“exceptional service, they offered lots of suggestions on what to order and checked in on us multiple times, keeping out water and drinks topped off. the cocktails were very uniquely crafted and refreshing. all the food had great balanced flavors and was quite reasonably priced for the quality“
“Great happy hour prices on food and drink (from 4-6pm). The tacos were tasty as was the guacamole "flight" with additional salsas. Bartender was generous with serving the chips and on time to keep our beers refilled. Parking is a little tricky even in the assigned parking lot, but I think that is everywhere in downtown Redmond these days.“
“Sunday brunch is amazing. The sausage gravy was so delicious (I’m picky about gravy) and the fried chicken was crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. The biscuits are perfectly buttery and not overly flaky. We tried the firebread which was really good as well. I love spicy food so it was perfect for me. The pomegranate mimosa and the perfect amount of bubbles and the perfect amount of pomegranate. Based on this experience I think we would have been happy with anything we tried here. So yum!“

“My 5th trip to Vons. The wings are damn good, as advertised - service is tip top - excellent catter level vibe and ambience. The Bodi is perfectly cold and delicious. The smash burger is a formidable opponent. I look forward to exploring more of the menu.“
“Visited Arleana's when they opened and thought the food was mediocre. Under Executive Chef Jacob Howell, the food is SUPERB! Visited for dinner on Tuesday and returned for brunch yesterday. Both meals were sooooo tasty! The salmon for the brown-stewed dinner dish was cooked perfectly; the chicken and biscuit at brunch was a treat for my taste buds! I am not a fan of pimento cheese, but I would happily have that spread on ANYTHING. The Brussels sprouts we ordered were so good, I asked for some to go and they heated up nicely in my air fryer. If you've visited before - give it another try - you WILL NOT be disappointed!!!!!“
“A solid option for authentic Italian food.Service was decent but on Easter Sunday, the bartender was also doubling as waitress, so when a large group came in with lots of drinks… everyone else was left waiting for too long.Food was above average quality and on the pricey side.Be sure to avoid sitting next to the fireplace; it might look nice but for the few sitting next to it, it is too warm and uncomfortable.I would return but would be trying other Italian restaurants in the area before going back.“
“Once again Kro Bar doesn't disappoint ! Food was amazing, drinks fabulous and the service top notch. Kinda difficult for my short legs on the bar stools just have to remember to make reservations further in advance so my feet don't have to dangle. But sitting at the bar was fun! ?“
“The Guest House is a hidden gem in the Kenmore neighborhood! I have been there numerous times and the food and the service have always been superb. Tonight I had the halibut, and it was phenomenal. So light and refreshing . The amazing citrus pea sauce just screamed spring!“

“We had a private event at Northwest Sprits and it was perfect. Kristin (Events Director) was super organized and responsive. She answered all the questions and emails promptly which made our decision making easy. The food from Von’s 1000 Spirits was fresh and delicious. Jacqueline (General Manager/mixologist) and Kaitlin (mixologist) who ran the event were super professional and helpful, they made empty glasses and plates “magically” disappear from the tables. But most importantly they made delicious and beautifully presented crafted cocktails while accommodating dietary restrictions of our guests. All of our guests were extremely happy with the event.“
“This place is a hidden gem! The food is delicious, and I love that the menu features rotating items, as well as the baked goods. The interior has great vibes. I've been multiple times, and the food is consistently delicious! Be sure to check their website because they host events for wine, champagne, and dinners. This area has no brunch spots and the brunch items are some of their best. And there is plenty of parking.“
“Tried this place for the first time today and it was fantastic. Phenomenal food and top notch service.I personally recommend the cauliflower fritters, mushroom risotto, or the vegetable stir-fry. Also, for dessert, the chocolate lava cake was incredible.“
“We four had dinner and drinks; two among our party live nearby and are regulars. I really enjoyed the Bibimbap I ordered with beer!BEER/WINE: 4.0. Good selection of beers, and limited but decent wines. We were all satisfied with our choices of beers and wines.FOOD: 4.0.- Bibimbap: 4.5. A real standout and I will order again. I hadn't had Bibimbap this good since living in Hawaii and Guam. I chose to have with Tofu, though beef is also available. Especially good with a cold beer.- Sashimi: 3.5. The Japanese person in our group rated her DELUXE DINNER as quite good for previously-frozen fish, and says she would order it again. I ordered one tako sashimi and would rate it a 2.5; in future I won't order individual sashimi.SERVICE: 3.5. Enthusiastic and accurate.AMBIANCE: 4.0. Indoor and some outdoor seating. It became quite full by 6pm on the Friday we visited (with a full parking lot), but never got so noisy that we couldn't easily carry on a conversation.“
“If you didn’t know it was there already you might have just missed it. Great spot, we had a really nice time! The staff was clearly working as a team and taking care of each other as well as us, everyone was having such a great time, there was an AM birthday party, sports, laughs - good food and fast too! We will be back!“
“I really enjoy this restaurant. The staff is great super helpful and genuinely kind. They made the experience better in every way, from food to drink recommendations. Food was delicious we loved everything we got from the beet salad to the burgers.“
“Love this local farm to table place. $$$ for 2, no drinks; but everything was delicious. Had the onion and crostini appetizer, ribeye with mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts were all cooked to perfection. The fish is chips always excellent, served with their sweet apple sauce for dipping fries. You won't find ketchup here.We did not have dessert this time but the apple cobbler is excellent.“

“Once again another top-notch experience at Heritage. Every single employee was incredibly welcoming, kind and attentive. Service from start to finish was the best. The food, as always, was delicious-the burger, fries and saffron aioli (could put this sauce on everything) keeps me coming back over and over. If you haven't been-you need to! A constant favorite!!!“
“Been back twice in 1 week.Excellent Mescalita.The enchiladas are great and they have vegan!Really friendly people work here. Great service, too.Don’t ask why La Gloria isn’t packed with people. Excellent location, great food and drinks, no wait, TVs for sports.Check it out. You’ll be glad you did.Vegetarian options: I tried the enchiladas with potato and cauliflower. Delicious!Parking: Parking galore. Just walk a few steps inside.Kid-friendliness: Perfect for families here.“
“We love this place! The food is always amazing. Our favorite gal (pictured) is the sweetest. She's always exceptionally welcoming and is a ray of sunshine. We leave happier because of her.This restaurant is one of my favorites in Kirkland.Phad Khe Mao, BBQ, papaya salad, Tom Kha, Crispy Rice salad, larb and Panang are some of our favorite dishes. Ask for the fresh chili's condiments.I forgot to take photos today, but here's the evidence that it was wonderful.Vegetarian options: Plenty to eat and enjoy hereDietary restrictions: Great gluten free options and you won't get sickParking: Underground, but they validate.“
“Elegant and tonal ambiance with excellent service, great food, and decent drinks. The wagyu tacos and guacamole were amazing, and the servers are quick and attentive. The margaritas were just okay, though, and for the price you'd expect them to be a lot stronger.“

“Went with family during happy hour. Enjoyed salad and snacks.Parking: There is also a parking garage but I don't know if it is free or paid.Kid-friendliness: Outdoor seating with a grassy area and spray park. Kids are welcome inbthe diningroom also.“
“I took my teenagers here on a Friday night and it was great! The service provided by Linda was fast (but not rushed), friendly, and made us feel very welcome. The restaurant was clean and had an older American diner feel.I was in the mood for breakfast (served all day). I had the chicken, fried steak and eggs, and the gravy on the chicken was wonderful! All of our portions were good sized, and the food was really good! I’m sad it took me so long to find The Great American Diner in Issaquah.Parking: This is on busy front street in Issaquah, so there is limited parking on the street and some parking behind the business but many of the spots are reserved.“
“A must try Thai restaurant!! Went on a Sunday lunch without reservations but could get a table immediately. I ordered their Prawn acacia leaf omlet soup and seafood custard curry with rice. The soup was extremely unique and delicious. Seafood was top notch too.The food presentation was amazing and portion size was perfect for two.It’s located right on the Kirkland waterfront so parking might take a while.Overall highly recommended!!!“
“Tech City is a fantastic bowling alley with even more fantastic staff. They have a great atmosphere with great service and I wouldn't want to do my bowling leagues anywhere else! Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a regular (or occasional!) spot to hang. :)“
“We love going here to eat, it’s nice and fancy but not too pricey and has good sushi. We liked the Sweet Sensation, Mexican ninja, Seattle crunch and skin on skin (in that order). I think the value in a well made California roll is underestimated and oh did they make a mean spicy California roll. Edamame was good too. Not the biggest fan of the scorpion sting and Barcelona sunset.Note: happy hour EVERYDAY (even Saturday) after 9pm and some other midday time. Highly recommend Japonessa.“
“Was great! Went for my birthday, family brunch. Those times they were quite stingy about outside food.-The family brunch, i brought a gluten free muffin for my mom (she’s celiac) and were petty about it. I don’t get why a GLUTEN FREE food item was a problem… we still got many other items and still gave them a 20% tip.-My birthday, I had my nephew join us and they were also petty about a donut he was finishing up. It’s a CHILD.-went recently and they were better (plus it wasn’t as busy) but bummed to find they don’t have labeled on their menu that dietary restrictions are an upcharge.Dietary restrictions: gluten free… they have it on their menu but they don’t have that it IS an up charge!“
“The best place around for a variety of great wines and amazing food at reasonable prices. The staff is top-notch and hustles nonstop. We are here 2+ times a week over the years and it doesn’t disappoint. Lots of regulars and the menu changes a bit seasonally so it’s always fresh and new.“
“Whenever my wife and I are planning a date night, whether it's just the two of us or we're bringing friends along, El 42 Cantina is at the top of our list. This place has never let us down, matching fantastic service with equally fantastic food every single time.Starting off with the appetizers, you can't go wrong. We always go for the nachos to share around the table, and they're a huge hit. Loaded up and perfect for getting everyone stuck in, they're the ideal way to kick off a meal here.Then, it's onto the tacos, which are out of this world. No matter which variety we've tried, each one has been a flavor-packed delight. It's pretty rare to find a spot where you look forward to every single item on the menu, but El 42 Cantina has nailed it.Honestly, I've never had a meal or even a moment here that wasn't top-notch. Everything about this place, from the vibes to the dishes, is just spot on. If you're on the lookout for a guaranteed good time with some seriously tasty food, El 42 Cantina should definitely be on your list. Highly recommend it!“
“Oh how I love you Nordys. We stop into the restaurant every time we are in the store and it’s always fantastic. Service. Atmosphere. Menu. All great! But the star of the show is the cocktails and food. Billionaire to drink (always) and whatever special soup and Entree they have. It’s a formula for success. Today I had the Salmon Oscar. So very good (as always). Love Eugene and Alicia at the bar!“
“Seriously, it's one of the best restaurants we've been to in Bellevue. Between the service, presentation, atmosphere, etc. and all the staff was amazing and personable.We even had someone from the front desk run down to the garage to make sure we got parking validated or to swipe us out. They have a good tipping/commissions sharing plan so I guess all the workers are well compensated and happy. All the food was amazing too. (We had the specials of halibut and sword fish). Also the drink we ordered was actually done so well.I just want to say, compared to other venues in the Bellevue area who charge similar prices, this one you get what you pay for. Great for special occasions I'd say. Plus they have deals for discounts on special events (birthdays & anniversaries you get I believe its $75 off if i remembered correctly). Also unlike other area steak houses that do charge similar prices - won't name the area Brazilian Steakhouse but I'm sure you'll recognize the name if you look it up in the city - they dont over crowd you. They actually have large tables with space between them so you're never squeezing past anyone.Expect to be billed $100+ a head minimum - we ordered two mains, a sharable, and a single cocktail (worth it). Although the main dishes were plenty. Also the garlic bread to start was so good! We hadn't even left yet and were figuring out when we can come back.Parking: They will reimburse your parking in the garage below or have a valet at the front door.“
“If the occasion calls for a lavish splurging on myself, this is another Mexican place I prefer to order from. I’ve particularly enjoyed their habanero sauce that I so shamelessly ask extra helpings of. The nachos that come as complimentary snack is usually good, but of late I smell the “ old oil” in the chips n it starts tasting weird.It would be better if they don’t offer the nachos, but I’ve particularly enjoyed their vegetarian enchiladas with gaps and half sauce. I love their very huge portion of burritos.Masa kitchen accepts orders on phone and since it’s just a few meters away, I call ahead in time to place my order and stroll down to pick up my order.The staff is great and I’ve never had to wait for my lunch to be put together. I love their food!“
“Very nice hotel. Great breakfast, nice pool area. Large lobby at check in with places to sit while you wait. Restaurant had good food if you don't want to go out looking for a place to eat. Nice outdoor patio area. Safe parking garage on site.“
“Conveniently ordered dinner online for pick up from Forge and it was simple and they were FAST! It's comparable cost wise to MOD (most pizzas are around $11) but it's a totally different style which is kind of nice for a change. The Mama P was by far the most delightful pizza I've had in awhile. The balsamic and the peppers just worked so well with the pepperoni. I had to build my own "Hawaiian" for my 4 year old but [Pro Tip] it would have been cheaper to order the Forge Luau and hold the Bacon, Jalapeño, and Teriyaki sauce. The Luau unaltered actually sounds amazing so I will definitely try that next time because there will be a next time!“
“Tonsorium Bar at The Lodge at St. Edwards is a culinary gem that fully deserves its five-star rating. The modern and chic ambiance sets the stage for an exceptional dining experience and the menu offers a diverse array of expertly crafted dishes that showcase their outstanding quality.The staff's professionalism and attentive service contributed significantly to our overall enjoyment. From personalized recommendations to accommodating special requests, their commitment to customer satisfaction was very evident. Additionally, the thoughtfully curated decor strikes a perfect balance, creating an inviting atmosphere for any occasion. We always make it a point to visit at Christmas as they are perfectly dressed up for the occasion. If you visit during the Holidays, make sure to visit the Great Hall and see all of the themed Christmas Trees!The Tonsorium Bar stands out not only for its delicious food but also for its extensive beverage selection. Creative cocktails and an extensive wine list enhance the overall dining experience and ensure that there is something for everyone in your group. Be sure to check out their HH menu. We ordered their delicious Wagyu burger, crispy seasoned fries, charred Brussels sprouts and some yummy ribs.What could be better? A memorable dining experience with top-notch cuisine, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere! Highly recommended for anyone seeking a culinary standout at The Lodge at St. Edwards. Looking forward to returning for more delightful moments. Susan Says...They'll whiskey you away!“
“Great place, my wife and I really loved it. It was our first time here and Michaela was an amazing server and a real sweetheart. The gumbo and cornbread was awesome, I don't know who's souther mama is working back in the kitchen, but kudos to her ?.“
“I must say….the Bar tender here, sorry didn’t catch his name but he has blond hair and super nice!! He’s a rockstar, amazing service and super friendly! The staff bringing our food out were also top notch super nice and helpful! I was just flat out impressed!! Can’t think of better words to say how great the staff here are!! The food was also fantastic!! Had the lobster and filet with the bacon Mac and Brussels! First, the steak was cooked to perfection, flavor was fabulous, I’ve been to amazing steakhouses that weren’t anywhere near this good. The lobster was amazing as well, cooked perfectly. The Brussels and Mac and cheese were very well done! Hats off to the chef, I was not expecting this amount of excellence when we walked in the door!! Not that I expected anything bad but I was blown away! Highly recommend this place!! Again, thank you to the awesome bar tender that I didn’t get a chance to tell how great he and everything was!! So….thank you again and hope to see you again when I’m back!!“
“Happened upon here on a bike ride and I don't know what took me so long! Who doesn't love tacos and to have so many different variations kicks it up a notch. I had the Glazed Shrimp taco - loved the flavors and crispiness of the shrimp, and it was the perfect size for me (for lunch). Pair that with chips and guac, and a mango margarita and it was a perfect afternoon (love the small patio outside which made it so our dog could hang out as well). Will totally make this a standard stop on our Sunday bike rides to try out other different tacos.“
“Splurge and get the Japanese wagyu beef skewers - you'll think you died and went to heaven. They melt in your mouth, succulent, perfectly grilled, they're well worth $18. The cocktails are strong, tasty, interesting, service is great, the restaurant is impeccably clean.....Parking: As evening goes on, parking fills up....Kid-friendliness: Not really a place for kids“
