This place is awesome! My brother lives right next door and is a regular for breakfast. All he and his roommate kept saying was "Sophie is the best, gosh we love Sophie, she's the reason we keep coming back". I don't know Sophie, but I can tell you that the food was stellar! The service is great, and the breakfast was incredible! The view of the lake is exactly what I needed while I was sipping coffee and eating my breakfast. They have a sweet deal for breakfast for 10 bucks, you'd have to be crazy not to take advantage of that! I heard a rumor this place was closing soon, so get in there while you still can and ask for Sophie!

The $27 steak was surprisingly really good, better than many "higher touted" steakhouses.

Great view on the deck of lake union. Incredible friendly service. Had the bourbon mustard meatloaf, my wife had the honey chicken, both were 10s. The band playing on the deck were accomplished musicians.

I cannot overstate how incredibly impressed we were with our entire experience at this wonderful place! I had originally made reservations for 10 people for 8pm. I called several times, needing to change the seat count. They were so accommodating and understanding. Their customer service went above and beyond when I frantically called them at 7p to tell them that the UW graduation ceremony we were attending was running late, asking if I could yet again increase the number in our party. Not only were they gracious, they called back to let us know that they closed at 10p so we needed to get in by then. We ended up adding 3 more people when we got there! The staff made it clear that we didn't have to rush and started taking our orders right away. I could not believe how efficient they were, bringing our drinks, refilling our waters, answering questions and working to make substitutions and modifications. Our food was absolutely delicious! Everyone was impressed by the quality and quantity of the food ordered. No mistakes made while serving 17 people! My steak was perfect! We have been fans of the Lake Forest Park Bar and Grill for years, so we suspected that this venue would be good, we just didn't realize how great our entire experience would be. We are definitely going to go back soon, even though it is further from home. I really cannot express how grateful we are for being able to celebrate our daughter's graduation with such ease. It had been a long but stressful day. We were all ready to enjoy each other's company, celebrate the grad and to eat some great food. All the boxes got checked, with added boxes at that!

Met friends for lunch at Eastside Bar and Grill on the recommendation of other friends!!! None of us had been to Eastlake Bar and Grill but I can tell you we'll all be back. We had a wonderful time, wonderful food, very friendly, helpful server ....I can't say enough in praise of the day and the place. We ate inside because it was the rainiest day Seattle has ever seen. It would be fun to eat outside next time. Must say the General Manager, Sarah, answered questions we had and helped me get a taxi home. Thank You, Sarah!! A very happy customer!!!! CLR

This place always satisfies. They have a nice variety on the menu and everything I've ordered has always been nicely presented and delicious. The view is nice and they have outdoor patio seating when the weather permits. One last plus is free, designated parking - not a lot of spaces but I've always been lucky and this is far better than most urban restaurants offer.

Omg this brunch is incredible!! They pack on that fresh avocado. This place is simply delicious.

I wish I could rate Eastlake Bar & Grill higher as their prices are reasonable and their view is pretty splendid for diners. They offer pickup and delivery (through apps like Caviar) options, and their website is a breeze to navigate. I made the mistake of ordering during the start of dinner rush, so I wasn't surprised when I was told my order would be a bit longer. With the marina nearby, I took a walk and waited for new pickup time. I went with their 12oz NY steak: standard sides are mashed potatoes and brussels sprouts, I subbed with fries and they subbed with asparagus as they were out of brussels sprouts. It was pretty well packaged, the steak was perfectly cooked but was pretty saucy. Which would have been fine except with the fries and asparagus packed in the same container, the fries ended up paying the price. Their maple bacon bread pudding sounded interesting, but I didn't realize just how much caramel (?) sauce would be on it. Holy sugar, Batman! The dessert would certainly be a dream for any individual with a sweet tooth. For $9 the portion size was great, but that sugary sauce was a bit overloaded. Maybe it was the overload of sugar or too much steak sauce, but the next day it didn't agree with my stomach. Even with the view and helpful staff, I don't believe I'll be rushing back.

This is a great place for what it is. A nice step or two above a dive bar, a great neighborhood place to drink, a rooftop patio looking over lake Union where you can drink, and decent food to eat while you drink. Had brunch today and didn't drink. Coffee was better than I'd hoped it would be. I like this place a lot. Friendly feeling.

This is THE BEST breakfast deal in all of Seattle. I almost feel like I'm robbing EB&G. If you go in before 11 AM, most of the breakfast items are $8.99 and include unlimited coffee!!!! The servers are so kind, and if you come a little after 11 they still always give you the deal. They also have a full bottle of champagne and orange juice for $14 or $15 which is such a steal. They also give you an individual bill every time, even if you're in a giant group which I appreciate so nobody has to put their card down for the entire meal. Also, you can pay off of a QR code on your receipt which is so easy. I am so sad to hear this place is closing in September, and you bet I'll be protesting outside during construction!!!!
Wow neat view....but the food, drinks, and sometimes service do not stand up to the prices. Our food came out super fast but luke warm like it had been sitting around even before we ordered it. And martinis were watery with too much vermouth. I love a beer and burger on the deck in the summer, but that's about all this place is good for.

Good vibes place with nice service and regular bar food. I had some fish and chips which were solid. Beer runs cold. Easy access spot also which makes it hard not to stop in for a Thursday beer.

I love Eastlake Bar & Grill. They have been one of my go to places with my mom. Their staff have always been nice and helpful and the price is reasonable with good portion sizes and a rotating seasonal "fresh list".I'm sad to see the sign about them closing soon to make way for gross condos but I will gladly support them while they are here.I hope the community comes out to support and enjoy a nice meal and a sunset. You might even see a seaplane landing.

Love this place! They happily support segregation by asking for your papers immediately upon entering. It makes me feel safe!
