These guys have a great menu and you can get breakfast including Eggs Benedict any time. They have a full bar, patio seating with a view of Lake Washington. Secret Tip - they have a bakery on site full of yum. The Stonehouse is a historic gas station that has been modified for maximum awesomeness and is close to the Little Boat House.
