Third Floor Fish Cafe will serve its last guests on Dec. 19 after 15 years in the Kirkland community. The slow economy and a shift in business to the newly developed Bellevue dining establishments, coupled with the desire to remodel are factors in the decision. The ownership has decided to undergo a remodel of the restaurant space, and is evaluating a number of options for the finished space. At the top of the list is a private event space, which would accommodate up to 200 people.

“This is definitely sad for us, but we have to make some major updates,” said Executive Chef Greg Campbell. “We hope these next weeks are a nightly celebration with the friends and guests who have made these past 15 years so memorable.”
