Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Kirkland

The omakase experience was amazing, we will certainly try the bar section next time!

A great simple meal at the palace. I started with the brussels which were fab with a great citrus note. Then the burger, with bacon of course - perfectly cooked, juicy, with great flavor on a nice brioche bun, the shoestring fries were hot, crispy and salty -yum! Service was spot on and well paced. A really nice early dinner

The service and food was excellent! We had the ceviche trio sampler. They were all different and very tasty. We also had the Chicken Anticuchos, they were very flavorful, next time we will try the veal. I had one of my favorites entrees, Lomo Saltado, delicious! We took the chocolate cake home and that was to die for! We will definitely come back! The restaurant was very full on a Wednesday evening, but the service was great, everyone was very friendly and the atmosphere was lively. Great location!

Ambience excellent, wine pairings fantastic, tables a bit tight, but not so loud that you can't have a quiet conversation. Just the right amount of service. For special occasions, or if you are a veggie looking to learn and expand your cooking experience it is a must go.

When first booking the reservation, I didn’t know there were two different venues. Whiskey by John Howie and John Howie Steak. Whiskey by John Howie is has a more intimate setting and the menu is slightly different than its counterpart. However the steak options are the same. We had the USDA Filet Mignon and I have been ruined by any other steak following that experience! So render and flavorful, just melts in your mouth! The vegetable and potato sides are meant to share (didn’t know that either). It is a high $$$$ but worth it. Next time it’s John Howie Steak to compare!
