We've been here twice now for birthday dinners and will be back. Friendly understated service, good to kids though definitely not a kids restaurant, excellent raw options and well-prepared fish dishes. The sauces can drown out the flavors of the fish, so I take them on the side. Innovative deserts.

Excellent restaurant for both Lunch and dinner. Usually pretty busy but they seem to be able to accommodate as needed. Salmon or scallops is a must.

This is my husband and my favorite restaurant in Bellevue. The service is good, the ambiance is nice, and the food is unique. The flavors in the seafood dishes are superb. Great place to take out of town visitors to get a great example of Northwest cuisine.
