- KSKenSSeattle / Eastern Washington •1 review5.0Dined on Jan 2, 2023It is very expensive restaurant and knew that when we made reservations, but there were a few items that I did think were over priced. I had a steak and added grilled prawns. The waiter said up front there were 2 prawns. There were gulf prawns on the menu, so I was assuming they were bigger gulf prawns that I was getting. No, my dinner came and they were normal small prawns. Those two small prawns were $18! That is outrageous. Everything was delicious and staff/waiter were great with a nice atmosphere waterfront view. Not many restaurant parking spots, so be aware if you are driving.More infoDaniel's Broiler - Lake Union$$$$• Steak• Lake Union / Eastlake•4.5
