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.

We had a large party for my birthday and the server did a great job of making sure we had everything we could need, including a constant supply of libations. We loved our server, he was awesome and helped make our night. Lots of gf designations on the menu made it easy for me to order, and I was super excited to get to have the crab bisque! It was delicious and I could have just had another helping of that and been satisfied. We also had the crab artichoke dip, which was very good, and shared a filet that was perfectly prepared. The drinks were super cute too, I now have quite the collection of piggies. The only let down was the dessert, we ordered the creme brulee, but it was not bruleed.. just creme. Wasn't very pleasant to eat. Other than that, it was a perfect meal.

The quiet location, wildlife, and outdoor seating with a view of the harbor is hard to find anywhere else. Plenty of room that reservations aren't usually needed and it's kid friendly with menu items for them and plenty of room to run around while percents continue sipping drinks on the deck and enjoying the love piano music. The food is good - we usually get a seafood entree and always save room for the blackberry cobbler. Don't miss this hidden gem the next time you're here.

The missus got a reservation for 2 at 6pm on Saturday, Aug 15, 2026. It was my first time to Friday…read moreHarbor, WA, and her second. We both ordered different glasses of wine - she wanted the sparkling rose but I went with the staffs white wine recommendation - which goes well with seafood and a lot of their menu. Missus liked my wine choice more than hers - but I liked the depth of flavour of her sparkling rose! Clay was the name of our server, who took great care of us this evening. For food we both ordered the "summer menu" - a four-course fixed price menu ($90 each, +$5 if you order beef, which was a 7oz wagyu). I chose the salad, the dry octopus, and the wagyu option; the missus picked the peach tartine, soup, and the halibut. Before the first dish came out, the missus and I both received the "amuse-bouche", which was a nice treat. The starters both came at the same time - carrot soup starter was nice and hot, and the salad was quite good also. The first starter came out - the missus preferred the peach tartine (had a tinge of fishy sardine to it?), I liked my octopus choice. The octopus was bigger than either of us had expected - which was nice. Both wines went well with both dishes. The mains took a bit longer to come out, but one nice thing was that throughout the meal they continued to replace cutlery. The halibut was great, but the wagyu (beef) with broccolini and potatoes (specifically beef) was next level incredible. I'm super impressed by how easily it is to chew and how incredible the flavour is. The potatoes were also quite good - fried, but not "deep fried". The broccolini was also delicious. The wait staff came back with a dessert menu after our mains. The missus picked the twice baked cheese soufflé, and I wanted the chocolate basque cheesecake. Throughout the meal there's an ambiance of a classical music playlist - hard to describe, but it's instrumental (purely). We finished the mains and had picked our fourth (dessert) course by 710pm. The soufflé was quite delicious. I really liked the chocolate basque cheesecake. The biscotti that came wihh the soufflé kinda confused me - it was good on its own but it didn't really enhance anything. The missus found the both equally good. Including both of our glasses of wine, and fixed price menu, it was $217 before tax and tip. I'm kinda shocked this place isn't at least a 4/5 on Yelp. Worth it, in my opinion. Note: no parking, you'd have to street park. Also, one bathroom stall - it's nice but it's only one for the entire restaurant.

I tried the prefix (4 course) menu which is comprised of one soup or salad, one appetizer, one…read moreentree and one dessert. It actually kind of 5 course as they gave everyone and initial little bite that the chef put together. I can't quite remember what it was, but I think it was some kind of cauliflower blended bite (see first pic). The price was definitely decent for the four course, it wasn't super expensive or anything. I also tried the goat cheese souflee, which was good, the crab roast was better though, then I had the pasta which needed salt and didnt have much flavor. I will say though that someone got the filet mignon and that was really good. The fondue was basic, but the bread and ice cream was amazing! So biggest takeaway is I think this place is really hit or miss. There's some items that are good/great and others that are really not good/great. So if you come and pick the good stuff I think you'd really enjoy it!

Sometimes the most surprising places are hidden from most people's scrutiny. We found this…read moreunprepossessing takeout place by talking to a painter working on a garage. Stacey's is tucked behind the ever popular Harbor rental shop, and many of the customers are in the construction trades. There is no seating, it's a tiny shop front, tucked into a parking lot, but it's always busy. And for a good reason. Take the meatloaf sandwich. You might think it would be a Big slice of meat with tomato sauce on two slabs of white bread, but not at Stacey's. Here it's a pita sandwich with a very light, flavorful but not too spicy sauce packed with romaine lettuce and fresh tomatoes with purple onion. The overall flavor was Mediterranean, sort of like Corfu Street food. And the steak sandwich was pretty much the same thing, except with entirely different flavors, including both grilled flavor and a peppery, spicy sauce. Both sandwiches were delicious, custom-made as we waited about 10 minutes. These guys know to add unexpected and fresh flavors to an everyday sandwich. Even their chocolate chip cookie had some hard to identify but pleasant added sprinkle of flavor. The iced tea and lemonade were both house made. A great addition to San Juan Island dining.

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.

Unfortunately, our experience ended before we ever made it to a table. When we arrived, the hostess was on the phone. We waited patiently, but there was no acknowledgment of our presence--not even a simple "I'll be right with you." Once she finished her call, we asked for a table for four. Rather than greeting us or explaining the wait in a courteous manner, she simply shook her head and informed us there would be a 40-45 minute wait. The issue was not the wait time; it was the complete lack of hospitality. Had we been greeted warmly and treated like valued guests, we likely would have waited. Instead, we were left with the clear impression that our business was neither wanted nor appreciated. We chose to leave immediately and spent $200+ at another restaurant where we felt welcomed. While I understand that busy restaurants often have long waits, there is no excuse for poor customer service and basic discourtesy. Based on this experience, I will not return, nor would I recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the area.
