New American Restaurants near Redmond, WA

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Three of us had lunch. The waitress was exceptional. The food was delicious also. We order apple salad made with romaine, and it was excellent. I would return and bring any of my guest with me. Thank you.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Absolutely amazing! Every bite was perfect.“

“Attended an event on 6/28 catered by Barking Frog. Their set-up is clean and professional looking (you WANT their food truck in your parking lot); their staff is courteous and friendly; they offered a diverse and interesting menu; and our plates were prepared quickly. Oh, the food... top notch! I had the turkey club, my daughter had the mac & cheese... both with their crispy, delicious french fries. AMAZING!“

“Recommend place 🥰 great Food“

“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.“

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

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

“Love it. I will go back and recommend“

“One of Bothell's great places to meet up with friends. Excellent food, drinks and service. Highly recommended.“

“Fun place but very very noisy ! Hard to hear. Food was excellent. I had their fall regular pot pie & arugula salad, excellent with hazelnuts. Pot pie was delicious but very black peppery! Also had ravioli…. Reportedly excellent.“

“Little known gem very worthwhile checking out. Super tasty menu items. Be sure to ask for a glass of their exclusive, custom-label Pancho Villa Cab (by Barrage Cellars).“

“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.“

“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.“

“Every time we come to visit my son up in WA we make time to come to Brian Carters Cellars where my son is a foundation member. Love the wines here and staff is so friendly.“

“Took my parents to dinner at DeLille Restaurant and all 4 of us had a great experience. For starters, the ambience is a cool mix of 'winery' and 'restaurant' and even though the space is large, is was surprisingly easy for the 4 of us to have a conversation without yelling! (Big win with older folks). The service staff was all outstanding and very engaging. The wine was (of course) excellent. The food....was divine!
We ordered several items and shared them all:
Brussel sprouts - we all agreed we would go back just based on those alone!
Caesar salads - perfect dressing
Steak Frites - maybe the best fries ever and the steak was delicious
Beef Tenderloin and Pork Tenderloin entrees- each had perfect sauce (are you seeing a trend? :-) and the accompanying sides were all great too.

100% recommend and we will definitely go back!“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“Was there with good friends this past weekend and the service and food was spectacular! Definitely stop in! Atmosphere is perfect! Will return soon. 👍“

“We had lunch at Cedar & Elm a few months ago and had a great experience. But Christmas lunch today was a major disappointment. The website said “choose from either our five-course tasting menu or our regular menu”. We arrived for our 1:30 reservation, were seated late and then told only the brunch menu was available. :(“

“How about this for a review - OH What good luck, I just ate the most magnificent duck. At Sparrows I darn near made a glutton and fool of myself. Roasted duck with a cherry port wine sauce. My, my, my a beautiful cherry surprise. A leg, thigh and breast accompanied with an Argintine red wine. Lord all mighty is in the most rewarding places. Sparrows is all up in my palate doing naughty things that taste so so so good. Enough said - get there. DLNewt“

“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.“

“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 -“

“Had to leave a review for the beyond-excellent service from our server today, Kimberley! From start to finish Kimberley was very enthusiastic and friendly, and answered all my questions about things on the menu. Along with some other dishes, we ordered a pasta that was perhaps not to our taste and K was very perceptive and noticed our dissatisfaction without us saying anything. We were already impressed with her and she went even beyond this and caught us as we were leaving to apologise for the dish. We're very very impressed and haven't seen this level of service in any restaurant in the PNW, and we've been eating from Tacoma to Vancouver! For this alone, we will be back! Thank you so much for looking after us!!“

“A complete wonderful experience on a Tuesday after 6:00 pm. There was ample parking available. We appreciated the menu options and added availability of gluten-free pasta, which were explained by the server. The chef did a great blend of spices with the foods. So, we opted for shareables with salads, which matched well with a 2021 Tempranillo from Yakima, WA. Service was excellent and the weather ideal for sitting outside.“

“We had an absolutely wonderful dining experience at Earl's in Bellevue! The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection—I highly recommend the Calamari and Wings. What really made the night special was our server, Saviah. She was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and anticipated our needs. Saviah was amazing! I ordered an Old Fashion with Big Rock ice, when it was brought back with the tiny ice, she immediately attempted to correct it. I didn't even realize it had the small ice, after I was sipping it and didn't mind it at all. The fact that she tried to correct it, made the difference. She offered to get me another drink for free, so I did but I asked her to charge me for it. It wasn't even a big deal to me but the fact that it was to her, gave me the impression that she is an exemplary employee.“

“Lunch at Nordstrom cafe was phenomenal. The staff was welcoming, space was clean and organized. I had lunch with husband and my two kids, we enjoyed what we ordered. Our server Murphy was friendly, attentive and answered all our questions. Thank you Nordstrom cafe for a wonderful celebration!“

“Had never been to Hearth before but went to a special Easter buffet event- awesome experience! The service was outstanding, price was reasonable, and food was great. Really nice atmosphere with outdoor seating with fire tables. There is a very convenient parking garage nearby, although it’s a little pricey.
Will definitely return again even though it’s a little bit of a drive for us.“

“Highly recommend the Nordstrom Grill's happy hour at Bellevue Square. They do a great hamburger with everything on it, and they have an excellent bartender who makes a good drink. My wife had an order of 4 delicious meatball in a sauce with crostini which she stated they were as good or if not better than any Italian restaurant in the area. Their fries are great as well, but today the machine was broken so they offered a very nice salad as a substitute. Great service, the waiter knew he was in the hospitality business. We'll go again soon. Nice wine and bubbly on the happy hour menu.“

“Great dinner at Lake House. Loved the appetizer options, the spiced carrots were surprisingly good. The steak wagyu were cooked perfectly, and the tiramisu was excellent. Only thing that threw me off was the automatic 20% gratuity, which felt steep. Food and service was great though.“

“great greeting, great Bartender, service, and food!“

“Angel and staff are friendly, attentive and professional! Our eating experiences have always been positive and delicious!“

“Hands down the best fun spot on the eastside. It's great for all ages! I've taken my 9 yr old niece there for Arcade games. I've gone there after 10 p.m for their 21+ nights. celebrated birthdays with groups. It's a perfect date spot as well. Watch a movie upstairs and then head over to Lucky for some food, dancing woth DJs, drinks, games. Their staff is always attentive and professional. love this spot. A 10/10 experience.“
