“Fantastic food, vibes and service. Moored here in our boat and looked forward to going there each day. Thanks“

“Everything I’ve had here is so good! Feature items are always thoughtful and delicious. A regular menu go to is the twice baked potato, which is always so good. This weekend she featured a crab roll, which is one of the best I’ve ever had service is friendly and personal, and the environment is very cozy and welcoming.“

“I had such a great experience at JOEY Southcenter due to our lovely server McKenna. She was patient although I am extremely indecisive and she helped me make some great choices!“

“Another fabulous dinner with Chef Frank and the team and dessert with Sophia!!! It doesn’t get any better anywhere than at the 909!!! The food is top notch and fantastic!!! Frank and the team are so spectacular!!! The ambience is so wonderful!!! And Michelle - my lemon drop connoisseur - says Sophia makes the best lemon drop of anywhere she’s ever been!!! THANKS for the great dinner tonight!!!“

“Nice people’s and great place for have fun 😎“

“Princess and Bear has quickly become one of my favorite places in Seattle. The owners are amazing, the events (like trivia) are a ton of fun, and the wine is UNDENIABLY the best you can get outside France. I signed up for their wine club after one glass. It’s hard to believe such a classy and gorgeous tasting room exists in this business park, but I promise you, it’s a hidden gem. And, it’s kid friendly!!“

“Excellent food and service“

“Delicious! Little drafty and close quarters. Loud party in the in closed porch and the bartender was uber busy. With that being said, he was excited about the food, friendly, and delightful to deal with. Once the food came, I was blown away by the flavor. Fried brussel sprouts were so good my coworkers and I were laughingly fighting over who got to finish them. Everyone loved their meals. I had the Lamb Ragu (no cheese and it didn't suffer for the lack of it) and it was so good I'm afraid I'm going to be chasing to find a red sauce that good again. Can't say much about the drinks since I only had a perfectly traditional hot toddy but I would definitely try more. Absolutely recommend this and apparently it's side by restaurant 909. I might recommend calling ahead for a reservation there. Even on a Tuesday night this place had a well deserved full house.“

“The owners are the best. Good service and great food.“

“Delicious brisket pho for lunch today! Server was nice and service was great!“

“Visiting friends in Seattle, we were suggested in visiting Vashoon island and it's cool spots and this is definitely one of them.

After exploring the island a bit, we wanted to grab something to eat and stop at this cool shop. You will encounter essentially two eateries in one commercial spot but it's great that they each work together to make entertaining each other's store simply by walking through a walkway between them.

As far as food options it won't be extensive but it does have some great, unique options. I tried their chicken with teriyaki sauce plate and boy was it good. They also have great local alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks available, some bottled, canned or even on tap. Seating can be tricky especially during peak hours or seasons so plan accordingly and just be patient. If you're waiting, just take a step outside and walk into some of the great independent shops next door or across the street. Parking may also be a challenge so read signs carefully to avoid getting a ticket or towed.

Overall, a great spot to grab a drink and a quick bite to eat mid day to break up your adventures on Vashoon.“

“Drumroll Wine is such a lovely addition to downtown Renton! With a great location, great space & atmosphere, great wines, & a great staff - - it truly is a great meet up location! I really enjoy their special events, too! Highly recommend!“

“Positives!
-Lots of seating, including a light-filled front room, a nice and shady backroom, and a patio.
-Nice bathroom
-Good tasting coffee (had drip and a cortado)
-$.92 refills on 12-16 ounce drip coffee.

Less Positive:
-Lots of flies, including inside the pastry case.
-Awkward layout in the front room leads to constant traffic jams in the narrow spaces on either side of the coffee bar. The precariousness of these narrow spaces is exacerbated by walls of glass (wine bottles on one side, glassware on the other).
-Only one bathroom can cause long waits.“

“Intimate and nice music, good wine too of course.“

“Great coffee. Friendly service“

“This place has authentic Italian and pizza. We had tortellini with pesto sauce and seafood risotto and both were amazing. Dessert was orange dreamsicle cheesecake and it was melt in your mouth delicious. Pizza was better than any other pizza we've had. It was a little loud with all the people chatting and kind of hard to hear but the place is beautiful with a view of the bay. Can't wait to go back.“

“We've seen this wine shop on our visits to Tacoma but never really had a reason to stop in since our focus when we're in town is family and other events. However this weekend we were unexpectedly invited to a friend's house so we stopped by to pick up bottle of wine. What we found was a lively neighborhood wine bar and bottle shop. There were about 6+ people in the shop having a glass of wine, visiting and relaxing. The shop had a nice representation of wine from many different regions. We're partial to Italian and Spanish wines and were pleasantly surprised to see a nice selection of Brunellos, Rosso de Montelcino, Borrolo and Whites including Vermentino. The proprietors were knowledgeable and helpful. If we lived closer I could see ourselves dropping in occasionally to relax with a glass of wine or popping in for one of their tasting.“

“Absolutely FANTASTIC food and the service is top notch! Our server Veronica was FABULOUS and David the bartender made my daughter the fanciest mock tail! Treat yourself and enjoy the experience!“

“Delicious, gracious and you will even learn some Italian!“

“Delicious food, great happy hour and such a nice server“
