"The new Orcas Island restaurant from chef Jay Blackinton, who is a finalist for Best Chef: Northwest and Pacific. Blackinton is an important figure in the San Juan Islands dining scene and is cited as one reason the islands have become a culinary hotspot. The new spot’s format pairs small plates with sourdough pizzas, continuing Blackinton’s interest in inventive, ingredient-forward tasting sequences." - Harry Cheadle
