“Ive had the honor of putting on two large corporate retreat/events (120+ people) at Doe Bay. Both the staff and ownership bent over backwards to see that we had everything we needed to pull off a successful event. My thanks go out to River, Joe and their crew!”

“We ate at Ursa Minor for the third time last night. This lovely place never disappoints — from the ambience to the service to the uniquely innovative and delicious local dishes. Every. Single. Bite. Just so satisfying. We love the intimacy of the room and the service is perfect. There were four of us and we shared several items. The pacing was ideal. We had the BarnOwl bread with fermented yeast butter, cold fried chicken, cod fritters, black cod, roasted squash, duck confit, and gnocchi. It was a perfect evening. Ended with the panna cotta.”

“I love the coffee here! You can't get the same taste of the island! We love the male barista with the long dreads....forgot his name but he is the nicest employee there! So friendly and personable! Super passionate about his job and people!”

“Pro Life Tip: when you see a line coming out the front door of a business - GET IN LINE! I was in Eastshore (from Nebraska) to purchase some coffee roasters from a local seller. I had some time to kill before my ferry back to the mainland left, so was walking around the cool downtown of Eastshore. My attention was drawn to a line of humanity spilling out the front door of one business and out onto the sidewalk. A quick Google told me it was a bakery and so I did the most sensible thing and JOINED THE LINE. When I got inside I was delighted to see Kouign Amann at the front of the pastry case. I had only recently learned of this demanding, difficult to make pastry and it was ALL I WANTED. A short wait later one was in my bag/Crumb Catcher! Here it is a week and a half later and i’m STILL THINKING ABOUT IT and writing this review. It was a-MAY-zing and I have little doubt that ANYTHING you choose will be just as memorable. These guys could probably FRANCHISE their knowledge & processes in places like Aspen, Park City, Jackson Hole, etc. - but then again, maybe not. Maybe you need the passion of two classically trained pastry chefs, in their own little wonderful corner of the world (Orcas Island, WA). In any event, if you find yourself on the island, you MUST make Brown Bear Bakery a stop. You will NOT regret it. How ANYONE could give this place ANYTHING less than 5 FULL STARS boggles the imagination.”

“This family owned and opperated bakery is AMAZING. From their everyday sandwich bread to their Devine cinnamon rolls you can taste the quality and the love ❤️ one of the best places to visit on Lopez. You and your tastebuds will be glad you did!”
“Catered at our place, food was fabulous and Johanna and her sister are so easy to work with. Guests are still raving about pupusas, filled quesadillas and tacos. Veggie options were great as well. Can’t wait to do it again, they made it so easy.”

“Excellent cocktails, beer and food! Such a lovely location—we sat at the bar and could see the boats in the marina and the sunset. We got the pork dumplings, kimchi pork belly udon and the smash burger noodles. Everything was delicious! Can’t wait to go back.”

“Excellent service for the instant rush of customers. We walked in #3 and within minutes the line was out door. Moved fast! Good espresso, big brownies fresh, no stale pastries on a late morning Friday. Parking is a bit tight (not Holly B's issue), lots of outdoor seating and bicycle parking.”

“I was so happy to see this place! I didn’t realize there is a Filipino restaurant on orcas island! The food is so good and the ladies here are so friendly and nice! If you’re looking for great food on east sound on orcas island, I highly recommend you check them out. They are on the way to the dock - quite hidden but they have the signs out where you can see them on the days that they are open. I think only 2 days a week? Today, the sign says Wed and Thurs 11am - 4pm.”

“Such an awesome little brewery!! A total locals place with delicious beer and food (the smoked salmon and cheese are insanelyyy good)! Cali was the Beertender and she was so sweet, knowledgeable and fun to talk too!!
There’s a room on the side that’s super private and great if you have a few dogs with you, tons of outdoor seating as well. Definitely will be coming back next time we are on Orcas :)”

“Our family was thrilled with the food, service and lovely atmosphere. The menu is well appointed with selections. We enjoyed the octopus and wagyu meatballs for appys. Mains were a variety of pizza, pork shank (sublime!) and a pasta. The tiramisu finished the meal and should not be passed up. The wine list is well curated, we enjoyed a bottle of Bea from 2016. Phillip and Erin (the owners) were onsite and are deeply committed to providing orcas residents and visitors with a special dining spot. The adjacent shop on site has some great delicacies and baked goods too. We will be back!”

“I'm already looking forward to returning to try more menu items. The peanut pepper wrap was vegan without any modifications, and they let me leave out certain veggies on request. It was ginormous, delicious and seemed relatively healthy. Can be made gluten free if ordered as a salad, per the staff. The staff was very friendly and the outdoor seating was beautiful, with a large lawn, lots of trees, and a distant ocean view. Nice lunch spot with my dog. Highly recommend!”

“In a lot of towns you pass local pubs like this and think, meh, it's a tavern, let's look for something else. But towns need their taverns, and Eastsound is lucky to have The Lower! There is an obvious pride in ownership going on here. Clean, comfy and warm interior, supremely friendly and welcoming staff, a really wide selection of beers and wines that ain't common in most pubs, and filled with a great local energy - you can tell that this is a regular gathering place for the community. We were there on an Open Mic Tuesday, which added to the charm and fun. Outstanding burgers (the only food we tried on this visit) and reasonable prices. Just enjoy it.”

“I don’t give 5 stars lightly, but the Haven absolutely deserves it! What a gem of a restaurant nestled in Lopez Village. Quality and flavor of food rivals most anything you can find in the big city. The service staff really works as a well-oiled machine, with non-stop — yet unobtrusive — attention to detail. Then the bar serves some of the most creative and delicious drinks imaginable. When you find yourself on Lopez, make every effort to stop by and enjoy!”

“I rented a pedal boat from these guys and had a blast out on the lake with my daughter. I've also enjoyed some delicious ice cream and snacks from the Sugar Shack. The staff was all super friendly and helpful, will definitely be back!”
