"The restaurant was 1/2 empty when we got there, but we still had to wait 10 minutes to be seated for our reservation. The service was okay and the food was no better. First time there... I won't be going back."

"New arrivals in Kirkland we have found a great restaurant within walking distance of our home. I think Juanita Bay Cafe needs to be put on notice 'cause when your chef produces such great food as we ate last night, the knives are out!"

"I have been to Bin a couple times before and always found the food to be excellent. This time, we were a bit disappointed. While still good, they no longer had the amazing pork chop on the menu that I remember...a pork chop so good that I would go back just to order that one thing. This time around, there wasn't much on the menu that interested me. I had the scallops, which were nice, but too expensive for what they were. I understand they have a new chef (as of 6 weeks ago), so I might give it one more go in a couple months to see if it's improved. Oh, and although the ambience is nice with a gorgeous view of Lake Washington, the place is dead by about 9:30pm. We were there on a Saturday, and by 9:30PM we were almost the last table there"

"I came here for my birthday dinner. We ordered off of the 3 for 30 menu. It took our server about 20 mintues to greet us and ask for our orders. It took another 30 minuets to receive our entree after our appetizers and another hour before we received our desert. I never seen such slow service in such a nice restaurant ."

"Very nice restaurant. Food is great, terrific view of Lake Washington and service is excellent. Validated indoor parking is an added plus - particularly when it's raining this time of year. One of our favorite spots!"
