Came here on a Sunday during happy hour and got the mussels, clams, and calamari. The broth in the mussels is drunk worthy it’s so good. Their grilled sourdough is ADDICTIVE, the smoke infusion from the wood fire stove is perfect. We also got branzino and it is part of clean plate club because everything just pairs so well together. Definitely would come back, their service is also top tier, this places deserves the tip

Had three appetizers here. Each was brought out in succession perfectly timed like a 3 course meal. We finished off with a couple limoncellos and some key lime pie. We recommend the Octopus but the Mussles were our favorite.

RockCreek Seafood & Spirits truly lives up to its reputation. The seafood is absolutely excellent—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The ambience is elegant and inviting, making it ideal for both casual get-togethers and special occasions. Yes, it’s a bit on the pricier side, but every bite is worth it. We went as a group and tried a variety of seafood dishes along with some drinks—everything was outstanding. It’s rare to find a place where every single item pleases everyone at the table. If you’re a seafood lover, this spot is a must-try. Easily one of the best seafood restaurants in the area!

Came here for brunch with family on a Saturday noon. Interior is clean and modern. Nice view on to the lake, at least if you grab a seat at the bar. There is also additional space downstairs with a bar and clean restrooms. Good selection of dishes on the menu/brunch menu. Service paid lot of attention and made our time at the restaurant very pleasant.

Food was great! Saturday menu situation around 2pm is a little weird as the servers are not 100% sure what is served. Brunch and happy hour menus were offered. Food was tasty tho! Drinks were good.

Excellent Seafood Experience I recently dined at this seafood restaurant and had an outstanding experience. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch. Highlights: - *Branzino*: Fresh and flavorful, cooked to perfection. - *Octopus Grilled*: Tender and well-seasoned, a standout dish. (So good that’s why I forgot to take photos) - *Calamari*: Crispy and flavorful, a great appetizer and fun presentation in the - *Yogurt Pickles*: A refreshing side dish that complemented the seafood nicely. Overall Experience The restaurant's atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff were attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Given the quality of the food and service, I'd highly recommend this restaurant to seafood lovers. 5/5 stars If you're a seafood enthusiast, this place is definitely worth trying. Be sure to order the Branzino and octopus grilled - you won't be disappointed!

In my opinion, this is one of the best brunch spots in Kirkland. The patio is beautiful. Rockcreek is perfect for an upscale meal or drinks with friends. They have a great happy hour, an awesome cocktail menu, and a huge selection of whiskeys. The wine list is solid too. Service is friendly and attentive. Good for a date night or just stopping in for a quick drink, it never disappoints. The seafood is always fresh and absolutely delicious. Definitely a go-to spot

I had been here on a very warm Saturday during happy hour, we sat on the patio and it was no doubt the staff was slammed. With that being said they were attentive helpful and nice. My server was extremely sweet and she was more than happy to explain different menu items. The food was amazing I would recommend the calamari and the oysters! I did notice the 23% surcharge which I don’t disagree with, I’m glad the staff and back of the house is getting what they deserve!! Absolutely will be back!!
