Seastar Restaurant & Raw Bar - (Near Bellevue, WA)

4 /5 Verm The Invader: Raffael is the greatest server ever! The atmosphere and staff were great. The dishes I had were a little on the sweet side. It was weird for me to have a sweet crab bisque. I wouldnt say the food was bad, just not to my taste. The lobster roll had a crap ton of lobster on it. I dont feel like the bread did the lobster justice. Drinks were wonderful, fries were delicious. Oysters were good. Good experience. Id say give it a try. See if it is your taste.

5 /5 Tiny Tina: Absolutely delicious food. Most of my party ordered from the 3 course menu and the items did not disappoint. We went in to celebrate my moms birthday and they brought out her dessert with a candle. Server was super nice too and provided a great service. Their panna cotta, mashed potatoes, and sole were a table favorite. The raw bar sampler platter from the 3 course menu was also a favorite for the fish lovers. Their creme brulee is also creamy and not overly sweet. Its nice that since the parking lot is connected to the building, when its raining you never have to step outside.

4 /5 Reetu Prasad: I’m a regular at Seastar and usually dine both at the bar and dinning area. This time around the dining area lacked the vibe. Not sure if it was due to the new servers but it felt like a transactional dining experience. What happen to the old crew ?Friday they need the OG bartender Greg working! Cocktails were not the same without him. Female manager walked around like she was having a really bad day, no smile, sommelier helping with wine was ok not much of a cheery personality, Gretchen our server was nice, she took care of food allergies. Thankfully food quality is the same. King salmon medium well with asparagus and mash was yummy. Enough flavors not over powering. Ahi Tuna and salmon rolls were good, quantity was the right amount. Tuna bites never disappoint. Wish they brought back their Ahi tuna burger on their menu. Overall food experience was great. I do miss the old friendliness vibe that Seastar was known for.

5 /5 Peter Goodman: Sea Star in Bellevue is a true gem! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a modern yet relaxed feel that makes it perfect for both a casual evening out or a special occasion. The staff is consistently attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly, which really enhances the whole dining experience. The menu is outstanding—fresh, high-quality ingredients prepared with creativity and care. The seafood is always impeccably fresh, and the dishes are beautifully presented. Favorites like their perfectly grilled fish and inventive appetizers showcase just how much thought goes into every plate. The wine list and cocktail selection are also top-notch, with excellent pairings available for every dish. What really stands out about Sea Star is the consistency—you can count on an excellent meal and great service every time. It’s clear that the team here takes pride in what they do, and it shows in every detail. If you’re in Bellevue and looking for an upscale seafood experience that never disappoints, Sea Star should be at the top of your list.

4 /5 Christian Martin: Went here for a work dinner. Friendly staff and good food. They are an expensive seafood place and I rarely find the prices justified unless I’m extremely wowed by the taste. The beet/quinoa salad was good but the beets tasted somewhat off. Their other veggies and the entree were good. I mainly liked their chocolate truffle dessert. The truffles are quite large and very dense. I recommend sharing them with people!
