Lynn's is where we go for dinner when we want a very quiet atmosphere with predictably excellent food. We know that we will never be disappointed. The menu varies jut enough so that you can often have your favorite, or something seasonal and new. Lynn does a wonderful job with fish, and her scalloped potatoes are to die for. The... More

My family and I celebrated my birthday at Lynn's Bistro. It was our first visit. We got off to a rough start due to overbooking, but the staff and owner took great care of us and were VERY apologetic for the wait. Everyone in our party ordered off the fixed price menu. The food was absolutely wonderful. Both the crab... More

Our plans for the wedding were changed last minute, and we had to get a caterer. Lynn was great. She accommodated our needs. Was very patient with us, because we couldn't decide what exactly we wanted and how we wanted it. Long story short. Food was super tasty, she find 2 servers for us last minute and they did a... More

My wife and I tried this place out recently and it was just about a perfect dining experience. A small, charming, cozy little restaurant with food that was both tasty and tasteful, with sensible portion sizes. I had the Manhattan, a salad, the crab cakes and the bread pudding from the Prix Fixe selections, while my wife had the salmon... More

A quaint and charming place in Kirkland area that has absolutely one of the best fresh food around, period. I love the soups on the menu, the fresh out of the oven warm bread rolls are addictive, the lamb, the filet mignon, duck and seafood dishes are among my favorites, all the other menu items are delicious and prepared with...

Lynn is the chef-owner of this small bistro, and she is a wonderful chef! Her onion soup is mouth watering as were he other dishes at my table, including a fish dish and a crepe dish. This is fresh, well-prepared food at its nicest.

The chef is amazing. This is one of my favorite french restaurants in this area. It is a small restaurant, so make sure to make reservation ahead of time. The lamb dish, french onion soup, crab cakes are really awesome.

Lynn's Bistro is a modest looking place, but the food is wonderful. We realized while eating that the last time we had French food this good was in Paris and it was a lot more expensive in Paris. We each had the prix fixe dinner, 3 courses for $35. Extremely tasty chicken, nice, tender, small steak cooked exactly as requested.... More

Ever since The Crepe du Paree closed in downtown Seattle I have been searching the areas around Puget Sound for a comparable restaurant to no avail. But then one day a friend mailed to me Lynn's business card. My husband and I were anxious to try out this French restaurant as though our very lives depended upon it. We invited... More

The restaurant looks very modest from outside. However, the French cuisine with slight Vietnamese influence is absolutely different from anything we had anywhere. It is relatively inexpensive for formal luncheon and great value for the money if you come fro early-bird dinner when they have special price for 3 course dinner. Lynn is a great chef and very warm person.... More
