I’ve been to this restaurant at least half a dozen times over the last five years or so, and I feel that it’s slowly declining in quality. Everything was “pretty good” except for the dessert, which was not great. We got the candy bar thing. I got one of the lavender gin drinks, and it was not done that well. Too much gin and was very plain looking. I’m a little afraid that things are slowly declining in this restaurant especially with respect to the menu and the drinks. It’s not bad - and it’s better than the average restaurant in the Tri-Cities, however, I don’t think it would take much to tweak things and improve. slowly declining.

About the restaurant

Our location brings out the best in fresh local seafood, dry aged beef, world-class wines and waterfront views - making The Restaurant at Alderbrook a destination in itself.

The interior setting of The Restaurant at Alderbrook takes its inspiration from the outdoors with warm colors of chocolate brown and sage green representing the gardens and lawn of the resort. Floor-to-ceiling windows and multi-levels amplify views of the brilliant shore and snow-capped peaks of the Olympic Mountains.

The cuisine showcases local seafood harvested from Puget Sound and Hood Canal. After all, our shores are encrusted with oysters, our docks lined with mussels, and our sea teems with salmon.

Beautiful setting makes this spot perfect for special occasions. Service is friendly but can be slow during rush hours. Food is decent though not exceptional, with limited vegetarian options. The real draw here is the stunning ambiance. While it won't blow you away with the cuisine, it's a solid choice for a memorable evening out, especially if you're after atmosphere over culinary excellence.

The ambiance here is inviting and warm. No blaring audio system, no TV's in the dining room. A truly comfortable place not trying to be something chic. A great place for a family meal, special occasion, or a business meeting. This is so hard to find these days with all the noise pollution and nearly every eating establishment I visit. All in all, Hook & Cleaver has escalated to one of my favorite restaurants in the area. With excellent service, great tasting food, and reasonable pricing, I can't really think of a better place! Other restaurants in the Western Washington should visit Hook & Cleaver to see how a restaurant with great service and a thoughtful staff make all the difference. The great tasting food is almost a bonus to the overall experience.

Leschi / Madrona / Madison Park

About the restaurant

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.
