Water Grill Bellevue Welcomes Crab Week!
Crab week is August 15 - 23!
We're participating in the Bellevue Crab Week! Come down to Lincoln Square and dine with us at to enjoy some of the best the ocean has to offer, including a locally-sourced specialty in Wild Washington Dungeness Crab, or an East Coast favorite like Wild Maryland Soft Shell Crab.
Crab Week marks the perfect occasion to try a new addition to our menu: Soft Shell Crab Curry. Wild Maryland soft shell crab meets the bold flavors of Thailand in a dish that celebrates the crab's sweet, briny and slightly nutty notes.
LEARN MORE ABOUT WILD WASHINGTON DUNGENESS CRAB
When they're in season, Dungeness Crabs are a fixture in our live saltwater tanks. Known for their mildly sweet and firm but delicate texture, these crabs have been commercially harvested since 1848. Although they're named from where they can be found in the Pacific Northwest, these crabs are fished by crab pot all over the west coast of North America--from Alaska's Aleutian Islands down to Santa Barbara, California.

LEARN MORE ABOUT WILD MARYLAND SOFT SHELL CRAB
As waters in the Chesapeake Bay begin to warm in spring, blue crabs are carefully monitored and plucked out of the water at peak tenderness, just as they molt and their shells have yet to harden. Soft Shell crab is an East Coast delicacy known for its seasonality and unique flavor--sweet and earthy with olive-like notes imparted from the shell.
Crossed Signals Craft Cocktail
If you’re looking to impress your friends with a unique and refreshing cocktail, look no further than our Crossed Signals. This month, we’re showcasing a refreshing cocktail that blends the rich flavors of rye whiskey and vibrant citrus.
This cocktail marries the boldness of rye whiskey with the bright, zesty notes of fresh lemon and grapefruit. A hint of floral complexity from Pamplemousse Rose liqueur adds depth, while the touch of maple syrup rounds out the flavors with a subtle sweetness.
For a stunning presentation, serve in a chilled coupe glass, and garnish with an elegant twist of grapefruit zest, adding both aroma and visual appeal.
