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.

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.

We went for the halibut fish and chips special. A great bargain. But the fries were terrible. They looked beautiful but they weren’t crisp and tasted like they had been prepared well in advance of being served. Service was very friendly and prompt. We love the lakeside location but the restaurant has become quite shabby. Time for a major facelift.

Lovely dinner on the patio. Great food and service! Took advantage of the Memorial Day weekend surf and turf deal - what a treat at such a reasonable price!

Eggs sunny side up were under cooked & they seem to have an ant infestation. There were so many ants on our table and on the windowsill.

It was Mother’s Day & very busy which made the great service even more impressive. Food was flavorful and well presented. Will definitely come back.
