off, so this may not be the place for that. The bar was full of locals, so I can see this spot as a fun place for locals to meet up during the week. Highly recommend, if you're ever in the area. We noticed there is another restaurant with Bay views as well, but these guys are smack dab in the middle of the water views, so if you want that with a classic pub vibe, this is a good place to check out.

Shepherd's pie
Ber C.

Went on a clear Friday evening and chose seats by the window. The view outside was gorgeous, facing the fishing bay with calm waters. Server was attentive and ordered shepherd's pie that came out promptly. It was as expected for typical Irish bar fare yet not too filling. The only thing that bothered me was a few tiny flies that kept buzzing around. Perhaps it was because we were sitting by the window.

Ruben and salmon burger
Alisha B.

Service - The two men who juggled seating, bussing, and serving on a busy holiday weekend evening handled the crowds like pros. We waited longer for a table than we did for our food and it wasn't long. Food- top notch....super fresh, generous portions, and perfect amount of seasonings. We started with Irish rolls which basically have Ruben sandwich ingredients tucked into a fried wonton. Holy moley, we were shocked and impressed with how delicious they were! I like how they used a Dubliner cheese instead of Swiss. Then, we had the beef stew, chicken pot pie, salmon burger (big slab of salmon), and the Ruben sandwich. Ahhhhhh! It was as delicious as the view was gorgeous. We will be back!!!

Clam chowder
Deidra B.

We stopped by this rustic place on a whim to try the clam chowder. My goal in life is to try soups, stews, and chowders, when I travel out of state, or country. This chowder was good. I would order it again. We also had the crab dip and it was good as well. Had a glass of wine and my companion had a beer on tap. Service was great and friendly. While we were eating a large group came in for a friendly card game. This is a cool place to hang out.

This place fucking sucks! Disgusting food bad service. Never going back ever again. The atmosphere reminds me of a cold cigarette ashtray.

Worst bar on the island. Rude staff . Overpriced and horrible atmosphere. Avoid at all cost - go to the brewery instead!

The Brown Lantern Alehouse - Rémy burger

The Brown Lantern Alehouse

Brown Lantern is a classic tavern and ale house. They have a large bar, dining tables in the bar…read morearea and a separate family section that is less "lively." Features a full bar with cocktails and a great beer selection. Ambiance is fantastic, with dark wood and interesting lighting and decorations. I'll be honest - it smells like dirty bar from time to time, so I'd say cleaning could be improved. The menu has something for everyone. Their burgers are awesome, the tater tots are creative and delicious. I tried the steak tacos the recently and they were very tasty, although the tortillas were slightly over toasted, resulting in a bit more crunch than you'd expect. Service is usually good. The bartenders handle table service, so you could end up with more than one person waiting on you rather than having a dedicated server. This can result in slower service times when it's busy, but that's the nature of the beast.

Is there any service or were we just being ignored? ‍…read more Walked in, waited around for a bit while the staff did their thing. There are no signs that said "please wait to be seated" or "seat yourself" either, but after waiting a bit we thought we'd seat ourselves and the service would come to us. That never happened, so this feels like we were being ignored. It's unfortunate though, because it seemed like a chill place to grab some food. But this isn't how you run a business because after waiting around for 15 mins we left. Probably won't be stopping by again.

Had high expectations that didn't deliver…read more My girlfriend and I came to stay the night on Orcas Island, and this was the first restaurant we tried. Having made reservations beforehand, we were really excited to try this place out. The servers who greeted us were really nice. The restaurant had a beautiful dark interior that gave off a cozy steakhouse vibe. They even offered to take my coat, how nice of them! Despite the hospitality, the food did not really live up to expectations. I got the birria, and while it was okay, it definitely wasn't worth the price I paid. My girlfriend's scallop crudel was almost as pricey and it did not even fill her up. I believe the bill for our whole meal (including a mocktail) was over $80. This was definitely not worth the price point paid for, considering that we were not fully satisfied with that meal. Regardless, many thanks to the Monti staff for having us.

First visit and I'm smitten. Great decor and service, but the meal really distinguished itself…read more First course was a fennel shaved salad with exceptional flavor - don't be dissuaded by the reference to anchovy dressing - it works magnificently and nothing overpowers. The chicken liver with summer tomatoes was magnificent, even if they needed an extra slice of sourdough to finish the plate. The star was the roasted pork belly. I've had many in my day but this was the crown jewel of belly's - succulent, tender inside and crispy edges, and the flavor was off the chart delicious. Rigatoni with lamb did not disappoint and pasta was cooked to perfection. Saved room for chocolate mousse and it was excellent and not too sweet. Wine pairings supported the wonderful meal. I look forward to returning and trying all the dishes we didn't select. This place has it over Rosario and Madrona. Your wallet will be lighter but not unreasonably so.
