We had reservations at 6:30 for nine of us to celebrate my birthday. We were seated promptly and attended by a very enthusiastic (but new?) waiter. \r
The table next to us was subsequently filled with ""famous"" local people. The manager himself and two waiters served them appetizers, cocktails, wine and dinner all evening while our dinners languished somewhere in the kitchen. \r
Our dishes were brought by our struggling waiter one plate at a time ..after the other table was served.\r
My daughter ordered the salmon special (with mango salsa) and got a special with lemon buerre. When questioned, the waiter avowed it to be the mango...\r
My mom and three friends had the grilled combo- the plates were cold and obviously had sat some time. The shrimp was so dry and chewy that my mom couldn't finish it. \r
My boil was very boiled...the clams and mussels were over done and the crab was dried out. The number of unopened mussels was about one quarter; the number of unopened but broken...hence ""not good"" mussels was large enough to flavor the dish (yuck).\r
The tuna etouffee was bland, pale, oily and lacked any of the traditional finishes: no sherry, no parsley, no lemon...nothing. \r
My husband's fish and chips was outstanding. My daughter's grilled salmon was fine.\r
My guests were too polite to complain- I wasn't aware of their discomfort until later. \r
Over priced, poor food and poor service. We will plan our celebrations elswhere.
Pros: on-site parking in Kirkland!
Cons: no reason to go
