Eastsound, Washington, United States • 9 Employees

The menu will change frequently, to keep in stride with the growing season while concentrating on the bounty of simple, fresh Pacific Northwest flavors. Signature dishes include: Puget Sound sole filet with duchilly hazelnut faro; Smoked paprika-braised pork shoulder with mango rhubarb salsa; and Jones Family Farm manila clams with local saffron aioli. Allium, the Latin name for the lily family, includes onions and their allies. For Nakamura, "the onion is fundamental to cooking, providing the base for multi-faceted flavors and dimension." While it will no longer be fine dining, Nakamura hopes to continue "the warm hospitality and tradition for great food that Christina created for so many years." About Christina's Restaurant: Christina's became a destination restaurant on the Island, and the go-to restaurant for families living on Orcas Island. Owned by Chef Christina Orchid and her husband Bruce, it became a sought after restaurant, spanning a successful 28-year run. Christina was an early trailblazer in the locavore movement, and is the author of Christina's Cookbook. The restaurant features a stunning outdoor deck with sweeping views of the EastSound. About Orcas Island: Orcas Island lies in the heart of the San Juan Island archipelago. Despite being the largest island in the chain, it is the least populated. Known for its miles of solitude, lush landscape, local farms, and quaint coves, it has captivated national attention as a major travel destination. The journey to Orcas Island lies in the beautiful ferry ride, only two hours north of Seattle. Travel to the ferry is packed with adventure: snow-capped mountains, fields of blossoming red tulips, apple farms, and green pastures. The island is sheltered from the erratic Pacific Northwest storm channel, allowing for more sunny days than the greater Seattle metropolitan area. Showers in western Washington tend to be a good forecaster for clear skies on the island.
