I recently tried Mia's Chicken Sandwich and asked to swap the mayo for buffalo sauce--great choice!…read moreIt added a nice kick while still feeling like a lighter, healthier option. Before our meal, they served complimentary bread and butter. The bread was incredibly soft, fresh, and honestly one of my favorite parts of the experience. The restaurant itself is quite spacious, with both indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside, which was pleasant, although it can get a bit noisy since it's located on the main street. The service was friendly, attentive, and quick. I could definitely see this being a great spot to bring a laptop, get some work done, and enjoy a glass of wine. The atmosphere is relaxed, the food was delicious, and the overall experience was very enjoyable. I'd happily come back.

The giant pretzel is a must-order, and the cheese curds are exactly how they should be--crispy on the outside with the perfect amount of chewy cheese inside. We also loved the nachos and the spicy chicken sandwich, which had just the right amount of heat. The cocktails are fantastic. I had one with "Beach" in the name, and it literally tasted like a vacation in a glass. If you're an Old Fashioned fan, ask for Bodie--he's one of the best bartenders around and makes an incredible one. Whether you're enjoying the spacious patio on a sunny day or hanging out inside, there's plenty of room to relax. Great food, great drinks, and great service--highly recommend!

This is a fun dog friendly space. The service was great!…read more I'd say the pricing was a bit high for what you get. We ordered the blackened salmon sandwich, a basic hot dog, and two drinks. Our tab was almost $100. The sandwich had no seasonings that I could see and was pretty plain. I'd probably come back for a happy hour, but would eat elsewhere.

After waiting in line we were up next, the cashier said they were no longer serving breakfast, it was 11:02 by the time it was our turn to order. Leaving this review since it was a poor customer experience to not have been told when we called about the breakfast hours and not been served when we were in line before they stopped breakfast. That being said the establishment is nice and cozy, the staff were friendly, and they seemed to have a good selection on their menu.

Stopped in here for breakfast this past weekend…read more I enjoyed my quiche and salad. Not sure why there was a small blob/smear of tomato paste on top of the quiche. It didn't enhance the flavor, so I scraped it off. He ordered the breakfast platter and said it was okay. The potatoes with mama lil's peppers were great. The eggs tasted like powdered eggs, tho. Our drinks and the banana bread we got were all good. I'd go back!

We arrived around 5pm on a weekday and was maybe the only other party in the restaurant. There's an…read moreunderground garage below the restaurant. There's a sign that says parking for Island Soul. We mistakenly went to the adjacent underground parking garage. You tell the waiter your license plate to validate parking. The chickpea curry was a bit bland. The tostones were good garlicky and crispy. The coconut cake could have been moister and less sweet.

Island Soul is AWESOME! Island Soul bought/replaced Arleana's in downtown Kirkland. I have always…read morewanted to dine at the Island Soul in Columbia City, but it was always crowded requiring some planning. We made a reservation the day before easily. The interior is superb. This place would be great for date-night or get a drink or have a family meal. Our server was attentive and helpful, making a change for us last minute with a 'I gotcha ya' attitude - LOVE! Thank you! The food is so, so good! The Seattle area doesn't have enough 'soul', southern, creole, 'island' type of foods. This place fills the perfect niche. I have the urge to say 'hmmm, hmmm' dining here! Yum! Parking is free under the building, and nearby street parking tends to be available, too. The Food: Blackened Salmon, $33 - 5 Stars Menu: Salmon, corn soubise, fried plantains, fried okra We both wanted this as our main dish, so this is a 2X. The salmon is perfectly seasoned and grilled. You can SEE the seasoning on the fish. So glad they included pieces of okra. The frying/searing gives it the perfect chew. Fried Green Tomatoes, $15 - 5 Stars Menu: Green tomatoes, panko, egg, onion, Buddha's belly seasoning This dish is known as their must order. I have no clue what Buddha's belly seasoning is, but I can tell you it is tasty. Fried green tomatoes is a perfect southern dish (and I will always think about the movie). Wings, Jerk seasoning, $18 - 5 Stars Like many, we're suckers for wings. Even better if the seasoning is different. Jerk wings is rightfully popular, here. The sauce is generously applied, and every bit is delicious. The flavorful foods will have me returning for sure!

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.

Since I'd never tried this cuisine before, the staff were super sweet and helped me navigate the menu. They suggested the Beef Rendang with Roti Canai, and it was delicious. The beef was incredibly tender and flavorful, and that flaky 'bread thing' (the Roti) was perfect for dipping. It's a cozy, family-run spot where the service really makes you feel welcome. If you're a first-timer like me, don't be afraid to ask for help..they'll point you toward something great!

I was a bit disappointed with the portion of my Nasi Lemak with Pork Belly seasonal dish. The rice took up most of the dish. For the price it seemed a small proportion. No one raved about the food as we ate either. I forgot to ask everyone's opinions. The decoration was cute and almost like a hostel with all the Malaysian and USA flags. The staff was very kind and friendly.

No brainer…read more You will most likely be waiting so definitely get on the wait list but don't worry there's 2 small docks to walk or sit down to look at the beautiful views especially on sunny days. You will have a higher chance to sit down at the bar and get food faster but wife and I decided to wait for a booth to get the full experience and it did not disappoint. We had a great view of the water and the food was pretty amazing. Simple but delicious! Everything tasted fresh and delicious! We will definitely be returning to try other dishes! Only down fall is the parking is super duper small but there's plenty of street parking along the road. But we got blessed and pulled up once someone was leaving and got VIP spot haha.
