I'm amazed at the high expectations of most people. Hey, this is Bellevue, not Belltown! Seastar is, without a doubt, one of the best restaurants on the Eastside. If you are entertaining for business, the only...

The best wine list I've seen, Erik was a wonderful help. One member of my party only ordered a blue cheese salad, yet it was amazing! You must try the ahi and the kobe steak. Simply a beautiful night!

As in the Palisade tradition, the seafood is delicious, especially the king crab legs on a cedar plank! The service is courteous and prompt, not anything particular.

I would go back for the ambiance, but be prepared to pay more than you normally would for just about everything. The sushi selection is pretty small, and again, its overpriced. Slow service.
