“Bring back the apples! I miss them apples!!!!“

“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!“

“Frank's is my favorite place in town to get oysters on the half-shell. The vibe is warm, relaxed, and welcoming. The bread with ash butter and sea salt is a favorite. The oysters are fresh, plump, and succulent. The champagne mignonette is flavorful and delicate so as not to outdo the oysters. We tried a seasonal dessert: nectarine, rose, and pistachio pavlova. Everything is delicious. Finally, the service is impeccable. We always feel special when we are here and we can't wait to visit again soon!“

“Love the food and wait staff! Love the total experience!!! Brunch menu is delicious! Thank you my friend Patricia Corr!💙“

“We had such a great night at Joey, and a huge part of that was thanks to our waiter, Miranda. Her energy was amazing from the moment she greeted us—so warm, friendly, and genuinely upbeat. She was attentive without hovering, always smiling, and made us feel truly welcomed and taken care of throughout the evening. Her service and positive attitude honestly elevated the entire experience. Miranda turned a good dinner into a memorable night. Thank you!“

“Excellent food and service“

“My wife and I have come here for the drinks and occasionally truffle pommes frites or some oysters, but this time we tried some of the other menu items for dinner. My wife got the Halibut (Chapter 6) and I got the Mushroom Pasta dish. (Chapter 5)

I asked Casey if he recommended the mushroom dish and he said it was one of his favorites. I'm not a foodie, so I don't get overly excited over food but let me tell you... It was so good that it prompted me to write a review about it. I actually felt an endorphin rush from eating it! My wife loved the halibut, (which I also tried) and I would say getting her to eat fish is usually a challenge unless her fisherman father prepares it!

I would recommend a Manhattan or Old Fashioned, which Casey also pointed me towards some new Rye to try. Fantastic as always!

I had placed an order for oysters but apparently they were forgotten, but I was so enamored with the mushroom dish that I didn't even care. Casey offered them to me on the house as he felt bad, which was a very nice gesture. I wasn't upset at all!

Now we would like to try all the other dishes, because if both meals were that good, how can they miss with anything else?

I didn't take photos of the food because I inhaled it :)

Thanks Casey and the rest of the staff for great service and amazing food/drinks!“

“Made a reservation with Nick on the phone for 8 gals as part of a social club meet-up—he went above and beyond with a friendly demeanor to set us up in the private room. When a 9th person showed up (by my own error) the staff was more than accommodating. Nick also served us—seriously, what a nice owner! He and his staff took amazing care of us. Food was really good too! The half charcuterie was really nice portion for 1 and the hand cut fries were a tasty share. I also enjoyed the blackbean burger, though it’s a little messy, it tasted great. Nick also made some of us an off-menu mint lemonade ginger beer mocktail that was summery and refreshing. The atmosphere was busy and cheerful—will be visiting again!“

“Great food“

“visited the Eve of April 2, 2021: Our server was delightful she was warm and offered suggestive drink psirings that were spot on for what we were looking for to compliment our food. The food was absolutely delicious, and the environment very inviting. The whole evening was a lovely experience. I will definitely be back.“

“Absolutely amazing! Every bite was perfect.“

“We went for date night and ended up having the best time. The live music felt like our own private concert, the food was delicious, and the cocktails were so good we kept finding excuses to order another. The whole place is gorgeous and full of great energy. The service was perfect. My husband and I left smiling and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend.“

“Recommend place 🥰 great Food“

“Place is fun. Good atmosphere, Great Vibes. Definitely a place you have to check out whether you’re a local or just visiting.“

“The food is straight-up fantastic — the kind of comfort fare that ruins all other burgers for you. Their rotating beer selection is always on point: fresh, hop-forward IPAs that slap hard every single time. The staff are a bunch of cool characters who make every visit feel like hanging with friends. Zero pretension, maximum good vibes. Sunset is a gem. If you’re local and not coming here, fix your life. I’ll be at the bar pretending I’m only having one more.“

“Excellent staff, excellent menu and food preparation. Bobby has kept some of the staple menu items but offered a different flare that really make them stand out. And check out Bar&Moore next door, great ambiance and flair for before or after dinner.“

“Great service and great food!“

“May be one of my favorite places on Microsoft campus. Had great share platters and nice drinks. I recommend their creamsicle mocktail. Was very well suited for a low maintenance but well run happy hour/team event. Very helpful and accommodating staff.“

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

“Amazing bartenders and drinks!“

“We went for the first time today and had excellent customer service! The food was amazing. We will be back :)“

“Delicious and fresh food. Great wait staff too. Highly recommend it!“

“Lunch at Mox Bellevue today—and what a surprise. I wasn’t there to game, just catching up with friends passing through. But the space? Total standout. Art Deco vibes, cozy booths, and a game store that feels more like a boutique hotel lounge. I had the Golden Curry & Tofu—Japanese-style curry over rice with potatoes, carrots, tofu, and pickled vegetables. Warm, flavorful, and exactly what I was in the mood for. My friends ordered the Sausage & Pepper Rotini and left just as happy. The only curveball? No mocktails listed on the menu. When I asked, our server looked a little unsure but offered to make a virgin Momotaro with ginger, peach, mint, lemon, and ginger beer. It was fantastic—definitely worth ordering again. Still, a mocktail section on the menu wouldn’t hurt. After lunch I wandered through the shop and ended up picking out a couple of games for our next game night. Couldn’t resist. All in all, a great lunch, great space, and a solid reminder to check out places that mix things up. Overall fun spot. So happy we found this place. Would happily return. Friendly staff, tasty food, stylish space.“

“Great food and friendly staff!“

“This restaurant is for the rebels, the rockers, the rule-breakers hankering to order illegal cheese. People who are aren’t afraid of BUTTER, FAT, RICH goodness. No white tablecloths or fussy service will be found here. You are here to eat. And the food is great.“

“I requested a special dish that was not on the menu and she hooked me up💪🏾. I even left my wallet and she stayed late for me to come back and get it. I love this place“

“Highly recommend Fork & Spoke! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service was prompt and the food was top notch! They had a specialty cocktail called “Garden Party” that was out of this world! The staff were very friendly and attentive. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Delicious, healthy choices. You can dine in or take it to go. Great alternative to other fast food places!“

“In.gredients is a standout dining destination tucked inside the Microsoft campus in Redmond, offering a thoughtfully crafted three-course lunch that rotates its menu every few weeks. I like the fresh, seasonal ingredients and creative dishes that feel both elevated and approachable. The ambiance strikes a nice balance between casual and upscale, perfect for business lunches or a special mid-day treat, and the service is friendly and attentive.

One of the biggest draws is the value, $20–$25 per person you get appetizer, entrée, and dessert that often exceed expectations for the price, with standout items like seared scallops, wagyu meatballs, and panna cotta, etc. The space is modern and inviting, and the rotating menu keeps the experience fresh so you can try something new on return visits.

Since the menu changes often and the lunch service is popular, reservations are recommended to secure a table.

Overall, In.gredients delivers fresh, flavorful food with excellent value and a pleasant atmosphere, making it a hidden gem for Microsoft employees and guests alike.“

“Award winning staff that never forgets anything to make your stay pleasurable.“

“We went to Copperleaf to celebrate my husband's birthday. Everything was perfect. He enjoyed the duck and I loved the sablefish. The sauce was amazing and the fish melted in my mouth. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. We will definitely be back. A neighborhood gem.“

“Well and Table was the first restaurant where I could eat because I have Celiac Disease. My favorite foods are burger, fries, turkey wings, cobbler, and root beer float. Well and Table is the best place. Heston, Age 6“

“Outstanding service! Our team's favorite spot to enjoy an offsite lunch - the entire team at 520 delights, dazzles and create a world class hospitality experience. Cheers, Peter Beeson, Coldstream“

“This was located in the Hilton Garden Inn where me and my wife were staying. The bartender was very helpful and makes a great old fashioned! She was knowledgeable of the city and provided some suggestions on places to go during our stay. I did not have any food but they did have a variety of options. There is indoor and outdoor seating as well.“

“l love the overall design of the space it feels modern and well put together. The flatbread was delicious, and the beef was very tender and highly recommended. The cocktails were also nice, slightly sweet and tangy, and very easy to drink. The service was excellent, but parking can be quite difficult to find, which is the only downside.Overall, it has a great vibe and is perfect for a weekend date or hanging out with friends. I’d definitely come back.“

“I love this place!! Great food, Great service, and Great atmosphere! :) Daily specials with a vast variety of menu items and catering options. Plus, gluten free options as well (which I truly appreciate). Must try one of their many yummy smoothies-They customize the 'lean and green' for me and add coconut water, it is my personal favorite! ;)“

“Don't miss this amazing session John Studamire Micheal Miller Greg Fields and Miz Floes bringing you a jazzy Sol session with special guest Miss Naomi Watson“

“Not a glum lot show up regardless n once openness n willingness to change arrive in self the skeletons of your past will become the forefront of your army working on 15 years thank you for being there“

“This is not a typical Courtyard Bistro, they have a full restaurant. Staff was amazing, Savannah and Patrick. I ate here 3 times during my stay, everything was great. Calamari, Burger, Steak, Quesadilla. Great selection of local beers and spirits, overall a very nice bar selection for a Courtyard. Was not expecting that.
I also spoke with the manager to compliment him on the staff and food. I am hoping my job sends me back here in the future.
Oh and breakfast was also a good value and good food.“

“This is a lovely department-store dining experience. We held our book club meeting here. Staff was accommodating; attentive, but not intrusive. Noise level was perfect for an intimate discussion, despite the restaurant being active. Would recommend on all levels“

“On the water. Fantastic food“

“All our food (party of 5, appetizers/entrees/drinks) was delicious. Server was very friendly and genuinely knowledgeable about the menu/able to provide clarity and solid recommendations. He was also very attentive to the table. Steak was cooked to the correct temperature and mashed potatoes were seasoned well. Wish that we could have tried the desserts but the entree portions were very generous so I chalk it up to a skill issue on our part.

Definitely on the pricier end, but given the quality of the food and service it doesn't feel bad having to pay it. 🌻
Where we were seated was tucked away and not very open or well-lit, but I was there to eat and not birdwatch so ultimately a non-issue.“

“Note that this place is inside the Marriott hotel. We had the Valentine's Day special. 3 course meal with wine pairing is what was advertised. Once seated at our reserved table, the server asked if they could get us a drink. I had to remind them that we had the special. A sparkling rosé was brought to the table. No explanation or info provided about the wine. Salad followed promptly. The main course came out with its wine pairing. Again no description of the food or wine was given. We were not asked how we would like our steaks cooked, luckily the chef knew what they were doing. Food was prepared perfectly with great flavors. Dessert was next. When I asked for the wine that was to be served with dessert, I was told that the wine pairing was only for the main course. I inquired as to why we were given the rosé with our salad since I didn't order it. The server checked with the manager and confirmed that it was only for the main course and the rosé was just a Valentine's Day “treat”. The server ended up bringing 2 more glasses of rosé on the house. Food was good enough for the price to go back. Dress up or down -“

“A local Seattle friend took us to a seafood restaurant, and the grilled lobster was indeed a masterpiece, Q-bouncing as if it were fighting with my teeth ...... Steak grilled octopus fried squid clam chowder are all this 👍🏻 and the final dessert of caramelised bread pudding was amazing! The meal cost nearly $650 plus a $100 tip, so it was worth it, haha!😁😋😋I'll be back next time.“

“Just went there today with my Boyfriend. Was very impressed by the great service and plenty of delicious vegan/vegetarian options! Definitely going back there as soon as possible! :)“

“Absolutely amazing food & mimosas! Definitely 5 star service!“

“Chicken fried steak is second to none. Friendly service and comfortable atmosphere.“

“I recently had the chance to stop by RBG Bar & Grill, aka Bow Lake Provisions, and overall, it was a really enjoyable experience with a few small things that stood out.

From the moment you arrive, the place has a welcoming, laid-back vibe that feels both local and thoughtfully curated. It’s the kind of spot that seems to balance comfort food with a slightly elevated twist, and that definitely shows in the menu.

One of the highlights of my visit was the Homesteader’s Porridge. It was honestly done just right—warm, hearty, and comforting without being overly sweet or heavy. The flavors were well-balanced and subtle, which made it easy to enjoy every bite without feeling overwhelmed. It’s the kind of dish that feels nourishing and intentional rather than overly indulgent.

I also tried Mabel’s Famous Biscuit with ham, egg, and cheese, and this is where things got especially interesting. The combination itself was fantastic—the savory ham, fluffy egg, and melted cheese all came together beautifully. The biscuit, in particular, was incredibly buttery and soft, creating that classic, satisfying texture you’d expect. What really surprised me, though, was the addition of orange peel jam. It added a bright, slightly citrusy contrast that elevated the entire sandwich and made it more memorable than your typical breakfast biscuit.

That said, the biscuit did lean a bit too far on the buttery side. While that richness adds to the flavor, it also made the experience slightly messy—especially when opening the wrapping, where the grease was noticeably heavy. Toning that down just a touch would make an already great item even better.

Overall, Bow Lake Provisions delivers a solid and enjoyable dining experience. The food feels thoughtfully prepared, with creative touches that keep things interesting while still staying true to comforting, familiar flavors. Despite the slight issue with the overly buttery biscuit, everything else hit the mark, and it’s definitely a place worth visiting if you’re in the area.“

“We ate here recently and had mixed feelings after reading the reviews and it being a motel restaurant. My wife and I were greeted by our server and seated quickly. We had an entree, cocktail and dessert each. The service was outstanding and the food was excellent! I’m not sure about the reviews I read being accurate, but my experience was great. Thanks to the restaurant for starting our vacation out properly. I would absolutely recommend this place.“

“Had an overnight stay at the Hotel for business. Didn’t want to go out just something simple but good. The classic burger did not disappoint. Cooked exactly as I asked. Super juicy and fresh toppings. Fries were the seasoned kind. Just crispy enough but not too much. The menu has lighter foods and more upscale if that is your craving. Service was friendly and food came out in a very reasonable amount of time.“
