Matia Kitchen - Eastsound (WA)

4 /5 Liz Y.: Good but nothing exceptional. Pork ragu rigatoni was mediocre. Prawn toast was pretty good but didn’t taste like prawn. Wine was amazing. Cocktails were interesting. My partner loved the clams although I thought they were a little flavorless. The baked potato ice cream was amazing! I’d come back just for that dessert.

2 /5 Shelby C.: we had the most phenomenal meal last year on the cooks side. as a chef by trade i enjoyed chatting with them about the wine pairings (best ive ever had) and the food- and the food was delicious. this year we opted for the bar side and had the worst service i think ive had anywhere; drinks arrived 20 minutes after we finished eating- 45 minutes after ordering. and at the end asked if we wanted to order dessert drinks? well- no... the food was incredible as always. the chefs there are so very tuned in. drinks were not good. if the apps are too small for one person to eat one, the size of them should be increased; it was weird to order and be told i should order two of each. if you know the drinks in the bar are behind 40+ minutes, and you should know, consider offering your patrons complementary wine to sip with their meal- having room temp water with my food at a fine dining restaurant with a reservation.. and recieving them 20 minutes after we put our fork down should be an automatic comp. is there nobody else in the establishment who could make a drink or paying attention to help expedite the bartender? i would never make this sort of review but at this price point these sort of things are very basic and expected- the service and experience is the product. in the future, well stick to hanging out with the BOH staff who took care of us incredibly well, were friendly, versed, and down to earth.

5 /5 Sandra Maria Trahan: Weve been fortunate to eat at quite a few of the worlds 3 star/Pellegrino list restaurants and Matia is right up there with the best of them. The food was absolutely fantastic, showcasing regional and hyper local ingredients, with some gorgeous global wine pairings. The service was on point, but also friendly and relaxed. The vibe is cool and the bar space is dark and sexy. 10/10 will go again.

5 /5 Jason Creeden: This restaurant is a gem on Orcas island. We had the 6 course tasting menus and it was absolutely stellar. The wine pair was especially exceptional with each wine really building on the taste profile from each dish. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice meal during their stay on the island.
