Cafe Harlequin is now open.

We had their prix fixe menu and were quite impressed with the food for a brand new restaurant. The service was a bit spotty, but very friendly, and the owner is there making sure issues are all taken care of.

This will become one of our regular Kirkland haunts.

Remember this for next year

We have yet to eat at Brix in Juanita. We went in on Sunday, but that's their jazz night. It's not a big place, but the music was cranked up like Led Zeppelin was playing.

We were seated, but left before we had to shout our orders to our waitress.

Skip Sundays

Ended up here on Sunday - not a busy night (another couple came in 10 minutes after us, and we were probably the only 4 customers that night)

I had the Wild Boar Zharkoe - a meat stew with a bread top that soaks up the juices as you eat it. Lisa had the Porcini Blinis and the roasted veggies. More than enough for 2 meals, and great flavor.

This place ain't cheap, and that's probably why they weren't busy, but the food was really good.

Saw this on No Reservations. We are going to be so fat after our next UK trip
