Top 50 things to do and attractions in Kirkland

I love eating lunch here or just walking around. This Marina in the heart of Kirkland hosts, many ducks and mild waves. You can walk out on the dock or sit on one of many benches or picnic tables. It is also host to Kirkland’s farmers market on Wednesdays, June through September from 3 to 7 PM. There are beautiful views of Lake Washington and you can see all the way over to Sandpoint and downtown Seattle along with several large sculptures.

It’s a beautiful beach park, along with a dock of boats. The sunsets look amazing here.

The atmosphere is lovely—strong sun, strong wind. You can take a walk or sit and relax at the very end of the yacht pier (with caution).

So beautiful. So clean and very well maintained. Beautiful views.

Beautiful and serene, turn around from the water front and you have food, coffee, clothing and salons to peruse

Another recreation place to stop by in Kirkland. Good beach for swimming in summer time.

Took out the Duffy Boats for a ride. It was a beautiful day to be on the water. Best water ride around the Seattle/Eastside area. #Kirklandduffyboats

Great place to catch a bird of prey doing what they do. Also so many more beautiful things to see.

Absolutely wonderful place to take a nature walk and see lots of different birds and wildlife. Great for photographers! It's a very well maintained park with restrooms. The big issue can be off leash dogs, random piles of dog poop that haven't been picked up, and underground bee nests.

It's a beautiful and serene spot. The long wooden deck that extends over the lake is the highlight, offering a fantastic place to walk and enjoy the views. The park is very quiet and feels like a peaceful escape. I saw many people with cameras, and it's easy to see why—the views of the lake and the surrounding greenery are stunning. There’s a convenient parking lot and a restroom at the entrance, which is a big plus. I also appreciated the long path with benches that leads north to another park and shopping area. This is a perfect place for a relaxing stroll and some great photos.

This is my happy place! Such a precious place!! Many impressive birds (eagles, osprey) and other wildlife like beavers and otters. Truly urban wildlife at its finest.

A good place to walk with my dog. The trails are easy and scenic.

Easily my favorite beach park to go to for a long walk and a view. Paddle boarding is accessible and affordable at this beach. The short walk through the woods allows a new perspective of the wildlife. I saw a blue heron there once! Parking can be crowded so the overflow lot is helpful. I wish they had a dog park area for my dogs to play!

Not a good park. Not maintained properly. Evening time is peaceful here.

It gets extremely busy on sunny days, and parking often fills up quickly—plus, it’s limited to 4 hours. The atmosphere can get noisy with many visitors playing their own music. That said, the playground is well-maintained, and the bathroom facilities are excellent. The pier is especially lovely around sunset, offering beautiful views and a peaceful moment away from the crowd.

Super cute park. I only had time for a short stroll, but I loved that there was parking and there appeared to be restrooms. The pathways seemed well maintained. It was a great place for an early morning walk before the day got to be too hot. I look forward to exploring the park more extensively 😊

It’s more of a local park, without any water sports facilities, and mainly suited for casual summer activities like picnicking and sunbathing. The park has outdoor showers, clean restrooms, and a designated area for small family gatherings, suitable for groups of up to ten people.

Great place for families and kids. Sandy's beach, great playground, places for celebrations, nice bride, the water is transparent. All is clean

Absolutely beautiful park with a separate parking area, beach area, playground for younger and older kids, restrooms and water foundations. It really is gorgeous here and you can even find blackberry bushes along the walking path. On cloudy days however it can be a bit windy so bring a jacket 🧥

On the beach with a walkway on Lake Washington enclosing the swimming area, very nice. Fair amount of parking in the lot with plenty of overflow across the street. Friday Farmer's Market uses the overflow, worth checking out in the Summer.

This park has it all. Playarea, beach, green areas, a pier that circles around the water for some great photography.

Fantastic trail for an easy walk specially with small kids or if you're out of shape lol! There's a couple of playgrounds and some benches to contemplate the sunset.

Well marked. Hidden gem. I walked on a cold week day so there wasn’t a lot of people. Quiet for such an Interurban trail.

2 hours biking from totem lake to Bellevue

This trail is crazy! Feels like you are way out in the county. Lush trees, flat gravel, perfect for walking, bikes, families, commuting, bird watching... Right through Kirkland up to totem lake.

A very nice old railroad grade trail for walk, jog and biking. It goes for miles and miles with nice urban and woods mix. It can get dusty and you have to be wary of speeding evehicles.

Great bike and pedestrian trail free from all the cars of the city. Btw once it goes into Bellevue at its southern end, what's it called? The light rail looks to be terminating it just before whole foods.

My friends love it. It is safe and easy enough for beginner.

Good for a quick walk. Pier is nice. Be aware of bird poop all over the grass and beach areas though.

Worst beach I’ve ever been to. The water is contaminated and the bathrooms are closed. You can’t go swimming right now and even dogs could get sick from algae! Don’t waste your time.

This is a beautiful water-front park with a walking trail along the beach and options for water activities like kayak & standup paddle boarding. There’s also a volleyball court on the beach and a kids playground area. Benches are located all over and is a good spot for picnic. We came during the sunset and sat on the pier - it was very beautiful. Amenity like toilets are available too.

I like this place to relax and enjoy the sunset

Awesome beach park with small parking lot. Easy accessibility to water. You can play in water, swim, boat or do kayaking. Kayaking stuff is available on rent. You may enjoy Sun rise or Sun set on a good day. Take a hot shower after your swim 😊. Kids will enjoy in water, park and Roll on beautiful grass scape.

Beautiful view, calm, area. nice place to spend your evenings mornings close to nature away from the hustling bustling city. Watch out for duck/ goose poo on the lawn, no restaurants or eating options at walking distance. So if you need snacks for the evening or for kids, carry your own or get take away on the way. Restrooms were closed for some reason.

Such a beautiful place for a walk on a sunny day. We took our dogs along and a throw and sat on the lawn. The views are really good and makes for a good sunset view point. It can get really crowded on weekends, especially when the sun's out. Suggest going on weekdays to have more peace and quiet. Also, dogs must be on leash all the time and cannot enter the water.

Decent trails for an easy, nature walk. We did the coyote trail which is the longest at around 3.7 miles and took us about 70 mins to finish. Trails are shared by folks walking, running, and riding horses - so watch out for narrow sections and horse poop. Wasn't overly busy on the weekend. Dog friendly. Adequate parking.

One thing I loved about this park is the marker post throughout the park, which provided a map on the top that let you know exactly where you were at in the park while hiking. I gave it a three because there was a lot of horse manure in the middle of the walking/hiking trails. It is mostly shaded so it is is nice in summer months.

It’s amazing to have such a beautiful park right in the city. It’s quiet, clean, and perfect for a peaceful walk. My dog and I really enjoy coming here together. 😍

Bridle Trails State Park is a lush haven for equestrians, hikers, and nature lovers alike. Located in the heart of Kirkland, this 482-acre park offers 28 miles of well-maintained trails, perfect for horseback riding, hiking, and running. The park's dense forest and serene atmosphere provide a peaceful retreat from the urban surroundings. With its equestrian focus, you'll often see riders enjoying the beautiful scenery. Whether you're on foot or horseback, Bridle Trails State Park is a wonderful place to connect with nature and enjoy outdoor activities. Pick any of the three trails to your liking!

Very big and it’s amazing that such a large green space is in the middle of Kirkland *Lots of horse poop so you spend a bit of time looking down not up at nature

- The horse poop Trail - Hubby and I decided to take an afternoon hike here, and we had no clue it's a state park and a discovery pass is required. We parked at the parking lot closer to the entrance, and we bought an annual discovery pass. Other than the starting incline, there is nearly no inclination for this trail. It's rather family friendly if your kids aren't afraid of horses or horse poops as I saw two horses and gazillion poops. It's funny how there is a sign that identifies the differences between horse poop and dog poop lol. The whole trail is shaded except for a small part. There are three recommended routes and the signs are quite obvious, but it's also easy to walk elsewhere as there are so many routes in this park. We were going for the middle length route, but ended up finishing the bigger loop instead and it took a bit more than an hour. There were also tons of salmonberries next to the trail that's perfect for a healthy snack for your "hike" xD!

Great walk in the park for finding some mushrooms. Was there with a guide who knew what to look for and we found many. Some are edible. There is a good maintained toilet at the beginning of the park. Saw many people running along the trails and other who walked the dogs. Met one lady with a basket who was picking mushrooms too. Good season for mushrooms in September and October.

There is a long pier with ladders for swimming. Water is clean and transparent. If you have kids this place would be perfect for them because of playground. I recommend this beach for family rest, but remember that parking lot not so big. People often leave their car on the road in summer.

Beware. Unrealistically restrictive for swimming. We came with our family to enjoy the lake on a hot day. Despite being in the designated swimming area, with a life jacket on, standing right next to my son, with lifeguards on duty, we weren’t allowed to swim beyond a ankle level cutoff 1 meter from the shore. The water was ankle depth for my 5 year old son and the shallow area was covered in algae. We are very safety conscious individuals, but the lifeguards only care about liability, not about safety.

It’s close to our home and easy to get to. Parking can be a nightmare, but we love how close the water, pier, and playground areas are.

Very scenic and tranquil park with amazing views (including that of Mount Rainier), and really cute park benches for just relaxing and soaking in the views! Weather was perfect when we visited in early June and we got an amazing view of Mount Rainier from here. The whole place was really bustling as well which was great, and the restrooms were clean and well-maintained with well replenished supplies (toilet paper, hand soap)! Overall a rather small but nice, well-maintained and cozy park worth visiting! You can also consider incorporating this as part of a walking trail with Heritage Park and Marina Park — which are both also free public parks with equally scenic views located nearby! 😌

Very beautiful park, lots of swimming and docks, grassed areas, play ground, covered and non covered picnic tables, grill. Definitely will visit agian.

First time cold plunging in Kirkland. Nice little spot to swim out and see Mt Rainier on a clear day. You can also see the Seattle skyline and the Space Needle poking out. They have picnic tables and BBQs, and could be a spot to have a group or family picnic. A couple guys were fishing, but never caught anything for the hour that I was there. Good spot to launch a SUP or kayak. There is a small playground, bathrooms, and an upper and lower parking lot. Juanita Bay Park is nearby, and in the summer, you can see sunbathing turtles.

One of my favorites parks in Kirkland area with a bit of everything to spend a nice time during every season (picnic area, beach, dock for fishing, lifeguard during summer).

I like the variety here and the grassy hills. The skate park is perfect for younger kids because their isn’t a bowl. Nice walking paths around, decent playground with basketball hoops, and a tennis court. I just didn’t see bathrooms or water fountains around

My daughter has made many memories at this wonderful park. The library nearby is also home to many of her favorite books.

A beautiful local park. Located close to QFC, Library and many shops.Nice walking paths around. Kids playground, swimming pool, basketball hoops a tennis court there. Overall its good 👍

I work with kids near here, so spend a lot of time in this park. There's a lot of wide open space, great hills, wonderful trees, a skate park and a really beautifully laid-out playground. The playground is very tall, though, which makes me a little anxious whioe watching over a handful of kids. Kids especially love the trees in the autumn - there's a particularly good one that creates the best kinds of piles of leaves!

A rare, public, lakeside space filled with families, music, sparkling water, gorgeous sunsets, a working marina and public art.

Nice place to skate and kids play area. Quite close to downtown Kirkland

Stayed at the Woodmark Hotel. Beautiful scenery, nice restaurants. We walked two blocks down and ate on the patio of The Beach House Bar and Grill. But the offerings at Carillon Point looked amazing: American, Italian, and Mexican.

Super special place with amazing views of Lake Washington and the Olympic Mountains and absolutely stunning sunsets! 4 restaurant choices with excellent food & drinks! I LOVE CARILLON POINT!!

I went to enjoy the floating spas.It was nice.It was a bit crowded and there. When people are laying down there's like really nowhere to sit. Anyways, I think when you walk in.There's like a locker area and then when you get in.There's like a woodstove.You can dump water on.It holds like 10 people, but again if people weren't laying down.I'm sure we all could affect.I stayed for maybe fifteen minutes and left. It's kind of hard to stand and there when it's so hot. Not to mention, they said I could jump off the dock into the water but the water's gross.It's a Marina, there's nothing but boats over there.You can see that oil in the water. I would suggest booking it with a group of people you already know.

A walk around Kirkland's Carillon Point is always a treat, offering beautiful views and a wonderfully calm atmosphere. It’s also home to three stellar dining options, and the one I keep coming back to is Como. This Italian gem is a must-try for dinner or drinks in a gorgeous setting.

Beautiful location with exceptional views and dining options. Definitely a great romantic spot to take a date for a sunset stroll and dinner on the water. Great for taking pictures of the marina, water, and landscape with your date or family. We ate at the French restaurant and it was excellent quality of drinks, superb food, great dining, and the views made it even better. I'd definitely recommend bringing a jacket as it can be pretty brisk and chilly. However this was in spring time so plan accordingly. Parking was a bit far away but was free currently, looks like they charge regularly though.

Beautiful view with a blue sea one side and colored sunset on the other side. Relaxing area that allows people to take a walk or jog with their friends and pets. There are restaurants and cafes you can sit and enjoy the view. I am fan of downtown style places and this is one of them.

The boat rentals, private lawns and restaurants all have fantastic views of the water and the marina. Everything is pristinely put together. Make sure you park upstairs instead of the underground. Much more convenient

We came to Junita Cafe with high hopes, drawn in by the promise of a refined 7-course experience. While the presentation certainly tries to sell you on a high-end dining affair, the actual food left us underwhelmed—flavors were surprisingly basic and forgettable. For a dinner that came out to nearly $700 for two (only one of us had drinks), we expected something much more elevated in taste and execution. The setting was fine, but the views were nothing to write home about—definitely not enough to justify the price. I wish there had been more honest reviews beforehand that mentioned how flat the food tastes despite all the hype. It feels like a lot of effort went into making it *look* fancy, but the soul and flavor just weren’t there. Disappointing, especially given how excited we were to try it. I think bread was the only thing that was beyond delicious and for a restaurant at this level should t be considered for only bread.

We finally got to try Café Juanita, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. This cozy, intimate spot feels like a hidden gem tucked away in Kirkland — perfect for a special night out. We opted for the tasting menu, and every course was beautifully presented and full of flavor. You can tell the ingredients are seasonal and thoughtfully sourced. One of the unexpected highlights? The bread. They offer a variety — each one soft, warm, and addictively good. You’ll want to ask for seconds! The cocktails were top-notch too, especially the Negroni and a seasonal gin drink that paired perfectly with the appetizers. Every dish felt balanced and refined — from delicate pastas to a standout main course that was both rich and elegant. The service was warm and attentive without being overbearing, and they happily explained each course in detail, which made the experience even more enjoyable. It’s on the pricier side, but absolutely worth it for the quality and overall experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking to treat themselves to a true Italian-inspired tasting menu in a charming, romantic setting. Can’t wait to return.

Good service, okay atmosphere, mediocre food. Appetizers were forgettable. Pasta was too salty (Just go to Bottle & Bull and order their lamb ragu to have a better taste). Mains (sable fish & pork) were okay but you can get it in any $50-per-person-restaurant. Dessert (vanilla panna cotta) was the best thing from the night. In one word, definitely not worth the money. I was recommended to come by a coworker and I need to have a word with her. I thought Canlis was mediocre enough, but I guess you never stop being disappointed by Seattle’s food scene.

Food was really great! Service was meh, and the entire experience wasn’t worth the price. So if you’re local maybe try it once. But way overpriced for what you get.

I feel like this is a must try place if you’re at all able to. It’s pricey, but seattle doesn’t have many options like it. The service was impeccable and the food was amazing. We were actually more impressed with how the simpler ingredients like the vegetables shined. It’s a great experience for a very special occasion. One thing to check is if you like the flavors incorporated into the menus. There’s 4 different options but you’re likely to experience a lot of the same flavors across different menus and different dishes (ie right now peas are in season so they used those across all menus and lots of dishes were Parmesan and morel mushroom heavy). If you really dislike a certain flavor and it is heavy on all the menus maybe wait a season :) that said I loved the flavors when I went but if someone didn’t they might repeatedly be let down by the various courses. Our reservation was for an early dinner around 5 and it started out quiet and fairly empty and by the time we finished around 8 it was quite busy and a bit louder. We had a wonderful time and will be back to try another season’s menu

Terrible experience tonight. We were so looking forward to this but came out 800 poorer, 3.5 hours water with uninspired, flavorless food and mediocre at best service. Save yourself the poor experience and go elsewhere. Amuse Bouche - too much flavor with caviar in a pastry filled with crème fraiche, would have been good just with the caviar. The halibut was so sad looking and tasteless that I left half of it uneaten, the ibercio was over salted and over cooked. Yes the bread is good and unfortunately the best part of the meal and we didn’t go there for bread. Dessert pics are missing but the panna cotta and strawberry cake were both less than mediocre:( the servers seemed distressed and not happy either, we saw one being told off by someone while she was making a drink, not a good vibe.

I bring my niece here for her birthday. Every other year. She can’t wait until she’s 21 and can have the wine pairing! My niece is an omnivore. She rates Cafe Juanita a 10/10 on all fronts. We are glad we asked to sit where we can watch the kitchen on our second visit. Me. I am plant-based at home but will eat vegetarian outside of home. On our first visit I went full plant based—vegan. The food was meh in taste 4/10 while presentation was 10/10—except for the focaccia which was a 10/10. I’ve never had bread I’ve loved so much. Our second visit I had vegetarian. I rate it an 8.5. There was definitely more flavor—they clearly understand how to use animal fat to get flavor—depth and nuance. Plant fat—not so much. I’ve eaten plant-based around the world and there is 10/10 plant based food (Vedge in Philly was the best before Covid). They relied on really liking the taste of that heirloom tomato or melon, which considering I work on an organic farm—it wasn’t special. The drink pairing is lovely. The service is wonderful. The price all in for 2 with only one drink pairing was $750. Worth saving for. Just ask my niece.

I love this place! From their hazy IPA to the great atmosphere, it’s our go to. The little container on the trail is my favorite next to the pea patch. We always enjoy playing corn hole and hanging out in the sun on a nice day with a good brew. The larger Chainline is nice too, perfect little place for catching a game or a stop when running errands. I love that they have dog treats and there are always pups around.

I’ve been here countless times and it’s always great. There’s ample seating inside and out. The outdoor seating is covered in the fall/winter. It could use heaters, but a warm jacket does the trick. They are super dog friendly and will provide water bowls upon request. Food is tasty. I’ve ordered a few pizzas and the guacamole. Beers are fabulous - juicy, crisp, fresh. No complaints.

Up front: no bike racks, dog-friendly, kid-friendly, outdoor seating with some coverage, quick food, convenient to bike to, and obviously beer. Chainline is overall great. The beer selection is pretty constant, and I haven't noticed too much change over the past year in terms of taps/brews. But maybe I'm just not fully in tune - pun intended. The selection focuses on IPAs and a few light beers alongside some sours, etc. They've 2 locations: one right on the bike trail (The Station) and then this spot (the brewery). The brewery sits right next to the Google office and a few random shops at the shopping center. It's nice, it's spacious with outdoor seating, and it's local with no noise or music to dull the ambiance of just hearing people talking. It is dog, and kid, friendly in both indoor and outdoor seating areas. They do serve some classic bites such as pizza and pretzels + other stuff which comes out quick. Though I have had the past 3 instances where they forget I ordered food. Reasons for 4-star rating: I would like to see more variety in their drafts, places to lock up bikes (it's called CHAINLINE!), and some food order inconsistencies in their service.

Beautiful new location. Perfect at sunset. When I dropped by to pick up a six pack, it looked great. People were enjoying Chainline beer on tap, socially distanced. Mask wearing when walking away from tables was enforced by a check in desk before you enter. They now have pizza and pretzels. They told us they bake the pizza in house and get the dough and pretzels locally.

Awesome beer spot. Dark lager is fantastic, as was every beer I tasted. Solid food truck option out front. Definitely busy as the evening progressed. Parking was good at 4pm but by 5:30pm cars were everywhere.

Nice and pleasant outdoor seating and great beer to top it all. We went for hazy IPA and IPA. Both were tasty and worth the time spent there. I really wish they could stretch on their closing hours. 8pm is little too early given on sunny evenings in summer. I would visit it again during fall evenings mainly because of their outdoor seating 😜

Kicked off my Eastside brewery tour with Chainline. Def a solid place to visit. Of the beers I tried the hazy IPA (tune up) and their black lager (limited, not pictured) were my favorites. The pretzel was giant and super good, served with cheese and mustard. Really nice outdoor seating and tasty beers makes this an easy living spot that I’ll be coming back to!

Seats are a bit too cramped for comfortable viewing. Lobby is also small, when the crowd gathers during the intermissions, making movement a bit challenging. Washroom for men was also inadequate for the crowd gathering during the shows.

Great venue but did miss a dance floor. Great band. We see them 3-4 times a year. LeRoy Bell & his only friends👍

Kirkland Performance Center is an intimate, community-focused venue that offers a fantastic lineup of live performances, from theater and dance to music and comedy. Located in the heart of Kirkland, this cozy theater has exceptional acoustics and comfortable seating, ensuring every seat feels close to the stage. The center regularly hosts local and touring artists, providing a diverse range of shows that appeal to all ages and interests. With its welcoming atmosphere and high-quality performances, Kirkland Performance Center is a gem for arts enthusiasts and a great spot to enjoy a memorable night out.

Very cute little venue. Nice venue for a quiet concert. Chairs were comfy and relatively spacious. Parking was a little difficult figuring out the right spot. For parking alone I recommend being there early. Bar inside, relatively expensive drinks. 12 dollar wine. 8 dollar beer but I've paid way more. Staff was mostly kind. If you want in and out access it's better to buy end seats because it's not easy to get in and out with really disturbing people during the show.

The Kirkland Performance Center is a true gem in the heart of downtown Kirkland! With a perfectly sized 394-seat theater, the venue offers intimate yet vibrant experiences that bring the community together. The sound quality and sightlines are fantastic—no seat is more than 40 feet from the stage, ensuring you feel close to the action no matter where you sit. It's not just a place to watch performances; it's a place where people from all walks of life can connect through music, theater, and dance. Highly recommend catching a show here if you're looking for a memorable evening out!

Great staff and a jewel box venue.

Great sound! They have fantastic sound engineers here that really allow the room to speak. With such great musicianship and performances, every mix I have heard translates the live performance clearly and intelligibly. I saw the Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra perform a tribute to Dave Brubeck and Paul Desmond and they were fantastic.

Deru Market is a gem! We came for Sunday brunch and left really impressed. Food: Beet Lemon Muddle (3/5): Refreshing, tart, with a hint of sweetness, sort of like lemonade with a beet twist. Not my favorite, but interesting. Blueberry Brioche (4/5): Light, fluffy, and fresh. Just sweet enough without being heavy. Toast with Butter & Jam (5/5): Thick-cut bread, generously buttered, with plenty of flavorful jam. Comfort food perfection. Farm Scramble (5/5): Outstanding. The eggs were cooked beautifully, the veggies fresh, and the broccoli was crispy and perfectly seasoned. Easily the star of the meal. Service: Friendly and efficient, though nothing over-the-top. Ambiance: Both indoor and outdoor seating are inviting. Great for families or a casual date. Even on a busy Sunday brunch, it felt lively but never overcrowded. Overall, an excellent spot worth visiting. Delicious food, generous portions, and a relaxed atmosphere.

Finally made it to DERU and it did not disappoint. The place has a fun atmosphere with a cozy patio that’s perfect for hanging out. Our servers were genuinely warm and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. The yam fries and garlic knots were instant favorites, and the pizzas tasted fresh with great ingredients. The mushroom pizza leaned a bit heavy on garlic, I personally would’ve loved a little more goat cheese to balance it out. And the cake… wow. The slice was huge and absolutely decadent. We had such a great time and are already looking forward to coming back to explore more from the menu.

💰 Price: A little pricey for casual dining, but worth it for the quality and size. 👥 Crowd: Always busy, especially at dinner, so expect a bit of a wait. 🌳 Atmosphere: Cozy, rustic-modern vibe, though it can feel crowded when full. 🚗 Transportation: Small parking lot that fills quickly, but you can usually find street parking nearby. 🤝 Service: Friendly, quick, and the food always comes out fresh.

The brioche came out cold and hard as a rock — it must’ve been overbaked and left sitting out too long. The Benedict was cold too, and oddly, only one half had greens while the other had none. I’m not sure if that’s intentional or if the chef just forgot. The only thing that tasted decent was the potatoes. After waiting in line for so long, it was really disappointing to end up with food like this.

Used to be a good deal but not anymore since portion got a lot smaller. First pic is Sept 2025. Second pic is from Feb 2025. The other side salad served at the same time for other tables also seems to be more than mine so maybe it’s discrimination or bad luck. Spoke to the manager and was just told all the salad weight the same and they changed the mix. Nothing was done about it and my salad is definitely smaller than what others had gotten in the restaurant.

Honestly disappointed. Noodles had an odd aftertaste. Hard to get servers attention for missed items we ordered. The drink, salad, and lemon curd cheesecake was delicious. I’d go again to see if it was an off day, but didn’t find this visit to match its reviews.

1. They have costumers parking lots available for free 2. Vegan options available 3. Many pizzas 🍕 options available 4. All food are large size or even huge , one item can be shared with two people The beef sandwich was very tasty and huge size, some foods which I was very want to try but only available in the morning section. The coffee is huge size too, it’s a bowl 🥣🤣🤣 The sweet potato was soso ，it's kinds of over cook outside，but did notcook enough inside，also the sauce not taste good。

Thai Isarn Soul Kitchen – Kirkland, Seattle Tucked away in Kirkland, Thai Isarn Soul Kitchen offers a cozy and inviting space that delivers truly authentic Thai flavors. From the moment you walk in, the warm, homey vibe sets the tone for a great meal. We started with the Papaya Salad, which was fresh, tangy, and packed with just the right balance of sweet, sour, and spicy – it really hits the spot. The Wagyu Beef Thai Salad was a standout: juicy, tender beef paired with vibrant herbs and a zingy dressing made it incredibly flavorful. The Grilled Chicken Hat Yai Style was also a solid choice – beautifully marinated and grilled to perfection, with a subtle Southern Thai flair. Overall, everything was tasty, satisfying, and clearly made with care. If you’re craving genuine Thai comfort food in a warm, welcoming setting, this place is definitely worth a visit.

Happy Hour 3-6 pm. The papaya salad (Som Tum) tastes just like it does in Thailand. All the vegetables are fresh and super crisp, and the service is excellent.

Great food(not the steak tho) good vibe and can see some water view. Usually have a line so if you want to dine here for dinner or the weekend, put your name on their waitlist and take a walk around the lake

Isarn Thai’s menu is full of bold, authentic flavors with some unique regional twists that really set it apart from your typical Thai restaurant. We started with the crab fried rice, and it was so good — fragrant, perfectly seasoned, and generously loaded with sweet, tender crab meat. It’s comforting and indulgent, yet somehow still light enough that you’ll keep going back for another bite. The stir-fried squid with salted egg yolk was also a standout. The squid was perfectly cooked — tender and flavorful — and the rich, savory salted egg yolk sauce brought the whole dish together with a deliciously creamy finish. The cabbage stir-fried with black pepper may sound simple, but don’t overlook it. Lightly charred with just the right amount of heat and smokiness, it’s unexpectedly addictive and a perfect complement to the richer dishes. To top it all off, we had the durian sticky rice for dessert — and wow. If you're a durian lover, this is a must. The durian was fresh and creamy, paired beautifully with the warm, sweet sticky rice and rich coconut sauce. It’s a bold way to end the meal, and worth every bite. The ambiance is warm and modern, the service is attentive, and the food is consistently impressive. Whether you’re a Thai food enthusiast or just looking for a new favorite local spot, Isarn Thai Kirkland delivers on every level. Highly recommend!

I've been here multiple times. The food is always tasty. I've had the seafood curry custard is delicious. The red curry is also good. I got the Tamarind sour, it was okay but way too sweet. They do this dumb thing though, where rice does not come with the curries. You have to order it separate. The staff are nice and the service was good. This place does get loud though, at one point I felt like I was shouting while trying to talk to my friend I was with.

Super chill vibes, amazing food best pad se uw I've ever had. Had to wait a little for our food but it was so worth it. Very nice people, they felt bad for how long we had to wait and we got a free thai tea and it was amazing. I would come again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Isarn Thai Soul Kitchen in Kirkland delivers absolutely delicious Thai comfort food. We tried the Kao Soi, which was rich and creamy with perfectly al dente cooked noodles and that signature blend of spices. The Half Fried Chicken with sticky rice was a standout too—the chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy inside, and the sticky rice paired beautifully. Service here is both friendly and quick, and our wait was minimal. We’ll definitely be back for more!

Lady Yum is a gem! The shop is stunning, the staff are super friendly, and the macarons are absolutely divine. Highly recommend stopping by for a sweet treat!

This is my most favorite macaron place ever, including places in Paris. We moved from Washington a few years ago, but my husband goes back every so often for work. He recently came home with a pack of these for me and I was so excited. They were just as delicious as I remember! Definitely miss Lady Yum on the east coast!

Spotted the sign in front of the Kirkland shop saying macaron and bubbly for $5... and I was in! So many flavor options. Curated storefront with lots of bottles of bubbly for purchase. What's not to love?! Thanks for a fun, impromptu experience!

Great special, a glass of bubbles and a macaron of your choice for $5. The macarons are so pretty and so tasty you won't get just one.

The customer service blows me away, The macaroons send me to space!! There is no way this place is real, their macaroons blew my mind. And their service is even better, okay maybe not better than the macaroons but close. The macaroons come in so many flavors and were so pretty me and my friend were just taking pictures instead of eating the art! We only chose 4 but the lady behind the counter gave us 2 extra from the "broken" pile. All 6 flavors blew my mind. I'm in love with macaroons! Plus the lady behind the counter was just so friendly and real, like she wasn't just being friendly cause it was her job. For the individual flavors: Ube- like a marshmallow texture and flavor Circus Animal- Exactly like the cookie! Toffee- Beautiful and toffee tasting Raspberry Lychee- Such a unique flavor MUST TRY Unicorn- interesting cookie like but not my favorite Red Velvet- Extremely rich and of course velvety.

Simply does not get better than this. We were wandering downtown Kirkland with the extended family on New Year's Eve and they were open. A couple of guys inside quietly playing music on a cello and a guitar and that was enough for us, knowing that the macaroons would absolutely hit the right spot for dessert. We went in for five and walked out with 25 and wished that we would have gotten more – it is really that good. They are all perfectly done and the variety is truly incredible. In the heart of downtown Kirkland and this is always a must-stop. Love this place

I’ve never tried so tasty macarons until today… Do not even try to compare macarons from Lady Yam with macarons from a grocery store. Macarons from Lady Yam are bigger, more beautiful, more colorful, and tasty variety is vider. Interior is an eclectic of vintage and baroque. Nice and pleasant. By the way, they have sets of macarons in boxes for sale which can be a good gift for any occasion. Parking. Oh, there are some places were you may park your car for free and walk a bit to visit this place.

Atmosphere and service are 5 stars but food is average 3 stars. Kids menu items are more expensive than most other places at $9 each. Same management as Bottle & Bull a few blocks away. I'd recommend going for a casual hang out with friends but if you want exceptional cuisine select another restaurant nearby.

Food was absolutely fantastic. Started with the coaching which was unrealistically good followed with the calamari fettuccine. I also had a few of the Tieton apricot ciders through my meal. The only reason I subtracted the star was due to the fact that the service left much to desire.

New place in Kirkland: interesting menu and pleasant folks. Had the Wild Boar Sloppy Joe, friend had Wild Boar Bolognese - both very tasty and slight ly spicy. Will be back to try rest of menu.

I took a burger, which was fine but slightly small. Not exceptional though. The cocktail I took was good but honestly a bit short. Service was good, I managed to get a table on the terrace.

Pretty good new public House great service haven't had cocktails or full menu food yet

The space is nice and the staff as well. The food is meh....I will go back to try again. Don't have much else to say just meh. Oh and $12 for mac and cheese to take home for thi kiddo.

Came here for my birthday and really enjoyed it. Not as expensive as I expected for central Kirkland, though the portions were smaller than some places I have been in Tacoma that were similar price. Bartender was funny and direct, which is refreshing when so many places are so pretentious and snobby when you head north. I had the Pork sliders and my wife had the clam chowder, both were great. The pork was well cooked and seasoned and the apple slaw that was on if complimented it very nicely.

Very unpleasant interaction with the Executive Director of this company. 10/10 do not recommend.

Just to look, but for the classes. People were nice, but not much to see. But then we went in February which is off season here

Historic building, great classes for adults and kids. Fun to drop in to see exhibits by local artists.

The Executive Director of this company is absolutely rude. Don’t do business with this company.

Terrific facility for new and experienced artists of all ages. Instruction and open life drawing sessions are available.

Delightful location, interesting exhibits, wonderful staff. Well worth a visit!

Great holidays art show and sale. Go visit!

Had an AMAZING experience lunch here yesterday. Would highly recommend. Good was great and so was our host. I also saw goo goo dolls here and loved the venue. They were very organized getting people in and you could bring your own wine purchased onsite. No need a screw top…they have wine barrels with screws inside to help open your bottles. Food choices inside the concert were also great. Overall great venue to spend a couple of days.

I would like to guide you to this beautiful winery. Its been 25 years since I have been here. The fish ponds are empty and the peacocks are gone, however, more activity and people means change. There is a large concert area and a restaurant now...But... the charm remains. Picnic areas, shady tree covered chill out areas and community awaits you. Free to enter, free to park. You must try the wine, order a charcuterie board or put together your own from the little store. Worth the visit.

My absolute favorite outdoor concert venue in the Seattle area during the summer and cozy indoor wine tasting all year long. Amazing events + food, absolutely incredible wine and the best ambiance around!

My husband and I went in for their September Feature Flight and had a great experience. We enjoyed the wines and all of the knowledge that Emilie shared with us. Walking around the stunning grounds was an added bonus.

The Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery in Woodinville is a very large sprawling complex of buildings, open spaces and, the reason I went here, an outdoor concerts venue. I can't comment on the inside of the winery as I did not enter any buildings. The outdoor open space is beautiful and kept very well manicured. I went to the concert venue to see Blues Traveler, Spin Doctors and Gin Blossoms play in the middle of August on a day when it was sunny and 89 degrees. There are two entry gates to access the concert venue. The north entry opens right up to the side and front of the stage. The south entry is a few minutes walk to get to the seating area. I went to the north gate entry. For parking, you have to get there when they open the lots up to get good parking. Ideally, you want to park close to the north entry gate. There is ADA parking close to the north gate. Most of the parking spaces are in full sun, so bring a car sun screen for your front window. I got there when the lots opened, so I parked very close to the entry gate and in the shade of a tree. After walking a short distance through the grounds, I waited in a very sunny and hot line to go through security when the gates opened which was about an hour of waiting. There is also an ADA line. Most people brought their short lawn chairs and sat in a shady grassy area where the line would enter. Event security is very helpful and answered all my questions happily as this was my first trip to the winery. There are also many police and bomb squad personnel around the crowd and winery for your safety. Once inside the amphitheater, you pass by the merchandise table to buy concert merch while all sizes of t-shirts and other merch are available; waiting until the end of the concert gives you limited merch to choose from as much merch has been sold by then. My seat was near the back of the reserved seats and came with a high back folding seat already in place and with a great view of the stage. Those who brought low back short lawn chairs sat in the grassy area behind the reserved seats. The venue only seats 4500 people so it is a great small place to watch a concert. Sealed outside water bottles are permitted through security and there are water filling station to refill your bottle when empty. No outside alcohol is allowed. Inside the concert area you can purchase the winery's vintages from tables that also open the bottle for you and supply plastic cups. There are food options available at the back of the concert area with stalls selling BBQ (delicious!), Mexican food (got a small bone in my beef taco), cold ice cream among a few other types of food. The sound system at the concert is very good and powerful; you can actually feel the bass booming through your chest! The concert was absolutely incredible sounding with great views of the raised stage. The slope of the amphitheater is gentle not steep. Buy the reserved seats if you can afford them unless you want to bring a small blanket and picnic basket of food with you sitting in the lawn area. Outside food is permitted through security for your culinary enjoyment. The whole venue is in full sun and can be quite hot until the sun goes down behind the trees. Because the concert area is so relatively small, this place is a great way to enjoy a concert by some big name artists every Summer. I highly recommend coming to watch a concert here.

I went for the wine tasting with a couple of friends. You can make a reservation or walk in if they have available spots. We did the Take Away Flights for $30. The service is great and you get to choose 4 selections from the menu. Here’s my perspective on the different wines we tasted. P.S., I don’t have any professional education with reviewing wines so take it with a grain of salt. 2019 Muscat Canelli - tastes sweet but not as sweet as a dessert wine 2023 Le Rose - tastes dry and watery 2024 Midsummer White - tastes like apricot and beer; too much hoops 2019 Canoe Chardonnay - very nice light Chardonnay; Chardonnay is a drier wine 2018 Cinsaut - my friend said it’s is a good mix of sweet and sour and the other one hated it because she doesn’t like red wine

🍷 Perfect Evening at Chateau Ste. Michelle! 🎶 Visited Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery with friends and had the most beautiful experience! The winery grounds are gorgeous, and the atmosphere is so relaxing and elegant. We enjoyed a wonderful musical night under the stars—great live music, delicious wine, and amazing food. Everything was well organized and felt so special. It’s the perfect place for a memorable outing with friends, whether you’re into wine, nature, or just soaking in good vibes. Definitely a must-visit if you’re in the area. Looking forward to going back again soon! 🍇🍷

A vibrant and friendly host is the best part of the visit. This young gal is the best addition at this location compared to the past personnel I interacted with before. Our Waitress just want to get her job done and move on. Ok. So be it… Overall, the food is tasty but always on the high sodium side. We requested for no salt chips. The answer is NO. This location is one block from Lake WA with outdoor seating. It’s sure a popular place. Street or paid parking lot

Came for an early dinner on a Sunday. The host was super friendly and let us pick whichever outdoor seat we wanted since there were options. Our waitress came not long after and she asked if we want chips, salsa, and guacamole for the table (only later to find out on the bill that it costs $11.) We ordered house fajita with skirt steak and chimayo enchilada. Both dishes were mediocre for us, we had better elsewhere and at home tbh. The location of the restaurant is convenient and nicely tucked away where you can see cars driving by and people walking past. The atmosphere inside also seems nice, restroom was clean so that's a plus. All in all, good experience thanks to the friendliness of the host and the waitress but we will try elsewhere for Mexican food. The sign did say along the lines of "We are not authentic, but we are Cactus."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ From the moment I walked into Cactus in Kirkland, I felt welcome. The host greeted me warmly right away and set the tone for a great experience. I chose to sit outdoors, which was beautiful — the perfect spot to enjoy the lively atmosphere and great music. My server, Sara, was wonderful. I ordered both of her recommendations — the squash blossoms and the Sonoran Spa Chicken — and they were absolutely delicious. Every bite was packed with flavor, and I could tell the ingredients were fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The service, the atmosphere, and the food were all top-notch. Highly recommend Cactus in Kirkland — I can’t wait to come back!

If you're looking for great Mexican food that has an original twist, combined with phenomenal handmade corn tortillas...Cactus is for you. This specific location is enchanting and lively for get-togethers for food and drink.

Excellent location with great service and a lovely ambiance. While the food was good, it felt a bit bland compared to their SLU location. We enjoyed the guacamole with chips and salsa, but the highlight of the meal was definitely the flan which was rich, smooth, and perfectly executed.

We had a very enjoyable lunch at Cactus 🌵. Very nice selection of meals and drinks on the menu. Nice selection of outside seating. Big nicely stocked bar with heaps of drinks.

I rarely, rarely leave reviews online. But we just had dinner here for the first time and were so pleasantly impressed by the food and the service! Our waiter was so attentive and prompt, and we really enjoyed the food. (Loved the flautas). We also appreciated that they had no problem making a deconstructed burrito for our youngest kid. They even brought us a complimentary dessert after finding out it was our first time. Thank you Cactus and to our server for the hospitality and great service.

Beautiful space and atmosphere in this place. The country loaf tartine was tasty, but a little under seasoned. We also tried the breakfast bowl but it was very soupy and was missing the butternut squash.

Good food, good ambiance. The smoked salmon tartine was the best as was the orange-ginger juice. The chocolate cake was also yummy! They don't take reservations and you have to order before you can sit.

Absolutely love the atmosphere here — super high ceilings, tons of natural light, fresh cut flower bouquets, plants galore, and just a great gathering place. Both the bread used for the tartines (suuuuper crispy outside but not heavy) and the gluten-free seeded loaf are fantastic. I always get the poached eggs & herbs tartine, and add goat cheese (which is to die for—creamy and tart and the perfect base for a runny yolk). I’ve only ever had breakfast here, so would definitely love to try some of their lunch and dinner options. One negative: if you’re avoiding dairy and are opting for their cappuccinos or lattes with the house made almond milk instead, it’s not great... The consistency of it is way too watery, and it totally dilutes the flavor of the coffee. I had a cappuccino, my dad had a latte and my mom had a beet-root-latte and all 3 drinks had the same issue (though hers had the best flavor because of the added beets). I’d recommend going for an espresso/drip/cold brew if you’re trying to avoid dairy.

Delicious and hip brunch spot within central Kirkland. Looks like IKEA outfitted the entire building. Pear and prosciutto was amazing. 11/10 would visit again.

Great place for breakfast/lunch. Both of lattes were well made. We got Early Board and Summer Greens salad. Both were very good. Comapred to similar cafes, this place is a bit on the pricey side though.

It is a little weird that you have to decide and place your order where you check in before you sit down because this place feels like a cafe that would have table service more than a coffee shop, but I understand how it probably helps with restaurant flow. The food we ordered today was flavorful, magnificently presented and delicious and the space is gorgeous. We ordered the veggie chips too because every table had them. There were many options for all types of dietary needs. And FYI the restaurant got very busy around 11:30am. Restroom was clean.

We went for dinner after out small wedding and got spoiled rotten. Met us with champagne and congratulations. Our waitperson guided us through the menu and gluten free was a breeze. Had roast cauliflower, hummus, root chips appetizers. My meal was clams. Amazing quality and preparation, in a fun funky warm environment.

I would not take my ex wife’s divorce attorney here. I ordered the Caesar salad (entree sized) and paid $7 to add chicken. The resulting salad and meager chicken portion would make even a crewman on Magellan’s voyage across the world balk at the stinginess of the portions (they were starved). Price tags of a Napa vineyard with portion sizes suited for a squirrel on ozempic.

We could not have chosen a better place to enjoy our pre and post wedding breakfasts. Candice is such a wonderful lady ! She made us feel really great and provided the very best service, we could ask for. Plus, the food is amazing !

Our family absolutely loves Hearth! We come here for breakfast at least 2 times a month. We have yet to find a place that tops their Eggs Benedict! The restaurant atmosphere is lovely. The staff is amazing! Especially Candice, she is so kind and helpful.

Candice was lovely very attentive- I got the restaurant week menu- butternut squash soup- crispy skin salmon and a pear galette for dessert. There was a timing issue between app and entree my salmon came out before I was done with my soup- otherwise the meal was a nice Sunday treat and appropriately priced at $35 - I also was not charged for my coffee much appreciative

Victor, the bartender at Heathman is the best! I known Victor for over 7 years and he is the best. He makes the best drinks, he is so personable, friendly, and the rest of the staff is great! I've also had several meetings, events, and dinners here with my company and Victor and the staff at Heathman are the best! Their new late night happy hour is also awesome. Strongly suggest The Heathman for your meetings, events, meals, and happy hour. You will not be disappointed.

Whenever my family visits Washington, we stay at the Hearth in Kirkland. The breakfast and service is outstanding. Our waitress per my daughter is so kind and nice, she ensured we were able to get a grilled cheese! Candice also made sure our order was delicious and came out in a timely manner. Always a great experience.

I had such a fantastic experience thanks to Viktor! Their energy behind the bar was unmatched — friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. Every drink was perfectly balanced, and they somehow managed to keep the whole bar engaged while never missing a beat. You can tell they genuinely care about creating a great atmosphere. Definitely one of the best bartenders I’ve ever met! I will never pass by Hearth without visiting Viktor.

I’m a bit bummed we didn’t get to do the wine tasting, but this place has it all — great vibes, delicious food, and awesome service. I was really happy to share such a good time here with my family.

This is a great place to start your tour. You can get a map of every winery represented at Woodinville. James, who greeted me, pointed me in the right direction. It saved me hours of hunting for the right place to go.

Such a cool couple of blocks to walk around, have lunch…

If you love wine this area is a must visit in WA State!

I am a huge wine connoisseur! I am very happy that this is a Woodinville not that Woodville doesn’t already have a lot of wine, but there are a lot of new wine cellars that have popped up. If you were a wine person, I recommend coming to Woodinville and experiencing all the wine cellars.

Had a great time using the Woodinville Wine Country app and wine pass for a Monday afternoon tasting tour. We chose the Hurray for Hollywood pass, it was very affordable and saved us money on each tasting. The app made it super easy to find our way throughout the day. We toured Patterson, DeLille, Sparkman, and Panther Creek. We were able to easily walk between each tasting and it made for an amazing day trying out new wines in the area. We will definitely check out the wine pass options again next time we head out to the wineries.

Fun place to visit

Lush green and wide open park area in downtown kirkland by the side of waterfront. Very peaceful and quiet walking experience with nice surroundings. Nice place to walk your dogs or relax . One can sit on the benches provided by the side of the beautiful pathway alongside the lake and enjoy the scenic beauty. Youngsters can also enjoy playing volleyball or other games on the Lush field. Beautiful sunset view in the evenings.

I really enjoyed my visit to Heritage Park, especially since it was such a pleasant and easy walk from the Kirkland downtown area. The path from downtown takes you through a charming neighborhood with many beautiful houses, and it's a great way to discover the area before arriving at the park. Upon entering, I was greeted by a large grassy field, which would be perfect for a picnic or a game. There's also a big grassy door, which was a unique and fun feature—I had to take a photo of it! The park's trail is well-maintained and winds through the area, with some lovely flowers planted along the sides. I followed the trail down to the lakeside, which offered a tranquil spot to look out over the water. Heritage Park is a great example of how Kirkland seamlessly blends its urban core with beautiful green spaces. It's a peaceful and scenic spot that feels both close to the city and a world away. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a nice stroll and a beautiful place to relax.

Very beautiful park with a nice scenery of the water! Lots of open grass land! Wish more parking was available though. Would def go back! :)

Cute green space park within Kirkland to walk along or take your dog to go for a run. Nice views of the water and some tennis courts on one end with some beautiful flowers near Heritage Hall. The park has several lots to park along and a few minutes walk from the Marina Park pavilion and nearby coffee shops and stores on Central Way.

Very peaceful park nestled in Downtown Kirkland. It almost feels like a little oasis among all the busy streets of the area. I love the look of the heritage hall. I've yet to go inside, perhaps next time! It served as a lovely backdrop for photos during a pinup shoot. The bright summer flowers were also lovely to photograph! There are plenty of benches spread about so you can take a break and enjoy the flowers or watch people play with their sweet dogs.

Beautiful views, well kept grass area and plenty of space to lay and read a book.

Nice, wide open Park area in downtown Kirkland by the waterfront. Very clean and quiet with nice surroundings, very peaceful. Perfect place to walk your dogs or relax on the grass. No restrooms, so you'll have to walk down a ways to the Pavilion at the bottom for restrooms.

First time on the Christmas "Cruise" in ten years. It use to actually cruise around. Now you drive to one location on the Seattle side, stop for an hour, and go back. They have partnered with various cities/events to park outside their location and play Christmas music for them. Great for them, but what did I pay for? A boat ride to a spot? Won't do it ever again. Seems like money was the focus and a cheaped out experience.

Beautiful day, nice tour around the lake, refunded our two ticket price because of extremely long phone hold on booking, plus gave us 1/2 off first drinks. This company is excellent on correcting customer service and the young lady tour guide that had to talk over rude people was very patient and knowledgeable. Worth the $75 even if we had to pay, much better than the Harbor Tour.

Wonderful ride & tour! The tour guide was awesome, very informative, and funny and definitely made it a great experience. I love that they slow down near places of interest so people can view them better and encourage lots of photos. They have a wonderful handicap ramp & deck so no one will have to miss out! We will definitely be riding again with visiting family! :)

We went here for our work. They sponsored a cruise ride for us. The ride was nice we go out on the middle of the lake look at rich people's houses and come back and they feed you. The food was not that good. The mashed potatoes was lumpy soup and the chicken was not all the way cooked. They ran out of food fast and there wasn't enough for everyone. So some people did not get a chance to eat. The dessert was barely OK. Don't they try this stuff before they put it out? I probably won't be back.

Took Sunday 1:30pm. The guide was interesting with lots of factoids about the houses near the lake, and some history behind the Seattle and Kirkland. It would have been better experience if the tour was a bit shorter. E.g. 1 hr.

We purchased a Seattle City Pass and were told we could upgrade to a better cruise for a small fee, but had to book ahead. We called the night before we wanted to go. They were closed. We called back first thing in the morning and were on hold for around 20 minutes listening to a repeated recording about how our call was important...blah blah blah. Each time, the recording told us where we were in the queue. When we got down to being the next customer, a message came on saying no one was available to help us and to leave a message. I left a message saying we wanted to book a cruise for the afternoon and to please call us back. We were visiting Seattle and were trying to plan our day. After not hearing back, we decided to head into Seatle to book it in person. While in the car, I tried calling again and, again, got the same message. I held again for about another twenty minutes only to get the same result. By now it was around 11:00 a.m. and we spent the whole morning trying to book a tour. Their office is right downtown. There is no parking, so my niece dropped me off on a corner and droved around the block while I ran into the office to see if we could still reserve a spot on the afternoon tour. When I spoke to the customer service agent at the window, I explained my situation and he blew me off, just saying that they were really busy. No apology, no indication of caring whatsover, just that they were busy. This was the end of June!! What happens to this place when it's summer?! I reserved a spot on the afternoon locks cruise only to be told that the bus was booked up and couldn't bring us back to the parking lot. I was told just to get an Uber to bring us back. Not being familiar with Seatlle, I had no idea where the cruise ended, or how much an Uber would cost or how far away it was, I had to make a decision for my group as they were driving around the block waiting for me. I reluctantly booked it. The actual cruise was very nice. The tour guide and captain were entertaining and could be clearly heard. I'm glad we went but fwhat was supposed to be a two hour event, turned into a eiight hour event. As a tourist, we wanted to make the most of our time in a wonderful, vibrant city. Not impressed with this company. As I said, the actual tour was good so if you can book it with another company, I would suggest yo do so.

Fourth of July was great - Thanks for having me. I met a bunch of wonderful folks who decided to be there that day and they made new friends. Was a really unique experience.

A must-visit Kirkland gallery! This gem features modern and abstract art from local and national artists, with fresh exhibits each month that keep things exciting. Also, I love attending Gallery Night; it's a fun way to mingle and learn more about the creative process.

Earlier this Spring, I had the pleasure of assisting a launch event for a music non-profit (King County Keys) at the Ryan James Fine Arts Gallery. The venue and surrounding area is beautiful and contemporary, fantastic for Art Exhibits and Events if you're looking for a great spot in Kirkland or the Greater Eastside to host or attend. Ryan was a super friendly and accommodating host who helped navigate through the entire process start to finish. It was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend utilizing Ryan's amazing venue (or his expertise)! Thanks again!!! :)

Beautiful art gallery in Kirkland! I love how the arts at Ryan James Fine Arts rotate every month, bringing in fresh and vibrant pieces from different artists. There’s always something new to see, making each visit a unique experience. They even offer art rentals, which is perfect if you’re undecided on a single piece or enjoy seasonal changes to refresh your space. Highly recommend for anyone looking to discover local talent or add a creative touch to their home or office!

This gallery is an absolute gem! Not only is the rotating collection of art consistently impressive—but the gallery night events take the experience to a whole new level. The space itself is beautifully curated, with just the right balance of minimalism and warmth to let the artwork shine. But the real magic happens on gallery nights. These events are so much fun with a great crowd. Highly recommend keeping an eye on their calendar—you won’t want to miss the next one!

We’ve been lucky enough to be on the Ryan James Fine Arts Gallery mailing list. We have attended several truly entertaining events, acquired two unique pieces and also met the talented artist creators. We get compliments whenever we have guests. Ryan is collaborative and very supportive in suggesting and installing pieces.

The best modern and abstract art gallery in Kirkland and the Northwest. Ryan James has an uncanny taste for talented artists. The gallery is vibrant and always evolving. The events are a great way to connect with the artists and understand the stories behind the art.

The studio, artists, and customer service is top notch. I enjoy going to the regular openings to discover new compelling artists. The atmosphere is cozy and staff friendly. They went above and beyond when I wanted a custom art piece. They assisted with finding a good artist match, managing the process, and instillation. Highly recommend to new and experienced art lovers.

2 stars for actual local businesses trying to get their products out there… the rest lost for those with inhumane pricing. I can’t believe I just paid almost $10 for a single Nutella puff pastry from the “European bakery” stand. I remember attending last year and the pastry being already on the pricy side ($6-7) but still reasoned with it to satisfy my craving… but the elderly lady has no idea what numbers she’s playing with this year. I was too embarrassed and felt bad to ask her to take it back, so I went with it this time but never again! Super disappointed!

The market is open back today on 6/6. there is a lot more of food trucks this year's which is good. However I didn't see much greens or fresh veggies from local farms like last year though. However, they have more vendors this year with a wide range of stuffs. It's good to pay a visit, eat some food and enjoy the nice view of the bay

Nice variety of vendors, Best of Both Worlds keto food truck is the first in the world to provide this service, great food great prices fast service, food is outstanding, and we'll be there every Wednesday! Lots of fruit and veggies, lots of different jewelry types and flower vendors. And the Waterfront is just a beautiful location for it.

This farmers market is extremely ideal, lots of vendors, beautiful park setting overlooking Lake Washington, only had to pay $1.00 for parking. The vendors take debit cards, etc. No need for masks unless you are not vaccinated. As farmers markets go, this is DEFINITELY one of the better ones... 😊😊😊😊👍👍👍👍

As a first time visitor to Kirkland, I was looking forward to the market on a beautiful day! I am visiting my daughter and wanted to buy her a beautiful bouquet of flowers and surprise her when she got home from work. I was watching the vendor create a bouquet. I asked her if I could purchase it when the manager of the market rudely charged up and scolded me and the vendor in front of everyone that ‘You aren’t allowed to buy before 2 pm.”Wow, she couldn’t have been more unprofessional and rude...Perhaps you should put up barriers or signs so unsuspecting tourist know they aren’t allowed to buy something until it’s tme :/. No worries, we took our money and went to the Seattle markets...

Pretty small and limited fresh fruit and vegetables selection at pretty high prices, i guess that if you live in Kirtland you can afford to pay inflated price.

Small market but have nice beach view. You have to try the rolled ice cream and pizza. You have to wait a little bit since a lot of people but small vendor. Market also have fresh produce. Must go farmer market.

Took my friend there for lunch today for his birthday. First time eating there and everything was awesome! Been a long time since I had a burger this amazing! And the fries crunching and soft in middle. I tried the cake my friend had..wow..so good! Service was excellent too! Surprised that this place doesn't have a higher rating. (Guy behind me said he eats there everyday lol) Highly recommend burgers fries tots and cake! Will try and make it down there to try other dishes 😊 (Wished I would've taken a picture prior to half eaten plates lol)

Stopped by this place for weekday brunch after an early morning errand. This place has a cute vintage vibe to it, with tables & booths with a bar seating area as well! The service was wonderful, the staff were kind and efficient and let us hang out for a bit after we finished eating, which was nice as it let us catch up a bit. It seemed that there were many Greek food influence in their menu yet some typical popular choices as well. I went with the baklava pancakes as it sounded good & i haven't had pancakes or a baklava in awhile :) Some of the other dishes chosen were the greek omelette and the chorizo benedict; both seemed to be well received too! I would definitely come out again & hope to soon!

It's always packed here and for a good reason! Good food for good prices, really great place to take the family for a nice breakfast or lunch.

George restaurant in Kirkland is a real gem, I highly recommend checking it out! I recently tried their uber grilled cheese sandwich and it was absolutely divine. The bread was perfectly toasted and the cheese was so melty and flavorful, it was the best grilled cheese I've ever had. The service was also fantastic; everyone was friendly and attentive. I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu!

George's is an absolute delight for brunch, lunch, and dinner. I've been for all types of meals and the food is consistently tasty, and the service is solid any time of day. The prices are definitely on the high side, but the portions make up for that. I never feel like I've spent too much for what I've gotten.

Last time I went was 13 years ago and it was "just ok" then. This time their simple food was amazing. And my son who hates eating out because he thinks the food anywhere is "just ok" and therefore not worth the money, thought it was REALLY GOOD. !!! They have put some work into the appearance inside and it looks great. We had pancakes, french toast, scrambled eggs, bacon, ham, toast and hashbrowns...truly the basics but it was all just sooooo good? Magic stirred in? Who cares. We will be back Also service was great. Prompt and always there when we needed something. Very friendly. Great at always making sure we had full glasses of water

Best customer service. I misread the prices when ordering a burrito on my lunch break. I came in to hear the correct total and realized I was a dollar short, and now had no tip to give. Before I could Run to the car to get some change The man at the register stopped me and told me that it was OK. On top of the great customer service, the burrito was the best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had. I will definitely be back.

Fabulous tasting experience at one of Washington’s best distilleries. Bourbon and Rye lead the way, and there are often some special releases available here to try and buy. We loved the products but we also loved the friendly helpful and passionate staff.

Did the regular tour and really enjoyed it—super informative and just a good vibe all around. Loved that our guide, Jamie, actually works on the distilling side too, so you’re hearing everything straight from someone who’s hands-on with the process. You can tell they care about the craft. I didn’t do a bottle fill since I wasn’t able to bring one back with me, but if you ask nicely, they’ll usually let you try samples from the two barrels they’ve got out for their hand-fill station—very cool touch! Overall just a fun, nice tour with a knowledgeable and chill crew. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area.

For those interested in whiskey, booking a tour of this distillery can be a great experience. It includes tasting a variety of different whiskeys in a beautiful setting filled with a pleasant and inviting aroma, and the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable.

Been drinking WWC since they first launched 4 year offerings and whiskey keeps getting better. About 30-40 minutes outside of Lake Union area of Seattle. Architectural interesting venue. As for the whiskey, do the $20 premium offering of 4 whiskeys, about 1 oz pours. Tried 8 year bourbon and rye, Ginja, Rye Port, CS bourbon and 12 yr Founders. You can add extra pours as long as you don't slur your speach, lol. Favorite was the 8 yr bourbon. Ginja was a bit odd, overly plum note. Founders was very Dickel forward but tempered by MGP I would say. Can't ship to NJ unfortunately from the distillery but online it comes from California via website. Only open to 7pm. Going strong even after being acquired by LVMH sports group.

Great place to taste some really good whiskey and bourbon. They usually have some distillery only options as well. Tasting fee is $10 I think but waived with the purchase of a bottle. The staff is professional, polite and well informed. I have had many conversations about the options offered with Marcus, so if you get him, enjoy the conversation. Parking is tight as they share the parking lot with Hollywood Tavern (also great!).

I purchased this At-Home aging kit from Costco. I followed the directions to the T and I still couldn't get the barrel to seal and would leak. I could get water to stop leaking, but when I would fill with White Dog it leaked. I tried everything to include, emptying again, submerging in water for hours, and placing natural bees wax around the rim. I thought I got the leak to stop when I placed my barrel in my utility closet. After one month, I went to check the taste and noticed I had lost more than half of the yield and the barrel was light. I ended up just emptying the entire barrel and found out I had lost near 70% of the whisky. As you can see in the pictures, out of the 2 - 750ml bottles of barrel strength, I was only able to fill a quarter of ONE of the jars. This is entirely unacceptable for a $125 aging kit. I reached out to Woodinville and they said I could either stop by (not driving across the state) or they could send me a new kit. They have yet to send me anything. Don't waste your money. Update: Experience Manager Matt personally called me to apologize and is making things right. I believe customer service truly makes the product what it is. If you stand by your product, in this case whisky, then your customer service should mirror how good it is, and this is what they did. I will now make sure there's a Woodinville bottle in my cabinet at all times. Kodus and Cheers!

Absolutely the best bourbon in the country! Bret and Orlin have created something special here that is not to be missed!

Sirena Gelato’s dark cocoa cone had rich flavor—deep and chocolatey—but a bit lacking in creaminess. Not the smoothest texture, but still satisfying if you’re after bold taste. Nice spot to grab a scoop and stroll—great vibe with shops.

How happy we were in that hot day at Sirena Gelato! Ice creams were so delicious, the shop keeper warmly welcomed us with a smile, we all got the right one for us. Finally he gave a card for a free ice cream at the 10th come back the shop. It’s sure will be back for those free ice creams

This place looks super exciting from the outside but it can be frustrating once you are standing in the queue and for the staff. They have decent flavors but the staff seemed to rush as the queue got longer. We got the turkish coffee which tasted like it had mud on it but the pistachio was decent. Overall left this place a little disappointed with the experience but i can see why this is a hotspot for a lot of folks. Not for me but may give it a try again at a later time.

Tucked away next to the Starbucks on Kirkland Marina is this gelato shop The gelatos are light and creamy , not too rich but just right for summer I tried the pistachio , hazelnut and chickoo flavors All great Place is very kid friendly , low prices and huge servings

The gelato has just the right texture, with a perfectly balanced sweetness—not overly sugary. I ordered the purple sweet potato and matcha flavors.

Food Quality: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Sirena Gelato is a lovely little gelato shop in Kirkland and a great experience! This shop has a good number of flavors and some unique ones! I’ve never had chikoo, which was a flavor offered here. It was flavorful and a good sample to try! I ended up with the Ube and Pandan scoops - they were very generous too! The staff were super nice and did great with answering questions about the gelato and the shop was very well kept. Can’t wait to go back and try more flavors!

I always go for the hazelnut and pistachio flavors — they’re my favorites! They’ve added some new flavors, like padan, which smells amazing, but I still prefer sticking with hazelnut and pistachio. The gelato is creamy, rich, and always hits the spot. Perfect for anyone who loves nutty flavors!

Zoka in Kirkland greets you with tons of natural light, plants, and a few art displays—it’s a beautiful sight as you walk in. I tried the mocha, which was good (though not great) and a bit on the pricier side. When I visited on a Sunday morning, the café was busy and filled with chatter. It’s not the quiet Sunday morning vibe some might expect, but more of a lively, social atmosphere. Interestingly, even with the noise, people were still reading, working, or studying—it all felt in harmony. As a local, I grabbed my coffee and walked down to the waterfront to sit by Lake Washington, which was the perfect way to enjoy it. On Sundays, you can usually find free parking in the lot out front or near the waterfront.

I recently visited this coffee shop, and while the ambiance was undeniably chic and earthy-cute, it was unfortunately let down by the drinks. The coffee was disappointing—weak and lacked the richness I was hoping for. The tea was no better, and the lattes just missed the mark. The portions felt off, and they weren’t hot enough, which really took away from the experience. It’s a great place for a cozy vibe, but if you’re a coffee or tea lover, you might want to pass on the drinks here.

A great variety of flavors is offered. We tried hazelnut & pistachio latte - loved both. Looks like table & chairs don’t get cleaned often. We grabbed a table and it was very dirty & messy, and someone who grabbed the table next to us had the same complaint.

The service was great, and the staff were friendly. But, wow, the coffee's pricey, and there aren't many seats. Street parking's free, or it's a buck an hour in the lot.

3/10 Drink Quality: Expensive $10 small matcha latte, they don't make it well. Wrong color, tasted bad and not like matcha at all. Vibe: Decent place to work, music is loud so be prepared to listen to theirs but ample seating Wouldn't go back.

Zokka, used to be my favorite cafe in Kirkland but over the years, those sweet and kind people working there, were replaced by arrogant ones, unable to say good morning or thank you but still expecting you to tip for a service you havent received. Let's be honest, we pay for the coffee and the tips should be to compensate that extra mile a person is willing to take to make your experience unique but, this is not the case here anymore. Furthermore, when the cost of a coffee is 30% of the retail value, an increment of almost 100% on retail price shows that Zoka is here only for the profit, disregarding customer's loyalty. Why today was worse than before? Well, I ask for a 12 Oz latte with little foam and I was charged $1 extra because of the extra milk... really? The latte still is 12 Oz.. moreover, the latte is already over $8... how far are you going to take this to abuse your loyal customers???

Sad because I was so excited to come here! I didn’t get her name but the barista on the shorter side with dark hair and glasses was soooo rude. No smile, no grace, just upset to be working. Tapping aggressively on the screen for me to answer the tip prompt before I could even get a chance is crazy… Then after making my drink, she just slammed it on the counter without calling my name! On top of being extremely unfriendly, she made my drink hot when I asked for it to be iced. Didn’t want to interact further so I just accepted it and left. Worst part was that it wasn’t even busy in the shop! Not coming back here.

A super little park with lots of options. On the lakeside you have a wonderful Park, a pavilion for picnics, picnic tables, bathrooms, beachfront access, and a fabulous view of Rainier. (I'll do a separate review of that for families). Across the road, on the left side of the parking lot, is a fabulous trail. That loops up and back around to a road to the east, next to the parking lot. There is also an extended Denny Creek Upper Trailhead (separate review and a bit more challenging!). But it's gorgeous! It goes straight instead of turning right to the path over the stream. A few cautions on the loop trail: there are stone steps, stairs, some pretty steep hills up and back down, and a lot of roots. After rain, there are small bridge footpaths to escape the mud, but not always (so sometimes it gets muddy!). So it's not necessarily for those who aren't great hikers or a bit more hike "challenged". Be sure to be on the lookout for Sylvia, a 600-year-old tree that's the oldest cedar in King county. The plaque has worn off, but check it out. There are also several areas to catch salmon swimming at the right time of year and informational signs about the salmon. Shortly after entering the trail, it's like you're in a different world. Personally, it's one of my favorite little trails. Check out my other review for the extended Denny Creek Upper Trailhead.

Didn’t know this park existed till some day when I was passing then made a spot on my way out to test and see what’s was with the numbers of people there and boom. It was breath taking. It’s a great park. Good for families, dogs and kids.

Our favorite place for summer picnics. You get to see that crisp and amazing view of Mt. Rainier right from this park on a sunny day. Lots of trees for shades on a hot day. They have few Cabanas, a small sandy beach, lots of fire pit places and a children park too.

Beautiful park, perfect for grilling and watching the sunset. Each picnic table has a barbecue pit as well. So definitely get here early if you want the gazebo or the shaded picnic areas, because it is full sun exposure here, it is probably the best park to tan as well on a full spectrum day! A lot of families, and great photo opportunities. Certainly, keep an eye on your children this is a partially forested park, with a few odd humans, you never can be too careful. Nice forested entry to the park, we drove in, but it does look like a beautiful walk down too! Parking is difficult, but people come and go, so don't be discouraged. Be sure to support the old mail Jeep Ice cream man!

Nice hidden park on the Kirkland waterfront. Juanita beach park is a few miles away and is constantly busy on nice days. O.O. Denny is much quieter and more laid back. If you get there before 9am, you can always score a nice area for you, your family and your friends. They're currently working on the main play area, but there are barbecue grills and picnic tables aplenty!

Not the best maintenance or upkeep but small park with good views. Pay area can be noisy when people are celebrating birthday parties

Love it.. the water is amazing. It is big enough. You might find difficulty finding a parking spot when it is busy. It is so worth it !

Awesome park with big playground and sports fields, all updated 3 years ago. Popular spot for families every weekend and benches are always taken for birthday parties (first come first serve).

My daughter loves this park she always has a blast especially with the zip line the hill with the fake grass kids slide down on flattened cardboard boxes.. something different then other playgrounds.

Very good park for kids. Very good for one day picnic spot. You can celebrate birthday here.

All Kirkland Parks are great but the recent updates to 132nd Square Park has made this park one of our favorites. Lots of grassy areas for toddlers to run around. Great playground for little and big kids. We love the zen walk and foot path for adults too. We even had our son’s first birthday party here!

This park has been recently renovated and is probably one of the best around for littles. There are soccer and baseball fields. Nice restrooms with changing tables. Several covered picnic tables and grass areas too. The play area has swings, slides, and climbing areas. It also has a zip line. Not much shade on the play area so come prepared on a sunny day.

Awesome park that is worth the drive to get to if you aren’t local. Very clean, well laid out and great for many ages. We love the cardboard “sledding” hill & zip line especially!!

This park is a must. The kids will have a blast and parents can enjoy a few minutes of downtime. Pack a lunch, snacks and a few extra waters and let the kids get their wiggles out. Definitely worth the drive for at least an hours worth of play. You can easily spend a couple hours playing at this park.

Huge park, Juanita Drive separates this park into sections. I only explored the section off a side road where a residential street has parking a as nd several entrances into the trees and trails. Not many signs to show where you are. Easy to get lost. Trails were small with tree roots and mud after a rain. Quiet and beautiful walk we saw no other people or dogs. Will take a few visits to get to know entire area. No water there and no benches to rest also no signs 🪧 pay attention to where you are going to get back. The busy road hit us back to the car luckily.

Great very large park for picnics and play. Play structures for very young and older Kids. Baseball diamond, synthetic field for soccer, lacrosse and cricket. Great for dogs, and many trails through heavily treed open space.

I'm torn between loving it and thinking it was the most confusing hike I've ever been on! Lol I will say it might be a bit of a challenge for those 70+ (I'm 78), unless you're in shape. There are hills, lots of roots in the paths, no "directions" to find your way, and no seats to rest (except an occasional log). At first I panicked and texted my son where I was in case I got lost in the woods. I soon realized there's little chance of anyone having to send out emergency crews to find me - civilization is often within sight and there are several paths to will lead to them. But it is very confusing. I felt like I was going in circles (I was). You will constantly have to make decisions of going left or right, and sometimes up to a choice of 6 different path choices! I often I found myself saying, "Wait - this looks familiar!" But it's beautiful in there, with small paths leading through the forest, winding it's way over, up and around. I'll try it again! (BTW, I'm adding a map of the paths).

Perfect location to introduce trail walking and hiking to toddlers and young kids. Also plenty of trail for the big kids too! Big Finn Hill Park is just that - big! Multiple play structures, covered picnic area, a few picnic tables in the grass, lots and lots of trails, sport fields, bathrooms, and decent parking lot. Dogs on leash. Playground lacks shade.

A nice little trail. While you cannot escape the sound of the traffic, hearing the birds chirp makes up for it. You'll see a lot of folks riding their mountain bikes here. On a Sunday afternoon, it was a little crowded, but nothing to complain about. Though this is mentioned as stroller friendly, I would take that with an ounce of salt. My kids did enjoy the playground here as well.

Its a pretty good soccer field, lights are decent bathrooms has always been adequate clean when I have used them, water is always warm from the faucet 👍, the only downside seems to be the amount of mosquitoes in the early evening.

Nice park with easy urban trails... connecting the park with various residential communities. Free parking, children's playground area, baseball & sport field. Pet friendly! Lots of grassy areas to run, meditate, have picnics, do yoga, etc...

While limited menu, this place has the best minigolf courses of all the flat sticks. Always a series of interesting decisions with varying safer paths and high risk choices with water hazards and valleys.

Recently hosted a birthday party by booking whole golf course (Country Club Package) and it was such a hit for everyone who attended. Staffs were super nice and helpful from booking the space month ahead to day of the service. We brought our own food to feed ~50 people, then everyone got to open their own drink tabs and it was very easy process. Unlimited (and exclusive to the party) mini golf was included with country club package and everyone had great time! Highly recommend for big party option. Pricing is super reasonable and it was def worth it for special celebration!

Super fun place! Great drinks, board games to play at tables, and of course mini golf. Our kids stay entertained with the mini golf while the adults relaxed and caught up. Was a lovely evening!

Great selection of beers...... the service was fantastic the people there are super friendly....... the mini golf course is so cool and that they had games and other things to do there to keep my daughter occupied while we drank.

Craft beer, mini golf, games, friendly staff. What's not to like? They have a small food menu, the place isn't huge, 50 people would be crowded, 100 might be capacity. They have beer, wine, cider and seltzer, no booze or cocktails. There is a large pay parking lot in front. Located right near the water front.

Lots of beers and it’s a fun mix with mini golf

This has a great concept, but the execution has much to be desired. It's just too small a space for everything that they have going. The mini golf is crowded and cramped and not very interesting. You spend more time waiting to play than actually playing. Hubby did however, like the beer selection. Nice local craft beer. This place has also gone to the dogs, you can't walk through without either tripping over a dog or having one stick it's nose where you don't want it! It's a perfectly good place for a local hangout, but definitely not with the drive from Everett.

Everything is expensive in this plaza... I think it is just fake hype..so that's why may be so many spaces are Vacant still. The maintenance, parking overview is good, but only drawback is damn expensive..need to work on reducing the price structure

It’s a very good place to hang around with the children, family and friends. There are good places to eat and restaurants are there where you can enjoy their music and eat your favorite food and drinks. Shake shack is a very good place where you can get burgers made up of fresh organic meat products and chicken.

When we first heard about this new development, we were very excited as it seemed this plaza would bring more modern shops, but surprisingly; this place didn’t get much of traction. In comparison. Totem lake village which opened almost around the same time I’m not so premium location as Urban got a lot more attention from residence and businesses.. except for Seattle Coffee Gear and Shake Shack, the shops are not very known.

Salon Republic, QFC and various coffee shops are my favorite. This plaza has 4 hrs free parking plus EV charging station. A splash park for kids, playground and a short walk to the library.

Nice new modern live, work and shopping area. Great place to grab something to eat and sit outside and enjoy the sun ☀️

Lots of shops, restaurants, and coffee shops! They have fountains during summer season and even provide towels! Almost every Saturday from December 27 you can have a photo with Santa, or attend other activities. I attached photo with Santa’s agenda 😉

Shop QFC Park in 2 garages,, validate ticket at stores and shops. At this date 4hrs included with validation and no doubt changes as traffic increases.

Very favorite spot for fabulous lake views, other dog walkers, a distant view of the Seattle Skyline and plenty of parking, rest rooms and a children's playground, a beach and shade trees. Beautiful! Safe family park.

One of my favorite spots to watch the sunset. The view is absolutely beautiful and so calming — a perfect place to unwind and just take it all in.

A very nice place to relax in the shade of beautiful trees and look at the water surface. Here you can see California poppies (Eschscholzia californica), and Arbutus called madrones or strawberry trees

You can park at mash park and walk to Kirkland downtown. Great views in the way and as a reward u can get coffee once u reach the center

Such a lovely sweet little park! Relax and enjoy a sunset over Seattle skyline. We usually park on the street and walk the whole waterfront boulevard. Kirkland is a beautiful city!

A Nice part in Kirkland for a quick stop if weather is nice.

Beautiful small park to hang out. There isn't much seating but the grass lawn is very comfortable. During summer months you can just sit and watch the sunset and relax and this spot has been a source of many fantastic sunset photographs for me. There is a small picnic area on the right side of the park which sometimes is occupied but thankfully never noisy.

10/10 recommend. I booked the 53rd anniversary class where we learned how to roast a chicken, make a gravy for it, creamy potatoes, an insane salad, and a soufflé with a salted caramel sauce??? Literally SO insanely good. Caleb was the chef instructor and he was so patient and gave tips throughout the class. I’m already of thinking of booking my next class.

Just took a sweet-and-savory croissant class and Chef Amy was AMAZING! I was so amazed with her patience, her attention to detail, and her happy friendly demeanor! Our group got a bit behind and she worked with us to help us get caught up! I have taken about a dozen classes over the last 15 years through SLT and I think this has by been my favorite cooking class to date.

We took the Fall flavours of Italy cooking class with Chef Caleb and it was a phenomenally fun experience! We learnt a lot that ended with a delicious meal, Chef Caleb answered all our questions, helped everyone all while sharing Chef secrets with us. The stations are well planned, there is other staff helping clear stations and with baking! It was a wonderful date night activity and I can’t recommend it enough!

My boyfriend and I took this class with Chef Caleb and we had the best time! We learned so much, and felt inspired and confident in our new found abilities that we’ve been cooking together a lot more since! Thank you, Chef Caleb! We’ll definitely be back!

We did the croissant class here on our anniversary with chef Joey and it was soooooo good! We learned so many good tips about baking and handling the ingredients! The class is long and you will be standing all the time but it is very engaging and the vibe is great At the end you will get to eat or take your yummy creations

Great place for a cooking class if you want to learn something with other people. They have a variety of different options and have a bunch of classes to choose from on their online website. Classes do fill up fast tho even on weeknights they are about 3 hours long which includes the eating. I did past night and we made an amazing salad and 2 amazing pastas.

Paul was an awesome instructor! We had so much fun learning how to make Korean fried chicken and pot stickers! Highly recommend for a fun date night idea!

Grape choice is the best spot in Kirkland to enjoy wine, music, tasty food, and good friends! The tea and ownership are friendly in first class! The wine 🍷 selection is deep, good prices and quality.

Great place. Awesome selection of wines by the glass or bottle. Huge wine inventory. Staff is great. Always friendly and accommodating. Vibe is chill..Neighborhood type vibe. Indoor and patio seating (with heat lamps if ur cold) with a good view of the Kirkland Marina. A regular stop for me and my Golden. (Yes, well behaved dogs allowed too) What’s not to love?!!

The place seemed nice and they kinda had a view through the parking lot but the 3 stars is for false advertising. I did a lot of research on happy hour in the area and I double checked their website to make sure they offered it. So when we got there we asked the waitress about it and she said they were not doing it any more. I told her we drove out of our way and came here specifically for the happy hour and she just said sorry I’ll tell the owner to take it off the website. If you are advertising it on your site and a customer comes in specifically for it you should honor it. It put a damper on our day of exploring as I do not like being lied to. We tried the wine flight as we had driven all the way there and only one of the 3 wines were good. Quite expensive place, just a disappointing experience.

Enjoyed a nice happy hour by the lake here on a Monday afternoon! Discounted glasses of rosé paired with the Pacific board. Loved our experience and would definitely return.

I LOVE The Grape Choice ! It’s such a cozy, spacious, warm place besides Desirae one of the owners so nice and inviting I always have a great experience!

TL:DR - A near-perfect stop for a wine lover who likes an intimate and inviting setting. A myriad selection of wines which can be consumed and paired well on site with a delightful selection of charcuterie boards. Totally worth every cent and definitely worth a stop if wandering near the waterfront.

So bummed! They usually are open but today says 4 PM (August 16th).

This is my absolute favorite boutique! I’ve been here several times and I always walk out with at least one really great piece that I’m excited about and lasts! Great quality and great prices. The people who work there are wonderful and they pull really great looks for me 99% of the time. They are helpful and not pushy. I always a fun and pleasant experience here.

I walked into Purpose Boutique just to look around. In all honesty, I haven't been feeling good about the way I look after becoming a mom. That is, until I met MJ. MJ walked up to me, asked if she could pull some items to try on. I decided, to take a chance and I'm so glad I did. She pulled items I never would normally want to try on but I took a chance and tried everything on. I was a bit in shock at how good I felt and looked in some of the items she pulled. The style was a little different than what I usually gravitate towards and it was exactly what I needed. MJ Made me feel so beautiful by helping me step out of my comfort zone. The clothing is priced really well too.

Purpose is my absolute favorite place to shop! I spend more than I’d like to admit here, but the level of service from friendliness to stylists proactively getting you outfits whether you’re dropping in or ready to fill your closet is unmatched. Ari is my favorite stylist. I get so excited if she’s in the shop as she completely knows my style. I also love that they offer parties with friends for special occasions. And the fact they donate a portion of every sale to help women is icing on the cake. If you haven’t experienced Purpose, grab your purse, grab a friend, and go enjoy a couple hours of fun. They have seltzer and candy too. ❤️

Cary is my GIRL! Every time I go in I feel absolutely taken care of and like I have my own personal stylist. Her recommendations are always so on point with my style and she always pulls fun pieces for me to check out. She is so genuine in her affirmations and helping me find perfect pieces without ever pressuring me to purchase. She remembers our conversations and things I mention that it feels like catching up and shopping with a friend. I highly recommend becoming a VIP because the early sale shopping days are the best. My boyfriend loves coming in, sipping on some champagne, and hanging out with the team while I am shopping and catered to a personalized experience. While I wish I could keep this all a secret, I can’t recommend enough checking out this store and shopping with Cary.

Best Boutique around! Affordable and the service is top notch!! I always find something when shopping here and the ladies are so good at styling! Carrie helped me today and I loved everything she pulled for me. Can’t wait to go back!!

Such cute clothes and the staff are incredibly helpful. Marissa and Mandy helped me pick out several outfits, including some I loved but wouldn’t normally grab for myself. Will be coming back!

I have shopped at the Kirkland Purpose Boutique since it opened about four years ago. Every experience there has been positive. Staff is helpful without being pushy. The value for quality is excellent! However last week I had my first style session with them and it was absolutely amazing! I wanted help with coordinating layering pieces for a trip I will be taking overseas next week. Haley was my stylist and she was outstanding. Within and hour I had six pieces that were perfect for what I needed. They worked together as well as with what I already had. If you are considering a style session, do it. It is well worth your time.

Come see the Fourth of July at its finest brought to you by the Kirkland Downtown Association can’t wait to see you at the parade

This is an amazing organization that is focused on building community. They have over 100 days of community focused events each year, most are free to attend, and they partner with other non profits to extend their reach.

Beautiful place,love walking in Downtown

Was making a delivery at 6:05 AM and someone called in a noise complaint. City Ord. Says No noise until 6am.

Clean office, nice building, friendly people. They also have attraction brochures that can be very helpful.

Very nice walking area with plenty of food choices and Gelato

DUH! I love my town Kirkland is awesome during winter or summer come check it out and you will see what I mean!!

How does this place get a 4.9?! My husband and I were looking forward to stopping in just now since our daughter's ballet class across the parking lot ends at 12:30. We thought we could enjoy a glass of wine or 2 before we picked her up. As soon as we pulled into the open parking spot in front of their business, a man who was talking to another man immediately waved us away. He didn't even look at us. Just continued the conversation while pointing to his sign and shoo'ing us away. My husband asked if they were open and he says "oh yes, at 12" and it was 11:59. Would have loved to support this small business since we are here weekly. I won't bother.

We stopped by having a GroupOn certificate and I've never been so thrilled to use a GroupOn! The wine maker/owner was on the floor and spent a good amount of time chatting with us about the wine, even offering additional tastes. Bob is super friendly and his staff is equally as chatty and friendly. They answered any question we had and were warm and welcoming. The WINE is fantastic. I've never purchased 12 bottles at one winery on my first visit before! I will go back ... I have no doubt of that. You won't regret stopping by this winery. Great wine and good people!

My husband and I enjoy the atmosphere and the wine is wonderful. We do not live close by, but it is definitely worth the drive. They take care of you and always so friendly. We highly recommend!

The wine was great and the people who work there are so nice! The atmosphere was in limbo due to a flood, but they’re making the best of the situation. I look forward to going back in the future!

Great wines, many reds to choose from, and usually a couple whites, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Excellent musicians at their live music events. Like many wineries, they've cut back on their hours and days if operation. Their wine and chocolate event, pairing wines with chocolates from Brugge's Chocolates is amazing!

We have been visiting Northwest cellars for several years and love the quality of their wines. We private labelled the Cab, which has become our 'house wine' at home and particularly enjoy the amazing Intrigue, Fortissimo and Oscuro blends. Special events at the tasting room are a must if you enjoy great wine and good music.

We have enjoyed NW Cellars for a number of years. It is nice to go someplace that isn't always crowded and enjoy the company of a couple of great bottles of wine. We have rented the space for birthday celebrations as well as just decompressing with a glass. Their wines are top-tier. The space is cozy with a limited number of tables. There is live music on occasion. We highly recommend.

Stopped by here for the Miniature Show, beautiful collection with very talented artists. Loved how detailed the small canvases were.

I love this little gallery, great place to view local artists. I especially love the miniature shows they put on every year.

Loved the Miniature Painting Show!

I went during the reception for Zac Aquino, Filipino American artist. It was very cool to see the gallery support a young artist like this and see his work out front for the month of August.

A great place to visit while strolling downtown. They have a variety of art for different tastes.

Beautiful variety. Wonderful open show competitions too. Annual Miniature Show. Cute location.

Quality artwork. Always friendly and helpful staff. I believe they are actually contributing artists, since it’s a co-op.

Beautiful, quiet park— not as crowded as some of the others. The creek is so serene with the calming flow of water, and even has a sign with QR code to scan to verify its quality/health (how neat is that). Pure nature. If you need a place to think in peace— would highly recommend ❤️

Great overall park! 🐾 I take my dogs on walks around the trails. Regularly, my only complaint is that it gets a little soggy about half the year. ☔️ But as long as you're ready with a pair of boots, so are the dogs! 🐕 It's a good time, very family-friendly park.

Went there for the off leash dog area. Getting there by trail was pretty muddy. One of my dogs had an issue with the bridge and stairs because you can see thru them and they are metal. Dogs got to run around and roll in a very muddy standing water puddle. Stopped at the creek on the way back for them to clean off. Mission accomplished both are napping well.

This is a neighborhood gem. Nice metal bridge to walk through the rainy watery areas. It’s in the middle of a neighborhood but it’s such a fun small peaceful hike! There’s a picnic shelter and a big climbing structure. There’s a big dog park in the back. We love this hike. Very fun with kids

Great place to take your pup. Not a place to go after dark because it gets scary on those woods! Also, to get to the gated area is kind of a hike but once you get there it’s a tree covered play pen. Also, there is a shallow stream for your dogs to explore - love it.

Lovely and magical! The dog park is not a large open space. It's a series of fenced loops that interconnect. Very different from a typical off leash area

Absolutely love this park! It has a free parking lot but there’s also plenty free street parking options right next to it. Has a clean all gender restroom (wheelchair accessible). It has a fenced dog off-leash area with 3 small loops which are well groomed. Also has a little creek. A very well maintained quiet park tucked in the middle of the town. Would love to visit again!

Fantastic little park! There's so many cute characteristics in this park including a kid's park, community garden, rustic barn and some older/rustic artifacts spread around like tractors and even some old style gas pumps! Lots to see all around. The parking lot is a little small, located in front of the kid's park but the park doesn't seem to get too busy.

Such a cute park. It's small, but unique with vintage farm equipment, lots of grassy areas to hang out, and beautiful greenery.

Saw two friendly deers around 11:30. No human there besides us.

Beautiful Kirkland neighborhood park to stroll any time of year. Bring a blanket and have a picnic.

Great place to walk and to take the dog 🐕

Nice little park. The playground looks fun for children. There are apple trees around, which is nice. There are two picnic tables. It's a comfortable place with a good atmosphere for a picnic (the tables are close enough to have a good view of the playground but far enough that kids aren't falling from it on top of you).

We have a plot in the garden here and love this park! Has a flushing toilet bathroom that is mostly always open and always clean. Parking is good and lots of grass to run on

The east side has the best parks. Jasper's is the perfect size with lots of shade from trees, steep hills, and lots of p-mail. The reason it did not get a 5 start is that it's not well maintained. The gate locks are difficult to open, and the only seating is up steep grades covered in bark. As a person who uses crutches to walk, this is the least friendly park. What I'd like to see a bench nearer the entrance, and the little dog park extended to the lower gate area with accommodation seating.. The fences are falling apart, and blackberry stickers are taking over, too. A work party is overdue. With that, this is a reeeelly nice park. It just needs a little tlc and thoughtful seating.

Interesting dog park situated on a hill near an industrial area. There is an ability area and a section for small dogs too. I like that it's built into a side of a hill and it's wooded. Only draw back is there is no grass.

Water fountain at the Entrance near the street, will need to bring your own bowl. Has poop bags if you forget to bring some. This Park jas lots of shade and room to run. It's on a incline, so you will be walking uphill

Great park with some fun trails to explore. The biggest drawback is the parking. There are only 2 parking spots. If you stunt get one of these spots you have to park on the street. A bit disappointed that there weren't any agility items in the park to work with my girl. I enjoy working on training both agility and command training at dog parks because we can with in focus with a great amount of distraction. This is a great park for working on socialization and just letting you dog have fun.

Great off-leash park for dogs of all sizes. Small dogs have their own area fenced off from the big rough-housers! It can get muddy in the snow and rain so dress appropriately.

The area is pretty big and has some small but great wooded areas! There is an area for small dogs as well. Both areas have an agility course. The parking is the only reason this is a 4 stars instead of 5. There is literally two parkinf spaces right outside the park. You cannot park in the surrounding lots due to other buisnesses using them. I did not see a bathroom anywhere either so be prepared. This is another park where dog owners need to bring their own water either to share in thr communal dog bowls or just your own pup.

Nice, clean and quiet off lesh dog park
