Yarrow Bay Grill has got a fantastic view into Lake Washington. Apparently, boats even dock out in front of the restaurant and come inside for a drink downstairs or a meal upstairs at the grill. The restaurant did feel a bit crusty, and it never quite filled up on the Wednesday night that we were there.
Our service was impeccable, and of course we enjoyed the views into the lake. I expected gastronomic grandeur based on the setting, service, menu (and prices). I had the hazelnut crusted lamb rack with a pomegranate demi and my wife ordered the Thai seafood stew. The lamb rack was very thick and overall quite good, but it just didn't stand out among the better lamb racks I've had. The same could be said for the seafood stew.
The blackberry lime meringue that I had for dessert was in fact extraordinarily good.
