Best Casual Restaurants in Kirkland

The menu here is varied and has several highlights depending on your tastes. They also have an interesting cocktail list but the wine by the glass is very limited. It's not obvious how to pick dishes off the menu regarding portion size and does not follow the traditional style . However sharing plates and mix and match gives this style something different. The drinks were very slow to be served and one main course not to our liking was removed from the final check. We were also informed on arrival that our table was for two hours only. That was a surprise and maybe that's enough time for some but we like to take our time over dinner and a $500+ bill. Overall it was good and we will return.

We had a wonderful Valentines dinner. The pre fix menu had many great choices. We chose: Lobster bisque, salmon caviar crostini, waygu NY Steak with a lobster tail and flourless choc cake. Butternut squash soup, buratta, lobster risotto and crème burley. Every item was cooked to perfection. I have never heard my husband give so much praise to how outstanding his steak was. The timing of each part of the 4 course meal was perfect. The musician played great music with out being to loud. Ryan our favorite server took great care of us. We will be back. Sparrow is our favorite neighborhood restaurant! (I forgot to include that there was a singe stemmed red rose on our table when we were seated which I thought was a very nice touch done for all guests)

We spent around $50 per person, it was busy because it was Valentines but the service was exception regardless!! Super kind servers and delicious food and drinks! We love coming here for date night, but when we come for birthdays or special events they always make it special. Joci (I hope I’m spelling that right) was our server and was so kind and attentive!

Love Hearth !! The menu changes slightly seasonally but always tasty and fresh thanks to their awesome chefs. We live a block away and dine there frequently. The staff and servers are excellent and friendly. The restaurant’s simple and lovely decor is wonderful too.

I t was a magical Valentine’s Day. We were seated in the quiet, romantic room(couples only) at a table looking out on the water.Lexie served us. She was absolutely excellent, always available, never intrusive. Our food was consistent with our experience at Anthony’s in Kirkland over the many years we have dined there - I.e. excellent! We selected for our entree, the Copper River Sockeye Salmon, served with mashed potatoes and broccolini and the chef’s own light sauce. Everything was cooked to perfection - the salmon was moist and flavorful. It was a busy evening for Anthony’s, but we never felt rushed or hurried. My husband and I have been married for over 61 years and have celebrated many memorable Valentines Days. This one was truly magical!
