“Fantastic food, the gumbo was some of the best. Halibut was very good, but small portions for the amount for what it cost. Black eye pea stew was terrific. Good wine selection. Everything was very tasty but expensive.”

Cafe Juanita 9702 NE 120th Pl, Kirkland Italian • $$$$
9702 NE 120th Pl, Kirkland

“So. This was awesome. I usually think these restaurants with the 5-courses and set menus and indecipherable foods/ingredients are pretentious, but this one actually has a good reason to be. I made a joke at the beginning of this dinner that I only respect an Italian restaurant if they bring out bread to the table, and guess what. They brought out bread! I chose the pescatarian menu and it was great. Started with a taster plate of soup/caviar cannoli/aged Parmesan and balsamic, then had raw yellowtail, bread, tajarin (angel hair sage pasta), endive salad, Seabream, blackberry thyme sorbet, passionfruit meringue, and then hazelnut ice cream affogato. I even probably forgot a few things in there, they just kept bringing food out. On top of all this, they had Charmin Ultrasoft in the bathroom. Unbelievable. That’s how I know they cared about me. This is the place to go if you’re looking for a fun and crazy food experience and you’re deciding between this place and Canlis or some other of this genre of restaurant.”

DERU

DERU 723 9th Ave, Kirkland Pizza • $$
723 9th Ave, Kirkland

“This has been on my list to visit for years but never made it! Big mistake as the food is fantastic!!Parking: Small parking lot and surrounding neighborhoodPet friendly: UnknownFamily friendly: YesFOOD:1. Garlic Bread (House focaccia, garlic confit, seeds, parmesan. Served with olive oil and balsamic) $12.00: 3 Star – I really wanted to love this bread as its different that make them unique to DERU. The garlic confit is very tasty but I think they had TOO much seeds that it covered a lot of the taste. I love focaccia but I don’t think it’s the right “bread type” for garlic bread. Focaccia is this heavenly squishy cloud bread but I want my garlic bread to have a crusty crisp exterior but super soft interior for the textural difference.2. Roast Beef Sandwich – Full (House herb focaccia, house herb crusted roast beef, gruyere, arugula, bacon onion jam, celery root aioli and house herb aioli) $18.00: 4 Star – See a focaccia is perfect for a sandwich bread! This was a tasty sandwich BUT it looked and tasted similar to the Chicken sandwich. The only difference was the protein.3. Roasted Chicken and Goat Cheese Sandwich – Full (House herb focaccia, roasted herb marinade chicken, goat cheese spread, house red onion marmalade, arugula, house herb aioli) $17.50: 4 Star - bread bread bread! I had to say that because I what else can you say about a good focaccia sandwich bread ?. I still stand by the fact that visually and even taste, it was very similar to the roast beef. Too light on the goat cheese as you couldn’t really tell it was there.4. Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting – slice $12.00: 5-Stars - OMG this carrot cake was so delicious! The only other time I’ve had an amazing life changing carrot cake was at DW Bistro in Las Vegas (yes it was life changing because until that point I did not like carrot cake). The texture was so moist and the perfect denseness (real words). The frosting was just sweet enough that it paired so well with the cake. ::Chef Kiss::DRINKS:Salted Caramel Latte (Espresso with steamed Milk and DERU Salted Caramel Sauce) $6.00: 4 Stars - first sip, I thought it was tasted like super water down coffee but I took my friend’s advice and just do a slight stir even though it’ll ruin the latte art. The perfect kiss of Salted Caramel Latte to the must needed caffeine, even more so as I went on a breezy day and decided to sit outside.MENU/RESTAURANT:I love their menu! Its very bistro style and you can tell it’s a place that serves local, clean, simple ingredients in the most fabulous way.For some reason, I have no idea why I thought this restaurant was in DT Kirkland. Its not far but as I drove, I thought my GPS was misdirecting me. To my surprise I found myself in a neighborhood with a small restaurant. There is small indoor and small outdoor seating which explains why its first come first serve. To be honest, this is really one of the reasons why I haven’t gone due to the lack of ability to make reservation.SERVICE:This is really a 3 part review…1. The in person staff is super friendly and will constantly check on us.2. You can order remotely via the QR code at the table OR you can go to the front and order directly. We originally thought to use the QR code since it seemed easier but when it came to ordering a slice of carrot cake it wasn’t even an option. I had to go to the front anyway and was told that oh for the carrot cake you need to come to us… why bother with the app than..?3. Their remote waitlist - I actually tried to go back for a 2nd visit but when I joined their remote waitlist for a party of 7, it told me it was 225 minutes which made us go somewhere else and lo and behold an hour later I got a text saying my table was ready… seriously…”

“It's been years since I was a regular at the Beach House on Kirkland waterfront. I made reservations for two as I had a client I wanted to take out for a chillaxing environment with good food and drinks ???. Upon arriving I hope the hostess that I would like to give up my reservations and I can sit at the bar. They were happy as it was going to be a busy Sunday morning. I was greeted by Dan and Madelynn. Love the positive vibes ✨️ and excellent customer service skillset. My cranberry mimosa's and food was amazing and wow did it get busy at the Beach House and it was cool to see Dan and Madelynn handle their business like true professionals. My client failed to come due to a hangover but, I will be back with more clients and friends in the near future. Keep up the good work Kirkland Beach House. You are the best on Kirkland waterfront.

“One of my favorite restaurants for over 5 years now! The owner, assuming he is, you’ll probably know who I’m talking about because he’s the most attentive one there and has the memory of a god haha, he’ll remember you and what you ordered for weeks, months, years! Even if you don’t come in for a month or so he’ll still remember you when you do and I’ve had him remember certain favorites of mine after months of not being able to come in! Super nice guy and reasonably priced food, I miss the conveyor belt so much though, but love this place!Wheelchair accessibility: I’ve come here with a walker before, they have bar seating at the ends and chairs can be moved out of the way to be able to sit in a wheelchair. I’ve sat in the booth and had my walker moved off to the side without an issue.”

Isarn Thai Soul Kitchen 170 Lake St S, Kirkland Thai • $$
170 Lake St S, Kirkland

“Our family comes here pretty much every weekend. They have an excellent happy hour even on weekends. We have tried almost all the items on the menu and I don’t think there is anything that disappointed. The menu isn’t big, so hopefully they will change it up routinely. Really wish they served pineapple fried rice because that is my son’s go to dish at a Thai restaurant. My favorite dish that makes this restaurant stand out from other thai restaurants is their Chiang Mai Curry Noodles. My 5 year old daughter’s favorite is their lemongrass wings, she could probably eat 10wings if I didn’t stop her, and I can’t blame her they are amazing. So are the isarn mini wings, but they have a small kick to it so my kids don’t eat them. Summer is coming and I know I will be eating a lot of their crying tiger salad and papaya salad, both are so refreshing and tasty.The location is great, the service is great, the ambience is great, the pricing and servings are also great. Definitely give this restaurant a try, you won’t regret it.Parking: Definitely hard to find parking on weekends and when the weather is nice”

“We went for lunch - In short words: Great service, Nice ambience, OK foodService: was super nice, the lady (forgot to ask her name) was very patient and nice to explain the dishes, what it's made of etc.. and she kept checking on us etc..Food: we ordered Dim'er devil, Kolkata chicken biriyani, Machar something(forgot entire name), gobi manchurianDim'er devil: The best I liked is this - very very flavorful snack! (something i would consider for a next time buy again)Kolkata chicken Biryani: was next - a standard north style biryani, nice fluffy rice, with a sweeter note (than spice). It was nice, had some nice flavor to it (much better and authentic than some of the (north) Indian restaurants out there)Machar in banana leaf: The lady said, it's good but Bengali style (i think she was trying to warn me - but I wanted to try local cuisine). So, if u are into intense mustard and turmeric taste buds, then you may like it. Personally, I felt the mustard overpowered the actual dish(fish - the fish had 0 flavor of a fish btw) - so it was just OK for me. I wouldn't buy it next time (coz I only get mustard taste in my mouth). But if that is what is the authentic Bengali flavour, then it's one of their best made.Gobi Manchurian: So, this would be debatable. If you are someone who like the street based gobi manchurian (i.e. the one with thick vinegar based (sweet and sour) sauce, then you may like this. I preferred/expected more of an indo-chinese gobi manchurian (i.e. less vinegar based, but soy/sweet/sour/garlic mix if sauces), so not in my next time list.Overall food was OK, and/but portions were less (except biryani - decent portion) - from the dishes I bought, I would rate 3.75/5. But am waiting for buffet to reopen to try out more and see where it would stand.”
