We opened The 3rd BluWater Bistro location in the Leschi neighborhood on March 13, 2004. Mick McHugh handed the reigns over to us after 22 successful years of running the Leschi Lake Café. With a slight remodel we cozy'd up the place, added some fantastic rollback windows, high back booths, some flat screen TV's, and leather furniture by the fireplace. The menu reflects all the goodness that a cozy bistro should offer, including the ever famous & popular "Lake Side Café" Fish and Chips... gotta keep the neighborhood happy. Stop in for some brunch on the weekends or some late night food.

The outdoor seating is particularly praised for its beauty. While the menu has some hits, like halibut specials, there have been mixed reviews about food consistency and service speed.

I’ve been to Bluewater Bistro many times and had an especially good time last week. Party of 8 at one of the round tables. Service was fast and he got everything correct. Food was perfectly prepared and Dessert was SUPER too. Also they seemed cleaner and new menus.

This was a special Thanksgiving menu. They offered Turkey, Prime Rib or Ham. There was no ham available at 6:45PM The dessert, pumpkin pie was served as a 1” wide slice. It was pumpkin pie, nothing extravagant. Service was slow. I love the location, but disappointed overall.

Nice Thanksgiving dinner with family and friends. Celebration salad was delightful! Turkey and fixings were on point. Prime rib had a bit too much fat. Gorgonzola and pear ravioli was a delightful choice for vegetarians! Very nice holiday meal!

BlueWater is a long time favorite of mine and my go to whenever I’m in Seattle. I’ve taken many friends and family to this location for lunch and dinner at random times throughout the week. I will continue to support this establishment because the food and service have always been very great! And what an incredible view of Lake Washington.

Very mediocre food in a frankly grubby restaurant. The worst BluWater I have been to.

Shelly has to be one of the best servers in Seattle. She’s kind, professional, and goes above and beyond. She was wonderful with my 9, 7, and 2 year old nieces and nephew. She even took time with them to make an oragami game with them after dessert. I honestly can’t remember the last time I received restaurant service in Seattle that was memorable. Shelly was genuinely remarkable!

Manager was using cuss words and inappropriate language and was wildly rude to customers. He seemed to be under the influence of narcotics and/or alcohol while on the job.
