The 43 best bars and drinks in Bellevue

I went to the restaurant with my boyfriend to celebrate his birthday. The view and food presentation were great. But the service was horrible. From the beginning, he spoke to us with a blank expression and a flat tone, didn’t even seem care to interact with us. After took our order, he never check back on us again, not even provide more water. From our observation, he checked on the tables next to us frequently and chat with those customers. I could even hear their laughter… I don’t know why we were having completely different dining experience from those customers, even though we pay the same prices. Anyway if you are looking for great environment for dining, this is a good place. But I won’t say their servers are well trained from my perspective.

We came here on May 27 to celebrate my fiancé’s birthday and spent over $400. The appetizers were tasty, the drinks were amazing, dessert was good, and her scallops were cooked well. But the steak… easily the worst I’ve ever had. I normally don’t order steak at restaurants because they can be underwhelming, but this was on another level. It was so tough, chewy, and unpleasant that I could barely get through it. Honestly, I’ve had better chuck steak at home, and I was shocked something of that quality would even be served at this price point. If you come here, stick to the drinks and appetizers—do not order the steak unless you are in the mood for a jaw exercise/workout.

Ascend earns it’s reputation! Not an inexpensive restaurant, but an experience worthy of special occasions! This was our first time here. Atmosphere: We had a west facing view and the sunset over the city was fantastic. I wished I brought sunglasses in, but only for a bit before the sun went down. The views of Lake Washington and the Bellevue Square were amazing to see from so high up. Also welcome to go out to the patio, so we got a picture out there too. Service: Thomas was our head server and was friendly, knowledgeable, told us about things we didn’t even think to ask, and very attentive. He and his team were on top of it all night, food came out faster than we thought it might and our drinks (soda) were filled before they were even half gone. They made incredible recommendations too, explaining the menu and giving both their personal opinions and what is commonly ordered. Food: I expected the food to be amazing. A price tag like that for dinner wouldn’t be sustainable if it wasn’t. We both had an American Wagyu cut that was fabulous! The potatoes were good, but didn’t wow us. We also ordered mushrooms, fantastic blend of different varieties. The bread service at the beginning was unique, pork belly appetizer was so good too. For desserts, we got two and the presentation is very meticulously planned - they tasted amazing too, but this place is combining taste with presence and make for a memorable experience!

My partner and I came here to celebrate my birthday, and Ascend Prime truly delivered an unforgettable experience. This is definitely the spot to splurge for a special occasion—it felt worth every penny, and the amazing service truly makes you feel special. We made sure to grab a reservation ahead of time, and if you're a couple, you might get lucky with one of the tables right by the massive windows. The panoramic views of the city skyline and Lake Washington are absolutely breathtaking and instantly set the mood. The Cloud Nine cocktail was the perfect start—amazing! We decided to try the blend of steak and sushi. The sushi tacos were a fun, delicious surprise—a definite must-order (we didn't care much for the complimentary bread basket, but those tacos made up for it!). For my main dish, I had the Hamachi Truffle Roll. The flavor was fantastic and I'd order it again in a heartbeat, though I'll admit I wished there was a little more shaved truffle on top. My husband went for the Cap of the Ribeye Steak, and he absolutely loved it—cooked perfectly, tender, and intensely flavorful. The side of foraged mushrooms was also a great complement. To top off the night, the Halo dessert was presented beautifully, a perfect showstopper for a birthday celebration. Restaurant offers a dedicated plant based menu for vegetarian and vegan customers

Ascend opened a few years ago and I finally had a chance to try it out through a catered business dinner. Overall, as far as catered dinners go, it was very good. I mean, there is a hard limit to how good a catered menu can be, since you have to prepare a lot of food in advance to be served in a relatively short period of time, so food will sit around in a warming box or something. However Ascend did a great job and I enjoyed it all. That said, I suspect that their truly spectacular meals are off the main menu, so I'll have to try those before really knowing how this place is.

One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. My bf and I got seated near the window, and had an incredible waiter who walked us through the menu, gave recommendations, and really helped us make the best menu selections. Coming to visit from the east coast, I didn’t know what to expect, but I was completely blown away!! Price range is steep for sure, but this is the perfect spot to celebrate a special occasion or splurge on a great date night out <3

Absolutely recommend Ascend, what a wonderful experience. The restaurant space is beautiful, they have an open kitchen area where you see beautifully displayed meat laying on the side of butchers knives. The chef grilling up all the delicious feasts. We were sat right in front of the glass with a spectacular view of the lake and sunset. The staff all were amazing and detailed. They explained each dish and were perfectly attentive (not annoying where they ask you every two seconds) very timed. They have one of the best vegan/vegitarian menus! Something for everyone. We ordered the Octpus, Beet Salad, Spicy citrus avocado roll, Grilled vegetables, King salmon, mushroom wellington!!!! And of course dessert wish they had the Magic mushroom but there were no more so we went with the Skyfall. I will be back just for the Magic mushroom. They also have a great mocktail selection :). They have an outside section as well. But hands down best view or shall i say views of all of Seattle/Bellevue you can see everything. If you want to impress this is the place, if youre celebrating something special tbis js the place..but i must say dont just wait to celebrate something just go and enjoy living and being present is always something to celebrate. Happy indulging!

Wonderful garden music with Jennifer Rae band and the food was fantastic! It’s a hidden gem in downtown Bellevue that consistently offers high quality food and music.

Would definitely recommend this place, it was our favourite place when we visited Bellevue. From the minute we walked in we were greeted by friendly faces instantly making us feel at home. I would definitely recommend booking on an entertainment night as it can get busy, although the first time we visited they still managed to accommodate us. The food is amazing and the service is second to none. We wanted to especially mention Yuri as he went above and beyond. Thank you for making us feel so welcome, we can’t wait to return when we are next visiting.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely phenomenal!** Bakes Place & Bistro in Bellevue is a total gem. The food is next-level—flavorful, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. The braised short ribs and seared scallops were standouts, and the truffle fries are dangerously good. Cocktails are creative and well-balanced, and the service is top-notch. Add in the live music and cozy-chic atmosphere, and you’ve got one of the best dining experiences on the Eastside. Can’t wait to go back!

Went on a Saturday night, reservations are a must because they get busy right around 6pm. A great band was playing and the food we had was perfectly prepared. Their drink selection is eclectic and delicious, and they have a large wine and beer selection as well. This is a hidden gem downtown, and after 5pm they have free garage parking, so it’s a double win!

Second time here. Great food and ambiance. Service wasn’t as good as last time, which was a bummer. Fantastic place to enjoy a live music experience. Phenomenal sound and production.

I had such a great experience the other night thanks to Chelsea, who served me at the restaurant. From the moment I sat down, she made me feel completely taken care of. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. The kind of service that makes a meal memorable. Chelsea has that rare gift of being both professional and personable. She anticipated everything I needed without ever hovering, and her recommendations were spot on. You can tell she takes pride in making her guests feel comfortable and welcomed. If you’re dining here and have the chance to be served by Chelsea, you’re in for a real treat. She made the evening feel special and elevated the entire experience.

I’ve passed this place many times and finally decided to stop in. The patio had always looked inviting, but the reality was a bit disappointing. Although there are heaters outside, the patio is now enclosed in plastic, giving it more of a closed-off than the open, relaxed atmosphere I’d imagined. They play tvs making it have a weird sports-bar feel. Inside, the experience is completely different — it’s essentially a live music venue that happens to serve food. Admission requires tickets and a food-and-beverage minimum at tables. The night I visited, the performance wasn’t really my taste, but the show appeared to be sold out. It seems generally loud and crowded given the small space. I genuinely wanted to love this spot, but the overall experience fell short — from the confusing setup to the underwhelming food options.

It’s a nice and upscale restaurant with friendly staff and service. We stopped there for dinner after our bubble planet experience. Food was delicious and decent amount. I only give 4 ⭐️because my son and his dad both said their stomach was a little unsettled after the raw oyster 🦪, but I was fine with everything. Definitely will go back for special occasions as the food is not cheap.

Sea Star in Bellevue is a true gem! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a modern yet relaxed feel that makes it perfect for both a casual evening out or a special occasion. The staff is consistently attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly, which really enhances the whole dining experience. The menu is outstanding—fresh, high-quality ingredients prepared with creativity and care. The seafood is always impeccably fresh, and the dishes are beautifully presented. Favorites like their perfectly grilled fish and inventive appetizers showcase just how much thought goes into every plate. The wine list and cocktail selection are also top-notch, with excellent pairings available for every dish. What really stands out about Sea Star is the consistency—you can count on an excellent meal and great service every time. It’s clear that the team here takes pride in what they do, and it shows in every detail. If you’re in Bellevue and looking for an upscale seafood experience that never disappoints, Sea Star should be at the top of your list.

Went here for a work dinner. Friendly staff and good food. They are an expensive seafood place and I rarely find the prices justified unless I’m extremely wowed by the taste. The beet/quinoa salad was good but the beets tasted somewhat off. Their other veggies and the entree were good. I mainly liked their chocolate truffle dessert. The truffles are quite large and very dense. I recommend sharing them with people!

I was here on 19th Feb for my birthday dinner with friends. The gesture we received upon arrival to our table was spectacular. Pedro was our server and he knows why he is there… from detailed drinks to food he is good. We all made the right choice of food and drinks through his knowledgeable of items. I would recommend and definitely going back again.

Raffael is the greatest server ever! The atmosphere and staff were great. The dishes I had were a little on the sweet side. It was weird for me to have a sweet crab bisque. I wouldn't say the food was bad, just not to my taste. The lobster roll had a crap ton of lobster on it. I don't feel like the bread did the lobster justice. Drinks were wonderful, fries were delicious. Oysters were good. Good experience. I'd say give it a try. See if it is your taste.

The nectarine and heirloom salad was scrumptious. I had the mahi mahi and it was a taste delight in every bite. Order it if you get the chance. My husband enjoyed his sole. Atmosphere was great. Great service.

Happy Hour visit for a big anniversary in the bar. It definitely had a crowd that skews two directions: 1. Afterwork meet ups 2. The retired set. So it was less cozy/romantic than the dining room portends, but we were definitely there early enough to get the freshly out of work and off the links crowd. Cocktails (needed to order a second Pegu Club) were great. Ahi tiradito was so delicious/dope. Oysters were fresh and light. Delish gougere in the bread service. Happy Hour knocks 4-6 dollars off every plate and 3-4 off each drink. They have gift certificates for the founder's restaurant group at Costco, so that's an option, but I do think taking it 10-30% easier on the brand tie ins and the guys name would make me more excited about returning. I get being proud of your work, but the emphasis on one dude when there's a huge team of amazing people making the spirits and food, feels passé and frankly gauche.

Tavern Hall was a great experience. The food was excellent with generous portion sizes, and everything we tried was well-prepared and flavorful. The staff was friendly and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. Overall, a comfortable and enjoyable place to eat—I’ll definitely be back.

We visited Tavern Hall for the first time and had such a wonderful experience! The space is great, and we were pleasantly surprised that happy hour was still going on, so we went with the happy hour menu. The menu itself had plenty of good options — we tried the wings, the burger with sweet potato fries, the sausage flatbread, a Moscow Mule, and an Old Fashioned. Everything tasted fantastic! The ambience and vibe were spot on, with sports screening adding to the lively atmosphere. Mason took care of our table and did an excellent job with food recommendations and attentive service. To top it off, they even gave us a complimentary dessert — and even though we were already full, it was so good that we couldn’t resist finishing it! 😀 Overall, great food, drinks, service, and atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back again!

Surprisingly good food with prices on par with Bellevue mall area and the atmosphere of bar at a nightclub rather than a gastropub. It’s so loud but it’s just the music and people yelling over it. Other reviewers seem to like the loudness so if that isn’t you I’d skip. Had a variety of apps and food. All the food was good. Based on food alone I would return! I enjoyed the steelhead with salad, it was nice to have lighter and healthy options. The servers were excellent. The restaurant needs better communication though. the allergen labeling was non-existent. The servers have a cheat sheet but if you are going to use QR codes just update your website. Also happy hour seems to be only limited to certain bar spaces which is confusing. Had a larger group here and was given a corner of the bar as probably slightly last minute reservations. It would have been ideal had we been able to communicate by not yelling as the space was convenient for an informal dinner/mixer.

Good food and incredible service! We ordered the Tavern burger (perfect medium rare, loaded and with sweet pickles) with fries (crispy on the outside, soft on the inside) and kale salad (perfectly coated with tangy sauce). Strawberry mint lemonade was very yummy, ginger beer also, but a little sweet. We were also given a smores chocolate pudding, on the house!

Booked the W after our cruise trip. Wanted some comfort food. Entire family enjoyed our time at Tavern Hall. Jayden is an excellent server! We had the pretzels, a few burgers, chicken tenders and pizza. The s’mores dessert was so delicious! Old fashioned and mojitos were great!

This place was perfect. We were hungry, looking for a drink, and didn't want to wait. We got a table right away and drinks arrived soon after. Recommend the pretzel, it was the perfect appetizer before dinner. They brought us a free dessert of chocolate, marshmallow, and graham cracker since it was our first time in. It was very good and probably a great idea to get people back in. I wouldn't hesitate to eat here next time I'm in the area!

This was our first visit to Tavern Hall, and it won’t be our last! We each had a couple of drinks, which were well-made, and the burgers were excellent—juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. We shared a pretzel to start, which was warm, soft, and perfect for dipping. To top it off, the s’mores dessert was the perfect sweet ending. The service was attentive and friendly throughout the evening. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great food and a welcoming atmosphere in Bellevue!

In the heart of the Spring District in Bellevue. Parking for cars and light rail. Great outdoor seating and lots of room. Service and atmosphere are great and the food is pretty good. Beer is great. Prices are reasonable. Very hip. Highly recommend.

right in the heart of Spring District, is a great escape from the bustle of downtown Bellevue, offering a relaxed vibe with crisp, refreshing beers and solid bar food—we tried the calamari and tacos, which were tasty but typical for the genre. What really stood out was the friendly, attentive service, which felt welcoming and local despite Bellevue’s tech-heavy reputation. The space is spacious with plenty of seating, making it ideal for both large groups and solo visitors, and the surrounding area is perfect for a stroll. Whether you're looking for a family-friendly spot, a place to gather with friends, or just a chill solo beer, this brewery nails the atmosphere with its laid-back charm and great brews—definitely worth a visit!

What a great surprise! I was visiting town for work and needed a quick bite. This place is legit — great beer and great food! And the service was also incredible. Super impressed with Ren and how personable and enthusiastic he was. Highly recommend this place.

Great place for gathering with friends, food&drinks were pretty good, waitresses were helpful and friendly. Great atmosphere next to Meta Bellevue campus. It has its own parking spaces in underground garage (free for four hours, bring ticket inside to validate) but spaces are limited so it was challenging to find a street parking during busy hours.

Checked out this brewery recently and really enjoyed the experience! The vibe was chill and perfect for hanging out with friends. They’ve got a solid variety of beers, and the ones I tried were fresh and full of flavor. Staff was friendly and knew their stuff, which made it easy to pick the right ones. Only thing I’d say is service could be a bit quicker, but overall it was a great spot. I’d give it a solid 4/5.

Long time favorite. This place is no dive bar, really modern, nice, but amazing summer vibe scene. Ren is the best waiter, tip him well so he never leaves! Nothing beats Seattle Summer Happy hour at Bellevue Brewing Company!

It’s a great spot to hangout / wind down after a day of work in the Bellevue area. Nice outdoor seating and spacious interior. The service is always great, food and drinks are on the pricier side as expected for Bellevue. Definitely worth going to if you’re looking for a casual place to pop into

We came here from Puyallup because of its promising reviews online and I’m glad we did! First of all , I had high expectations of their Xiao long bao and it definitely didn’t disappoint- it was packed with flavors and it was delicious! Their take on Dan Dan noodles was also something I would order again!- it was garlicky and delicious! We’ve tried all 3 fried rices and the mushroom one stood out! Delicious! Even for the desserts- we had taro Xiao long bao and custard bao! - both were served fresh and very tasty! We would definitely drive back because it was worth the drive! The only complain I have is that it gets busy on weekends and it took us 20 mins to find parking which was not fun especially when your are hungry 🤤

I go to Din Tai Fung pretty frequently so it’s easy to compare against. I prefer the pork XLB and the fried dumplings here. I think the XLB here are more flavorful than at Din Tai Fung, however at DTF it’s hard to go wrong with anything you find on the menu. Here we ordered a couple things I didn’t like, I think I was just expecting something else. I prefer the chocolate XLB at DTF because they are more chocolatey and less runny compared to the ones here. I also had an old fashioned which was ok, but not great, it was a bit too heavy on the cherry syrup. The Supreme Tan Tan Noodles are delicious. The vibe here is nice, much different from DTF, this place is bright and modern while DTF is dim and classy, and feels more suitable for a date.

Xiao Long Bao and Spicy Wontons were good, and on-par with what folks might compare with Din Tai Fung or Dough Zone (I tend to like DTF better, and nothing beats the real thing, or a mom and pop shop, in Taiwan.) The pan-fried XLB were pretty good, albeit a little tough on the fried side. Surprising that they still had soup in them! I think the group liked the Mushroom Fried Rice the most. Pretty friendly staff, but service could have been a bit more attentive. We barely saw our waiter, but maybe they were extra-busy that afternoon. When they did come by it was like they were just passing through. Need to go back and try a few more things!

Supreme Dumplings offers a great dining experience with a mix of hits and misses. The sweet taro dumplings were absolutely delicious, and the truffle mushroom rolls were packed with rich, earthy flavors—definitely must-tries! The wild mushroom fried rice was also quite good, with a nice balance of flavors. However, the vegetable steamed dumplings and pit buns didn’t quite meet expectations. They lacked the flavor and texture I was hoping for. On the bright side, the ambience is fantastic, making for a pleasant and cozy dining experience. The service was also attentive and efficient. Overall, if you stick to their standout dishes, it’s a great place to visit!

Great and friendly service, short wait times, amazing food and the atmosphere was fantastic as well. I had the chicken soup dumplings (they were so tasty, warm on your belly, definitely need to have this again when its cold out), the fried pork chop that came with rice (not greasy, deep rich flavor) and I also had the Tan Tan noodles as well because I had read the reviews prior and it sounded like I really needed to try them out and im glad I did. The Tan Tan noodles were something else, the taste and texture of it all was pleasant with a nice subtle beef taste, the noodles were thick but not too thick. The strips of cucumber added a nice crunch and i will definitely be having that again my next visit. I cant wait to come back and try more of the menu 💜

All of our food was amazing! We wanted to try everything! The service was awesome, quick and friendly. We’ll definitely be back to try the dishes we weren’t able to our first time.

Had high hopes for this place, but overall the experience was a bit underwhelming. The wait time was reasonable and the ambiance was nice, but the food didn’t quite live up to expectations. The dumplings were just okay — not bad, but nothing memorable either. We tried a few other dishes as well, and they were average at best. There’s definitely potential here, but I’d say there’s room for improvement when it comes to flavor and overall food quality. Rating: 3/5.

Lucky Strike My Favorite Spot for Nightlife, Fun & Fashion 💃🏻🕺 This place has become one of my go-to hangout spots! Whether it’s for dancing, nightlife, or just chilling with friends, Lucky Strike never disappoints. The vibe is energetic, the music and live bands are always on point, and it even has that fashion-forward crowd which I love! The seating area is cozy and private perfect for relaxing, chatting, or even celebrating special occasions like birthdays or anniversaries. I’ve seen people host events here and it’s always a fun and stylish atmosphere. 🎂🎂 Plus, the bowling lanes add a unique twist! Once you book, it’s such a fun experience to play, laugh, and enjoy with your group. Great for all ages and all moods—party or chill, it has both vibes! Highly recommend Lucky Strike if you’re into good music, a bit of glam, and lots of fun! 🎳🎶💃🥂

Attended a corporate event at Lucky Strike in downtown Bellevue and overall had a fun time, though a few things could be improved. First off, the parking situation is frustrating. It’s not clearly marked whether it’s free or validated, and the garage layout itself is a bit confusing to navigate. Inside, the venue offers a large mix of entertainment options. There is a separate bowling area with multiple sections (great for simultaneous parties), a solid arcade with games for all ages, and even a billiards section. On a weekday, the place was buzzing with other corporate events, so clearly it’s a popular group venue. The food was decent but took a while to come out, especially at the start of the event. One thing that bothered me was having to wait in the same line as alcohol orders just to get a fountain drink. It felt inefficient. There was also no clear signage or staff direction on where to stack used plates or trays. Maybe I was overthinking it, because a lot of my peers just left it on the table and walked away. That said, the staff were generally responsive and the energy of the place was upbeat. It’s a solid space for corporate gatherings if you’re looking for a casual mix of games, bowling, and group energy. Efficient: No First-Time Friendliness: No Would I Return: No JY review

A fun place for a company event. Arcade games, pinball machines, billiards, bowling, a bar, and buffet. Friendly staff and good quality bowling shoes. Parking is a mess with some garages being free while others limiting you to three hours, so research ahead of time.

Love this place. Lucky Strike in Bellevue is a vibrant and stylish bowling alley that combines bowling with a fun, upscale nightlife atmosphere. The space is modern and lively, with neon lights, music, and trendy decor that add to the experience. Alongside the bowling lanes, there’s a spacious bar area and an impressive arcade with a variety of games, making it a hit for both families and adult groups. The cocktails and bar snacks are well-crafted, offering a nice selection of drinks and bites to enjoy while you bowl or game. Service is friendly and attentive, though it can get busy on weekends, so reservations are recommended. Prices are on the higher side, but the quality of the ambiance and amenities make it worth it. Lucky Strike is also a popular spot for events and gatherings, with plenty of space for larger parties. Overall, it’s a unique, energetic spot that’s perfect for a memorable night out in Bellevue.

My first time being at lucky strike today with my husband, son, niece & nephew and it was a great experience, from check in to getting our shoes, to David who was our server who was amazing, to the arcade. It was my son’s first time to bowling and he loved it and had fun with his older cousins. Happy to say, we’ll be back soon.

First my husband and I started playing bowling which is $35 for 30 min or $70 for 1hr my margarita cost me $17 don’t ask me why ! And then we had FF love the atmosphere the music is amazing but the only issue that I had is very hot trust me it’s no AC inside this place. Second round I had is I order sort of water and almost Indiana when I finish the bowling time it’s almost arrive then I also asked for mayonnaise they didn’t give me at all also we went to the second floor where they have the other games that are cut games which is I really recommend it’s really nice. You can have a lot of fun. You have a good music on the weekend and night time. I really enjoy. I also put the top of the receipt how much it cost me total with the french fries margarita in a beer and basically if you’re gonna play with arch, I believe it’s between $30 or $60 depending what you want to spend.

I was not expecting there to be a club atmosphere in a gaming type environment but it all works!! I had a great time! There are multiple dance floors with bars and DJ’s, the endless games available to play are crazy! There’s even a bowling alley! Lucky Strike is a place for adults and children. I had a great time and would recommend anyone to check this place out!

We hosted a small gathering in the speakeasy section of Civility and Unrest. The service was good and the food was pretty good as well. Our bartender was great, we definitely did not have any complaints there. The vibes were vibing! Definitely recommend this spot for good food, drinks, and a nice place to have a conversation with friends or a partner.

The drinks are mediocre for the price they charge. The place is very tight if you’re looking for a large table. Staff is friendly and helpful.

We went on a Saturday afternoon / around 5ish and found a table for two very quickly. We ordered one drink each. Hot in Jalisco as I was in a mood for a spicy drink and other was for my friend Don’t fear the reaper which was recommended by the waiter. For the sides, it was Wagyu Steak Tartare again recommended by our waiter (uncooked, so be careful what you choose). Both the drinks and tartare were good. We were within the happy hour range but our waiter told happy hour was not on the weekends. Little disappointed with that. it did not say happy hour wasn’t applicable on weekends, otherwise service was good. The drink was good and so was the ambience. Since it wasn’t the peak hour, we did not see any crowd. The gratuity was 20% and was auto added to our bill. The waiter told the peak hour is at or after nine PM.

A bar up front, a speakeasy in the back. This place has an incredible atmosphere, access to a good kitchen, and amazing drinks. It may be on the expensive side, but good drinks made by experienced bartenders in a downtown area bar are worth it. I look forward to trying new drinks in the future!

We were excited to check out this new "speakeasy" in Bellevue. Unfortunately, that was our first disappointment - this is just a nice hotel bar. If you're single in your late 20s, it might be a decent choice. We arrived at 8:55pm (for a 9pm reservation). It was not incredibly busy and yet it took 25 mins to get two drinks, then another 30 mins before anyone checked back. Servers were nice, but did not check back in. As a final annoyance, when the check came, the server basically pled with us to add a tip, even though a 20% service charge is already included. Why? The business retains 100% of the service charge (nothing for the servers or bartender). I don't mind service charges being included, but I do mind that the business artificially inflates the price without passing a portion to the people doing the work.

Our first time in. Drinks off the menu were great. Asked the bartender to make me something whiskey forward and it was awesome. Will definitely be coming back. I felt that the prices were spot on for what we got and the great service.

Lovely underground speakeasy serving amazing cocktails. We stopped by on a weekday night and it wasnt a challenge to get a seat. Loved the ambience. We ordered Civil Unrest (whisky based cocktail like an old fashioned), Kiss of a Dragon (vodka based cocktail. Do eat the strawberry with your drink to enjoy the flavors), Seasons Changing (run based cocktail) and Lish City (gin based cocktail). Apart from the Lush City we really liked all our cocktails. They were phenomenal. The Lush City was okay ish not too bad though. Service was great. They have nice cozy booths as well to be seated. All in all loved this place and will be back again for sure!

We celebrated my husband’s 43rd Birthday 🎂 yesterday at Joey Bellevue. Food was amazing!! Great atmosphere, wonderful customer service. My Dad tried food he normally would not eat and loved it!! Definitely coming back again.

Absolutely loved our experience at JOEY Bellevue! We visited JOEY Bellevue to celebrate my birthday, and everything from the food to the service was just perfect. Our server, Sean, was amazing — attentive, friendly, and made sure everything arrived right on time. We ordered the Szechuan Chicken Lettuce Wraps, Steak and Ravioli Bianco, Buttery Noodles for our kid, and several cocktails including the Good Life Margarita, Spicy Passion Fruit, and the Wood Smoked Old Fashioned — every drink was unique and delicious. We also tried the Roasted Corn Guacamole and a Classic Margarita from the happy hour menu — both were excellent. The Wood Smoked Old Fashioned was especially impressive, and the Lettuce Wraps were such a fun and flavorful experience. The Steak was cooked perfectly, and our kid absolutely loved her Buttery Noodles and Passion Fruit Lemonade. To top it off, we received a complimentary cheesecake for the birthday — honestly one of the best cheesecakes I’ve ever had! We’ll definitely be coming back again.

Really nice restaurant in Bellevue. The menu might have similarity with other restaurants on same street but I’d say Joey beats them The waitress here are super nice and attentive. I’m surprised about the service here as it was quite outstanding! The food quality is amazing, we loved our appetizer, entree and drinks. We loved our chicken parm, steak, pressed sushi and Wagyu sliders.. it melted in our mouth. Their bar also have large screen for sports so it’s a plus!

Had my birthday meal at JOEYs and was blown away by the amazing food, staff and the overall atmosphere! I rarely send out reviews and felt JOEYs deserved another positive review!! I would give it more stars if I was able! AJ was a great waitress and was very attentive and interactive!

Came here for happy hour! Greeted with complimentary champagne 🤩 and we ordered the pasta pomodoro and steak & frites from the happy hour menu. It was really delicious!! I would love to try more items but probably would come during happy hour.

SOOOOOOOOO GOOD!! Food was a bit more pricey, but so worth it. I was celebrating my birthday and all safe made me feel cared for!! our server was Kira H and she was AMAZING! Super friendly, nice, and attentive. Water was refilled constantly and our food came out fast!

Not much vege options but whatever there were were amazing! Awesome nachos Hummus and pita was so good Cauliflower also! The desserts were great too! Amazing friendly staff.

This place was amazing!! I took my girlfriend here for her birthday and she loved it. The service, food and drinks were incredible!! Although I found parking on the street, they have valet parking in the back. You won’t go wrong with anything you order. I’m definitely going back.

Food was excellent and so was the service. We had the crispy shrimp for starters and it was perfect! Nice and juicy, interesting dressing and spices but nothing overwhelming, and perfectly cooked. For mains we had the garlic chicken which was phenomenal! Again, very juicy and flavorful - even the white meat was not dry at all. And we also had the lamb shake risotto with mushrooms - very good as well. For dessert we had the bread pudding and the mango pistachio ice cream - both were great too :-)

We had a wonderful brunch at Bis! Every dish at our table looked and tasted fantastic. I had the French toast, which was perfectly done, and I got to try my aunt’s quiche—the crust was especially amazing. We also shared the beignets, which were warm, fluffy, and delicious. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!

One of my favorite spots! Their food is always fresh and menu always reflects what’s current and in season. Not to mention, their cocktails are flawless! I highly recommend using their valet service - it saves time and headache every time!

So my husband has been eyeing this place for a while especially when he found out that the chef from the barking frog was the owner of this place (this isn’t a new place just under new ownership) Unfortunately when you initially walk in there is that old building smell, which you eventually get nose blind(ish) to. We came in for brunch and were immediately seated, the welcome was very warm and attentive. I love that they had chicken sausage which I don’t always find on their menu and the menu itself was fairly typical to most breakfast menus. So let’s talk food Beignets 4/5 lovely pastries a little heavy handed on the sugar, it came with chocolate syrup and huckleberry cream cheese. I will always be a proponent of chocolate sauce and not syrups, I get it it’s more expensive but alas Steak and eggs 3/5 a few things here the cook was great but the steak absolutely needed more of a sear, and the potatoes had no place being on that place without getting more crunch, hollandaise and eggs were fine but over all a lack luster dish Farmers Breakfast 3/5 same issue with the potatoes, we did sub bread for biscuit which was yummy, the components were fine they were just missing something extra and with the price point expected of a restaurant in Bellevue and an ex chef of a woodinville favorite we expected more There are quite a few breakfast places I’d have enjoyed more is what it comes down to. I hope they keep adjusting the menu until they get it right and we’d be more than happy to come back!

Generally would have been a 4-star experience if not for some issues over the check. On the menu it says "add a small soup to any sandwich for $6", but they charged the full $13. So we called over the hostess who agreed that they must have mischarged and got the person who initially took our order (who wasn't the person who waited on us for the rest of the meal). That person came to our table and clarified that the menu said "substitute for $6", but I had a picture of the menu on my phone (taken because I expected to make this review), and it definitely says "add", so we called over the guy a second time, asked him to get a menu and showed him that it says "add." He was frustrated with us for not understanding why it was $13 instead of $6, telling us that perhaps it could have been worded better, but in this context "add" meant substitute. Also, the word substitute is on the next line, so it's not like the menu maker didn't know the word substitute. Regardless, it wasn't so much about the extra $7 per soup as it was about the lack of customer awareness (in terms of size of tip, me returning as a customer again, and a possible semi-negative review). And it's a fine dining restaurant on a weekday afternoon when it's largely empty, so I would have expected them to just give me the minor concession (and maybe correct the menu if indeed it is misworded) and hope to make it up by getting my business again. It was the type of thing to put a bad taste in my mouth and make me put a 1-star review, but up until that point the experience was fine and it felt unfair. That said, I saw on a different review that someone who put a semi-negative review got texted by the owner asking them to take this down, and I would like to pre-empt that by saying that I really would not like to be contacted, and if I am, I will change this to a 1-star review. Food and ambience (pictured) were generally good, but it was more expensive than other restaurants in the region (we ended up paying $50 per person for lunch - a soup and sandwich each), for an experience that wasn't 2-4x better.

After an adventurous day of kayaking, we decided to dine at Bis on Main. Initially, the restaurant was empty, but it gradually filled up, creating a lively atmosphere. We started with their tasty bread and butter, which was a delightful beginning. Our orders included:Blackened Cod: A standout dish, perfectly cooked and seasoned. Crispy Chicken: Accompanied by delicious mashed potatoes and Bolognese:My personal favorite, the pasta was rich and flavorful. Beet Salad: The arugula had a spicy kick, as did the Brussel Sprouts. Despite our casual attire post-kayaking, the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. The service was excellent throughout our visit. The decor of the restaurant was upscale and modern, creating a wonderful ambiance perfect for a date. The food, friendly service, and the elegant yet modern decor made our visit very enjoyable. We will definitely be returning for another visit. Tip: The restaurant has a parking lot and offers parking validation, which is very convenient.

I love Burger Master! It’s super clean, with friendly and welcoming staff that always make you feel at home. The service is quick, and the food is fresh and delicious every time. I also really appreciate the extra touches—like the lovely flower garden outside and the fun, seasonal painted glass windows. It gives the whole place such a cheerful and inviting vibe. A local gem I always look forward to visiting!

Actually, I’m a foreigner, and I have been staying in Bellevue for 2 weeks. This is the best restaurant since I came here because every staff is really nice, kind and sweet. I’m so touched. Even though I’m not good at speaking English, I have no my car, I could purchase the burger (walk-in). Anyway, thank you for giving me the precious memory and the kindness. I will never forget the moment. Thanks again

Burger master has great prices and amazing staff. Stacie was so friendly and kind and we had some great laughs and she took time to talk about the movie Twilight with me while getting my order. I went here for a birthday dinner and it was fun and delicious! I've been here before but plan on coming back in just a couple days!

As former Eastside residents, Burgermaster was an absolute must on this Pacific Northwest trip! My husband loves the fish sandwich and it is the hamburger for me. About to enjoy our second meal here and are planning a third when our son arrives later! Love the memory lane and great food!

Stopped in for a quick breakfast bite. Got a breakfast burger, just a regular hamburger with an added egg and mayo and had grilled onions added w a side of hash browns - get it seasoned. Its a drive-in so you find an open spot and have your headlights on when you're ready but shut off your engine no need to idle. Depending on how busy it is once you place your order its typically 5 to 10min until its brought out to you.

This Burgermaster location was as solid as their other locations with a quick turnaround and plenty of open spots for in-car dining. The service was a bit fast/rushed to take our order but the food we received was the expected tasty and well portioned Burgermaster experience. Would come back if I was hankering for a burger!

Great burger! It was my first time eating here and was a great experience I had the Double Bacon master with grilled onions and it did not disappoint me.

Duke’s Seafood in Bellevue offers a warm, casual dining experience with a focus on fresh seafood, including raw oysters, seafood dishes, and cocktails. The restaurant is styled with nautical accents, creating a relaxed yet lively atmosphere that fits perfectly with its coastal-inspired menu. It’s a popular spot, especially during lunch and dinner hours, where you’ll find a bustling crowd and a long bar perfect for enjoying a drink. The menu is packed with seafood options at reasonable prices, catering to a wide range of tastes. While the flavors are decent, they don’t necessarily stand out as exceptional—many of the dishes are solid, but they lack the wow factor that some seafood lovers might expect. That said, the raw oysters are a refreshing highlight, and the seafood dishes are satisfying for a casual meal. Duke’s service is attentive! Despite the busy environment, the staff are friendly and ensure you have a great dining experience. Whether you're there for a quick lunch or a more relaxed dinner, the service is consistently on point. In summary, Duke’s Seafood provides a pleasant, no-frills seafood experience in a lively setting. With its reasonable prices and welcoming atmosphere, it’s a great spot for seafood lovers looking for a laid-back meal.

My husband and I visited from KC over Labor Day weekend. My husband had the combo fish n chips with New England clam chowder. He said the clam chowder was the best he’s ever had (and he’s had a LOT). I ordered the mixed grill. The veggies (snow peas) were amazing. The crab cakes were delicious, the scallops were cooked perfectly. The prawns were a little overcooked/dry but everything else was delicious. We had amazing service too.m (Cam B is what our receipt says). Would definitely go back.

To each their own, but I don’t think Duke’s lives up to the multi-star hype. A group of 5 of us dined there recently, food was average at best for some dishes, below for others. The crab cake was tasty, but not quite $27 for one crab cake level of tasty. They did live up to their promise that it was more crab than cake, so that was nice. My wife had the cioppino. It was a watered down tomato soup that was semi seafood flavored. I had the fish and chips. These were actually tasty and well fried. It was the most dense panko batter though, if it was panko at all. Again though, $35 for two pieces of fish and a cup of fries. Our server was nice and professional. But we did wonder why every table in the restaurant had what appeared to be a complimentary basket of bread except us.

I recently had dinner here with family from out of state and left feeling pretty underwhelmed. The atmosphere is nice in theory, but the restaurant is so dark that I could barely read the menu, which made it more frustrating than cozy. Service was decent—our server was polite and checked in a couple of times, but nothing about it really stood out. For the price point, I was expecting a higher level of attentiveness. As for the food, it was mostly mediocre. My fish tacos were disappointing—they came out soggy and lacked much flavor (it came with chips and salsa, which I thought was strange). Other dishes at the table were fine but nothing memorable (clam chowder, fish and chips, calamari appetizer). The cocktails were okay, but they didn’t taste very high quality or carefully made, just average drinks you could get anywhere (with a real properly stocked bar). Given the cost, the experience just didn’t match up. Between the average food, so-so service, and high prices, I don’t feel like it was worth it. There are plenty of other restaurants in the area that offer better seafood and overall value.

I’m a huge fan of oysters! I will definitely come here again. As a foreigner, it was hard to order because oysters were not listed on the menu. However, I was able to order them verbally with the staff. In my case, since I’m not good at speaking English, I found it a little difficult. But the staff were nice and friendly. Furthermore, I love the atmosphere. It feels like I’m inside a ship. For me, this is personally the No.1 restaurant in Bellevue🦪🦪🦪

First time to Seattle! We had exceptional service. The calamari and Salmon bites were phenomenal! The entrees, Parmesan Halibut and Silky smooth Salmon were outstanding! We had some great wine, cocktails and desserts too! Thank you for a phenomenal experience!

Nice deco and food is seasoned well. My favorite is mixed seafood salad. I don't recommend stuffed halibut, it was so dry.

Casual pub type atmosphere. Very friendly service. Simple but tasty menu with a nice variety. Ingredients are fresh and prices reasonable. I definitely recommend the Pumphouse.

First thing that stood out to me was the service. Everyone working was great! We arrived just before the rush and was able to get seated and order quickly. Fried crispy chicken wrap was really good and they have a decent beer selection as well. Plenty of TVs spread around so you can watch a game if you would like.

My best friend and I love coming in for brunch. It’s so cozy and welcoming, and the service is great. I always get a bunless burger and it’s totally delicious.

Look. I travel for work. I've been all across this country. From Hawaii to the Northeast. I enjoy great food. This place in no way shape or form the star rating that it has. Must be a local favorite spot? Literally their French dip was trash. My hamburger was okay... we were hungry. So I'm not picky like I enjoyed my meal. I enjoyed my time there. My service was fine literally NOT a 4 MOR LIKE A 3.... You can find Better food in Bellevue. God, I hope so. THANK TO THE HARD WORKES THAT MADE US BLUE COLLAR BOY'S FULL FOR FAIR PRICE .

I really enjoyed my experience at the pumphouse. I enjoyed the chicken fried steak, which was absolutely amazing! My one friend had the Ruben, and the other had the Philly Cheese Steak. All absolutely amazing! I will be back and very much enjoyed my visit to the pump house.

This may be the only proper bar & grill I’ve found in Bellevue. They got everything right! World Series playoff games, with volume turned up, glasses and plates clanking…. Lots of good chatter… (and apps for those who want to use headphones for other games.) Foods on point, service is spectacular. People are friendly and I might just come back in the morning for red eye breakfast. Northern Americana ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Everything about this place is great. I've only ever gone between 2pm and 6pm and its never packed, you can always find a table. Everyone that works here is charming and pleasant. The food is fantastic. I have yet to have something that I didnt like. Lots of beers on tap, full bar, many TVs to watch whatever you fancy. What more could you ask for?

EXCELLENT SERVICE from the moment we walked in! You can tell the staff loves where they work. Fried zucchini and onion rings were the best i. Town! Milkshake was good and the burgers were AWESOME!!! Oh my goodness. New favorite burger joint if I’m ever in bellevue!

I've had better and I've had worse. I ordered a cheeseburger and fries to go. There were 2 other people already eating in the restaurant. I had to wait about 7 minutes for the cook to make my food. The restaurant had a small sitting area in the back with some bar seating at the window in the front. There is a small condiment table and the soda is self-serve. The place was dated, but clean. The prices are slightly more than the last photo posted of the menu. I've added an updated photo. The burger had cheese, shredded lettuce, tomato and sauce (maybe a mayo ketchup blend). The bag of fries was enough to feed my family of 4. (Although my family doesn't necessarily eat as much as the average American household, it's probably the correct portion for 3 people). Inflation of the prices made the value of it slightly not worth it, but the food tasted good.

A decent burger, but not the biggest fan of the this type of burger. It's not like a greasy fast food burger or premium restaurant burger. It's like a solid, basic burger without a strong flavour or personality. Doesn't really hit the spot for me personally, but could be worth a try if you're passing by

Eat like a local! Nice dive-y old school place in Old Bellevue - had a couple of burgers, a shake, the onion rings, and a shake. Definitely recommend the onion rings.

This was a delicious hometown style flame broiled burger spot. It's exactly what you expect out of it and that is a good thing in this situation. I wasn't even intending to go here, but that flame broiled smell was intoxicating, I basically did a cartoon sniff follow until I got there. While there was a bit of a wait for the food, the burger was well worth the wait. It was a substantial amount of food for the price and I've already told my friends about this spot, it will definitely be the defacto burger spot for me in Bellevue going forward.

This has been my go to burger place since I found it. Great value, friendly staffs, the patties are always on the spot, ingredients are fresh. Onion rings are must-try. I don't know about dine-in area but the sauce/drink fountain area are always kept clean.

A great burger place in the middle of Bellevue. I will confess, I came here because all the Japanese restaurants had long wait lists, but I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. I highly recommend the ice cream milkshakes which reminded me of childhood milk shakes.

This place gets busy quick! We came around 1:40pm. Service was quick and food came out as it was done. The food was absolutely delicious! I ordered the lunch set and man it was a lot of food! I also order the Thai iced tea with coconut milk and it was really good. Not disappointed one bit. Will definitely try again if we ever decide to visit Seattle in the future.

Had a great lunch at Araya Thai Vegan in Bellevue! Their lunch special is an incredible deal — it came with a flavorful appetizer, fresh salad, perfectly portioned Pad Thai, and even a small dessert to wrap it all up. The quantity was generous and everything tasted fresh and well-balanced. Loved the unique flavors and thoughtful presentation. A great spot for anyone looking for delicious vegan Thai food. Will definitely be back!

Hopefully get to update my rating to 5 stars in my next visit because the food and vibes in this place were truly immaculate! Service was our let down though. DISCLAIMER: both servers were great and this is not a review against them. I really hope they got some well deserved rest after their shift! TWO servers for 30+ customers is criminal! I saw them wheezing and panting while rushing through service and felt really bad even asking them for something - our server did not even wait until we placed our full order because she was in such a rush and we had to call her back to get the full order. Experienced high wait time to place an order, request a napkin, request to-go boxes, request paper bag, request the cheque. We ended up walking over and taking the boxes and bag ourselves. Food was incredibly delicious. We ordered two lunch plates and the mango float. 10/10! Will visit again outside of rush hour.

Hands down this Thai restaurant has the best vegetarian Thai food. We always come here or to their other location whenever we visit the area. Their soups are clean tasting and so flavorful that you want to drink every last drop. The portions are generous to fill you up completely. I love that it’s still ran by Thai family after all these years so you know it’s authentic. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The ambiance is casual chic. It’s a must visit for all vegan and vegetarians.

Good food, efficient & fast service, was thoroughly satisfied with our dine in dinner visit on week day. We ordered soup and a few entrees to share. Food was plenty for three of us and in fact left the place a little stuffed. Service was very fast and courteous. Will definitely visit again when in Seattlle.

I like the concept of a fully vegan/vegetarian thai restaurant n i was so so so excited for this but i fear the execution lacked thoroughly. I didnt think any dish is worth going back for aside from maybe the soup. I came here for my birthday dinner and was so disappointed when our waiter literally didnt even bring out the stuff we ordered DESPITE REMINDERS. When i was asking for takeout containers the server literally made such a rude face at me? The spring rolls were greasy, potstickers were COLD n obviously reheated frozen, curry and salad lacked any flavor at all, the teas were diluted n mid. I think everything aside from the pad se ew SORELY lacked any kind of flavor imo. Quite disappointing :(

Excellent Thai restaurant. Welcoming crew, great location, excellent food. Phad thai and mango with sticky rice I had. Excellent! I am amazed with the quality of service. Examplary. I think many restaurants should get an understanding how a customer dealt. Thank you very much.

This large facility had plenty of seating and staff that was nearby to answer any questions and bring samples of beers to try and answer questions. There's also a QR code at the table for ordering from a phone as well that has a great interface and info. Beers are very good and there's a rotating selection. Although the pizzas are over priced, the Sweet Hot pizza was delicious with a great crust and a good balance of heat and sweetness. Caesar salad is also good and went well with the pizza.

Celebrating on a birthday weekend & found this local little hidden gem on a google map search; my, what a great find! ...Wonderfully adventurous assortment of beer varieties, truly something for everyone--from casual beer drinker to connoisseur, & with their selection its a perfect place for a flight! Superb pizza as well! ... "sourdough"/Romanian dough makes for an amazingly unique pizza crust that makes so much sense, honestly i dont know how it's the 1st brewery/pizzeria I've been to that ferments their dough...brilliant, so fitting & delicious! All the topping combos we tried were delicious, generous yet still in ideal ratios & perfectly cooked, quite the skillfully crafted pizza all the way around. Their spinach & artichoke dip was the best I've had anywhere, especially with their take on the smoother texture/consistency--souch a great touch, with bold & bright garlicy citrus flavor thats balanced out by the creaminess of the cheese, I could honestly come here just for that. Incredibly warm, fun & personable staff make the experience even more of a delight. Will definitely be returning to try their new hatch specialty too! ...Ample seating, & different options depending on ur mood--from cozy booth to bar seating & even a lovely patio, kid friendly too & clean. (Nice bathrooms too, just sayin) ...Big, bright, spacious & versatile environment; bring the bros, a date, or the whole fam! Trivia on Tuesdays! Special thanks to Allison for making our experience outstanding!

Resonate is a Newcastle staple, the friendly neighborhood brewery that welcomes families and beer enthusiasts alike. For me personally, Resonate is the spot for great food: pizza to die for, spinach/artichoke dip and wings that are delicious! Their beers are ancillary to the experience a cozy spot to dine - Mostly basic beers of light, dark, hoppy and a sour/fruit or two - a dad beer kind of place, which goes with the theming of the restaurant. A warm family/neighborhood spot.

Ordered take out from their website. It conveniently provides a pick up time. I waited an additional 30 minutes and their staff was unable to provide me an update so rather than sitting down and having a beer I just stood there. Disappointed with how unfriendly the service was. Have gone here a lot but unfortunately the experience is getting worse.

Awesome spot with a ton of beers and cider on tap. The pizza and artichoke dip is really good. Definitely will keep coming back!

Stop by for a quick lunch and food was great. Service quick and friendly. Will definitely come back in the evenings for some drinks. Nice beer collection that is brewed onsite.

Best pizza in seattle. It’s a brewery with great Roman pizza. What’s that? Oval brick oven pizza with dough that’s been fermented for 4 days so you can call it health food. Honestly, it’s thick, chewy and delicious. The beer and cider are good too. Love this place!

I finally got to try Takai by Kashiba and overall had a really enjoyable experience. I did the omakase, but sat at a table rather than the counter. While I missed out on the chef interaction, the staff still made sure everything was smooth and well-paced. The fish was incredibly fresh — the kind of quality you immediately notice. My favorite, as always, was the toro. Every piece was carefully prepared, and by the end of the meal, I was very full (in a good way). It’s definitely a generous omakase for the pri

Wow! Not locals but as guests they treated us with 5 stars. For us, the presentation and quality of ingredients was top tier. We appreciated the story, the flavors, and the care they put into each bite. We also tried the sake/champagne pairing and couldn’t have been more pleased. Overall, having visited Japan just last year, we have to say they unequivocally represented this time of year well with the flavors and pairings. Thank you for treating us so well. If we happen to be back in the area, we will be sure to visit again. Thank you!

This is a wonderful Omakase Sushi restaurant with traditional Japanese sushi. They seat 10 people at the Omakase counter at one time (so if any of the party of 10 are late, they will hold until every is seated - even if they are not part of your group). Don't be late though, because after 15 minutes, they will start without you and cancel your reservation. Believe me, you don't want to be late, because the sushi here is quite amazing. I like traditional style sushi, not the fusion styles that seem popular today. There were 23 (!) dishes total, so you will be completely satisfied by the end of the meal. Service was impeccable, and the chef and staff were all very professional and friendly. Don't miss this Omakase experience!

Please know this shared experience is from a take-out perspective. I placed an order for the executive lunch box and choose an arrival timeslot. When I arrived, the receptionist greeted me, quickly grabbed my order, and informed me to eat it within the next 30 minutes for peak freshness. This was a fun experiment because I wanted to get a sample before spending $$$ for a dine in experience. The box was expertly arranged. The sashimi pieces were fresh and flavorful where I didn't even need soy sauce because I felt it would mask or take away from the natural flavors of the fish.

Wow! Just wow! So glad I opted for the omakaze and sat at the whiskey bar. Great food, great conversations with the bartender/director of operations, perfectly paired with amazing sake. Very happy.

We came here for our anniversary and it was a really nice experience. Staff were friendly, though the front desk girl looked a bit serious and kinda intimidated me at first . Chef Takai has a chill vibe — not super talkative but not cold either, and he warmed up more as the meal went on. I liked most of the fish, felt like the aging was done well and had good flavor. I liked how he adjusted it depending on the piece. Personally I would’ve liked just a little more seasoning on the rice, but overall I had 23 pieces and felt satisfied. Solid omakase spot.

Had the omakase experience at the counter and it was well worth the price. All the seafood was super fresh and the combination of flavours was spot on. I managed to get a single seat last minute but I would otherwise recommend booking well in advance.

The Fish Tacos were amazing! The burrito was just meh, and the quesaburria was ok, but still wasn’t the best. I was greeted by an energetic man who seemed to be the owner. The food came out fast. However, the meal was too expensive, and we still left feeling hungry after spending $50 for two people. If I’m paying $25 per person, I expect to feel satisfied. The fish tacos were small, and at $6 per taco, they didn’t feel worth the price. Revisit intention: No Vibe: Pass Cleanliness: Pass Food: Barely pass Service: Pass

Good place for tacos, big burritos and nachos. They do not have fajitas or enchiladas. The food was served fast and hot. Their spicy salsa has a great flavor, with a little kick, but not too over powering. Seating for about 24 people. Excellent food safety rating.

Quesabirria was wonderful and the consommé served alongside was delicious. Asado on the tacos was tender and flavorful. Good service and nice people. Food was made quickly and was hot and filling.

Amazing Mexican taqueria featuring lightning fast service! All their menu items are tasty; that said, our favorites are the quesabirria and the soft tacos filled with juicy meat 🌮 The people running this place are warm and super friendly. Highly recommended! 🤠

I just had lunch from this place near where i work, i wanted to get back on trying tacos 🌮😜 there is just so many places to try and ofcourse not all are good. Walking in you get greeted with a warm welcome and is a cute little establishment. No wait time when u came and the young lady was very lovely in suggesting which tacos i should try. So i tried the fish, barbacoa, asada and al pastor. All of them were good , my favorite one had to be the fish one. The dressing and level of crunchyness were on point. The alpastor i was a little disappointed as in Mexico ive always tried it and had it with pineapple and they dont add it here. No biggie it was good but at most an average. The asada was probably my second favorite and very juicy. These are just a few items ive tried as i was leaving the owner told me next time to try the nachos, apparently they are a popular item but said they are really good. Im sure I'll come back here as its near my office. I gave it a 4 star mainly because of the service and the two tacos and it's sunny today in Seattle so i feel like being nice today

This is the best place where you can taste real mexican tacos and quesadillas. I come from Cuernavaca, Morelos and it is known as the city of the Tacos. I never thought I would find a place, in Washington, with tacos that would make me hope I could eat them more often. In addition, Ricardo, the manager, is very kind and respectful, and you can tell that he loves to treat his customers very well.

My visit to Señor Taco, I decided to savor the Carne Asada tacos, opting for a trio. Each taco was a delightful ensemble of flavors, perfectly seasoned and cooked to succulent perfection.

Pretty good food, at decent prices. Pretty busy, casual dining atmosphere with fast service, but nothing that left me overly wowed. The dumplings and pot stickers were good, but the spicy beef appetizer was too salty.

Edible, but could be better. I believe the dumplings are made from frozen batches, and it shows in the taste. The zucchini–shrimp dumplings were almost flavorless, and the beef soup broth was quite plain. The tea, however, was very good. Overall, it might be a decent spot for a quick bite, but don’t expect much in terms of flavor experience.

I really liked their beef stew noodle soup. Much amount of beef and rich flavorful soup. The noodle was like home made 🍲

Atmosphere is clean and bright. The service is nice because it is table based. However, they hassle you to pay unnecessarily. I ordered pan fried beef 3.5/5 and pork and shrimp 3/5 dumplings. They were served very unattractively upside down. Best thing on the plate is the pickled cabbage 4.5/5.

Ordered the pork and shrimp dumplings. They were upside down and all stuck together which I've never seen or experienced. There was no vinegar or soy dipping sauce which was also disappointing. The smell was off-putting as well. Definitely would recommend other places to this.

I'm so disappointed by how deep the food quality declined at this place. I used to think their Xiao Long Bao is as good as Ting Tai Feng's. That was 5 years ago. Today, the Xiao Long Bao I had here taste like trash. What happened? I don't think I will come back.

Dough Zone is a franchise, but they do a great job with the food. You get what you expect and it's delicious. Highly recommended. Service was good. The place can use some work. I think prices went up since last time I visited, 6 months ago.

Food was ok. I might come back for steak but definitely not the fish… I wasn’t impressed Complimentary bread: 5/10; too sour. Over baked, outside was as crispy as croutons Spinach pecan salad: 8/10; pretty good. Rib eye steak: 9/10, quite good. 16oz was more than enough for one person Halibut: 4/10, too sweet. Everything on the plate was sweet. I wanted a savory dish… Had to force myself to finish at least the fish since the plate was $70

I’ve eaten at nearly every “fine dining” steakhouse in the greater Seattle area…this filet steak flight was hands down the best steak I’ve eaten. Perfect temperature, perfect flavor. Ended dinner with the chocolate decadent cake and house made PB pie ice cream…I was in heaven. Kara was kind and attentive. There are better dining “experiences” as far as decor/vibes/chef selection type menus, but, what you are coming here for, everything was perfect.

Went here to celebrate mom’s birthday and thought it was a great way to celebrate her since the service was great and the food tasted incredible! Ordered the ribeye steak and it was very juicy and tender. For appetizer, ordered a lobster bisque, which was very creamy. The chocolate cake dessert was by far my favorite! A bit sweet, but it was a great cake with great chocolate flavor. The setting is also very aesthetic. It is on the pricier end, but if you buy the gift cards at Costco, you can save some money.

This place is phenomenally amazing. I just moved to Washington from Texas and during my move, I ordered takeout from here and vowed to come and have dinner here. The view from the lounge is breathtakingly fantastic and you can actually see the Space Needle where I was sitting. Since it was the middle of July and it was absolutely dead, I enjoyed the freedom of no wait and not making a reservation. This was THE BEST Martini I've ever had in my entire life, and that says alot coming from someone who's always skeptical. Payton; Please ask to sit in this cute and sweet little lady's section, she's the one with the adorable pigtails. 💖😊👏👍

I went here for my birthday and I have to say that this place really hold up to their reputation of having the best steak in town. I got the steak platter with wagyu and it was the most tender, and flavorful steak I’ve had in a while. Everyone in our table enjoyed their meal. It was a plus that everyone was so pleasant and accommodating. I continue to recommend this place and looking forward to dine here again in the near future.

Starts slow with chain restaurant caliber appetizers, rises to a crescendo with succulent, well-flavored steaks and finishes high with some truly memorable desserts. Seating is a bit odd given restaurant layout, but there are some nice views of the lake and service is talkative and brisk

Great place for celebrating anniversary. Beautiful view to Lake Washington and sunset. The pianist plays beautiful songs in bar area and there are stools around the piano that you can sit and enjoy.🥰🥰

Go for the Gigi’s Butter cake. And go soon, the joint might be closing in a month or so. Don’t fill up on the warm bread. Do ask for the butter, it’s delicious. Pastas are good as expected. Flatbread wasn’t great though. Service was a little slow. Our waitress kept confusing the dishes in our order, but fixed them eventually. It was a good dinner overall.

I went there for my birthday dinner, the food and ambiance was fantastic. They were playing Frank Sinatra my favorite!! It was very romantic. I ordered classic bruschetta, spaghetti with meatballs, my husband ordered meat sauce marinara and we chose their special for a takeout on their classic menu only for $5. It wasn’t too disappointing. Only issue was the service, the waitress kept forgetting to bring us extra napkins and wasn’t too attentive. Other than that the experience was great!!

Great service & a wonderful ambience!!! Definitely not the best Italian food I've ever had, but a nice place to have a dinner when a mom doesn't feel like cooking. Their lasagna was delicious, gnocchi was good, chicken piccata was seasoned well with great flavors. Solid mac & cheese, spaghetti & meatball. We would definitely come back. A great place for a large group of people or family dinner. Recommend!

This establishment seemed to me very nice, cozy and warm, there is a European atmosphere, I was very pleased with the tablecloths on the tables that complement the style of the restaurant. ⠀ The food was delicious and best of all, my check for 2 courses, 1 dessert and 2 sweet non-alcoholic cocktails was ONLY $ 88 🤪😱. ⠀ I will say that the portions were large and very satisfying, the only thing that surprised me was the lack of tea / coffee in the menu. ⠀ The restaurant is large, several rooms plus a banquet hall, there is enough space for everyone!) At the entrance they ask for a certificate of vaccination. ⠀ I also want to note the pleasant music, it played not very loudly, but not quietly, creating a very comfortable environment for communicating with friends) ⠀ I recommend this place for a family dinner, a romantic dinner and for celebrating a birthday) ⠀ I liked a little detail in the restaurant, this is a corridor to the toilet, it felt like I was in some kind of hotel. ⠀ By the way, parking was free. Nice place, right in the center of the city!)

Delicious and huge portions. Great service. Went on a Saturday night without reservations...wait time for a table for 2 is 3h30 which is a lot. The location is great, there is a shopping mall, great bars around so you can patiently wait for a table to be ready. Food is worth the wait though. See pictures for the good we had. Not pictured delicious zucchini fries!

Good service. Tried the stuffed mushrooms, eggplant Parmesan, flatbread and the 5 piece dessert sampler. Food was okay-ish. Dessert was amazing. I would go again just for desserts! Waitress was kind enough to give us a complimentary cookie since it was our anniversary that day! Free parking ( for upto 2 hrs) is available in the basement.

Great service and good with a good ambience. We were a group of 5 and had taken the Marcos meal for two, which was a good price for the various food combinations. The meals were also served to us pretty quickly even though the restaurant was super crowded. We had the zucchini fritters and garlic bread, along with the spaghetti meatballs and ravioli. The food was amazing except the garlic bread which was very soft. As drinks we ordered the Long Island, sangria and a raspberry lemonade. The sangria was horrible but the Long Island and raspberry lemonade were good. For deserts, I would recommend the crème brûlée which is super delicious. We also had tiramisu but I have had better tiramisu at other restaurants.

The atmosphere, the food, the service- all top notch!!! We started with ‘8 days in the desert’ wine- if you like a full bodied red wine this is the one to get. It paired perfectly with our filet mignon. We chose the medium rare “plus” - a bit of pink but not too rare. We enjoyed trying out the different salts that only enhanced the flavors. The meat was expertly cooked and our sides of asparagus and wild mushrooms was a feast for the taste buds! Even the complimentary shrimp appetizer was delicious. Worth every penny. Will definitely go back again!

Saturday night dinner for two. Greeting was good but as we sat down I expected to be given not only a menu but a drink menu as well. I had to ask for it. The only thing that was amazing was the food. We ordered the House Baked Bread,the Filet Mignon Combination, Adams. Twice Baked Potatoes and Lobster Mashed Potatoes which were delicious. The creme brulee was just average. Three alcoholic drinks. With the 20% service charge already added on came to about $463.

Absolutely loved the restaurant. There were 4 of us. I ordered the Sirloin 10 oz steak cooked to Medium Well. It was perfect. We had bread and asparagus and broccoli. I do not recall the name of the wine, but it was recommended by the Sommelier. It came from France, and it was a Cabernet blend. We all enjoyed it very much. My wife had the sesame Cauliflower steak. She said it was the best she has ever had. We also enjoyed the Bananas Foster.

Amazing selection of excellent steaks. We especially enjoyed the small portions of wagu from America, Australia, and Japan which allowed us to try them side by side and experience the delicious differences. Everyone in our party commented on the outstanding food, and experience.

Pretty sure I did a review already. First time left a lasting, pleasant impression. Next few times w/ or w/o guests was just ordinary. This last one, though. We knew it wasn’t going to be packed but surprisingly it was and glad we made reservations +/- 20 minutes into it. Checked-in. Was told to wait, we were +/- 5 minutes early. Told to wait at the bar. Now, we usually would oblige but this whole wait at our bar feels so cliché. Cute, but not when I’m on a mission for a quick bite before takeoff. I came for a table, not a tequila prelude. Fast fwd to being ushered to our table. Now this is how you do a glow-up in guest service! The entire dining room experience felt orchestrated. Every staff: host, server and smile perfectly in tune like a well-rehearsed symphony. Not a single note rushed, just smooth, elevated hospitality all around. Food and service here were a science. We were updated and informed in a timely manner. As soon as our table side service was ready, it was a science. Precision, timing and grace under pressure. We were on a tight schedule but they handled it like a well-oiled lab experiment: table-side service perfectly executed, meal served hot, rest boxed and bagged before we could even glance at the clock. No fluff, no fuss, just flawless choreography from first bite to final bill. Now that’s efficiency served with elegance.

Good food and service. My only annoyance was that I forgot to give them my rewards card for points. 🤦‍♂️ The server that was helping us, was very knowledgeable and helped me pick out a great whiskey to try while I was there. Looking forward to going back again soon.

John Howie Steakhouse stands as a true beacon for steak lovers, offering a refined yet inviting dining experience that combines expert craftsmanship with the finest cuts of meat. The restaurant’s signature dishes elevate the art of steak to new heights, with the filet mignon being an exceptional choice for those who appreciate a perfectly tender, melt-in-your-mouth cut. However, the real allure lies in the restaurant's impressive selection of premium beef. Guests have the unique opportunity to explore a variety of cuts from around the world, including American, Australian, and Japanese Wagyu, each offering distinct flavor profiles and textures that elevate the dining experience to a truly indulgent level. The seven-flavor tenderloin bites are a must-try appetizer, bursting with a harmonious blend of seasonings that complement the rich, juicy beef perfectly. They’re the kind of dish that leaves you craving more. To round out the meal, the house-baked bread is a comforting touch, with the Gruyère cheese-filled rolls standing out as a specialty. Warm, soft, and savory, these rolls are a delightful prelude to the star of the meal and a perfect balance to the bold flavors of the steak. From start to finish, John Howie Steakhouse offers an unparalleled culinary journey. Whether you're savoring a classic cut of filet mignon or exploring the exquisite flavors of Wagyu, every bite reflects the restaurant’s commitment to quality and excellence. With attentive service and a welcoming atmosphere, it’s a dining experience that leaves a lasting impression.

We really enjoy spending time at Bellevue Downtown Park. It’s such a beautiful space with wide open grassy areas, a peaceful walking loop with a waterfall, and just an overall calm, clean vibe. It’s a favorite spot for us to relax or let the kids run around. The Inspirational Playground inside the park is especially great for younger kids and toddlers. It’s colorful, thoughtfully designed, and has a lot of fun play structures. It’s engaging, fun, and the best part is the splash pad—perfect for cooling off and having a great time! Just a heads-up: if you or your little one aren’t planning to get wet, keep a bit of distance or bring a change of clothes so your kiddo can splash away without worry. One thing I did want to mention though: there are some sign and donor boards placed around the play area, and a few of them have sharp or pointy corners—not exactly ideal in a space meant for little ones. It felt a bit out of place in an otherwise well-designed and safe environment. Just something to watch out for if you’ve got a curious toddler who touches everything (like mine!). As for parking, there are two lots: one smaller lot right next to the playground, and a larger lot on the opposite side of the park. On regular days, parking is difficult yet manageable, but during weekends or summer events—like the free outdoor movie nights—both lots fill up fast, and it can be almost impossible to find a spot. I’d definitely recommend arriving early if you’re planning to attend one of the park’s seasonal events. All in all, it’s a wonderful spot for families—just hoping they revisit some of those design details to make it even safer and more accessible during busy times

Bellevue Downtown Park is a fantastic urban green space that's perfectly situated for a day of shopping and relaxation. Its location right next to Bellevue Square makes it incredibly convenient to grab food and drinks for a quick picnic on the go. The park's large central lawn is a great spot for various activities, and the scenic waterfall and reflecting pond add to the peaceful atmosphere. It’s a huge area, so parents can easily keep an eye on their children playing on the grass while they enjoy a snack and the beautiful surroundings. For families with kids, the park also has a designated playground area that's perfect for letting children burn off some energy. Just be mindful of the grass, as some areas may contain dog waste. All in all, it's a wonderful park that provides a serene escape right in the heart of the city.

A nice, but somewhat boring park. There's little stream with ducks, a path around the park, and a big open field where you can play sports or just hang out. There is also a cool tree structure and flowers in the northeast corner. However, the public bathrooms are very unpleasant due to the smell and cleanliness

Great place for a walk/jog! Parking can be rough on sunny days, but it's a really large and clean gathering space. Probably the most tweaks I've seen here at once is 2. Feels really safe here. Well maintained by the parks department. And lots of ducks!

Beautiful place to walk around, have a picnic, relax for a while. The parking is a nightmare sometimes and the spaces are super tiny (not big enough to open your doors without potentially hitting the other cars). Besides that, the fountain is beautiful. The park is very clean. It’s a nice place to watch the sunset and enjoy time with others.

Such a beautiful park. We went this past Saturday and it was filled with families & activity. Parking lot for the park is small and it was a mess trying to go in & find parking. I recommend finding parking on the street or nearby, and walking to the park.

Lovely park. Lots of people walking their dogs, lots of people playing volleyball, badminton , frisbee. Someone was playing live saxophone music. Ducks in the water. Overall nice atmosphere to enjoy the evening.

The service was impeccable for our larger party of 28. Very attentive to get our wines poured. I enjoyed taking the leftover green beans to go. Projector and screen worked without a problem and even had decent audio through the projector. Loved the round lamps hanging from the high ceilings.

This has been a favourite for over 15 years. The service is always spot on and the food is delicious. I often get the scallops, but this time we went with the chicken and beef skewers (we all preferred the chicken) and the duck. The duck is incredibly tender, with perfectly fluffy bao buns and delicious sauce. We will have this again soon. The duck comes in 2 sizes. For one person order the small and for 2 or more order the large.

Upscale Thai fusion restaurant in downtown Bellevue. The cocktails taste pretty good, and the presentation of the cocktail also looks amazing. However, the food was a little bit salty and oily for us. We love Thai food and have been to different Thai restaurants. With that price, you definitely can find a better place. The atmosphere looks good from outside, of the bar area, but inside, it has a different vibe. It is family/kids friendly.

Wild Ginger in Bellevue offers polished Southeast Asian fare in a refined yet welcoming atmosphere. We visited shortly after lunch and appreciated the rare quiet and warm, attentive service, which is a welcome contrast to the usual 30-minute wait and the bustling, often noisy atmosphere during peak hours. The Seven Flavor Beef is my go-to dish, perfectly tender with rich, layered flavor. We also enjoy the Thai Seafood Noodles, Seabass, and the Fragrant Duck with Bao Buns. Recently, the Malay Chicken was a miss, the quality has noticeably declined, and both the meat and flavor was underwhelming. Overall, the restaurant remains a reliable destination for elevated Pan-Asian cuisine.

Wild Ginger – Bellevue, WA A bustling gem in downtown Bellevue that delivers a symphony of flavors and top-tier hospitality. We started with the Mongolian noodles, and wow, they arrived glistening with sauce, layered in smoky depth and kissed with just the right amount of spice. The noodles were silky yet substantial, wok-tossed to perfection, and tangled among tender slivers of beef and sweet onions. Every bite delivered that comforting heat and umami punch that leaves you chasing the next forkful. The Kung Pao chicken followed, and it didn’t shy away from flavor. The chicken was generously portioned, juicy, and bathed in a rich, savory glaze with a subtle kick. Though vegetables were minimal, the protein-forward approach gave it a bold focus, even if it felt a tad unbalanced. Then came the standout dish, Butter Chicken Curry, creamy, aromatic, and soul-warming. The curry was a masterful blend of spices, mellowed by rich butter and cream, the kind of sauce you want to scoop up with every last grain of rice. It stole the show with its depth and sheer comfort factor. To wash it down, we went local with a Manny’s Pale Ale, a crisp, golden pour from a beloved microbrewery. Bright citrus notes and a clean finish made it the perfect pairing with the spicy, savory lineup. Despite the crowd, the service was exceptional. We were greeted and seated immediately, our server was friendly and attentive, and our food landed in under ten minutes. It felt seamless without sacrificing quality. The one hiccup? The restrooms, which consisted of four private and easily accessible restrooms, they didn’t match the polish of the rest of the experience. To be blunt, the restrooms were nasty! Overall, Wild Ginger serves up bold flavors, lightning-fast service, and a menu that blends comfort with complexity. Definitely a must try and a repeat visit for us is in the making.

Fort Stockton here for happy hour between meetings. I had the happy hour Vietnamese chicken wings which were orange glazed and garnished with green onions. They we're absolutely delicious! Good thing it comes with the hot towel! Then I had the Thai spring rolls filled with vegetables and mushrooms and served with lettuce, Thai basil, cilantro bean sprouts in a sweet dipping sauce for wrapping. Another win! I would have stayed and had more because I really wanted to try the Singapore beef or Thai mushroom skewers, but I guess I'll save that for next time!

Amazingly eclectic menu all things Asian, literally. Flavors were fantastic! We ordered Mongolian Noodles, Papaya Salad, Nonya Pork Skewers, Indian Butter Chicken, and Sichuan Beans. Everything was excellent and staff was on point.

Beautiful mall and stores!! But could definitely use 2X as many restrooms. Most restrooms only have 1-2 stalls which sucks when your waiting or being rushed. Overall beautiful mall. Not a fan of the mapping as it makes you double back to see some stores . But aside from the bathrooms I would definitely go back. Just gotta be sure you use the restroom beforehand . Pretty packed on the weekends , also it feel like about 73-74 degrees so a little hotter than I’m used to but just make sure not to wear a sweater

A very popular and very classy mall in downtown Bellevue. This is a place with a large Tommy Bahama store in its upper floors and an actual Tesla store on a lower level, with cars inside the mall: that is the kind of place this is. Everyone here dresses stylishly, talks politely, and has a kind of innate self-confidence and assuredness that I admire. Personally, I wandered around, took a few pictures of the elegance, and bought a cone of Ben and Jerry's Americone Dream. It is a comfortable and pleasant space to relax, read, and watch people traveling through the shops and snapping a few selfies. I cannot think of a place better suited to the clientele of Bellevue, and I appreciate it for that reason.

Amazing shopping mall with great stores for everyone. Nice food outlets as well. A big bookstore and many novelty shops. A must visit.

Top notch Shopping centre with restaurants and eating / beverage outlets . You have the high end brands and also brands that satisfy a moderate budget .

One of my absolute favorite malls Bellevue Square never disappoints 😍😍 I’ve been visiting this mall for years, and it still feels like a perfect shopping destination every time. What makes it extra special is that I used to work at Nordstrom here – so this place feels like home! The Nordstrom store is top-notch in terms of both service and selection. I also love browsing Macy’s, Bath & Body Works, and the stunning Swarovski store – their jewelry is simply beautiful and timeless. Another hidden gem is Buckle – they’ve got some really trendy styles and great denim options. What’s even better? It’s just a quick 5-minute drive from my home, so it’s my go-to for everything from shopping to casual coffee hangouts. I often stop by Woods Coffee or grab a pretzel from Auntie Anne’s – perfect pick-me-ups during a shopping spree! The mall is always clean, vibrant, and offers something for everyone – from luxury to everyday essentials. Highly recommend Bellevue Square to anyone looking for a fantastic shopping and lifestyle experience🙌🏻🙌🏻

Located in the center of Bellevue, Washington's downtown, Bellevue Square is a top retail destination. The mall makes an impression as soon as you enter thanks to its contemporary construction, spotless, well-lit interiors, and welcoming ambiance. With a total area of around 1.3 million square feet, it provides the ideal balance of luxury and modern shopping, making it a must-see for both residents and visitors. With more than 200 retail establishments, the mall offers something for every type of customer. High-end fashion connoisseurs will value retailers such as Nordstrom, Tiffany & Co., and Louis Vuitton, while consumers seeking more reasonably priced yet fashionable options can check out Zara and other modern brands. We especially loved the Macy's sale, which had fantastic discounts on high-quality goods. Bellevue Square offers great food options in addition to shopping. There are several different restaurants inside, ranging from quick eats to fine dining establishments. For those seeking a filling lunch or a delectable dessert, The Cheesecake Factory, which is situated just outside the mall, is a fantastic option. Additionally, the mall's food court has a variety of choices, so the whole family is sure to find something they like. Bellevue Square's connectedness is one of its best qualities. It is seamlessly connected to other areas of the Bellevue Collection, such as hotels, offices, and entertainment venues, by skybridges. Because of this, it's the perfect place to spend a day out, whether it's for dining, shopping, or just taking in the vibrant atmosphere. Every visit is different because of the mall's seasonal events that unite the community. Bellevue Square has plenty to offer everyone, whether you're searching for upscale shopping, family-friendly activities, or a laid-back day out. It's a lively, active, and well-kept shopping center that genuinely makes Bellevue more enjoyable. Strongly advised!

I love coming here every week to get my nails done, and facial treatments at In Spa. I usually get my nails done at Inspa Nail next to NorthTrom on the 2nd floor. The nail technicians there are very attentive and skillful, I like to relax and beautify myself at Inspa. The shopping center is clean and beautiful, the space is splendid, there are many chairs to rest, there are green trees that are friendly to the environment, many games and food for children. There are many delicious foods of many cultures and countries at very cheap prices. The stores are high-class brands and often have promotions of 50-60% off. I love shopping and getting my nails done here because I have beautiful nails when I am there. I love this place. Come here to relax every week to make you more cheerful and happy.

The atmosphere here was great and the service was solid—friendly and attentive. Personally though, the food just wasn’t my favorite. It looked good but didn’t quite match up in flavor for me. Not bad, just not something I’d go out of my way for again. I will say this the corn was the only thing I really enjoyed

Our server Alex was incredible when I stopped in for brunch. He was always there exactly when we needed something and really went above and beyond to make our meal great. The food was delicious as well and had great portions. We ordered the Migas breakfast plate and the Gaucho breakfast Tacos- both were served hot and tasty. We really enjoyed the brunch service there and thought the meal had great value for price. Lots of parking available as it’s right off from the Bellevue square garage- we did have to do a little searching to find the entrance though which is on the side of level 3 Buyer beware- they charge for chips and salsa/guacamole

I had high hopes for this place, the food was good, but I have had better Mexican food for cheaper. The drinks were the best part here. The ambience and service was great! I would only visit again for drinks. Most Mexican restaurants serve chips and salsa for free, but here it is paid. Overall the price didn't match the quality of food, nothing was exceptional except for the drinks.

I’ve been coming to Cactus locations for more than a decade now, and I’ve never been disappointed by the food flavors, options, or presentations - always a solid choice. This particular location in Bellevue was absolutely packed on a Saturday night, but we still had super friendly and attentive service. My one nit pick value-wise is that the portion sizes seem to have shrunk considerably over the years. The chimichanga was half the size I remembered, and the fajitas had a fairly small amount of steak. Still, flavor was solid and bill was very reasonable compared to other places in the square. Very kid-friendly, there’s definitely a large middle section where they’ll sit families with kids.

First time here. Great service from Maria. Food was really good. Prawn and melon salad was 10/10. Healthy. Light refreshing Squash blossoms was a 10/10. A bit rich. But I like rich. Sonoran spa chicken was 8/10. It had a little too much vinaigrette. But was very healthy My husband has tried a lot of salsa many places and he feels like this establishment has the best salsa. I would be back.

Love the food here! Awesome! Drinks are awesome too! And love the people here super friendly and nice.

Wonderful experience! Me and my family had been travelling for 8+ hours and decided to stop here for dinner and everything was amazing! Our service was top tier for Sydney our actual server was so kind and found paper and pencils for our daughter and the other staff members were just as kind. Now to the actual food and drinks, everything was delicious! We started off with the Austin style guacamole which was amazing! I got the hibiscus chi chi drink which was tasty and for dinner I had the chimayo enchilada! Incredible! I tried some of my husbands Carne Asada and it was also tasty. Overall great experience! Thank you all!

I’ve been to this restaurant twice and really enjoyed it both times. The food and drinks are great, and their happy hour menu is definitely worth checking out! They don’t have a huge selection of vegetarian or vegan options, but whatever they do offer is excellent. The vibe is lively, and the place is usually busy, which adds to the atmosphere. Only thing is the service, which is slow given the busyness! I’d highly recommend giving it a try!

I celebrated my birthday here and was great full to experience. If i have a chance to come back, I would and recommend this for a friend and family. The ambience and service was great. Our server dinner at Oct 10 was amazing. He can explain the better and more. And I am thankful for his service and my family was very grateful. the only thing is the parking. You gave to park at the mall and walk all the way out from crate and barrel or Nordstrom if you get confused near Starbucks.

Had such a great happy hour at Earls Bellevue! From the start, the hostess team (Ava and Gaby) were super friendly and welcoming, and our server Allana was amazing - attentive, upbeat, and made sure we had everything we needed. Food came out crazy fast and everything was delicious. The Korean ribs were easily the star of the night. So good! We also tried the truffle fries, charred corn + avocado dip, Nashville crispy chicken bites, shrimp and pork dumplings, and steak fries. For dessert, the bourbon pecan pie and sticky coffee chocolate pudding were the perfect sweet finish. On top of that, half-price drinks during happy hour made it an even better deal. Great food, fast service, and such an awesome team. Definitely coming back!

We had a wonderful experience during Seattle Restaurant Week, made even better by our amazing waitress, Rachael. She was attentive, kind, and perfectly balanced being present without ever hovering. Her thoughtful service really stood out. Here’s what we ordered from the SRW menu: - Aburi Sushi Press – 8/10: Seared salmon nigiri with a great crunch. - Chili Tofu – 8.5/10: Crispy, flavorful, could use a touch more spice. - Chicken Sandwich with Truffle Fries – Chicken: 7/10 (a bit salty but loved the pickles); Fries: 9/10 (crispy, rich, and perfectly seasoned). - Spicy Calabrian Pasta – 7.5/10: Tasty sauce, chicken slightly salty. - Sticky Chocolate Pudding – 8/10: Warm, rich, and they brought an extra for my birthday. - Crème Brûlée Cheesecake – 8.5/10: Soft, creamy, and balanced sweetness. - Zero-Proof Drinks (Coconut Cold Brew + Coconut Mango Refresher) – 7.5/10: Refreshing and unique. The food was flavorful and beautifully presented, but what truly made the day special was Rachael’s genuine care and attention. Her service turned a good meal into a memorable experience.

We had a great experience at Earls. We were seated by the most wonderful hostess, I believe her name was Ava, she definitely started the evening wonderfully for us. The food and cocktails were all really good. Our server, Alanna was amazing! She is a credit to the restaurant. We will definitely return to Earls!

While shopping in Bellevue, my girlfriend and I decided to dip in for happy hour and dinner. They were incredibly busy but able to seat us with no wait. Much to our huge surprise. We reviewed the menu and they had several things I wanted try - Hot Honey Chicken, Quesabirria Tacos, and the Steak Frites. I ended up going with the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich and Garlic Mashed Potatoes. Both were divine with unmatched unique flavor. So good!!! My girlfriend had the Steak Frites and mashed potatoes - both of our meals were fantastic. We followed dinner with their Bourbon Pecan Pie with the Cream topping. It was heavenly. Our server - now he was adorable, very helpful, sweet, gave great insight, checked for allergies, and was such a pleasure to have tending to us. If we are ever back in the area, we will definitely return.

Yesterday afternoon after a little shopping, we decided to stop at Earls Kitchen & Bar for a meal. We’ve been here a few times before, but only for drinks this time we decided to try the food! I absolutely love this restaurant’s vibe, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. We started with the Pot Stickers they were amazing! The little crispy bits and sauce added the perfect touch. My boyfriend and I both ordered the 3 for $35 special, which includes an appetizer, main course, and dessert such a great deal! He had the Aburi Salmon Sushi Press to start, which he said was fresh and flavorful. For his main, he chose the Spicy Calabrian Pasta, a hearty dish packed with flavor. For dessert, he went with the Crème Brûlée Cheesecake delicious graham cracker crust and a scoop of ice cream on top! I ordered the same special and started with the Charred Corn & Avocado Dip it was amazing! The flavor was on point, and my daughter and I ate it right up. For my main course, I had the Baja Tacos the piece of cod in each taco was a generous portion, and they were super filling. I also got the Crème Brûlée Cheesecake (even though I’m not usually a crème brûlée fan) and it was surprisingly delicious! My daughter ordered the Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl with extra tuna. The presentation was phenomenal, and she devoured the entire dish definitely a hit! Huge shout-out to our server Bailey for being so amazing, friendly, and attentive! We never had to ask for a thing she noticed when our drinks were low and had refills ready before we even needed to ask. Bailey even brought my daughter a little birthday surprise to celebrate her birthday last month such a thoughtful and sweet gesture! Earls Kitchen & Bar is perfect whether you’re looking for a fun family meal or a classy date night spot. Highly recommend!

Visiting on a Friday afternoon is great! No crowd and easily found parking! Art items are expensive but you can support the local artists!

Nice art museum with rotating exhibitions (check website). Lots of cool and beautiful art and exhibitions, although as others have mentioned this museum is significantly smaller than ex. SAM or MoPOP. (It is also cheaper!) As a general heads up, they no longer do free first Fridays but offer a free 2nd Sunday for students, and discounts on tickets for Bellevue collection. When I went, tickets were $15 for adults/$8 for youth (17 and under). I have never seen a wait or a large crowd (except during artsfair in the summer) so it tends to be a quiet museum. Their exhibits are mainly on the 2nd and 3rd floor. On the 2nd floor there's a cool community art room which is great for kids to make their own art and hang it on the walls. On the 3rd floor there's a small outdoor patio area as well you can access behind two doors.

This is a clean and sophisticated museum that rotates new art every six months. I've found it to be a great place to visit for a calm and expressive experience before heading to one of the great restaurants nearby. I've also had memorable experiences learning from the staff here who are outgoing and knowledgeable.

Love, love, love this museum. Was recently there to install Nicole Gordon’s fantastic show “Altered States” and could not have had a more delightful experience. The staff and docents are great; friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Am returning soon (from Chicago no less) and very much looking forward to my next visit. This museum is a 10 out of 10 all the way round; really interesting exhibits and great staff, what more could you ask for?

I visited the museum with my cousin, we wanted to view the Burning Man exhibition. They had a small collection of gifts handed out on the playa, plus a few portraits of scenes of various moments throughout the time Burning Man has been held at Black Rock. I meandered through some of the other art exhibits which where very cool to see and some even interact with. I had an enjoyable day.

I visited this museum for the first time in the early afternoon on a Friday and was blown away! They had just opened two new exhibits on the top floor that morning so I got to walk around and experience them practically alone, which was lovely. The glass show on the second floor was beautiful and inspiring, and I was moved to tears by Julie Green’s project on the stairwell.

We went there at first Friday in July and it was admission free. It’s nice small museum. We understand that this is not huge museum. We didn’t expect much. They have pretty interesting exhibits. Lovely art. They have a cute little area for children. I think it’s worth it to come visit this museum. Will definitely come here again.

Paddy Coyne’s offers great service and a diverse menu, making it a solid choice for any occasion. Don't miss the cheese sticks appetizer – they’re packed with gooey goodness! For the main course, the bangers and mash are a standout, with in-house mashed potatoes that are rich and flavorful. The fish and chips, though, were a bit underwhelming, but still decent. Overall, a great spot for a casual meal with some hits and a few misses.

A wonderful experience at Paddy Coynes Irish Pub this afternoon. Unfortunately, the Seattle Mariners versus the Detroit Tigers Post-Season game had a few hour "rain out", so we didn't see the game at the pub. However, our waiter Brandon was a perfessional, and was clear with his communication about the oven having potential problems, and needing a reset, and test cycle before they could cook their signature Shepherd's Pie dish. After only less than ten minutes, they were able to fulfill the order. The Shepards Pie and Fish & Chips dishes were excellent and authentic. By the way, as an Irish person, my Guinness was poured to perfection, as well. Mad props to the bartender for creating the perfect pour of a Guinness that I have seen since going to Dublin. I can't wait to come back! 💚

Food came out quick and hot. Meat omelette with extra banger. Was very good and hit the spot. Had a couple bloody Mary’s to wash it down.

A nice bar in downtown with cheap drinks and a good amount of food options that looks closer to a restaurant! We got the following things: 1. A bowl of potato leek which comes with soda bread. The bowl was perfect size to share for two people. The bread was a little sweet. It felt like a few bacon bits on top would have completed the leek soup alas it was still good. 2. Loaded potato skins. They were a bit on the bland side but that might be just the dish itself. 3. Sausage rolls. These were really good with the pastey being so fluffy and flakey especially. Quantity was a little less though with literally just 4 bites other than the salad. 4. Chicken tenders with sauce on the side. These were much better than you regular tenders and not too heavy. Also there was not much loud music making this perfect to have conversations. Will definitely visit again!

Horrible food night. I’ve ate here before but tonight was a whole new level. Potato skins undercooked with sloppy Joe on top. Disgusting mashed potatoes with dried out fried chicken on top and service no time to address the issues. Even bringing the food without utensils. Thank god the beers are always good or else I would never come here again.

We enjoy coupling appointments with a nice lunch. Since we usually use a ride share, we also like to have a cocktail or three with our meal. Our visit to Paddy’s was great!! The food was satisfying. Our server was knowledgeable, fun, and helpful. We were also introduced to a new Jamison‘s Irish whiskey offering called triple triple. We spent an hour and a half or so enjoying our meal and sipping Irish beer. We will be coming back soon. Thank you and well done Paddy’s!

Update: I came back for a second round of the Halibut and Chips and the the result was the same perfection. The other update is that the fries were much better this time, fried enough to be crispy without being too oily. The col slaw per my wife who ate that side again was about the same. Overall, excellent service in a friendly environment, serving delicious food, beer, and whiskey. Below is my original review of this place and I'll add in the new picture of the meal for comparison. This place is a rare gem that is an absolute must go. I ordered the April special, Halibut Fish and Chip. It is by far the best I've ever had, the portion size was ample and the chef that prepared this cooked it with passion and finesse. To fries were lacking a bit but when dipped in a katchup and Guinness wing sauce combo... Amazing! I didn't get to try the col slaw due to my dairy restriction but my wife said she enjoyed it. To wrap the meal portion up, the Fish was perfection. The whiskey here was nothing short of delicious and balanced. The bartender working was incredibly knowledgeable and described things in just the right amount of detail. I'll absolutely come back again.

I’ve ordered takeout from Garlic Crush at this location many times, but my recent dine-in experience was disappointing. When I visited on a Thursday evening, the place was half-empty, yet many tables hadn’t been cleaned. We sat at one that looked okay, but it was sticky and clearly needed a deep clean. I ordered the veggie falafel plate and garlic fries. The food took about 20 minutes to arrive, but thankfully, it tasted good. The garlic fries were especially delicious. The falafel plate came with a pita, so you can make your own wrap. Overall, while the food was enjoyable, the lack of cleanliness made the experience unappetizing.

Solid food all around. I’ve never been a lover or a hater of shawarma and gyro but it’s…enjoyable. The humus is average plus. The bread, good. The fries, 3.5 star (so generously a 4 star). Service? Good. It’s exactly what I expected—4 star enjoyable. Price? It’s Seattle, nothing is ever inexpensive (gonna spend easily $20 a person).

Ordered the grilled lamb sandwich via Uber Eats and while the order came exactly as requested, pretty disappointed in the meat portion. Mostly bread and vegetables with just a few thin strips of lamb - not worth the $15+ price tag. Food was passable, nothing wrong with the taste, but definitely not a place I'd consider sitting down to dine in. Better options in Bellevue for Mediterranean food at this price point.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

This is the location with the best food. Not sure why it’s better than other locations but it is. Everything is flavored better, cooked better. Enjoy the food every time I’m here.

Friendliest staff! Best tasting food - especially the Garlic Fries. Quick, convenient, and healthy. Huge portions too! I met a group of 5 other young ladies there for lunch while we were staying in Bellevue for an event. Grabbed a quick lunch with ease and rapid delivery. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma plate and a side of the garlic fries. Both were beyond amazing. The portions are really big - I could only eat a few of the fries and less than 1/2 of the meal. I hated to waste but did not have a means to heat leftovers up otherwise I would have savored every single bite. The Garlic Fries are unbelievable. Definitely try them if you love hot crispy lightly salted fries - they come with a creamy garlic sauce and cheese crumbles. No one at my packed table had a single complaint - everything was perfect. The weather, outdoor dining, and even my company. Thank you, Garlic Crush!!!

Food does not have same good quality consistency. Sometimes it is good. But most of the time is awful, and yucky, and you want to throw it away, despite the expensive high price you had paid. So I consider the food here is a mediocre middle eastern food, on several visits. The food here is disappointing on several visits. I don't know who is responsible for this Service is variable too. From very bad , to worse. Never good, and never climbed to good status. Place is low on hygiene. Disgusting cooking area., filthy behind the counters where employees only area.

A Flavorful Feast and Stellar Service From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with warm smiles and efficient service. Our server, Liz, was exceptional - knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. The appetizers were a perfect start: the crispy French fries were golden-brown and perfectly seasoned, and the lentil soup was hearty and comforting. For our main course, we opted for the falafel plate. The falafel was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and bursting with flavor. The yellow rice was fluffy and well-seasoned, and the hummus and tahini were smooth and delicious. The fresh romaine lettuce and tomatoes added a refreshing crunch. Overall, a fantastic dining experience. We’ll definitely be back!

Their food was delicious, I'm not a burger person, but their mini burgers were so good. Calamari and chicken were fried perfectly, it wasn't oily, not salty. Their brisket quesadilla was great, everything was fresh. Definitely take advantage of their happy hour. Regular plates are quite big, so for small appetite this was perfect, we had to take some stuff home. Their salad was good, could use less sauce, it was a bit salty. For dessert, we had a cheesecake - it wasn't the greatest cheesecake, nothing special, very sweet. Costumer service was good, thank you everyone and to Lea (our waitress) for explaining everything.

Restaurant is very nice. Cool decor. It was half empty the Wednesday night we went. The food was well presented, see pics. Entrees; short ribs and potatoes were bland. Crab cake did not taste good at all. My wife left more than half on the plate. The bread and tater tots were the best part of the meal. Server did not seem to care much for our table. Charged us for a beverage we never got. To their credit, they removed the charge and also removed my wife's drink. All in all, the hype did not live up to the reality for us. Would not go back.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had such an amazing time at STK! The drinks were absolutely incredible, so well crafted and delicious. The staff went above and beyond; everyone was so polite, attentive, and accommodating. I missed celebrating my birthday a few months ago, and they helped me make up for it in the biggest way. From start to finish, I felt so cherished and adored. It truly turned into a night I’ll never forget, and I can’t recommend STK enough for anyone looking for great food, amazing vibes, and staff who make you feel special.

Jen, was nothing short of spectacular! Jen, went above and beyond to ensure that we had an amazing dining experience. Her very positive and bubbly personality made us feel so comfortable and free to be ourselves. Anytime I come to Seattle/Bellevue area and want a nice steakhouse dinner, I want to make sure Jen is on the schedule that night because I know she will take care of us with the highest level of customer service and provide an unforgettable experience. STK if you’re reading this review, make sure to keep Jen on staff because this is how restaurant service should be everywhere! Jen, thank you so much again for being such an amazing help to us and patient with us when selecting the most amazing cut of steak.

The food was great overall — delicious steaks and tasty sides. However, the restaurant was quite loud, which made it a bit hard to have a conversation. Still, it’s a good spot if you’re there mainly for the food and energy, not quiet dining. 🥩✨

Stayed in Bellevue for 5 nights and ate here twice! We really enjoyed sitting on their patio during their superb happy hour as they have phenomenal food and drink specials. Our server was new and in training and we thought we was really nice and did a great job! He asked us why we were visiting and told him it was our anniversary. At the end he brought us mini celebratory drinks. Will definitely return on our yearly trip to the Seattle area!

My friends and I had a celebratory dinner at STK and it was my best dining experience in Seattle. Simon our host and server was so kind, accommodating and attentive to our needs. The food came in humongous portions that 5 of us could not finish and had to take home 2 bags filled with food. We ordered out of their fixed price happy hour menu but they were willing to swap out things for us. Go here if you want to eat well and receive great service too!

This was an absolutely delightful dinner! The Peking duck was beautifully presented with golden crispy skin and tender meat—one of the best I’ve had in Seattle. The eggplant with minced pork and shrimp filling was flavorful, and the Chinese dough fritter added a fun, crispy twist. The Kung Pao Chicken & Prawns had a nice balance of heat and crunch from the cashews. Some of the dishes were a bit oily, but the taste and presentation made up for it. Overall, great food and elegant atmosphere. Would recommend for special occasions or upscale Chinese dining.

Barons Sino Kitchen is a great spot for a meal, especially if you’re looking for a calm atmosphere where you can actually hold a conversation. The food was tasty and well-prepared, and the service was attentive without ever feeling rushed. It’s also a nice setting for business discussions since it’s quieter than many other restaurants in the area. The only reason I didn’t give a full five stars is that while everything was good, nothing stood out as exceptional. Still, it’s a solid choice and I’d gladly return.

In the bustling city, there are always places that turn dining into a ritual. This Chinese restaurant is one of those rare places where you instinctively slow your breath the moment you walk in. There is no noisy background music, no ostentatious decor—just warm wood tones, soft lighting, and quiet, attentive service. The space is elegantly divided into semi-private sections, offering a sense of calm and intimacy. The menu blends traditional Cantonese and Jiangnan flavors with a modern aesthetic, where each dish is as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the palate.

Best Chinese restaurant in town! No matter you’re looking for a place for just casual dining or formal dining, this is a place you want to check out. Their peking duck is the best I have had in the US.🦆 They also have very good dim sum. That’s not all, they even have a full bar!

It was easy to reserve a table for 10 on a friday night. The highlights of the dinner were the peking duck and the braised pork belly. The peking duck was one of the best I've had. Crispy and tender. It was interesting to have canteloupe as a topping on the pancake instead of cucumber, but it worked. The braised pork belly was not too fatty and it was very flavourful with a little sweetness to it. My friends also liked the seafood fried rice, but I had a couple of bites that were too salty. The other dishes like the wagyu beef, fish, broccoli, and green beans were standard. Service was good as the waters were always topped up, but the food came a bit slow. The cost ended up being just over $50 after 20% gratuity, which was less than expected. Overall, I enjoyed the meal and think it's worth visiting!

I had mapo tofu , salted duck which is my husband favorite and wagyu mongolian was amazing .. the service also excellent .. and the price i would say very worth it ..

Regardless of how many times, I have been here. It is over price Chinese food. My coworker said the duck is good, but $80 plus. Back to my noodle dish, veggies stir fly egg noodle, it was not too greasy. $20 for what you see in the picture. 20% gratitude for group over 5 people, the service was good. They refilled water and come and check on us.

Pretty lovely experience in general. Price was high as expected for Bellevue downtown. We spent $90/person ordering two tapas, paella ($32/person) and one drink/person. Extensive menu with lots of Spanish/Mediterranean drink & food offerings. Paella was surprisingly good, dense saffron & tomato flavor soaked up by rice, fresh (though small sized) seafood, chicken was the highlight. Lampchops were super bomb, Yukon potatoes were extremely soft & creamy yet crispy on the outside. Octopus leg had a wonderful smoky flavor but I wished it was charred a little more. Service was very quick and top notch. We did go during weekday, so it wasn’t too busy and was easy to get a table w/o reservation.

Came here with my team from work for moral dinner and we had a overall good time. Spanish restaurant with lots of unique flavors. Most of the dishes are small and meant to be shared called Tapas. We ordered a bunch of them and I can name some of my favorites. Smoke salmon flat bread was delicious, not to much sauce that it overpowers the salmon and crunchy flatbread. The flatbreads are almost like a pizza in the bread and some of the toppings. Octopus was cooked very well not super chewy or overcooked with a rich sauce on top. The vegetarian rice was also good, almost like a biryani but more tomatoe based. And the chicken skewers were really good, perfectly cooked with a nice savory sauce highly recommend that dish. Couple dishes fell a little flat. The stuffed artichoke with salmon were alright, little to much sauce and rich, couldn't eat much of it. Appetizer of bread and mushrooms was unappealing and bread want very good. The Desserts were nice, nothing amazing but not bad, chocolate cake was surprisingly not too sweet. However the apple cream pie one was too sweet and wouldn't recommend that. Overall worth a look if you want to try something a little different, interesting flavors and good meals to choose from. P.S we had to wait an extra 30mins because we didn't "lock in" our reservations. Make sure you call and hour before going to let them know you will be there otherwise they will give your seat up if it's packed, which it usually is.

Proactive, fast service and hip, energetic (but not loud) surroundings make up for tapas and paella that are in general, either too salty, too soggy or dripping with oil. Most of the food certainly looks better in pictures than it tastes in reality. The Mediterranean chicken was a happy exception as was the garlic shrimp.

A wonderful restaurant with delicious paella and tapas. I definitely recommend the patatas bravas, the salmon dip, and of course, if you're dining with others, the paella.

This restaurant is good for one person to small group. I could feel cozy by myself. As one of the Japanese person frequently eat fish, I can say Spanish sardines here is great.

My first visit to Castilla Restaurant. I am impressed . The service was excellent , atmosphere was great. The food : we had The Brussel sprouts w/ monchego and they were excellent. There is a flavor to them that takes them leaps and bounds past all the competitors offering this simple dish. I am on a mission to find what that ingredient is… A must have if you like BS’s. We also had the rabbit Paella. I have had paella in Spain many times, so my comparison is against some of the best in Barcelona and Madrid. While it was wonderful, it was a mild style, LESS spice, heat and saffron than what I expect and like. The rabbit was perfectly prepared and tasty. And this is why I only gave 4 Stars, there were several small chards of bone in the meat. I assume, they chopped the rabbit with a cleaver which crushed the bones. I did not appreciate picking bone out of several bites, so 4 stars from me. But I will go back to try some of the other dishes.

The tapas were great. They have a good happy hour, but some of the dishes are still pricey

Good food with bottomless fries, friendly service, lots of TV's, and dog friendly inside!... They even brought a bowl of water over for my dog.

We needed a late night dinner and this was close to our hotel. We ended up popping in during trivia, which was fun. Service was good and the burgers were bangin'. We would definitely come back if we find ourselves in Bellevue again.

While the restaurant's setting is upscale, it's best to approach it with modest expectations, especially regarding the menu. We experienced considerable delays; for instance, we waited 45 minutes just for a mushroom burger. However, the ambience is pleasant, making it a great spot to unwind with friends over drinks. Food isn’t filling and you are paying $20 for a burger. One drawback was the lack of vegetarian indicators on the menu. I initially ordered the magic mushroom burger assuming it was vegetarian, only to discover it came with a beef patty. Thankfully, the waiter promptly swapped it for a bean burger patty upon my request. Food isn’t very filling and you are charged $20 for a burger?

Ate there with coworkers during lunch and after work too. Severs were helpful and attentive but not invasive. Decent pricing, good food. Good place to meet blue collar workers after 2/3m!

I love Sam’s! Food is delicious. It’s a fair price. They are apart of mileage plan dining, and parking is pretty easy. Blacked seasoned chicken salad is delicious. Plus there’s a full bar with plenty of seating.

Aloha burger was good, but should have tasted more of pineapple than it did. Meat, bun, cheese, all else good. Limited beer selection was a bit of a disappointment. Very loud sports from multiple screens. It is what it is, and I’m sure it’s perfect for some, but my preference. Service was very good and attentive though, which to me is fundamental. I had two beers and the burger and ended up at only $36 including tip on a Saturday day night which was mind blowing! I might come back too!

Thus was another stop for Thursday Night Football. They have some good burgers, lots of screens and the staff is super nice. Give yourself some time since they do seem to be under staffed. Time isn't an issue while watching a game but if you're in a hurry this my not be the spot but if you are up for a good atmosphere a drink and some food Sam's Tavern is a good spot to try out

Fun sandwich shop! Great variety! Service was fast, friendly and knowledgeable about ingredients. The sandwiches were tasty, eating the savory first then the sweet. If you want speciality sandwiches found on the website, order 24 hrs in advance so they can make them during their production time. Sandwiches were decently priced and filling. Can't wait to come back soon!!

Really really really good sandwiches. Our favorites are the following: 1. Okonomiyaki 2. Miso Katsu 3. Mango Cream Honorable mentions: - Fried Shrimp - Crispy Chicken Participation trophy: - Crab Croquette The only one we didn’t like: - Matcha Strawberry Too sweet, especially with the adzuki bean. It might have been good if it was just strawberry and matcha cream. 2 sandwiches per person, 3 if you’re particularly hungry or just eat a lot, like me! I was in Seattle for 5 days and we came here twice. Once was to take sandwiches on a hike, which was perfect. I was worried the mango cream wouldn’t survive the ascent but it lasted well! The second was our last lunch before my flight. I took extras on the plane and they were delicious.

I like Tres Sandwich but I have issues with their prices, portions, and promise of delivering all types of sandwiches listed on their website and shop since I've never once seen all of these varieties available and visible together. PROS - great location, plenty of parking - online order system is great - supposedly offers a wide variety of sandwiches, both savory and sweet - my favorites are egg salad, fiery chicken, loco moco and shrimp cutlet. Also their sweet sandwiches are great and well filled. - bread is freshly baked, incredibly soft and fluffy. Bread sold separately. The bread reminds me of actual Japanese bread eaten in Tokyo - Friendly and polite staff. Everyone always smiles CONS - savory sandwiches are overpriced for the value. I paid $6.80 before tax for 2 shrimp cutlet sandwiches. Picture shows that only 1/3 of the sandwich is filled. This is consistent across majority of their savory sandwiches where I pay these prices for eating plain bread. If I'm paying such prices for a tiny sandwich I expect a good balance. - The ratio of stuffing to bread is bad. 2/3 of every sandwich lacks any stuffing especially the edges which are always empty. There's not even butter! Skimping on stuffing is one of the cardinal sins in my books. - Never ever have I received, ordered or even seen all the varieties they claim to sell online in person. Yesterday at 11am on a Saturday, when I asked about the loco moco I was told they "were sold out." How can you sell out of a popular sandwich at 11am in the middle of your work day? What are you doing in the kitchen for the next 3 hours? Are you serious? My assumption is that they don't and will never have all the varieties available that they claim to sell. This is a serious offense to my tummy. Produce evidence of said sandwich or remove promises from your site. - limited hours and timing. They've never expanded, don't allow same day orders online and continue to "sell out" like it's a good thing. Well it's not. If you're constantly out of sandwiches you are not successfully forecasting how much to produce. - tipping culture is out of control. You're running a takeout window! Expecting tips when I'm going out of my way to drive, spend time and money to arrive at a small shop where they don't even offer seating, is asinine. Pay your workers living wages and stop shoving off your responsibility to consumers who don't even get the joy of eating a complete balanced sandwich. I have issues with how this business operates and I hope they improve. In the meantime, go check out their sandwiches and make up your own mind. For me, I'm limiting my intake until I see improvements.

Order ahead the night before if the want something specific I usually go in the morning and they normally have everything I want Today I got a sandwich on sale I can only assume it was from the day before. It was like they just made it and half the price! I have tried half the menu by now and haven't found a sandwich I didn't love This is a must try place!!

If you love Japanese convenience store sandwiches, this is the place to satisfy your cravings! 🥪 The shop itself is quite small — it’s strictly a takeout spot, not a dine-in café — but every sandwich is worth it. I recommend placing your order a day ahead if you want to try several flavors, since walk-in selections can be limited depending on what’s left at the time when you are in line. Every sandwich we’ve tried has been delicious! Our favorites are the cod fish, ham and cheese, shrimp cutlet, tres special, loco moco, and egg salad. The coffee jelly and pudding are must-tries too. They also sell their fluffy shokupan sliced bread in bags — perfect to take home! Took one point off only because I wish the shop were a little bigger. The space is very limited, so it’s not ideal for bringing children, stroller or a wheelchair inside.

Amazing Japanese style sandwiches! Bought the miso katsu, matcha strawberry, chocolate strawberry, blazing chicken and pork katsu sandwiches. All of them were delicious and just right. I especially loved the pork katsu one though. It tasted exactly like the ones you could get in Japan. One thing to note- if you are going there, make sure to go as early as you can (8-830 am) because the sandwiches sell out fast! Coffee jelly was really delicious too and not too sweet or overpowering. I haven’t tried the drinks but they look great. The general prices are really affordable too. Overall, this is one of the best sandwich places in Bellevue and I will definitely be back!

Nut allergy friendly: There are clearly some sandos with nuts, like the peanut butter jelly sandwich, but most do not have any and the ingredients are clearly identified for each if you ask during purchase. According to my local Seattle friend, it is a tradition to take a few sandos on moderately long hikes to enjoy at the summit, so that is what we do (or whenever we're at a convention, or...just want some sandos while I'm in town). Sandos are generally $6-$8. The prices are found in the display cabinet. Service is really fast; sandwiches are pre-made and there are two registers zipping people through. I've had a few sandos from here in the past, usually their pork katsu or the standard ham. They're pretty solid. I recently got the fried cod sandwich and although it is relatively mayo heavy, I thought it was one of their best ones and would definitely get it again. One sando is a nice light lunch and you could definitely eat two or even three on a hike or if you're doing something that makes an appetite. Great little sando spot. Lot of options. Quick service. No complaints.

Unsuspecting takeout stall in Bellevue so I expected it to be cheaper, but was more expensive than dining at a restaurant. $18 for a takeout item is too much. Food is tasty and has enough vegetarian options, but won’t be going back because of the price. Employees were very nice and helpful though.

Party... Pide Party! Yeah! Authentic Turkish items and walk-up convenience outside the shopping mall! Walked by for ages before finally finding out. Dolmades, hummus, etc. Truly a gem!

It's expensive but if it's between a $13 burger in the area, the top notch ingredients and fresh dough I'd do it again. Knafe is worth getting if you like the idea of eating a cheeseboard with honey and crackers.

The food was super hot and burned my mouth. Did not have much taste to it other than the cheap vegetable oil it was cooked on. It is very expensive for what you get, there was barely any meat in my food. There are also very few tables and when it rains there’s only one that’s covered from the rain. Not good value.

i wanted to sample desserts so i ordered Kunefe and Baklava. service was terrible so I only left a small tip ... Because i don't want my dessert be spitted on. Lol. baklava was 3/5 stars. Which makes it one of the best in Seattle area. Sadly that is the problem with seatlle region. The deserts was not handed out to me after payment. The server turned away from our family and avoided looking at us. After 10 min of wait, i finally broke down and asked: how long till i get my desserts. answer: server shows me a waffle maker cooking kunefe and says 10 more min. so i said i want just my Baklava so i can leave. I don't have that much time. i get a glare. I continue: "i need to leave. You can eat the other dessert". Another glare and server wordlessly hands me baklava. No appology, no attempt to make customer happy, no self recremination, that oops i should had said this desert take 20 min to cook. No salesmanship that hey its very delisious, please wait. nothing. just silent glares. Aweful service. Not coming back here again.

Lamb and cheese patties: ‼ ️Must-eat for lamb lovers‼ ️ Super delicious! The lamb is big

I only ate there twice. It's not my favorite Turkish food style but I don't mind it when I an at the mall. They don't put enough meat in the dishes . They have a good selection of vegetarian dishes.

Had a great time here watching the NBA finals. Lisa and her Family are great hosts and the prices here are against inflation, meaning their great and staff here are resisting raising prices just because everyone else is. Food is really good and well sourced. Drinks are outstanding. Vibe is homily and family like. Will return. Highly recommend.

This bar is the absolute best you can find in Bellevue. Staff is beyond courteous and welcoming, food is great, atmosphere is on point, and there’s a surplus of regulars that are easy to strike up a conversation with. I’ve been coming to this bar for roughly 6 years, and I can say without a doubt, any negative comments about the staff are likely during peak volume when they have to be a little short with their interactions to accommodate for all of the customers. They don’t tolerate rude patrons and absolutely match the energy that you give them as I’d expect in any dive bar. Be kind and you’ll get kindness in return

Andrew the cook. Let's start with the food. Andrew prepares the best tasting and looking food. I come for the home cooked meals. The entire establishment is amazing. The Bartenders are super solid. If you're from out of town trying to break thru in Bellevue, The Goose is a great experience with open minded people. And alot of love and respect. So don't come with the drama. Live, Love, Laugh. ***** 5 Stars Review.

Pretty chill atmosphere, not much to look at on the outside but inside it's very cool dive bar with darts and a juke box. The food and service is decent. Drinks are strong! Which is great! No happy hour because the drinks are already affordable. Lots of parkinf.

Great place to meet up with co-workers and forget about the work week. Staff tolerates our wildness, and the regulars are cool.

Went in got the hot one wings with a friend, tasted pretty good. But I heard it gone now since it ain’t that popular. Could be wrong heard from the friend that go there all the time. The pool table is pretty neat 3 quarter per game, first come first serve.

Very kind bartenders first time here. Kindness goes far. Thank you for making me feel welcome. Hope to be back.

The music on the stage at Crossroads Mall is fantastic and centered in the food court with excellent comfort food options. Always a treat!

Pretty empty, mostly just some teens and a few homeless folks hanging around.

This place is really interesting — it’s a food plaza with various kitchens where you can try flavors and dishes from all over the world. I tried Colombian and Hawaiian cuisine, and both were delicious! There’s also a giant chessboard for playing a fun game of chess. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Other than Hallmark, the Mini City Hall and Old Navy the interior of the south end of the mall is quiet. So a good spot to read, talk, walk or take a moment to balance your purchases. Most of the periferal stores are useful. Parking is good. Bus access is good. Post office, gas station , CVS, Michael's, Dick's, in the parking lot or across the street. Even the wall is easy from where I stay. I like this place a lot!

A lively place in Bellevue. Variety of shops and restaurants. Usually crowded but relaxing,with a casual atmosphere at the open air dining court , perfect time to spend with friends and family, over a lunch, snack or dinner.

Culinary diversity. That's what this mall is all about. Something to stimulate your taste buds from an abundance of countries from around the world. My favorite is the chicken Mole'. Try a taste of Mexico. Then join your friends who decided on another country.

The international food court here is awesome! Huge variety and really excellent quality at reasonable prices. Just a cool place to come without a plan

This very small establishment is a great place to hang out. Often it will be very busy yet although that may be an issue for some, the wait staff and bartenders more than make up for it with their friendly service. While on a staycation with my wife we ordered take out. Nearly everything on the order was messed up. Frustrated I called the manager who not only refunded my order, he had a member of his staff bring the correct to my hotel nearby and included a few freebie items for dessert. Although the food isn't exceptional, it's what you would expect from a restaurant/bar environment, the service on the other hand is exceptional.

Good American gastro pub with snacks, salads, skidders, burger and some specials. They also have some good main plates. The cocktails seem amazing but I was on non-drinking week didn't try any but the bartender's are skilled and the ingredients top quality. Liked the bar sitting area, in any case there was no other option on a Friday evening they would have 1hr wait for a table so best to book in advance or go in small group for the bar area!

After one unsuccessful attempt to get brunch at this place, I was finally able to get to it last weekend. The place is always packed with a wait period of about 10-15 minutes for a weekend brunch. I was excited, but it didn't turn out to be as good as I thought it would be. The space is really nice having a modern industrial look. The servers are cool but the food itself is average. I got biscuits and gravy from their brunch menu. In my opinion it lacked some flavors, it wasn't bad but it wasn't fantastic either. My gf ordered a veggie Benedict which came out to be cold (not a fan).

I have to start by saying I would have given it a five star but the service was mediocre. I had to ask for everything but only after waiving someone down. I was literally ignored by a waiter standing next to me a bit frustrating since I had been out of water for some time. I had the corn beef hash it was good. I think with that dish it would have served it well with a second egg or the yoke a bit runnier since it was half cooked I was not able to get a good mixing of the yoke in the entire meal which was very good in spite of that. I tried my wife’s waffles and enjoyed that. I had the breakfast cocktail. Enjoyed it. Over all really enjoyed the time but could not rate five star due to those small things.

We walked in without a reservation on a Friday evening and found a table with no wait time. There were options to sit at the patio but we chose to sit inside. The ambience was a mix of chic and casual. We ordered our drinks and i tried their pineapple shrub and it was yum! We ordered crab cakes, Brussel sprouts and the lentil hash for dinner. The carb cake was just ok nothing I can really rave about, the Brussel sprouts were just ok and their lentil hash was a surprise to me. It was delicious and very flavorful. I enjoyed the hash the most and it was pretty light. I wasn’t up for a dessert however looked at their dessert menu which had about 6 or 7 options. It was a good experience and there is parking in the building. The parking ticket can be validated at the restaurant and they were proactive in reminding that which I found was pretty cool.

Came here late on a Saturday afternoon and got a table immediately. The tuna sandwich was delicious and was packed with tuna. The pork and beef sliders were also flavorful (happy hour menu). Overall, liked the food as well as the ambiance.

I came here on a Wednesday night and it was pretty busy, my party of 3 had to wait 10 minutes or so for a table. We were sat at a weird low table with armchairs, so that kinda sucked for eating. I asked for a beer recommendation since I like sours and they didn’t have any on the menu. I got the La Chouffe which was very sweet and not really to my taste. I got a salad, a burger, and fries. Overall the food was okay, nothing to rave about. The burger was a bit bland but the fries were crispy and yummy. I think I’d try their cocktails if I went back.

They have a nice choice of drinks Food was amazing! We ordered 7 or 8 dishes and all were good. They validate only 2 hours of parking, which was not enough for us, we stayed here for 4 hours. So I recommend using spot hero or parking at another place not to pay $20- 40 for parking. We got a booth table, so it was comfortable and private.

It was my first time at Black Bottle and we sat outside and they even wiped down the chairs and table right before we sat down. We got drinks and food to share family style. The food was pretty good, nothing stood out to me like crazy though. They had some fun and different things on their menu which was nice to try as well. The portions after definitely shareable.

What a cool spot with some tasty eats. Came on a holiday and they were open and we were the only diners. We took the beef short ribs, falafel, ravioli, artichoke salad and lavender lemon cheese cake....aaahhhhmmmmaazzzziimmgg. Plates come as they are ready and portions i good. If you have the chance check it out...looks like a cool place to hang for happy hour. Take a load off Fanny.

Great place to get bar bites. I love the atmosphere of this restaurant. We got the pork belly and a flatbread, which was perfect for two people. The star of the show was a pork belly, amazing flavors, and the pork belly was cooked perfectly as well.The flatbread was pretty good too. Overall, I highly recommend and would come back.

We pretty much tried every one of their appetizers and all of them were great! Also, I was indecisive on the drink but the waitress was super nice that she offered to make me another drink if I didn’t like the first one and she did! Nice place for a happy hour team outing.

Maybe 4.5 star. Ambience was solid, and the service was great. Food tasted really great while the flatbreads were hot. But not at all a bad option late Friday night. You have limited options so I will take it.

The ribs were really soft and tasty, really good. Just a bit too salty. The drink was good. The place was almost empty when we went, which was good as it was quiet but was not lively as I expected.

Our family of 20 spent Mother’s Day at the Forum Social House playing Putt Putt golf, had fabulous food, beer and a great time altogether. We had the cheesiest Mac & cheese, tasty wings, burgers, different varieties of flat bread pizzas and it was all so scrumptious. Also want to mention the servers were attentive and kept on returning to check on us. Thank you Forum and we will definitely return for other celebrations.

This is a great place to hangout with friends or colleagues for some fun. Their food choices could have been better but otherwise ambience and service were good. I liked the outing with my team. It was quite relaxing.

Visited Forum Social House for a corporate event and had a great experience. The atmosphere was vibrant—perfect for networking, socializing with peers, or just relaxing. They served a solid selection of finger foods and appetizers that kept things casual but classy. The venue offered fun mini activities that helped break the ice and keep the energy up. It’s also a great spot for families or gatherings with friends—plenty of variety and something for everyone. Parking could be improved, but to be fair, I was coming from the suburbs. - JY review

Had an awesome night at Forum Social House! Kara was our server and absolutely crushed it — super friendly, attentive without hovering, and somehow kept our whole group’s complicated drink orders straight. She really made the night feel easy and fun. Great vibe overall, but Kara’s service stood out. Definitely ask for her if you go!

Dined at the restaurant at Forum Social House & had a great experience! The server, Kara, was friendly while giving wonderful service! She was attentive to refilling our beverages & checking in to see if we needed anything! We ordered the lemon cake & chocolate cake, which were both delicious but the chocolate cake should come with ice cream!! 😄

Thoroughly enjoyed our experience at the Topgolf Swing Suites. Great equipment, great food and drinks, and superb service (we had Tina). Will be coming back for sure!

Tony and Nelson are the best ever— the best customer service I have had in my life. I lost a super important bracelet and I came back super late and they located it for me. They deserve the best, seriously! They made my night and they didn’t even know it was my birthday. I will absolutely be returning thanks to them!

Love coming here with friends and such! Beautiful lounging area with multiple seats to sit and talk, etc. The food is pretty good, but the prices are pretty high, but it’s an upscale place so makes sense. On weekends it’s crowded and the lounge area inside gets pretty packed, so I would suggest coming on a weekday during the afternoon where no one is there. The staff seem to be pretty out of it and not on the same page with each other in terms of what’s on the menu and checking ID’s. Every time i come here they say and do things differently depending on the server. Their bathrooms are shared, so you’d be sharing with the other gender, so be aware. They also close and kick people out like 30 minutes early every time I’m here which is a bit frustrating, but you can easily get away with staying an hour after closing (sometimes!). Would and still will, definitely come back though :)

Stopped by with some friends for a quick drink and boy was I surprised! There’s an urban upscale vibe, the decor was so stylish and hip, felt like I was at a posh penthouse! I love the city views from the balcony. There’s a fireplace inside and out, I enjoyed the house music, the drinks were strong and the service good. The bathrooms appear to have a separate entrances for a man and a woman but when you walk inside both areas are combined with no wall to separate the two-pretty cool and unexpected. If you want to impress some friends or a date bring them here.

A lot of fries for one order, way more for one person to handle but if you want well drink be sure to specify of else they’ll give you top shelf.

Relax atmosphere with a great view. The cocktails were pretty good. We ordered mushrooms appetizer and it was tasty. The service was outstanding. We had a great time.

Love coming here on a quiet evening, sometimes we get the whole balcony to ourselves! The food options are decent but pricy, and the atmosphere is very laidback surprisingly. Definitely recommend this place if you are trying to wind down, or a casual date, etc. I only really go here for a nice view of the city tbh.

I was in town and staying at the W Hotel and wanted to chill out someplace late. A quick Google search revealed that the hotel bar turned into a late-night club with a DJ. I took the elevator down from my room and grabbed a booth by the fireplace in the middle of the room. The cocktails were tasty and not too expensive. The DJ kept the vibe going, but not too loud and crazy. A great place.

Best nightlife in Bellevue. Great DJ and room for dancing. Huge outdoor deck with couches, swinging porch chairs, and heaters. Bar service is great even when really busy. Bartenders make good drinks even when they are being slammed. Vibe here is top notch.

Really excellent little pub/sports bar with a diner feel to it. Had a few beers and the BLT. Beer, Seltzer, and cocktail options. Service was a little slow if you're just looking to get in and out for a meal, but perfect for hanging out, drinking, and watching one of the big screens.

First time coming to Mustard Seed Grill & Pub. I had a great experience with the staff. Their super friendy and the food was really good. I didn’t have to wait forever for the food either. I appreciate the staff checking in with us as well. It seems like they really appreciate their customers. I would definitely come back again and next time I will bring my family and friends!

You feel good in the atmosphere, and people are friendly, pub designed great, and food's quality is acceptable, variety beer you can drink and very big screens for watching sports. We had fun

This place has been a Newport Hills institution for quite a few years. Plenty of dining tables and good food. Four 8 foot pool tables in pretty good shape as well as dart boards to keep you entertained. A well stocked bar with an assortment of beers as well as pull tabs compliment the friendly atmosphere. Check it out!

Update: in response to the owners comment stating "see you later" ...nope, you won't be seeing me later. I've discovered much better choices for food and drink in the South Bellevue area at better prices too. Your food is horrible your drinks are disgusting and your prices are ridiculous and your prices don't match the low level of quality food and drink you serve. I'm willing to bet that most of your patrons live close by and can just walk there or just don't know any better. Gave this place several chances but each time they fail to deliver. Breakfast always has burnt toast burnt sausage burnt bacon no flavor. It's like they've just given up and don't care. Sometimes in the evening time during happy hour is very busy because they have an attractive waitress and a bunch of old guys there trying to hit on her and you can't even get a drink. But I guess that's how they make their money. All in all not a good atmosphere not a good place to get food. Better choices not too far away

What a find, my wife had the fish and chips special with a bowl of clam chowder and i had the shrimp and chips with onion rings as our appetizer. The food was good and the service was very good.

staff is very friendly and helpful also they do big delicious food portions !!!!!
