The Madrona Bar & Grill, Orcas Island

"Food was okay, but tarnished by a ridiculous price and absolutely awful service. Servers were all rude and clearly not meant for the job. Girl with long hair and blonde highlights sucked. Clearly inexperienced and was mumbling curse words after we asked to sit at a table close to a window. The restaurant was maybe 75 percent full and they were acting like it's the busiest they've ever been. They need to hire servers that can handle stress better. The meathead bartender/server that took our order spent maybe 2 minutes total at our table. The last thing that needs to be mentioned is the price. $16 for avocado toast. DO BETTER"

"I had a grilled shrimp so good here it brought me to tears. Grilled to perfection, succulent and slightly charred, it was an experience in itself. This is a lovely restaurant with great food and service, as well as beautiful views of the water."

"Excellent service, food and views. This laid back restaurant serves some of the tastiest and interesting food on the island for a surprisingly reasonable price. The staff are charming and the views are not to be missed."

"We have been traveling the Pacific Northwest for the last 10 days so we have had many opportunities to sample many different restaurants along the way. After reading so many questionable reviews we decided to have dinner here and decide for ourselves because the view from the patio is stunning. We stopped in personally shortly after they opened to make a reservation for the patio for dinner they informed us that the kitten is closed between 4 and 5 to give the kitchen to prepare for dinner so we chose to come at 5 to make sure we got a seat on the patio. We started with a Caesar salad, then our mains were the seafood linguini and a madrona burger. The salad was crisp and flavorful with shaved parmesan cheese throughout. The madrona burger was perfectly prepared and packed with flavor. The seafood linguini was the best seafood we have encountered, beating out the seafood in Cannon Beach and Seattle. The sauce was so tasty the plate was wiped clean. The staff as great, constantly refilling or water glasses and communicating with us throughout our meal."

"The oysters are great, the steak is juicy, the fish sandwich is delicious and the salad is fresh. You can't go wrong. One year later we went back again. Reservations are preferred but we got a seat in the bar area and everything was just as good. Keep it up!"
