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.

    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!!!

    Jammed into a corner where a pool table used to sit by an open door. Clear they over booked for the holiday and it made everything terrible. Ordered a themed drink that was advertised. It seemed like it was a premixed drink as my wife asked for hers to come with half the sweetener. The server said she added extra lime so it wouldn’t taste as sweet…

    We were here on Valentine’s Day. They really played up a “fine dining” experience on their ad, but it was definitely just a pub with lawn chairs brought in so they could squeeze in as many people as possible (my dad was literally sitting on a patio chair that was put at our “nice” table (it was a wobbly coffee table). It was just way too packed - the table next to us could barely get out because our chairs blocked her into the corner! It was crazy. Because it was clearly overbooked, service was terribly slow. Definitely not somewhere to go for a “nice” dinner and definitely not on a day like Valentine’s Day. That is just not their thing. The food was okay, nothing to write home about. Overall, would not recommend if you’re looking for a nicer meal. Maybe a casual brunch.

    BlueWater’s daily specials are an excellent value. (They make it up on cocktail prices.) Good portion sizes & high quality ingredients. Fried chicken special could have been more highly seasoned.
