Fine Dining with Banquet Room and Grand Piano? (Eastside)
So i'm helping to plan a wedding in June. The bride's brother is a concert pianist and is going to perform at the reception. Any ideas for restaurants with a grand piano, and a reception room for 75+ guests? The ceremony will be in Kirkland, so something close by would be great. Fine dining preferred, but at this point we're looking at all options. Please help!

I had the exact same issues when I got married (except I was the one getting married and the now-part-time concert pianist and was going to jam a bit with the hired orchestra during the reception). I think the closest you'll get is the Newcastle Golf Course, but the piano there is pretty sad.
I would focus on choosing the right restaurant and the food that they offer, then rent a good piano and have it delivered for the wedding. Professional concert pianists are usually pretty picky about their instruments, and most restaurants willfully neglect their already substandard instruments.

One of the wineries in nearby Woodinville might fit the bill, however you may have difficulty finding a venue during peak wedding season on such short notice. It would be worth a try. I would start with Chateau Ste. Michelle and go from there:

Here's a good site to start exploring your options, Soy.
