- DDianneVIPSeattle / Eastern Washington •19 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 22, 2024Brunch was excellent here. The noise level noted (quiet) applies to brunch only as it is very loud at night. Food was excellent and well priced. Service was excellent. This will definitely be a new go-to brunch spot. Seating is hard and uncomfortable. Those with hip or back issues will want to bring their own seat cushionsfor comfort. I left earlier than desired as I couldn't sit on the bench any longerMore infoRock Creek Seafood & Spirits - KirklandPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Kirkland•4.5

Discover Kirkland
A quaint, tree-filled downtown leads to a sprawling waterfront, creating the perfect backdrop to Kirkland. Kirkland is one of Eastside Seattle's hidden gems; you can wander past fro-yo creameries and sinfully rich espresso bars on your way to the water or detour for a painting class that doubles as a wine tasting. Looking for something a little more wild? There is a rising food scene geared toward adventurous eaters, with restaurants clamoring to make wild boar tenderloin or a bit of braised rabbit easily available to diners. Round off your meal with some coffee and macaroons for dessert. Plenty of bars are open for nightcaps to complete your evening.
