Party of 5 for dinner at 5:15. Several workers walked past us at the check in desk but didn't address us (two were actually AT the desk, not just walking by). We got seated, brought menus, etc. All seemed like it was going to be good. However, once we got our meals no one ever returned---not even to see if we wanted more water (which I did; finally flagged the wait person down and got warm water from the bottom of a pitcher). Food was either good or excellent. One person in our party ordered the salmon caesar. She would have liked to requested some more dressing, but no one ever returned. The cheeseburger was exceptional. Prices are about $8 more per dish than the link from the OpenTable site so most meals ranged from $19-$42, which did affect our choices.

Gah. The tavern used to be so much better. I don’t know what’s happened— maybe short staffed? Kinda pricey for the quality of food (it’s gone down since Covid), service was SLOOOWWW AF— took 1hr for 3 meals and it wasn’t crowded/super busy either. Waiter barely checked in on us too. We used to love this place but it’s gone downhill IMO. The environment is still lovely and a beautiful spot. Northshore lagoon restaurant is extremely slow too. Good food usually tho! Woodshop is the quickest but basic bar type food. Movie theater food is expensive for what you get.

Wow! Thank you very much for this miracle! Here is everything that can please a perfectionist: unique interior details, soft warm light and huge windows with a beautiful view, a unique kitchen. Everything is great! Special thanks for the salmon, it was perfect

The food here is pretty good. Probably the best food on the property. Good cocktail menu and their full selection of beers. Nice wrap around bar dimly lit, enjoyable patio seating with heat lamps and a fire pit. However the service always seems to be very slow. In particular the food always takes forever to come out.

We had the Anderson breakfast. The biscuits were really good and the bacon and eggs were fine; however, the cottage potatoes were not edible. They were totally burned. We did not have time to send them back as we had an appointment. They charge $5.50 for loose leaf tea. The total bill was almost $50. The waitress was friendly and nice. We will never be eating here again. We will go to our friendly coffee store for two lattes and a pastry.

We had been to the McMenamins in Tacoma. Because we had an early appointment in Bothell, we decided to skip the morning commute on the 405N and have a little getaway. We had a great room, lovely dinner and dessert, and a quick, lovely breakfast before our appointment.Parking: Though there is hotel parking separate from the restaurant options, we found it easier to park in the restaurant lot. Closer to the check-in desk and our dining and breakfast place. Free is great and safe.

I've been here several times for work and family events.Unfortunately my experience this weekend was different than others.Order was wrong (was given a burger when steak was ordered). Service was very slow (My party waited 1.5 hrs after placing our order).

Reserved for brunch and still had to wait to be seated despite a near empty restaurant. Service was timely but not attentive even though we were almost alone in the place. The (fried?) cottage potatoes were barely edible, but otherwise the eggs Benedict was well plepared and very good. Portion sizes were small for the exhorbitant cost. This place has spiraled down in quality recently and costs have gone way up, so we will probably not return.

We love coming here. Love their outdoor space where we can also chill with our pups. However I wish their heater would be a bit warmer. Their food was delicious. I had bagel with salmon, French toast and scrambled eggs. Oh and yummy mimosas!!!

Some of the best beer in PNW. Food is good, but expensive. Some of the best atmosphere in the area.

We had lunch here. I had a delicious (if a bit small) beet salad and my friend enjoyed a turkey sandwich. Although the place was rather busy, the service was great and quiet enough for easy coversation

The food taste good but the service took too long. I’m not sure where the kitchen is but our dessert took 40 minutes to get to our table. I don’t recommend this place at all.
