Acclaimed Executive Chef Eric Donnelly partnered with Charlie to bring a new vision of his award-winning restaurant RockCreek to Kirkland’s Lake Washington waterfront. Housed in a historic building, the space builds on the rustic charm of the Fremont flagship, layering in elegance and warmth to deepen the dining experience. Reflective aquamarine tile, warm brass, and wood define the showstopping bar, while a fireplace-lit lounge invites lingering with intimate, cozy tones. Indirect inspiration came from Eric’s passions—global cuisine and fishing in far-flung places, from Montana rivers to the Florida Keys. The result is a refined, approachable space that echoes the spirit of the menu and welcomes guests back, again and again.
