“My friends and I went to Shinya Shokudo today and has the best time ever! Crystal our server was absolutely amazing and was very sweet! We had a million questions and every single time she was willing to answer. Our food was always very on time and even when splitting up the check she dealt with our request with no issue! 10/10 would recommend!“

“Excellent service from Elizabeth! She was so friendly and attentive! I ordered brisket with mac & cheese and potato salad and my friend ordered the bacon & blues burger with a brisket add on and talk about mouth watering! We also ordered the fried pickle jar and highly recommend that appetizer! We saved our leftovers for the next day and it went just as hard! Amazing hospitality from this establishment and the vibe was so country it felt like we were back home in Texas! Don’t skip out on the banana pudding and a big thank you to management and the cooks who help keep the place running smooth!“

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

“We are from out of town and were looking for a little spot to grab a Bloody Mary before we start a long day of baseball. We stumbled this place and glad we did. Great service from Jacob, excellent Bloody Mary and delish hot puffs 🤤 We will definitely be back when we are in the area again!“

“a fun speakeasy style atmosphere with great service, amazing drinks and good food.“

“This is more like a fancy bar with food, they have a huge list of liquor to choose from. We came here for dinner and the food was very good. It's a little bit on the pricier side but priced well for the quality.

We had a number of appetizers including salads, truffle fries, oysters, and steamed clams. The salads were excellent, the truffle fries were good, and the seafood was very good and fresh.

I ordered the black cod for my entree and it was cooked just right (not overcooked), with excellent flavor. Although the food was not Michelin star quality, it's a good solid four stars for food quality, and surprisingly good for this type of venue.

The service was great, the waitress was very friendly and came around often enough so that we never had to go looking for her. We had a people for dinner and they put us in a back room where it was private and quiet, very nice.

This is a great venue for a business dinner, but probably not the best for young kids given the liquor theme.“

“Food was amazing highly recommend“

“Well worth exploring their whole menu. Light, bright, and refreshing. Literally drank mine so quickly that I forgot to take a photo! 😆 I will definitely be coming back, and can't recommend them enough. Quite a hidden gem (on the 2nd floor of Lincoln Square South).“

“If you’re near Woodenville, Washington definitely make plans to stop at McMenamins Anderson School in Bothel, Washington. It’s a former school tranformed into a unique Hotel Complex. There’s a movie theater, swimming pool, tiki lounge, restaurant, sports bar (the woodshed), a whisky shed and gift shop. Elanha was the hostess for the Woodshed and she spoiled us from the time we arrive until we left. Her Customer Service was Outstanding!! An Amazing, Fun Stay!!! You Won’t be Disappointed!! The Anderson School Location is also near Wine Tasting Country:) Have Fun!!“

“A Luxe Espresso Martini at an Unbeatable Price

I had the pleasure of indulging in an exquisite Espresso Martini during happy hour at Bellevue Square Nordstrom, where all signature cocktails are just $10—a steal for the quality and experience offered.

This martini was a masterpiece, marrying the rich, bold flavors of freshly brewed espresso with the smooth sophistication of premium vodka. The touch of coffee liqueur added a subtle sweetness and depth, while the frothy crema crowned with three iconic espresso beans made for a stunning presentation.

Each sip was a balance of indulgent creaminess and refreshing chill, delivering a luxurious cocktail experience at a fraction of the price you’d expect for such craftsmanship. The happy hour pricing made this already impressive drink even more satisfying, transforming a quick stop into a highlight of the evening.

At just $10, the Espresso Martini at Bellevue Square Nordstrom is not only a delightful treat but an incredible value—perfect for winding down a shopping day or kicking off an elegant night out.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Best Thai food I’ve ever had outside of…Thailand! Fresh, bold flavor combinations are a wonderful mix of traditional and modern. Huge menu and absolutely outstanding staff. Very accommodating for allergies. Energetic atmosphere, high ceilings and a very cool vibe. Highly recommend!“

“We love it and loved the food“

“Great food great service great atmosphere 👌“

“Great spot to hang out with amazing cocktails! Most friendly and talented barkeep making exquisite concoctions such as the clarified passion punch 🤤 We ordered lunch from next door restaurant Von 1000’s and our barkeep came to check on us and offered utensils in case they weren’t included. So very thoughtful service! The establishment is super pup friendly too! My dog enjoyed an amazing pup cup 🐾 plus a large bowl of water was brought out as soon as we had our water as well. Can’t wait to return to try out more amazing cocktails!“

“los tacos de xicama están delicioso“

“Beautiful and refreshing lunch meal today at Bakes Place. The servers are helpful and kind. Chelsea, in particular, goes above and beyond, making guests feel taken care of. I really recommend the food, and the restaurant's space is ample and well-lit, with a stage, making it an excellent location for hosting meetings with a speaker, such as the Bellevue Rotary Club.“

“Went to the soft launch tonight and honestly have no critiques food was so delicious and the drinks too! Friendly service an amazing atmosphere 12 out of 10 recommend“

“Reasonable prices. Service and food are excellent. Been there twice with the same server, Linda, who is excellent. Food comes out fast, too!“

“Love it. I will go back and recommend“

“Went here and the service was excellent. Walked in and loved the dark n moody vibe. You can hear conversations and not loud. Elijah the guy with the beard and bartender did amazing service. Ordered old fashion cocktails and it was great. Would come back!“

“I absolutely love this place. It is one of my go-to spots in Bothell for consistent quality and service. The food and drinks are excellent. I have been there at every hour of the day and highly recommend all of their menus.“

“My favorite restaurant! We love The Coalman, the food is fantastic, the people are great and the ambience is amazing. If you're looking for somewhere that offers food on another level, an excellent wine selection (they even have a wine club) and just a great place to be, this is it. Best of all, it's reasonably priced!“

“This used to be a excellent beer bar serving amazing beer with mediocre food. Then it changed owners and they started serving solid sushi and still serving amazing beer. They changed chefs earlier this year and they are one of the best sushi restaurants who happens to serve amazing beer. They do sell out of specialty dishes (e g., Ankimo: monkfish liver pate) which is how it should be for delicasies.“

“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.“

“Our server, Freya, was outstanding. We will ask for her again.“

“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“

“Haven’t tried it but it’s right across and it looks good. Testing the review feature“

“I have only been here two times as I moved to the area right before the government stole the freedom of Americans to move about freely... that being said, this visit - IN PERSON - was excellent! Matt, the bartender answered several questions and made a couple suggestions. I went with one of them (Carnitas and Scratch Margarita) and was pleasantly impressed with both! The crowd was fun, the staff was doing an excellent job (having been in the industry for 24 years myself) taking care of the business and caring for the clients. Thank you and I WILL be back again!“

“Headed down during a blue grass jam session, place was packed. It was freezing cold outside so I had a Hot Toddy and it was absolutely perfect. Great vibe, great people. Lots of families. I did not eat anything, but next time I will check out their food. I heard they have a farm to table restaurant moving in which would be awesome! If I had my choice, I would have Carolina Smoke BBQ come in and make it the blues capital of the eastside, but let's see what they come up with. HIGHLY recommended.“

“Been here many times, always fun !!!“

“Service was quick, friendly and professional. Waited at the bar while the food I ordered to take back to my room was prepared. The bartender was great! Chatted with me while I waited. Food was delicious! Highly recommend the caesar salad and mushroom fettuccine.“

“Visited on my own for happy hour to sample the views and have a cocktail. Sat at the bar and had a few cocktails. The bar staff made me feel very welcome. Great selection of whiskey, rum and everything else. I'm sure the food is great as well, perhaps next time!“

“Our new go to place. Fantastic pies savory or sweet (the crust is homemade /!; just so flakey) and the wine is yummy too. It’s nice to be able to choice wine, beer or spirits.“

“This is not a restaurant. It’s actually bar service within Residence Inn hotel where you can order food, mainly salads and burgers, and drinks from the bar (pictured below).Christina is the main hostess at the bar. Very nice and friendly lady.If you ring the number for this place from Google Maps, it’s actually going to go to the front desk for Residence Inn. Tell them to transfer you to the Rivue Bar and Grill.You will find the menu in Google maps photos for this place so you can just order on the phone. They don’t deliver to the hotel rooms so you just have to go down and get it.I would recommend their signature Rivue burger - comes with fries (pictured below).It is surprisingly very good for bar service food at a hotel and will do the trick for an evening where you don’t feel like getting out - since there’s nothing really walking distance around this hotel unless you have a car.“

“I recently dined at Cantina Monarca, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional, thanks to Maria. From the moment I walked in, she made me feel welcome with her warm smile and attentive service. She was knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations that perfectly suited my tastes.

Throughout the meal, Maria ensured everything was perfect—checking in at just the right moments without being intrusive. Her professionalism and friendly demeanor truly elevated the experience. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated to making guests feel valued, and Maria does it effortlessly.

If you’re visiting Cantina Monarca, I highly recommend asking for Maria—she’ll make sure you have an outstanding dining experience!“

“Celebrated my wife's birthday with family. We chose the tasting menu with wine pairings and were absolutely delighted. We really appreciated the chef coming out to introduce each course and our server described the wines perfectly. Everyone came away warm and extremely happy. Truly a happy birthday! Thanks“

“Great service and very good food. Lovely outdoor patio.“

“Love Chris! Love cranking’ music while I’m here and I love the vibe! And big ups for proudly displaying the American Flag on the wall! One of my Homes away from Home! 🇺🇸🇺🇸“
