I love the bar aka "The Mansion". The mansion was originally the home built by Ship builder Robert Moran, the former mayor of Seattle, responsible for re-building the city after the "great fire" of 1889. He donated the property which is now Moran State Park. The spa is downstairs from the bar and offers full spa treatments and the use of an indoor pool . Visit the mansion and drink in the history of the island..

Best restaurant on the island! This is the place for a romantic dinner for two or a special family occasion. Owners, Geddes (head chef) and Maryanna, are committed to sourcing the best ingredients, either from their own garden or local farms. The food is elegantly prepared to highlight the quality of the ingredients. It is THE PLACE TO EAT. The wines are carefully curated. Check out the beautiful bar that features creative cocktails. The location is fantastic, with outdoor dining in the warmer months offering spectacular ocean views. Enjoy!
