    We had the steelhead once before. It was fantastic then, not so much this time. Otherwise everything was great. I do wish more people would adhere to the business casual dress code. People in shorts and sweatpants don’t fit in.

    I’ve been to Seastar many times over the years, and I’ve never been disappointed. It’s a wonderful restaurant, for a nice dinner out or a celebration. I look forward to my next visit.

    I can't say enough about how great our dinner was at Seastar. I had a group of 9 work colleagues for dinner and the service was impressive. We never had an empty drink! Water glasses were filled constantly. We ordered the seafood tower which was delicious. You get a taste of everything. I will be dreaming about my blood orange scallops forever. Desserts were unique and delicious. Thank you!!!

    Seastar is still providing elevated dining and exceptional service after more than 20 years in Bellevue. Manager Michelle and server Alana were awesome! Halibut ceviche, Sea Scallops with blood orange, and Hawaiian Opaka paka were all outstanding. The wine list is second to none and Seastar is hitting all the high notes more than two decades after putting Bellevue on the fine dining map. Cheers to you!
