The Landing

Food and atmosphere are great. Service is good, wait staff is pleasant and kind. However, do not expect attention to detail when it comes to reservations. If you request a specific location for a table (window seat) they will guarantee it to you over the phone but not delivery the day of. They may offer you a seat immediately adjacent to a brick wall as an equivalent. Frustrating but not a deal breaker.

This is one place that if you drive downtown you might just overlook as the outside does not scream lakeside .. fine dining.. rather warehouse. However, recently they open for lunch service and a friend and I decided to try it out, he had been there previously before for dinner service. As this was my first visit I didn't know what to expect. As you step inside, you immediately get that fine dinning experience with gorgeous views of the waterfront and their garden out back. I ordered the Teriyaki Chicken and chose the house salad, both were delicious and I was happy to see that I didn't have to spend 10 minutes cutting everything up on my salad before I ate it. If I have one complaint about the Teriyaki Chicken it would be I wish there was more sauce on it. My friend got sushi rolls a

f you have not been to the original Landing perhaps you would be okay with the quality, etc. In my opinion, the following lacked the previous owners' attention to detail: fish (both the entree I had and the sushi roll I sampled were average) salad (basic iceberg lettuce with tomato compared with the loaded up version-olives, peppers)...additionally, the lettuce had a ting of brown which was not affecting the taste-pro: dressing seemed like the original and very good Would I return? Most likely not. Plenty of other options in the area.

This restaurant is now known as Kashiwa. While it has a a number of meat and seafood offerings, its sushi selection is very generous. Both my wife and I selected steak and both were cooked to our liking. The presentation was very nicely done. The oysters were outstanding. We will be back.

Left the same review on the Kashiwa page, but I’ve lived in Seattle for 13 years where there is a lot of great sushi, and this is genuinely some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. They obviously have excellent sources on fish and the chef makes beautiful rolls.
