    Top tier: desserts
    Huong L.

    This is the first time to the Kirkland location for afternoon tea and it was nice. There are street parking as well. This month they had kpop demon hunter themed , which was why we decided to try it out. You get to choose from a selection of tea to try. Total we tried 5. They are very good and distinct. The butterscotch smell was sooooo good. Foodwise: the savory section was ok. The cheese bread was soft and cheesy, the cold noodle with egg was good but bland, and the meat wrap was good but could have use 1-2 more lettuce wrap. Scone was probably my favorite of the entire thing. It was crispy outside, soft inside, goes really well with the butter, jam or on its own. Dessert tier was also top notch. The macarons was so soft that it feels like you're eating air. The cheesecake has a nice balance of flavor and creamy texture. The cream puff reminds you of a caramel apple, but I did wish the puff had a better crust. Service was good, the waiters were really nice and attentive. Overall it was a nice experience, and good for special occasions.

    Delicious cocktails and desserts. This is the place to go for a special date. I used to go to their Bellevue location and this Kirkland one is charming. The same attentive service and tasteful, elegant decor

    Pork Belly - the flavors are INsane

    Yesterday, I had one of the most unexpectedly magical birthday experiences -- and I just have to share it. My friend made the reservation as a surprise, and I had no idea what I was walking into... but wow, am I glad I went along for the ride. The concept was simple but brilliant: you pay for the experience and get unlimited tea, with the most heavenly in-house snacks and pastries included. And let me tell you -- this place did not hold back. The highlight? A mango cheesecake like no other. It wasn't just a cheesecake -- it was layered with sweet sticky rice. If you know, you know. Creamy, perfectly balanced, tropical heaven. And then came the Ube puff pastry -- crisp, flaky, full of rich flavor, and obviously fresh from their kitchen. Light but indulgent, it was honestly one of the best pastries I've had in a long time. And just when I thought it couldn't get better: the coconut macaron. Are you kidding me?! It was bold, sweet, and absolutely knocked my socks off. I wanted five more, no shame. But this experience wasn't just about the food (even though that alone would've been enough). It was about the people. Ana and the gentleman who served us -- let's call him the main tea man -- made the night truly unforgettable. He shared so much thoughtful detail about the teas, from why certain ones should be steeped at specific temperatures to how ingredients affect the flavor. It wasn't just service -- it was storytelling, and it made every sip feel intentional and personal. The atmosphere? Immaculate. Clean, chic, and the perfect vibe if you're looking to dress up, grab your besties, and make an event of it. They even host events -- and now I know where I'll be gathering the girls next. Honestly, stumbling into this place (thanks to my amazing friend!) was the best way to celebrate my birthday month. If you're a tea lover, a pastry enthusiast, or just someone looking for something different and delightful, please go. And go soon -- because those Ube puff pastries won't be around forever. Treat yourself. You deserve it.

    The ambiance of this place is really well done! You get the whole vibe of an English tea party for sure! Love the soft colors and seating area towards the back - more private. The food was great. They have a vegetarian option too. Got to try 3 teas and enjoyed them all. Love the headwear props available to take pics. This place doesn't have an official sign outside just yet so it's easy to miss. It's by flatstick pub. But we gotta talk about the service...and the outfit...Service was very slow and not up to my expectations - for a 65 dollar tea time experience. Our server forgot to bring milk even though she was asked twice. We were a party of 7 and all of us felt like our table was "ignored". On one of the pours, the tea wasn't even fully brewed and was a pale color. This should have been checked before it was brought to the table. For a cute, posh, sophisticated high tea experience, I was not expecting that our servers would be wearing miniskirts that looked more like sportswear and that you could see their bottoms. If we're trying to stick with a classy ambiance, I would suggest changing the outfit to something more classic.

    Garden in bloom afternoon tea set in April

    Picture perfect cafe for an afternoon tea. I'd recommend not eating beforehand as they give you so much food. I really enjoyed all the savory and sweet treats and trying the different teas. The only downside is parking is hard to find in downtown kirkland on the weekend. Love that they change up the menu depending on the season. Below was the Garden in Bloom menu in April: Savory Tier: -Asparagus Bechamel Vol-au-vent -Lemon Shrimp & Beet Hummus in Endive -Prosciutto & Tomato on Focaccia -House Scone and accoutrements ​ Sweet Tier: -Pistachio Rose Cheesecake -Earl Grey Lavender Macaron -Jasmine Jackfruit Cream Puff It is quite expensive though at $90 per person after tax and 20% mandated gratuity.

    Cute for our friends baby shower sprinkle
    Molinda K.

    We came here on a Sunday with 6 of our girlfriends for our friend's surprise baby sprinkle and it was perfect. It was a cute setting in the downtown Kirkland area, with lots to do nearby. We enjoyed the 3 tier more than we have expected. The $60 pp also comes with unlimited tea service, the tea green tea was my favorite. The service was decent, can be tricky for one server to pour tea for the whole restaurant as there were moments where we really wanted more but everyone was busy. I would come again here for special occasions! What a treat!

    Beautiful table setting for 3

    I went in fully expecting to be disappointed yet again by another expensive and not worth it tea experience. I am SO glad to say I was wrong! It was a little difficult to find and parking was a challenge. I am a tea drinker so I thought the teas I tried at their Afternoon Tea would give me a taste of several I'm familiar with. The teas here were nothing like what I know. Another guest tried the Earl Gray last because she has never been a fan. She was surprised at the amazing flavor. She said, "now I know why Jean Luke Picard likes Earl Grey!" It is a totally different tea than she has ever had. It is refreshingly delicious. My favorite was the hibiscus ginger. Shocked?!? I know!!! It shocked me too! New gold standard. Jonas told us amazing stories about teas. We clearly saw Jonas' passion for teas and his care in providing the best for his customers. Clayton served the teas and shared the process to make these amazing teas their best. The monthly theme was "Into The Wild" and when I made the reservation, I fully expected to be stopping at McDonald's on the way home but the flavors were fantastic! I don't like mushrooms but the wild mushrooms and goat cheese gallette (pictured on the bottom tier) didn't move from my plate unless it was disappearing between my lips. I was grateful for the kid's menu option and they delivered there as well! The only negative thing I could say is I'd love to go at least once a month and experience every theme but the price point is more for special occasions.

    Labubu pastries. I don't collect them. I eat them!

    BEST TEA SERVICE! Yes, ALL CAPS! If you want to savor an atmosphere of whimsical romance, indulge in a curated (&humorous) experience of culinary delights, and the most luxurious and flavorful teas then I recommend FogRose Atelier. Tea service would be nothing without TEA and I loved that we could try all the teas (my favorites were Earl Grey and Secret Garden). Some folks compare FogRose to the Fairmont (which gives you one pot of tea that will be watered down over time). Each tea at FogRose was made and served with perfection by skilled staff who provided us with a brief history of each tea. In our fast-paced day, it was a true indulgence to relish the simple ritual of hot tea with family and Labubu pastries. Each month is a different theme and we can't wait to return.

    I would say super just OK experience and not worth the price overall. It was a one and done thing for me. The BAD: - Service can use improvement. I had to ask for a new plate and they left the dirty plates. They also left the menus on the table and everything was cold on the tiers so it was ready as soon as we got our tea. - The food was just okay. Nothing was super yum, and nothing seemed homemade. It looked better than it was. - The tea never stayed hot. I also felt like I had to keep asking for a refill. - The price, it's not worth $90 after tax and tip. There wasn't anything super special about the experience - Giving them a call for my baby shower they never gave a call back and then when I went to try this tea place out with my sister I could only make reservations online. The GOOD: - Location is great in kirkland. The day was sunny and I liked the big doors with the sunlight coming in. - Decor was nice. The setting and the place itself had great atmosphere that was picture worthy. Loved that they let my daughter wear a crown. - The welcoming and explanation of the menu and how it works was done right. - It's quiet in there. It definitely feels like a tea room.

    I love the idea of FogRose Atelier, in the sense that their Afternoon Tea was traditional with a twist of flavors. I'm sure not all visits are the same, as they are seasonal and have an array of flavors. Cool that they have different types of teas, and you could try all of them, just ask as they refill your cup with a communal teapot dependent on the flavor of your choice. Not a large space at all, we made reservations and ended up at the bar which is actually quite cool to witness the workers setting up teas, and plating. Good service overall. My main reason for a knock of a star is despite the unique pastries and savories, I didn't find it to be exceptional and the price point is a bit steep for what you get. Been to more affordable and delicious spots for sure.

    Regular and vegan menu offerings

    I had a lovely afternoon tea here for my birthday. FogRose is currently mid-move and doing pop ups at various locations. This week, they were at NYB Art Gallery in Kirkland. It was a fun vibe with bright paintings on the walls and the more traditional tea service set up. My friends and I really enjoyed the atmosphere! Onto the tea and food - the unique thing about the FogRose tea service is that you order by cup, meaning you can try as many teas as you want rather than committing to a pot of one type of tea. I enjoyed the Cameronian and the Lychee Green. We were also offered a non-alcoholic glass of champagne to start - very cute! Overall, the food was good and filling. I enjoyed the smoked salmon sandwich the most and the desserts were all very tasty and unique! My party had one vegan and one gluten free diet restriction that FogRose kindly accommodated. Everyone said they had enough food and enjoyed what was offered, but for the price I definitely think my vegan friend should have gotten more food and more of a variety. I'd recommend FogRose Atelier to any tea-lover!

    I took my mom here for her birthday and we both had a lovely time! The savory options were probably some of the better I've had (compared to a few other high teas I've been to in Vancouver) - they were more than simply cold little tea sandwiches. Desserts had an interesting twist as well - lychee rose macarons, blueberry lavender cream puffs, and mango mousse dome cakes. Tea service is unlimited, with a few options each of black, green, and herbal teas to choose from. I wish the flavors were as creative as the desserts, but were just standard to me. The staff were kind and prompt, and didn't make us feel rushed at all. The 90 minute slot was just the right amount of time for us to enjoy the experience, and we were quite full afterwards. My main criticism is that I don't think they emphasize enough that Fogrose is a pop up, and that the location changes and is hosted by another business! If I hadn't looked at other reviews, I would have simply used the address on Google Maps and not realized it was different from the one on the reservation email. And even getting the right address, I still would have been confused that it took me to a different business (The Rouge Lounge this time) which looks completely different from earlier Yelp pictures in a bright white setting. Only until I got up to the door was there a small sign marking Fogrose. All in all, just make sure to follow the email, and go early to make sure you can find the right place!

    Came for afternoon tea. Cost is $60 per person with a 20% surcharge. I tried each tea off the menu. Each was delicious but my favorites were the earl grey and rose congou. Food selection included eggs Florentine, smoked salmon on ciabatta bread, roasted beets with couscous and a blueberry scone. Dessert included an ube cream puff, coconut pineapple mousse and I had my macaron swapped for a sorbet. Savory dishes were decent but the sweets and desserts were very tasty. Service was exceptional. Staff was friendly and very attentive. The experience was very pleasant and the restaurant was clean. Bathrooms were outside of the restaurant down the hall with a combination needed.

Sat at the bar and tried out some happy hour specials. Got the Korean sauce wings ($12) and cheese truffle fries ($8). Decent amount of fries, definitely has cheese flavor but not that much truffle oil aroma. I liked the wings which you get 6 per order. They weren't fried, but rather tender and juicy. Sauce was agreeable. Definitely enough food for my dinner. As for the drinks, I got the rosemary mule which is Moscow mule with some rosemary herb. The copper mug they use is good sized. Tasted refreshing although could feel the alcohol afterwards. Also tried a corpse reviver no. 2, which was a little sweet but has a punch. Cocktail prices are not cheap outside of happy hour, in the upper teens. Overall, was glad I tried the place out. Will drop by for happy hour once in a while.

That's something very refreshing to see in the service industry. The lunch bento set was wonderful - the sushi upgrade was definitely worth it too IMO, because I'm a huge aburi toro fan. Everything from the beef croquette to the salad with crispy fish skin and ikura was delicious. The food presentation/plating was 10/10 and it was a feast for the eyes too. Even the grilled chicken rice bowl with the onsen egg was so yummy. We also loved the yuzu mixed drinks as well. The birthday dessert with a yuzu jelly topped with meringue and edible flowers added the perfect finishing touch to our meal. The ambience, food and service were all a home run for me. That says a lot because VERY few restaurants are able to achieve the perfect trifecta of all 3. Hopefully they will keep these high standards up! This is now one of our favorite restaurants in Kirkland and we've already told all our friends to come check it out.

The food is quite good. I wouldn't call it authentically Mexican, but rather a contemporary, slightly elevated interpretation of Mexican cuisine. Personally, I would have loved a bit more of those bold, authentic Mexican flavors to come through, but overall, the dishes were enjoyable and beautifully presented. The staff was genuinely warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout the evening. I did change my mind shortly after being seated and asked to move from indoors to the patio. Our hostess, Aguilera, gave me a quick look that said, "Really? Already?" but was very gracious and accommodating. In the end, moving outside was definitely the right call! The wooden chairs indoors look beautiful but become a little uncomfortable after sitting for a while. The carved seating cocoons along the walls are visually striking and add a lot of character, although they're probably better for admiring than for a long, leisurely dinner. The outdoor seating, on the other hand, was very comfortable. The biggest opportunity for improvement is the acoustics. Conversations really travel and bounce around the interior, which naturally leads everyone to speak louder just to hear each other, creating a bit of a vicious cycle. During a busy dinner service, it can get quite noisy. That said, I'd absolutely come back and happily bring friends or visitors for a memorable dinner. My preference would definitely be a nice-weather evening with outdoor seating, where you can really enjoy the view and atmosphere. Pro tip: Ask for a Carajillo! It's a Mexican espresso cocktail that can be surprisingly hard to find done well. They have one here, and it was delicious, beautifully presented, and one of the highlights of the evening.

    Our whole group was very disappointed with our dinner experience tonight. We were there for about 2…read more1/2 hours, and our server was essentially absent the entire time. We had to repeatedly flag down other servers and bussers just to get basic things like water refills, blankets, and a dessert menu. Our server was a young, slim Indian gentleman. We didn't catch his name because it wasn't listed on the receipt, but he walked past our table multiple times without ever checking on us. I ordered my steak medium, but it came out blue rare. As you can see in the photo, it was extremely undercooked. Since I'm pregnant, I wasn't willing to take the risk of eating it, so I ended up leaving most of it. Overall, the location and the view were absolutely beautiful, but the service and food were both disappointing. No one at our table enjoyed their meal. The tacos were okay, but nothing memorable. Based on our experience, I don't understand the hype surrounding this restaurant.

    I came to RockCreek with my best friend for happy hour, which runs from 2-5 PM, and it was a great…read moreexperience overall. We initially sat outside, but the staff let us know that happy hour is only available inside. It was a little different than expected since the weather was nice, but no big deal. We moved inside and got settled with the happy hour menu. Our waiter was excellent throughout the entire visit. He was attentive, checked in on us often, and made sure we had everything we needed. We ordered some drinks and started trying different dishes. We got the calamari, oysters, paella, and crab cakes, and everything was really delicious. The calamari had a nice presentation and came with a sweet and sour sauce. My only small note was that there seemed to be more vegetables than calamari, but the flavor was still great. The oysters were packed with buttery garlic flavor, which was amazing. The paella was simple but incredibly tasty, and the clam was cooked perfectly. The crab cakes had a great crunch and came with a white sauce underneath that tied the whole dish together. Overall, RockCreek's happy hour was definitely worth checking out. Great food, good service, and a fun spot to enjoy with friends!

    Went on a Monday, place wasn't too busy, but service was super slow…read more The tuna tartare wasn't seasoned at all! The poboy is ok, but would be better with something else besides bacon. The bacon is overpowering. Another table, must have been their favorite customer, got prompt service...

    Ate outside - excellent weather for outdoor eating…read more Had the Breakfast Sandwich - loved it. The arugula was the finishing touch I enjoy. Our waiter, Manny had some excellent suggestions and said the breakfast sandwich is their favorite and they eat it at least once a week. I can totally relate to that! The stay at the Heathman Hotel has been a surprising chance on a hotel sight unseen. I love the details they focus on (there is even a working scale in the bathroom). Totally recommend this hotel and it will be a go to in the future.

    Bar and restaurant connected to the Heathman Hotel. Not the experience I was expecting…read more.. Unfortunately, the food and drinks really fell short during our visit. I ordered a glass of wine off the menu, and their choices of wine by the glass were not good. We also tried a few appetizers; they were okay enough that we finished them, but there was absolutely nothing memorable or worth ordering a second time. The actual setup of the place is nice, it has a beautiful bar area and an outdoor seating space for nice weather. However, the vibe just wasn't incredibly welcoming. To make matters worse, the staff was very mediocre and not super friendly, which really dragged down the whole experience. I really wanted to have a better experience here given how perfect the location is, but based on this visit, I wouldn't recommend it. With so many other welcoming spots within walking distance in Kirkland, you are better off looking elsewhere for good drinks and a friendly vibe.
