Editorial Review for Third Floor Fish Cafe – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Named for its elevated location on the third floor of an office building, this classy spot is a must-try on the Eastside dining scene because of its expansive view of Seattle. The dining room is multi-level, giving each table an eyeful. Low lighting and jazz in the background sets a sexy, romantic mood. The menu is almost exclusively devoted to simply-prepared fish, like halibut with white corn risotto or scallops with vegetable ragout.

I tried to like this place- it has all the awards and what not. But I am always let down. The fish seems to be served in way too much butter/sauce and the sides/salads are just bland. The prices are high and leave you wishing you would have just gone to Anthony's instead. Even the dessert menu is lacking. Go for the fabulous views and cocktail or wine. But that is it.
Pros: view, setting
Cons: price, menu

I would like to think my family knows good food, we've been to several of the best (consensus) restaurants in the country i.e. Babbo, 21 Club, Gramercy Tavern in NYC. Having said this, one night this past summer my mom was out of town and naturally my dad and I went down to the waterfront for dinner. My dad had heard of the Fish Cafe so we decided to give it a try. We were VERY pleasantly surprised. The apple, bacon heart of romaine was simple yet delightful. Granted it is predominantly a seafood restaurant, I never refuse a rack-of-lamb when it sounds good and ordered it here. It was easily up there with the best baby racks-of-lamb I've had. However, the exclamation point was dessert. Upon seeing the rice pudding with coconut, mango, and passion fruit, I had no reason to keep reading... quite possibly one of the best desserts I've had, ever. Service was accomadating and friendly, not too engaging but at the same time always polite and helpful. I wholeheartedly reccomend the food at the Fish Cafe.
Pros: Dessert, View
Cons: none!
