About this restaurant

Great for scenic views
Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions

We opened The 3rd BluWater Bistro location in the Leschi neighborhood on March 13, 2004. Mick McHugh handed the reigns over to us after 22 successful years of running the Leschi Lake Café. With a slight remodel we cozy'd up the place, added some fantastic rollback windows, high back booths, some flat screen TV's, and leather furniture by the fireplace. The menu reflects all the goodness that a cozy bistro should offer, including the ever famous & popular "Lake Side Café" Fish and Chips... gotta keep the neighborhood happy. Stop in for some brunch on the weekends or some late night food.

What a great view, but the food isn't edible. Good spot for a drink but we would not recommend this restaurant for food.

Great location, multiple seating areas. Staff was terrific. Food is always good, solid, fresh, with a few interesting items that show up on the specials. I should eat here more often! One of my favorite places in Seattle, even after 40 years of eating out on an expense account.

Nasty. All the drinks had fruit flys in them. They removed them but no apology.

Showed up 10 min early, was told running behind. 20 min later asked again and watched someone who showed up 10 min after me get window seats while we were sat outside after the fact (3 week reservation was treated the same as walk-ins). Says it's formal wear or no entry, it wasn't at all, $230 for 2 meals and 2 drinks was seen by server 3 times in an hour. Food was fatty and cold. Table was tilted at angle because outdoor area is a coffee area not fine dining. Lived here my entire life, a coffee house shouldn't sell steak, terrible meal, terrible restaurant, terrible service, over priced. BETTER PLACES 30 SECONDS AWAY!!!
