This is a place for good food, from casual to fine dining. As part-time residents of Orcas, my husband and I are always on the lookout for good experiences eating out and West Side Cafe fits the bill.Recently we both had the special of the evening, a delicious lamb shank with couscous, a good Argentine wine, and a wonderful apple...

Thank you for taking the time to write a review for us. Joe is doing a lot more slow cooked meats as specials this year--and the guests have liked them a lot. The lamb shank and the short ribs are in a race for 1st place with our regulars. More

Food, service and water views! We had dinner here on the last night of our honeymoon! Each entree was wonderfully prepared. Can't wait to return to West Sound Cafe. :)

We've been to Orcas Island three times and only now discovered the Westsound Café. We're just sorry we didn't find it sooner. Both the meal and the service were excellent. Fish tacos, Tres Sabrosas (sampler plate with amazing ceviche), burger, and tilapia were all outstanding. Small but well chosen wine list. The meal was memorable and great value for money.... More

We recently came to this restaurant and had a wonderful experience. We ordered the steamers and they were perfect. We split a wedge salad and it was so tasty. We split a burger and the fish tacos and we were practically licking the plate. We were so full and just could not stop eating! Our waitress was a sweetheart and... More

You can't beat this restaurant for its scenic view over the bay. The food was good, not great, but the service was very slow. Not sure we'd visit again, except maybe for coffee - just to enjoy the view.

My family ate their on our second night on Orcas. It runs about $20 for an entree and my portion of fish was generous. The preparation was good and surprisingly involved lots of ingredients and flavors, including a curried cous cous on top of the salmon, which was cooked very well. The kids has generous portions to their menu items,... More

Staff was very kind and personable. We had the manilla clams and ever since I have been thinking about them. They were that good! We saw someone with a hamburger and it looked like they do those great too!

On Orcas Island remember to get to dinner early since the kitchens in most of the dinner restaurants close early. West Sound Cafe has a great menu and the kitchen allowed me to double the portion of an appetizer to a dinner portion - and boy what a dinner! Peri Peri Shrimp was so good I want to 'peri-peri' everything... More

This is not a fancy place, perfect for a family vacation dinner and gourmet food. Deelicious.! Their fries were wonderful, the salmon done to perfection and the carnita tacos were great!!!

This place is so great, we stop here twice in a week each year. The deck feels like home, the food is first rate, the service is cheerful. Never a regret, this is our first choice on Orcas Island.
