Looking for a spot near Kirkland waterfront and found this place. Great atmosphere friendly staff. We sat outside and nice view after the parking lot of the park and waterfront. Ordered mushroom flat bread and it was delicious. Drinks we tried the Keyser Saze and last widow. Both were delicious. Def will come back to this spot. read more

This a great spot and is open late. The ambiance and vibe are classy but casual. The servers are friendly and attentive. The cocktails are outstanding. And the menu has lots of great snacks that can be shared as you sip fancy cocktails. The tater tots are a particular favorite. Definitely a great spot to meetup with some friends. read more

The place is small, intimate. Really ideal for a small group or a couple. The music is a bit loud for conversation, not quite in the background, but we were able to hear one another well enough by leaning in close. The food was delicious. We had the Hawaiian flatbread, edamame (wonderfully spiced), truffle tots, and crudite plate. All were delicious, particularly the onion jam with the veg. The staff were accommodating of our special needs family members. The seating is not terribly comfortable but it fits the casual vibe nicely. We will go back. read more

This wasn't our first choice but when we were turned down at another bar due to seat unavailability, we decided to try them out. We were immediately seated and attended. The server was sweet and friendly and walked us through the taste profile of different cocktails. I ordered the Big nutty Fig which tasted like an old Fashioned but sweeter. As a result, I ordered the Old fashioned after that lol. The other people in my party ordered The Sage Old Fashioned, the Kentucky Mule and straight up Elijah Craig as well. None of the drinks disappointed. We also got the fries with Fetta and Honey and the stake and tomato Flatbread. Very unusual combo but both kick ass. The bar is not huge but there is plenty of seating and some outdoors as well. Service was fantastic. read more

Stopped into Vovina for some drinks and had an awesome time! Service was on point, and the vibe was just right. The outdoor patio is super cool--with plenty of seating and a couple of fire pit tables that make it extra cozy. We had a few shots of Jameson, a Midori Sour, and a Blueberry Lemon Drop--all delicious! Definitely a great spot to chill and sip with good company. read more

Cozy little spot with great vibe! Little longer wait time to get a table and it's first come first serve basis so just have to wait there for a table which can be a little tedious. Cocktails were refreshing and food was good - we got the truffle tots and flatbreads. Flatbreads could use more flavorful toppings but overall good! The dessert was unique and delicious. Definitely a spot where you can enjoy your time and spend hours chatting away with a bottle of wine. read more

Don't go for Happy Hour because service is terribly slow. (Maybe for non-HH is worth it but I won't be finding out.) If you go, just get a drink. Order you next round when you finally get your first drinks. You will have long finished your first drink before your server comes back. As for food, it's ok but I ate mostly from the HH menu. The flatbread is fine but it's a pizza with an upscale name. As for the tots, why did they take over a half hour? They are generic tots. I can't believe you have that small of a frier or you got so slammed with tot orders to take so long. read more

Ordered flat bread , chicken skewers and steak bites . Food was good and so were the drinks . I had the old fashion which was nicely done ! Service was courteous and fast with good suggestions.

TINY restaurant, TINY staff, TINY tables, TINY portions - HUGE PRICE!!! To the business owner Katy B. who leaves incredibly snarky replies to poor reviews and tries to discredit their legitimacy by claiming that the folks didn't pay their bill or were in a different restaurant than Vovina. I was in your restaurant and I paid - all $70 for my TINY meal and uninspiring drinks! At Vovina on a Wed night for happy hour, $70 will get you: - 1 dirty gin martini - I like gin, I love olives, but I hated the drink. Sent it back sans one taste and one olive and wasn't comped. - 1 of the worst margaritas I ever had - who uses lemon instead of lime without mentioning it? Tasted like watery lemonade served in a highball glass instead of a margarita glass - I would have sent it back but didn't want to pay $19 without getting anything to drink other than water! - 1 small salad with a good-sized chicken breast - 1 "small plate of Brussel sprouts" as it was named on the menu. They were the highlight of the evening. Order ahead and get those for takeout - skip the rest of the experience. Also: TINY restaurant - There was no air-conditioning and very stale unmoving air - scary for COVID. TINY staff - the reviews that say "don't come here for happy hour are 100% correct. I was there from 3:45 - 6:00 pm (yes, it took that long to get and pay for my TINY expensive meal, The red-head female bartender that others have referred to was working her butt off! She was super-pleasant despite having to tend the bar, take orders, and often deliver the food for seven tables (inside and outside). They had one other person bringing out orders. Finally, another server arrived at 6 pm to help serve the 25+ customers. I left a 20% tip (minus the cost of the martini I returned because I felt bad for her). I saw people bussing their own tables. TINY tables - I guess it is good that the portions are so small because the tables are puny and we had to keep shifting our food and empties around so that our 4-person group could eat. Would have been helpful to have more staff to bus tables. I wish that I had read all of the true negative reviews before going. Now all I can do is warn others. read more

They're open on Mondays which is rare. It's actually the reason we chose to go there. The place is a little "dive-y" - a bit beat down. They raved about their charcuterie board but I didn't see anything special (I am not a fan of "meat blocks" on a charcuterie board or anywhere else). Truffle tots was identified as their "prize dish". It was good. Not amazing. Overall, if you're looking for a hang on a Monday - go to Vovina. If you're hanging on a Wednesday, try something else.

He was very friendly and attentive. Cocktails were $14 each, little high. Charcuterie was just ok but not worth $24. Wish it had soft cheese as an option and different crackers. Described as good for 3-4 people but I don't agree. I think 2 people. I would come back since I do like this place but I would order smarter next time. read more

I've been to plenty of craft cocktail bars, but nothing quite like this one. The bartender--who is also the owner--takes mixology to a whole new level. We're talking scientific precision here, using actual lab equipment to craft drinks that taste as incredible as they look. One drink in particular, "garden" completely blew us away. It was unique, balanced, and absolutely delicious--just one of many standout cocktails we tried. Beyond the drinks, the atmosphere was amazing. The bartender was welcoming, generous with his time, and let us sample and explore different flavors. It felt more like a fun experience than just a night out. Prices were surprisingly reasonable for the quality, and the small bites were spot-on. The whole venue had great energy, and I honestly can't say enough good things about it.

It's at the corner of one of the buildings. Dark, mid sized interior with some cool neon lights and light up marble pattern bar counter. Not very busy when I went at happy hour/dinner time on a Friday night, but the place is busier later at night on Friday/Saturday during the warmer months. Sometimes they have events and DJs. 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.

He's a big reason that we had such a wonderful first experience at Noii and I sincerely hope Management takes notice and promotes this guy to become a manager because he clearly is so passionate about his job, cares about the customers he serves and so knowledgeable about the food! 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.

I'd go back.

The food here is really good, packed with flavor, and offers a truly authentic Thai dining experience. Along with the excellent dishes, they also serve up a great selection of unique, well-crafted drinks that pair beautifully with the spice and heat of the menu. The ambiance is fantastic, offering a really nice balance with both a comfortable indoor dining room and a great outdoor seating space for when the weather is nice. To make the experience even better, the service is consistently great I definitely recommend this place! If you are in the area and looking for high-quality, authentic Thai food with a great atmosphere and top-tier service, it is absolutely a must visit in Kirkland.

I also love their wings (great deal on happy hour), the sausages and phad kee mao noodles. Everything taste fresh and always delicious. Cocktails are great accompanying the Thai food. Isarn is great for all occasions or anyone that's adventurous to try pretty authentic thai food. Parking can be a bit difficult on a busy day but it's worth it. There's a couple of parking garages a block or two away. Wait is always reasonable and food comes out around 20 mins. Service is always warm and nice. They have a small bar on the right side perfect for 2 wanting to get happy hour or the dining room if you're here with family / friends.

We parked inside the hotel parking garage (later validated the ticket, which applies for 2 hour parking slots), and walked into the restaurant from the garage. We were seated indoors as there weren't any out door tables available but our table was close enough to the deck so we had plenty of sunshine. The rest of the indoor restaurant is beautiful with its tropical/island feel. Our server, Joanna, was super friendly and helpful at providing recommendations. We had margaritas, guacamole with corn, Mahi mahi tacos, potatoes with bacon and sour cream, and the frijoles/pinto beans. Everything was so flavorful and fresh, my favorite was the Mahi Mahi taco plate. Would love to comeback for more! Happy eating!

It felt intimate and beautifully placed with care and love. Now the happy hour... one of the best I've ever had. I visited shortly after they opened to experience their happy hour from 4 PM to 6 PM. I enjoyed a well poured glass of red wine, guacamole and chips, & their smoked mushroom tacos. Phenomenal!! Everything is incredibly well priced as well (I almost want to keep this happy hour a secret!) I absolutely recommend this restaurant, especially their happy hour! I'm not sure about the rest of their menu items, but their happy hour hit it out of the park and they will definitely be seeing me back again for it.

My husband and I came in on a Monday, and while it didn't feel busy to us, I noticed the lack of a host and only two servers covering inside and outside. Our server, while kind, patient, and knowledgeable, was definitely juggling and struggling. It was actually the manager who noticed we needed a little more attention and greased the wheels to get our drinks and food out quicker. We loved this extra bit of service from leadership. This place is good, the remodel is beautiful, the food is fun and creative, and the staff (albeit limited) genuinely seems to perform well under pressure.

We sat outside since it was a nice day and we had our pup with us. Plenty of seating inside and outside. And its right by the lake; (sunset was on point when we went) What we got: Fried kalamari (4.5/5) *not pictured Very creative! Its more of a fried calamari salad; served in a chinese style to go box; i think we found it cool. The calamari was nicely fried; and the breading has sesame seed powder? I think it was delicious! And pair it with the bitter leaves; and some kind of soy dressing. Fried smashed potato (5/5) Delicious! Love some good smashed and deep fried potatoes; and nicely pair with the morney sauce. 1/2 crab fried (5/5) This is sooooo good. It was nicely fried, plated and taste delicious with the aioli and fried basil and everything else that came with it. We also got a couple drinks that were pretty good (not picture) Lots of option when it comes to the drinks Overall it was a good choice to stop by here. Prices reflect the kind of restaurant it is and what it serves; no surprises there.

I saw that Hearth was having a Valentine's Day 3 course meal! I made a reservation a few weeks in advance and they messaged me a couple of days beforehand to let me know the menu offerings which I thought were really nice and showed quality impeccable preparation! We truly enjoyed the wild mushroom tartlet, both entrees (lobster saffron risotto and the chicken roulade) followed by the desserts of chocolate crème de pan and the basque cheesecake! We also loved the wine pairings with all the courses! My favorite was one of the dessert wines. Our server was fantastic and the team is so friendly! The ambiance is dim lit but very pretty inside.

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.

They consistently nail the texture: lightly crisp on the outside with a soft, chewy center. I also really appreciate that there's indoor seating. The last time I went, my parents were visiting, and we sat inside sipping tea and chatting. It felt warm, cozy, and just really sweet. It's not just a grab-and-go dessert spot, it's somewhere you can linger. And every time I've gone, the women working there have been genuinely friendly and welcoming. That consistency makes such a difference. Such a cute little gem in Totem Lake. Perfect for gifting or a small afternoon treat!
