Restaurants near Houghton Beach Park

I am a long time fan and customer of Carmine’s restaurants. I still go to the original Seattle location. But I also love the Bellevue location as well.. It is all not just good, it’s exceptional! Food, service, atmosphere, and overall ambience are of the highest quality. Truly a special place.

It was a great hidden gem with views of the water. The food was very flavorful and the ambiance was unique. Will come back again

Ashlan our server was attentive, bubbly and very professional! She flowed into our experience whenever needed and never overstayed her welcome. Pro! The manager on staff took an interest in us and that made us feel like there would be no mishaps with our experience, and there weren’t any. Everything went so smoothly and we felt so well cared for that we felt comfortable enough to volunteer embarrassing facts about ourselves. Ok I did, not my wife. 😂 It was an anniversary dinner to remember and be repeated. I’m confident we’ll be repeating it at Earl’s sooner rather than later.

From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for a treat, but nothing could prepare me for the delightful journey my taste buds were about to embark upon. We had the Causa Limena, a true testament to Peruvian cuisine! Each bite was a burst of flavor, rich and creamy, perfectly complemented by the tangy toppings. It was an explosion of textures and tastes that left me craving more. And then Tiradito Criollo, which was simply divine. The freshness of the fish was matched only by the vibrant flavors of the accompanying sauce. It was refreshing and savory, leaving my palate dancing with joy. The Lomo Saltado—a fusion of tender beef cooked to perfection with a delightful mix of vegetables, served over fluffy rice. The combination was nothing short of a party in my mouth! Each bite was a perfect harmony of flavors and textures, making it a dish I won't soon forget. We had Empanadas con Aji de Gallina, they were so good that we couldn't get enough! I had the Inca Kola, a nostalgic trip back to my youth. The sweet, almost indescribable flavor paired beautifully with the rich dishes, creating the perfect balance. For dessert, we couldn’t resist trying the Chocolate Cake and Tres Leches con Coco CON SUSPIROS! The sweetness was elevated to new heights with these delectable treats. The Picarones reminded me of my homeland—the perfect blend of flavors that transported me back home. What's even more special is that this was my husband's first experience at a Peruvian restaurant, and he couldn’t believe how amazing the food was. He’s now dreaming of moving to Peru just for the food! All in all, dining at La Mar Bellevue was more than just a meal; it was an event for the senses. Each dish dazzled, each flavor told a story, and we left feeling like we had just experienced a food festival in our own mouths. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough! Treat yourself to La Mar Bellevue—trust me, your taste buds will thank you!

Absolutely delicious, and such gorgeous low-key decor with a beautiful view. Artichoke app special was especially good, as was the ricotta cake. Easy parking situation too. Only issue is that it can get loud with a full house and large party in the private room.
