Canyon Grill is a beautiful spot on the Yakima River. In summer the huge glass doors are open to create a section that is indoor/outdoor. The food is delicious and the staff, kind, interesting and very efficient. It was a wonderful lunch get away with my elderly parents.

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.

We do not understand why this restaurant is not busier than it is . It is way above average for this type of restaurant but with one factor that blows it over the top. - THE VIEW!! Why not eat at a restaurant that has great service, excellent food and one of the greatest views in the world. It never disappoints.

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.

The view is nice. The restaurant was a bit chilly with all the doors and windows open. Food was ok, but a bit overpriced for the quality. Service was good.

Lovely day to enjoy a seafood lunch overlooking the marina. Great setting and ambience; restaurant is nicely appointed and well laid out. Caesar salad was good but a little too cheesy for my taste. Bouillabaise soup was very good - my first time with a creamy base but quite tasty. The cod and salmon were delicious as were the rest of the seafood. Overall, an outstanding meal which was pleasantly surprising since it’s in such a touristy area.

The food was good, but the entrees were small. However, the bowl of soup my wife and I each had with our entree was surprisingly generous.
