While this is beautiful space with a cross-street view of the water and warm ambiance, I’ve found the food, service and wait times inconsistent.
The food has been reliably good, and I’ve returned back for their burger sliders and truffle fries. That said, on multiple occasions, I’ve waited for over 20 minutes for a server and 45 minutes to an hour for food. The servers were slightly apologetic on both occasions, but forgot a friend’s gluten free biscuit entirely – twice. They gave us a free waffle, but, y’know… gluten. (I ate it, however — very good.)

The scallops were some of the best we’ve ever had and we had tried a lot. The beet salad was killer and the truffle fries were good as well! Alex was a fantastic server! We almost got married here many years back and tried this restaurant and loved it, it’s still just as good! Best we’ve had on orcas of 3 fancy dinners. We sat outside and enjoyed the ambiance! The old fashioned and the wine were top notch!

Had reservations for a party of 3. We were sat at our table without wait. The interior is minimally decorated, clean and bright and has a little bit of a south of France vibe. The view of the water across the street is very serene. Our server was quick to greet us and return with our ordered iced teas. The tea was wonderful. I believe it was an iced oolong black tea.
For appetizers, we ordered two Caesar salads and a French onion soup. Caesar salads come with anchovies so make sure to ask for them to be held if you’re not a fan like us. They were lightly tossed in the creamy Caesar dressing and very tasty. The onion soup was probably in my top 2 best onion soups I’ve ever had, with the only one that was better being in Paris.
Then, for mains, we had the Scallops Entree & two of the Beef Short Rib Ragu Pasta. My husband absolutely loved the scallops. The pasta was nice but nothing particularly amazing. One of the two identical ordered pasta dishes was a nice portion. The other (mine) seemed about 2/3 the size of the other. Weird. We also had a side of polenta. That was a tasty addition and the preparation was skillfully executed.
For desserts, we ordered two of the Lemon Bars and a Horchata Sorbet. The lemon bars were okay. They were kind of room temp/warm… but it didn’t feel like they were intentionally tepid just kind of left in a warm kitchen on the counter and naturally came up in temp. Couldn’t tell you for sure, though. The pickled blueberries were are odd addition and I didn’t think they really worked with the lemon bar. The horchata sorbet had a nice flavor except it was drizzled with a hot honey garnish that was exceedingly spicy. I am a huge fan of spice (think THAI SPICY) but this was too much for me. It tasted like someone accidentally added way too much chili oil to it and decided not to remake it to a pleasant level. It kind of burned my tongue (from the small spoonful of my friend’s that I sampled) as well as his and was a pretty unpleasant way to finish the dining experience. Overall it was a nice enough experience but I’d probably not return considering the items that didn’t pass with flying colors and that the experience was about $230 check with no alcohol even in the total.

Such a lovely breakfast experience❣️ The biscuits and gravy were delish, the drip coffee was the best I’ve had at a restaurant with their selection of oat milk and maple syrup. Our waitress was awesome!! O yea, can’t forget the nice view of the bay from our seat. Highly recommend this place!

This was our first time dining here, and it was fabulous! We arrived on the island around noon, just an hour before the restaurant closed at 1 PM, so we quickly ordered the classic Eggs Benedict—and it did not disappoint. The hollandaise sauce was perfectly balanced—not too heavy, not too light—with just the right amount of flavor.
The view of the sound is absolutely beautiful, and our server was phenomenal—friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. We’ll definitely be coming back and can’t wait for our next visit!

Came here while visiting Orcas Island and ordered the brown bear bread, salmon, and scallops.
The bread basket was very good, fresh local bread made down the street, highly recommended for an appetizer.
Salmon with lentils was good. Lentils and mushrooms were cooked very well. My only complaint is the salmon was a little dry and the cucumber sauce on top didn’t add much to it, could have added more flavor to it.
The scallops were cooked very well, nice and tender but not overcooked. Mushrooms tasted great and seared nicely. Mashed potatoes were decent.
Overall a good spot for dinner, expect good food but nothing over the top. Tab bit expensive as well, for two people ended up being over $100.

We have been waiting for New Leaf to reopen after their seasonal closure. They provide such an important portion of the dining on Orcas Island- in between the pubs and “tweezer” fine dining restaurants. The wait was well worth it. Vibe, food, and service were such a pleasure. We had the New York Steak, Miso Black Cod, and Crudo Appetizer. All were seasoned and cooked perfectly. Patrick in the bar was attentive and gave the restaurant a truly pleasant atmosphere. We will be back soon, and often, this season. Thank you for your continued hospitality.

We ordered wild mushroom Benedict, which was to die for! Extremely good potatoes and must order chicken sausage! Beautiful location and great food!

Prepare to wait for about an hour for food, after sitting down. We had to wait a long time during our past two visits for dinner and brunch.
Dinner: Great happy hour deals, large menu selection and everything is tasty. We especially liked the black cod and short rib pasta (special).
Breakfast: good omelette and benedicts. But by the time the food arrived, I was so hungry almost having a stomach ache. Then I ate too fast and didn’t feel well for the whole day ☹️ is the wait worth it?

This was one of my top five meals I’ve ever eaten. My family was on Orcas Island for a wedding and so my immediate family dined in along with two aunts and two uncles and their families as well. We were all at separate tables, but we were all in there. We waited a bit to get inside, but that was more than understandable since there were so many of us, and boy was it worth it. Every single one of us said it was delicious. That day, their special was the Dutch Baby with cherries and we got the last one for the day and it was amazing. I got the savory crepe with a tomato chutney and the waitress gave me a disclaimer ahead of time that it packed a flavor punch and she was definitely right. The chutney, specifically, was what put this meal in my top five meals ever. I live across the country, but am already hoping we can go back so I can get it again.
