Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Redmond

The food was simply outstanding. This was my second time there in two weeks. Try Cebiche Tasting sampler, el trio tiraditos and different sides like tacu tacu, fried rice, they are all super tasty and flavorful and so are the yucca fries. The sauces are fantastic. For the main course we tried California halibut prepared the Peruvian way and it was delicious and the quantity good enough for 5. Only ding is limited dessert options, but you are so full by the time you get there you may not want one :)

We had a lovely evening. Food was excellent with such interesting complexity. Service was attentive. Music selection was great.

Service was immaculate, our server was attentive without hovering. She spotted an error in what we had been served before we did and had it swiftly corrected. We had the shishito peppers, geoduck, and omakase. The pacing was perfect, we were able to enjoy each part of the course without feeling rushed. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. 14/10 would recommend.

The food, service and ambience were fine. Being a John Howie restaurant, we weren’t surprised by the high prices. Two cocktails, two starters, two steaks with no sides, and two glasses of wine were almost $300. We were surprised, however, at the 20% service charge on the bill that goes entirely to John Howie. Their explanation was that they pay their staff well and give them benefits. There was a typical place for a tip on the check. Had we added a typical 20% tip, we would have paid over $100 in add-ons plus $35 tax which included tax on the service charge. This certainly put a damper on our enthusiasm for this restaurant. $400+ for the above listed food is certainly not worth it.

Awesome server! He gave great suggestions to make my breakfast selection spot on.
