We decided to drive out here from Eastsound for dinner one night, and it was well worth it. The menu is full of down-home locally-grown options. The service was top-notch, and the wine menu is extensive. We had a beautiful romantic dinner and we were made to feel welcome even though we were the last couple in the restaurant.

We enjoy eating here when we want a romantic or special occasion night out. The chef is creative and much of the food is grown locally. The cost is high and the servings are not large but it is worth it. The views are also good.

great food and chef - decor leaves much to be desired but don't let it fool you, the food is great. Close to the marina and deers grazing outside on the grounds - aptly named.

One of my favorite family owned resturants. 4 of my 6 kids have worked there and I have had them steal recipes if they can. Love it! Don't miss the chance to enjoy!

A bit surprising as the atmosphere didn't quite match the quality of the food. Everything we got was prepared very nicely and tasted great.

We planned a "land" dinner while bareboat sailing the islands and moored at Deer Harbor (a great location). Unfortunately they were out of the salmon and halibut, not leaving much to chose from. Our dishes were okay, but not special, but with enough wine, it was a good evening. The fact that it is the only restaurant in Deer Harbor... More

Split pea soup better than any I'd ever had before. Delicious salmon, with the best Hollandaise I've ever tasted (I used to think I made the best, but no longer). Wonderful wine: San Juan Island chardonnay. Dear eating apples fallen from the tree just outside the window, with rabbits hopping about in the background. Congenial guests. A great dinner all...
