Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Kirkland

The food was simply outstanding. This was my second time there in two weeks. Try Cebiche Tasting sampler, el trio tiraditos and different sides like tacu tacu, fried rice, they are all super tasty and flavorful and so are the yucca fries. The sauces are fantastic. For the main course we tried California halibut prepared the Peruvian way and it was delicious and the quantity good enough for 5. Only ding is limited dessert options, but you are so full by the time you get there you may not want one :)

We had a lovely evening. Food was excellent with such interesting complexity. Service was attentive. Music selection was great.

We (family of 4 adults) ate brunch here the midmorning after Christmas and really enjoyed our meal. The food was very good, the service was attentive and courteous and the ambiance excellent. We lingered over our meal for almost 2 hours and felt the staff didn’t try to rush us out. Highly recommended.

The food, service and ambience were fine. Being a John Howie restaurant, we weren’t surprised by the high prices. Two cocktails, two starters, two steaks with no sides, and two glasses of wine were almost $300. We were surprised, however, at the 20% service charge on the bill that goes entirely to John Howie. Their explanation was that they pay their staff well and give them benefits. There was a typical place for a tip on the check. Had we added a typical 20% tip, we would have paid over $100 in add-ons plus $35 tax which included tax on the service charge. This certainly put a damper on our enthusiasm for this restaurant. $400+ for the above listed food is certainly not worth it.

Mindy was phenomenal. We had not seen her since 2019 at her former establishment. She was kind, warm, and utterly professional. We will return again.
