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.

    Great place to meet for cocktails. The fireplace is especially nice on a winter late afternoon - evening.

    Very mediocre food in a frankly grubby restaurant. The worst BluWater I have been to.

    Shelly has to be one of the best servers in Seattle. She’s kind, professional, and goes above and beyond. She was wonderful with my 9, 7, and 2 year old nieces and nephew. She even took time with them to make an oragami game with them after dessert. I honestly can’t remember the last time I received restaurant service in Seattle that was memorable. Shelly was genuinely remarkable!

    Manager was using cuss words and inappropriate language and was wildly rude to customers. He seemed to be under the influence of narcotics and/or alcohol while on the job.

    Very poor service and the quality of the food was definitely not what it used to be. Disappointing overall.

    Convenient, casual location with parking. Food is good but not outstanding. Water views are exceptional. Inside dining can be loud at times.

    We've experienced BluWater Bistro three times now. Each time we've had a different server and tried different entrees. Bluntly, the service was excellent and the food tremendous. My wife and I have found our favorite restaurant.
