San Juan Islands
Ridiculously good wood-fired pizzas using farm-to-table, locally sourced ingredients. The menu changes weekly so you never know what you're going to get. Chef Jay Blackinton regularly receives kudos from the James Beard Foundation, including being a semifinalist for Rising Star of the Year for four years running. There's an à la carte menu of seasonal, creative dishes and an excellent wine list.
Reservations are recommended.
