Well prepared food, creative menu and excellent wine list. Roasted Brussels Sprouts appetizer and wine suggested by server were good choices.

We visited on a Thursday evening. It took about 5 minutes for anyone to acknowledge us when we arrived despite the hostess talking to a customer right near the entrance. Not a huge deal, but a bit surprising given the staffing and that the restaurant was not full. The soup and salad were great as was the bread and anchovy... More

Chef Kyle's food, as always, was superb! The specialty drinks on the menu augmented the meal perfectly. And the scenery was fantastic! We enjoyed our meal on a misty Northwest day - and loved it! Heaters and a cover on the deck kept us warm and dry, and the attentive server keep us fed and never without a drink! I... More

From the minute you pull up to Duck Soup Inn, you get a feeling that this place is very different than many other places on San Juan Island. It's quiet, it's in the woods, and it's a beautiful charming building that is very inviting. We made our reservations last minuet and we ended up on the deck, they apologized for... More

Let me explain why I have rated it as Average based on my dining experience. We ordered two entrees - one was good (but... More

This is the number one rated restaurant, and it was very good, but not great. The food was well prepared, but I could have done as well at home and it was very expensive!!

To visit to the Duck Soup Inn is really put yourself in the swing of island life in the San Juan/Southern Gulf Islands (same cluster of islands, just half (SJ) in the states and half (SGI) in Canada). The building is rustic but elegant, the staff are casual and friendly, and the food is locally grown but prepared with an... More

After dining this weekend in the used to be quaint little intimate restaurant, it has not improved at all with its new ownership. From its inception in the 70's as a quiet high quality establishment that focused on great service and wonderful atmosphere it has steadily declined to a "lets see how many tables we can cram in here and...
