Reviews for Inn at Ship Bay in Eastsound, WA
Great food, good cocktails. Great patio to eat outside and drink some rose. Seasonally inspired with many of the sides inspired... by what is ready in the garden. Sometimes a little inconsistent but we visit at least once each time we are on the island. Read more
It was a lovely experience to be warmly greeted and made to feel at home in this charming restaurant. Situated on the East Sound... with beautiful views and plenty of parking. The food was prepared perfectly and not over the top like some restaurants on theisland. This may well be our new favorite place to dine on the entire island. Read more
This review is for the restaurant. We came here for many years. Every time we visited Orcas this place is our must-dine. This... time it wasn't bad nor good. It was neutral. For some reason, the food doesn't seem to be a wow like before. Price is always onthe high end and service overall is still good like usual. We had a great dinner but we no longer wow let's come back here whenwe are in the area visiting. The ground is always peaceful and beautiful like usual. Read more
It's a gate Great piece of property that's not being too well maintained. Stay there 4 years ago. And we ate in a restaurant... that was pretty darn good. There are no menus in the room for the restaurant. So sad. Read more
Ships Bay Restaurant Review: We've had several excellent past visits to the restaurant. And, one really rude and disastrous... one. This review is for that one. Two good things to note: 1) the food was excellent 2) the views were magnificent. Now, thebad: In past visits, the staff was super-friendly, so maybe this is just Covid-related staffing issues. I brought a group of10. We'd been on a day-long bike ride. We could only get a tight window for an early reservation -which was fine since we hadto catch a ferry. When our table wasn't ready at the time, two of our party went to lay down outside to stretch -and wereloudly informed by staff either sit in a chair or leave. Throughout the meal, the entire group got a vibe from staff that rangedfrom coldly-professional to borderline hostile. We don't think it was just us: we had an early reservation, so we were alreadyrelaxing outside as employees arrived for open. One of our group observed that he'd never seen employees so unhappy about comingto work. We spent +/- $1500. It was not a pleasant experience. Read more
Dinner at the Inn at Ships Bay was incredible and was a highlight of our trip to Washington (we were there in August). I called... about 2 weeks in advance and made a reservation for outdoor seating. The patio was not crowded and servers made thoughtfulrecommendations. The cocktails and wines were crisp and refreshing. The spectacular views of the water from the patio made useven more sad that it was our last night on the island. We had the tasting menu. Our server answered our questions about thetasting menu. She also works as Roses bakery and was a delight for the dinner. Sadly we didn?t catch her name, but sherocks! We requested pescatarian for the tasting menu and I appreciated the creativity that went into the dishes. Not only didthey gladly honor our request, but every dish was fantastic. I was impressed at how many times the tasting menu used ingredientsfrom their garden. Both the vegetables and fish were remarkably fresh. They even specialized the dessert for my girlfriendsbirthday. This was a really special evening that we will remember for a long time. Hope to be back soon!! Read more
Had a wonderful 6 course chef's choice dinner and wine tasting. Exquisite! Very attentive service. In a romantic setting.... Pricey, but a true culinary adventure! Read more
We arrived right at the opening time, 5pm, only to be told that the place is fully booked. That's understandable for a small... place. However, the host also said the bar is full too, although there was not a single person at the bar. Can't comment on thefood but the service left a bad impression. Read more
