PRICE:
Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

The combination of Northwest cuisine and a view across Lake Washington to Seattle has made this restaurant--in the upscale Carillon Point retail, office, and condo development--a favorite of Eastside diners (we've heard even Bill Gates eats here). The setting is decidedly nouveau riche and about as close as you get to a Southern California setting in the Northwest. The daily-changing menu is not so long that you can't make a decision, but varied enough to provide some serious options. To start, the crab cakes are a favorite, as is the calamari. Entrees are usually equally divided between seafood and meats, with at least one vegetarian dish on offer. Nearly every table has a view, and in good weather you can eat on the deck.
