I asked them to do two separate cups and they did that. Sorry that is dumb like anything I have ever seen. Secondly I had no plans to tip given the service but the person at the payment kept saying there is a question for you which is essentially to pay the tip. Btw this is for someone who tips 25% minimum and above for greater service for context

I'm extremely bummed to leave such a low score. My wife and I had high hopes this would be the…read morehighlight of our time on the island (food wise). The high points: The views! The location is wonderful. Water views, downtown, so it's easy to get around. Parking was easy and even though we were early for our reservation they sat us right away. The mids- when I made the reservation online I made a note about it being a very special birthday for my wife. I did not expect anything for free, but I anticipated they might at the minimum say something. Not one person ever mentioned it. The lows. The service, well intended, but under trained. I won't list everything but the prime example is once the food was dropped the server did not show up again until we were almost done. The food was sub par. We had Miso glazed cod and French onion soup. We weren't happy with either. By the looks of reviews, our experience was not normal. We hope it is just due to going before the tourist season starts. No matter the reason, it was a big let down.

We each got a coffee, and then split an Olga Rising breakfast biscuit sandwich, which was AMAZING. Soft and tender biscuit, perfect amounts of toppings, sweetness from the jam...just fantastic. Wouldn't hesitate to come back.

My friends loved their burgers (chicken and hamburger), and while I went with the shrimp salad, it was fine -- not bad, just more on the simple side and heavy dressing. Overall, a solid stop for the location, views, and laid-back vibe.

Whilst I've enjoyed their fresh cut sandwiches before boarding the ferry, the fourth star is awarded based solely on their carrot cake. Until eating Orcas Island Market's carrot cake, I thought the best carrot cake I'd ever eaten was served at the restaurant atop Sax Fifth Avenue, New York. Potential carrot-cake connaisseurs should note that cakes are rotated daily albeit carrot cake is not offered daily. If you visit in the day carrot cake is served, buy a generous slice and enjoy.

We came here thinking they would have actual meals, but the stuff we ordered, especially the Scallop Crudo, left us still hungry. The Birria Foccacia looked and tasted good, but not so reminiscent of actual Birria, as the consommé served with it tasted just like taco seasoning broth, no tanginess, such as lime or cilantro, added to it. With the Scallop Crudo, I would say they called it Vietnamese Nuoc Cham sauce, but I think they were actually thinking of the Lao Jeow Som. Sauce for the Scallop Crudo was delicious, though. I loved how fresh the ingredients were. For drinks, I got a mocktail of their Amaretto, I think. I liked the drink, it tasted very cozy for the weather. Overall, dishes are all farm to table here. That's why it is priced the way it is, but perhaps I wish there were just more to eat.
