As a fine dining experience Roses Restaurant in Eastsound on Orcas Island in the Puget Sound was very nice. The service and food were wonderful.
When you are on vacation it is fun to eat in a nicer restaurant. Real flowers on the table is a special touch that you don’t see in many of the more budget minded places.
There was no white tablecloth, but I really don’t mind that (I actual don’t like tablecloths much) and besides those types of places are usually a bit out of the budget.

The outside of the restaurant was decorated nicely. It looks like the camera photographed raindrops coming down that show up against the darker areas of the eves and door and it gives the feel of the typical weather around the Puget Sound.

Right by the entrance there is a small store with all kinds of interesting delicatessen goodies. It has a very nice selection considering the low population in the area (only around 5000 people live on the Island circa 2018)

Here’s my personal lunch selection of a pizza with arugula and potatoes on it. It was very tasty. I sampled some of the fish selections my other family members had and they were good too. (Occasionally I eat fish although I’m mostly vegetarian)

The dinning area was filled with mostly older people. As I recall, in the past places like this had a lot more younger professional looking people. Perhaps they don’t go on vacation around these types of places or maybe the demographics of who eats at these restaurants is shifting.
