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.

Restaurant is our go to Restaurant as it is a neighborhood restaurant. Most of the time, the food is great. However, on NY Eve, my food was terrible. I asked for the end cut, and it came as a leather sole! I know it was a busy night, but good/great restaurants make sure their food is consistently good no matter how busy they are! We should have stayed home that night!

As usual, Bluwater Bistro provided a festive holiday dinner at an exceptional price. Lobster was great! Prime rib was a little bit over cooked.

The Christmas dinner was very good. There was a lot of food. So much so that take away containers were needed.

The food was very good, large portions. Our waitress was very friendly and tentative. There was no wait time to be seated and our waitresses came over within 5 minutes (after we were seated) to take our drink orders. The food was flavorful (except for the stuffing, but then I only love my mom’s stuffing!😉). The Carrol singers were hard to hear although that may have been because the level of the noise from the crowd was a bit loud. The servers that brought our meals were very tentative and kind. Overall we all had a wonderful experience and we will definitely comeback for the New Year’s celebration!!!

Food was super cold, you could literally tell the order in which thefood was put on the plate with the difference in temperatures. Christmas Eve, yes but service was trash, forgot our appetizers and didn’t check in on us once, got things wrong. I understand no one is perfect but if you can’t handle a Christmas service as a restaurant then don’t do one.

Excellent view of water and service. The food was a bit bland, however. Both my friend and I ordered a veggie egg dish, which looked great per description, but the flavor profile was flat. Perhaps other menu item would have been better?

This has been my go-to restaurant for visitors and special occasions and every-day occasions as well. Always friendly staff, free parking, my kind of music, great food at affordable prices. Save room for dessert!

I’ve been to Bluewater Bistro many times and had an especially good time last week. Party of 8 at one of the round tables. Service was fast and he got everything correct. Food was perfectly prepared and Dessert was SUPER too. Also they seemed cleaner and new menus.

This was a special Thanksgiving menu. They offered Turkey, Prime Rib or Ham. There was no ham available at 6:45PM The dessert, pumpkin pie was served as a 1” wide slice. It was pumpkin pie, nothing extravagant. Service was slow. I love the location, but disappointed overall.

Nice Thanksgiving dinner with family and friends. Celebration salad was delightful! Turkey and fixings were on point. Prime rib had a bit too much fat. Gorgonzola and pear ravioli was a delightful choice for vegetarians! Very nice holiday meal!
