Bellevue's go-to restaurant for first-of-season seafood and live oysters, Water Grill, showed off their expertise on the grill instead of the water on KING 5’s New Day Northwest this week. Head Chef Kaelon Sparks showed Guests how to achieve the perfect sear using Snake River Farms’ Wagyu Gold Filet Mignon as the star of the segment.
In collaboration with Idaho’s Snake River Farms, Water Grill is expanding their meat program to include “Gold Label” cuts of filet mignon and ribeye. As Chef Kaelon explained, “Gold signifies the Beef Marbling Score, or BMS. For a Prime steak, you’d be at a six out of twelve range, but with the Gold it’s all a nine-plus.”
Using a ripping-hot cast-iron pan, Chef Kaelon lets the heavy marbling do the work, releasing rich beef flavor and the fats that help create the golden-brown sear we all look for in a perfectly cooked steak. He also shares pro tips for getting that restaurant-quality sear at home.
If you’re searching for “seafood restaurants near me” but want a place that delivers incredible steak as well, Water Grill Bellevue is the spot.

The Pacific Northwest has a historic relationship with seafood. The same could be said of our relationship with the late Chef Jon Rowley.
Jon Rowley was a long-time friend and advisor of the company, helping establish the oyster program at Water Grill. Since day one at Water Grill Bellevue, the private dining room has been named in his honor.
This homage was featured in a recent article by Forbes Magazine, which spoke about tributes to late seafood legends in Seattle. Read the full article here!
