The Bistro at Hollywood Schoolhouse

Good food and atmosphere. However, we were not told there was a credit card processing fee, which we discovered on our receipt after we had left.

Enjoyable bistro! Outside seating wonderful and dog friendly!

Terrible service even with most of the tables empty. Passive aggressive service wouldn’t go back

One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Woodinville. Not only were the servers kind and extremely helpful but the food was absolutely exceptional. Our table shared the bacon wrapped dates and charcuterie and I got the short ribs.

It had a nice atmosphere and the food was delicious but the service completely ruined the experience.
Our waiter paid very little attention to us, though it was not particularly busy. We had a dirty water glass with a lipstick which is not the end of the world but took us several minutes to even wave down the server to ask for a new one. We had the lamb meatballs as a starter and while they tasted good, for almost $20 I would have hoped for more than 3 small meatballs.
Food took over an hour, the waiter did not check on us and when they finally brought the food and we were able to ask for more drinks, they forgot to put the order in. Our main courses were delicious and I really loved their chicken pot pie.
While in no means is any of this a big deal individually, when put together it really soured our experience here.

My friends and I visited the bistro at the Hollywood Schoolhouse on Saturday, and it was such a wonderful experience! Our group tried a mix of red and white wines, and we truly enjoyed everything. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. I also have to give a special thank you to Baruc Barahona, the Front of House Manager. I accidentally left my purse behind, and he went out of his way (on his day off) to meet me at the restaurant the next day so I could get it back. That level of care and kindness meant so much. I will definitely be coming back!

It is a neighborhood gem. We love their beignets (unadvertised special) which is way better than the ones at the nearby fancy restaurant. The service is really friendly. The downside is sometimes their special is sold out before the weekend.

We came in at peak time on a Friday night and no tables were available. We were able to get a seat at the bar right in front of the kitchen which after being seated is undeniably the best seat in the house. We got to watch the chef craft the meals, had great conversation and service was unmatched. The only issue we had was deciding what to eat because everything on the menu looked amazing. We started with the bacon wrapped dates with goat cheese and the escargot. Both were amazing but the goat cheese “sauce” was the star here and was later applied to everything else served because it was so good. The chef was kind enough to give us a “snack” between courses of crostini and the boar ragout sauce. Absolutely phenomenal. Next for the mains we had the Paella and the Shortribs with butternut squash risotto. The prawns in the paella were cooked better than I have ever experienced and the risotto was amazing paired with the tender fall apart short ribs. I didn’t think I wanted dessert but I accepted a glance at the dessert menu and yet again found myself in a conundrum of wanting everything. We decided to have the bread pudding in house and get the beignets to go to enjoy with coffee the next morning. Can 100% say that everything was a hit and we will be back soon to try more things on the menu. Thank you to everyone at The Bistro for a great impromptu date night!
