The Third Floor Fish Cafe has the three things a Kirkland restaurant is supposed to have: Location (as in downtown Kirkland, which is trying to become Carmel North), view (as in Lake Washington in the afternoon sun) and food, as in good food which, in its absence, would make the other two irrelevant.

Not that I'm criticizing. It's actually quite a good marketing ploy. At least you're assured your patrons won't get that lost on their way to dinner. read more...
