About this restaurant

Great for scenic views
Neighborhood gem
Lively

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.

I frequent this establishment often and this is the first time I’ve had a bad experience with the food. The menu has changed and it’s not so appealing as before. They did make it right by providing a variety of desserts on the house. I will go again to see if there is any improvement

I ordered the NY steak and it was over done. The meat taste was awful. I then ordered the Ribeye and that was overcooked also. I cut it open it something didn’t look right. After that I had no desire to order anything else. The GM on duty didn’t come over to say anything to support his server’s embarrassment/disappointment. He just walked around fast with his head down, acted busy, and showed poor customer service by not caring what came out of his Chef’s kitchen. It was my mom’s 95th birthday dinner and the waiter brought her a piece of chocolate cake that was so dry she couldn’t even enjoy. We did appreciate the jester.

Wonderful meal and exceptional server and service (had a large group of 8). Nice that it had its own parking lot and a great view. First restaurant visit and first Open Table review

We are weekly diners at BluWater, but went to what is a special event for our family, 4th of July celebration with out-of-town visitors. We love Bluewater for the 4th: the Bellevue fireworks across the lake are spectacular! It was a lovely evening with delicious food and good table service.

Was greeted and seated promptly. Easy parking. Food served on time and was delicious. Nice touch was banana bread. We enjoyed our lunch and will be back.

The food took forever to come and when it did one meal was undercooked - like raw and the other was dried out beyond being able to eat. We sent both back. Never done this before. It was Father’s Day so understandable that it could get busy. But the food was that bad. The waiter never once came over to check in during this time - but we watched him walk past several times. Didn’t even come to see if we needed more water or another drink. Or say sorry for the delay - let me check on those meals. Or sorry the kitchen is slow. The only saving grace was that it’s a beautiful view while we waited those 45 minutes from the time we ordered. I’ll never go back nor will I never recommend this place. So many other great options in the Seattle area. Spend your money and your time waiting someplace else.

90 minutes to bring us our meal. Even for a holiday, that is very poor service.

Father’s Day. After 90min only 2/4 people received food. Finally gave up. We were not charged for the 2 missing meals.

We have been to Blu water several times. Portions are big and they are great about splitting dishes so people can share. My mom and I easily split an order of french toast and side of bacon and leave feeling full/satisfied. Can’t wait to visit again!

The server was awesome and so sweet and attentive. Food delish. Noisy but it was Father's day and it was expected. Sat by the window, great view and cool sunny breeze. Had a great time.
