10 Best Cocktail Bars in Kirkland

“My wife and I have come here for the drinks and occasionally truffle pommes frites or some oysters, but this time we tried some of the other menu items for dinner. My wife got the Halibut (Chapter 6) and I got the Mushroom Pasta dish. (Chapter 5)

I asked Casey if he recommended the mushroom dish and he said it was one of his favorites. I'm not a foodie, so I don't get overly excited over food but let me tell you... It was so good that it prompted me to write a review about it. I actually felt an endorphin rush from eating it! My wife loved the halibut, (which I also tried) and I would say getting her to eat fish is usually a challenge unless her fisherman father prepares it!

I would recommend a Manhattan or Old Fashioned, which Casey also pointed me towards some new Rye to try. Fantastic as always!

I had placed an order for oysters but apparently they were forgotten, but I was so enamored with the mushroom dish that I didn't even care. Casey offered them to me on the house as he felt bad, which was a very nice gesture. I wasn't upset at all!

Now we would like to try all the other dishes, because if both meals were that good, how can they miss with anything else?

I didn't take photos of the food because I inhaled it :)

Thanks Casey and the rest of the staff for great service and amazing food/drinks!“

“The restaurant is beautiful - lots of cool design elements! The staff were all extremely kind and attentive, and we felt well taken care of. We really enjoyed the food, most of all! It tasted super fresh, had lots of flavor, and came out incredibly quickly. Prices were pretty reasonable, especially for the location. Highly recommend and we will absolutely be back!“

“Went to the soft launch tonight and honestly have no critiques food was so delicious and the drinks too! Friendly service an amazing atmosphere 12 out of 10 recommend“

“Simply the best sushi place I've ever been to. I've been here 4 times in the last month, and it's been an incredible experience ever single time. Staff is friendly, the chef is quick, and the menu is unique filled with creative rolls that you just won't find in other places. With a rotating beer tap that has something new every time, this place will continue to be #1 and keep us coming back.“

“Great service and very good food. Lovely outdoor patio.“

“The food is great and the service is even better. Sam is a wonderful attentive server who anticipated my needs and those of my 12-year-old son. He was managing during our visit but took the time to greet us, check in on us and make sure each dish was perfect.“

“Love Chris! Love cranking’ music while I’m here and I love the vibe! And big ups for proudly displaying the American Flag on the wall! One of my Homes away from Home! 🇺🇸🇺🇸“

“Great, classic bar in DT Kirkland. Bartenders are awesome!“

“Red curry with salmon was tasty. Was pleasantly surprised that they put an actual chunk of fillet in the curry. Prices weren’t too bad either. The ginger beer was kind of disappointing tho, seems like they just mixed ginger extract with syrup instead of actually brewing it.“

“We visited this place for the second time. The first time, the service was terrible, so we decided to come back a year later and give it another chance.
I will say upfront that this specific pasta was very tasty. However, as soon as the server placed the plate on the table, I noticed a hair in it. We were very hungry, so I quietly removed it and didn’t say anything
The service was also quite slow, likely because there were only two servers working the dining room, and it felt like we were forgotten at times. We waited a very long time for dessert, and later noticed that two desserts were added to our bill instead of one. I think this was probably because the server was overwhelmed and made the mistake in a rush
The view of the water is incredible, and the Italian food is delicious, but the service is what really brings this place down in rating“
