New Leaf Cafe - EASTSOUND

Located inside the Outlook Inn in Eastsound on Orcas Island, WA, this restaurant is on the pricier side but has a laid-back atmosphere. The service is friendly and welcoming.

We waited for over an hour before our food arrived. After politely inquiring about the status of our order with a staff member, they said they would check on it.

Wow!!!! I absolutely adored every aspect of this restaurant. I felt like I was living my best life, just like in an episode of Gilmore Girls. The food had a very upscale vibe, but...

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.

Truly my wife’s kind of place—gorgeous view, delightful decor, a lovely helpful server, and Amazing food! I had the classic eggs Benedict and it was quite good. The home fried potatoes were delicious, crispy on the outside but wonderfully creamy on the inside. My wife had the mushroom crepe with tomato chutney and asked for a side of the tarragon hollandaise sauce. We both enjoyed the tasty chipotle hot sauce too. She was in Heaven with all the remarkable flavors, which makes me very happy as she’s a bit harder to feed in most restaurants. (I’ve got meat-y and pasta favorites that are pretty hard to mess up, but not the case for her. We both loved the view—just across the street from the inlet on a lovely sunny day—and the ambiance. She was a happy cat over the stylish black white woven chairs and the beautiful art on the walls. Well worth a visit to this stylish place for an excellent meal!
