Beautiful restaurant and club. The acoustics are incredible. The service is impeccable. And the food was high-quality, thoughtfully prepared. read more

We came specifically to see Caety Sagoian perform, and she absolutely delivered as always! We've only ever seen her acoustic sets before, so getting to see her with a full band including an amazing saxophone was such a treat. The energy was there, and it was no surprise the place was packed. Even with a full house, the service was on point. We were checked on several times throughout the night and everything came out quickly. Big props to the staff for keeping things running smoothly even during a busy show. There's a $30 food & beverage minimum per person for live performances, which we expected. We ordered: * 2x Ahi Tuna with taro crisps * Kobe Sliders * Sake-Braised Pork Belly over Fried Rice The Kobe sliders were the standout for me. The pork belly was nicely done, tender and flavorful, but the fried rice underneath didn't quite hit the mark. It was a bit hard and dry, possibly from being kept warm too long or maybe it was just the type of rice used (brown or oven-baked?). I would've preferred it with plain steamed white rice to better complement the rich pork belly. The ambiance, live music, and service make this a really special spot. Next time, I'd love to try more items on the menu and definitely catch another live set. read more

Bake's Place is a hidden gem in Bellevue with a modern upscale atmosphere & the added convenience of free, direct access indoor parking. Makes it easy on the heels. We were there on Valentine's Day and enjoyed a fun, engaging & upbeat performance by the Innocent Men, a Billy Joel tribute band. The host seated us at a table right in front of the stage. We were concerned it would be too loud so they kindly offered us a table further back. The host explained that the speakers were in the ceiling so we kept our front row table. It was great! the sound was perfectly balanced and not too loud. The menu had a lot of variety we decided on the goat cheese gnocchi appetizer, which was very flavorful. The beef short rib entree was tender and the black garlic polenta was delicious. The chicken piallard dish was bursting with flavor. I loved the variety of different vegetables parsnips, apples, carrots & fennel that were in the dish. Each dish was plated beautifully with generous portions. The staff were knowledgeable, friendly, attentive without interrupting the show. We had a wonderful evening and will be definitely be back for another performance. read more

Went here for a team celebration and enjoyed their delicious drink menu...I recommend Pina colada and "hold the phone"... kind of like a sweet mulled wine, but made with sugar rum. We ordered several small plates- flat bread, fries, Brussel sprouts, and the wild mushroom Aracini... which was my favorite! You walk into the lobby of the building on the corner then walk down until the restaurant. They have a decent size indoor space and room for the band, but the outdoor space is even bigger! We had such a great time and will be back again read more

I recently went to Bake's Place for a night out with girlfriends and had a great experience. We had made dinner reservations and were seated right away. We were given the option to sit inside or outside and chose to sit outside. The outside eating area is huge, with string lights and heaters to keep warm. We were seated at a table right by the doors leading back into the restaurant, so it was fun to catch a bit of the sound check going on inside on the stage (there would be live music that evening). Our server was great. He offered several great recommendations for cocktails and wine. He was attentive and patient as we took our time deciding on food. Our water glasses were never empty, as someone came by frequently to give us refills. The food was delicious. We shared several appetizers, including truffle fries, heirloom tomato salad, and coconut shrimp. I ordered the Chimichurri Top Sirloin for my main meal, which was flavorful and perfectly cooked. This place has great vibes for date nights or nights out with friends. read more

We attended a clients event here on a Monday when it is normally closed. The capacity of this bar and bistro is excellent. Flexible seating on the central indoor space accommodates fixed seating and cocktail tables, which are later removed for a dancing space. More seats are above the main space; the outside is huge and covered, with and without heat lamps. A stage and sound systems are ready for a DJ or a live band. We sat just beyond the indoor space at the whiskey bar, with the TV in front of us. As we ate, we cheered on the Seahawks wiping the floor with the NY Giants. Given this is an event, the food is buffet style. Most items are surprisingly good. They offered an excellent spread of veggies with hummus, pasta salad, spanakopita, coconut shrimps, crab cakes, vegetable spring rolls, pizza, chicken skewers, wagyu burger sliders, and marinara meatballs. The standouts were the wagyu burger sliders, the chicken skewers, and the coconut shrimps. The event was very well staffed. Staff members regularly swooped in to collect used plates. New foods were brought out to refill the chafing dishes expeditiously. There was a very long line for food, but the line moved very smoothly. Service wise, bravo! Even though this wasn't a normal restaurant visit, I see the potential in this restaurant and event space. I hope more businesses can take advantage of what Bake's Place can offer. read more

Have been a long time customer. of Bakes Place but probably will not return. Appetizers are creative and delicious but entrees were very disappointing. Barbecue pork chop was drenched in a sauce that tasted like bottled hoisin sauce. This made the bed of vegetables it sat on saturated and unpleasant. Did not enjoy the chicken paillard as well. Bery disappointing, especially for the money charged. read more

My date was amazing he spoiled me on my Birthday! Food was super delish! Service was even better. He made sure we were taken care off. The bar tender came to us to make sure the drinks were flowing. He even made me a Horchata Birthday drink that was sooo good! Ambience was fun. They had a live band playing and that made the vibe pretty chill. A little loud for obvious reasons but nevertheless fun. I would come back to this place and highly recommended. read more

Food a bit overpriced for what you got, and the bartender literally gave me a vodka tonic that was completely flat. The place has a general good idea for a venue and staff was friendly, but execution needs to really up their game. Looking on the Google reviews from the owner of the establishment and his attacks on negative reviews, I don't see this place improving. If I'm going out for a drink, it better be spot on. read more

Ok so this is our new favorite date night! Wow ... words can't explain. What a hidden gem in Bellevue. I literally loved everything about our night here. Customer service was great, food was PERFECT! The flavors were just so good. And the music ... I will go back every month if BROHAMM is there!! I absolutely loved them! I mean it was exactly the night I needed with my husband. We already made reservations for May 12th to go back with friends because we told them they would love it here!

This place had potential because they have a nice outdoor patio, which can be hard to find in downtown Bellevue, and they are also dog friendly! However, the service completely ruined it for me. I usually overlook mediocre service, but the attitude from one of the servers here was just disgusting. First of all, we had 3 different servers waiting on us. That would be fine if they were organized and entered orders correctly, but they did not, and somehow it was MY fault!! We came at 4 PM on a Tuesday, BTW. Initially, we got off to a really good start with the first male server we had. He was friendly and brought treats for our dogs, which was a huge plus! However, it all went downhill from there. We ordered the Summer Berry Salad almost immediately with our first round of drinks. By our second round of drinks and food being served, we inquired about it. This server said she would check into it. Finally, after we had finished our second round of drinks and main course, a third server brought out the Summer Vegetable Salad, which is topped with Prosciutto. I am a vegetarian, so I cannot eat that. I told this third server (a blonde female. Wish I had got her name!) that I ordered the Summer Berry Salad. She got argumentative and told me the "Berry Salad" did not have the word Summer in it and that I ordered it wrong. She was unapologetic and rude and basically told me it was my fault, but she'd see what she could do. At this point, I double checked their menu, and sure enough both salads have the word Summer! (See screenshots!) I was so put off by her attitude and ready to leave that we tried to cancel the salad order. They wouldn't let us. By the time I finally got my salad, I had to just box it up. (Not looking forward to leftover salad.) Had they been more apologetic and accommodating, none of this would've been a big deal, but the nasty attitude we received here has left a very bad taste in my mouth. I definitely won't be back! read more

The food was great, but my experience was really awful. We dined here with 8 people ordered drinks (several rounds), appetizers and meals. Then after my husband and friend were dancing to the live band. The owner asked them to sit down that we couldn't dance and the expense of the band... no idea what that means ! I'll never go back just rude! read more

Was here for a birthday dinner. Place is very nice, we sat outside and it wasn't cold at all. There was covering and heat. Service was great. Very lively, even had a live band at one point. My friend and I were so anxious we didn't really eat the food we ordered. We orders fries, Kobe beef sliders, and Chilean sea bass. We both had the slider and drank a good portion of dinner haha. It's a fun place! Will definitely have to come back with my friends. read more

Extremely Disappointed - Reservation Not Honored, Rude Management I made a reservation at Bakes in Bellevue, WA four months in advance, specifically requesting the middle booth for four people so we could enjoy the band with a clear view. I was told it was "no problem" and that the booth was reserved for us. We showed up on Saturday night, only to find out the booth had been given away. When I spoke up, the hostess admitted I had requested it months ago but said, "They're here every Saturday night and they're big tippers." Seriously? So let me get this straight: if you're a regular who tips big, you get priority -- and the rest of us? Too bad, even if we reserved months in advance. Why even bother making a reservation if it doesn't mean anything? I had to call the other two guests in our party and tell them not to come because without that booth, we couldn't see the band -- which was the entire reason for the evening. To top it off, the manager was beyond rude, offering no apology, no solution, and clearly didn't care. This isn't how you treat customers -- especially ones who plan ahead. I won't be back, and I don't recommend this place to anyone who expects their reservation to be respected or wants to be treated with even a basic level of courtesy. read more

Visiting from out of town and found the restaurant online. Great atmosphere and excellent food. Service was very attentive. Love the patio!

I'd go back here but I'm not sure I'd find it again! Pros- - fun atmosphere, pretty bar - lots of indoor and covered patio seating options - friendly service was perfect for our table- helpful and accommodating but left us alone. - mushroom arancini was tasty, best if you like mushrooms bc they are a plenty! Served with arugula and a yummy green sauce! Mid: -unique vibe with the promotional jazz decor, stage and big screens. Lots to take in and I couldn't figure out if it was a jazz club or sports bar. Maybe it's both? - I honestly wouldn't have found this place on my own so it was a good thing I was with a trusted friend. No signage in the garage, had no idea where to find the restaurant, no signage in the elevator. Located in an office building, I found myself wondering how this place stays in business. - bathrooms are down a long hallway, and around the corner. Allow time for the trek. - the Brussels sprouts were different. Sweeter than I anticipated... probably wouldn't choose them first next time but they went down just fine. - sweet potato hummus was good, pretty presentation and I liked the assortment of raw veggies... but overall it was nothing special. - the wide oval table was ideal for a club but I found it hard to catch up with friends. read more

Thanks to Yelp recommendations I've found another great place to eat. Bake's Place Bar & Bistro is a hidden gem nestled in Bellevue, for those who love really good food and possibly entertainment. I reserved a table earlier that day, and I'm happy I did as it's not traditionally a place for toddlers (no boosters/high chairs are available) the staff was extremely accommodating by sitting us at a booth verses a table. We ordered a few starters with plans to order main entrees, but found ourselves completely satisfied with the starters. My husband ordered his crispy garlic Chicken after we finished our appetizers, not knowing it is made to order and would take longer to prepare he took it to go. All of our selections were really good!!! Service from start to finish was great, I really appreciate how the entire staff (manager, and servers) work together to take care of all guests. The atmosphere provides a really nice way to end your busy workday, or week. Any restaurant that has the musical jazz icons adorning it's walls is a place I want to be, I'm looking forward to returning and highly recommend!! read more

Didn't realize that Bellevue had such a place like this! My friend and I was at a nearby beach and wanted to have dinner and came across this place. It located inside a building but easily accessible. There's also a parking garage underneath to park. Restaurant is I'll validate. The restaurant was so big and spacious! They also have outdoor seating which I love but the the best part is.... It's pet friendly!! It's so nice these days to have restaurants that allow you to have your pet with you! That's more of a reason I'm willing to come back to dine! There's also live music outside with great happy hour specials for drinks. For appetizers we orders the chipotle chicken tacos (order is per taco) and sake braised pork belly. For entrees we ordered the Sea scallop and gulf shrimp and vegan Thai curry. The tacos were decent. It was alittle on the bland side. Couldn't really taste the chipotle. We added hot sauce to it and it was bad. Sake braised pork belly was very good but very salty! It comes with taro chips which I appreciated! They were good by itself but also balanced out the saltiness of the pork belly. The sea scallop and gulf shrimp was very good! It has lots of flavor and portion was definitely filling. Vegan Thai curry was great! I added some vegetables and it was yummy! I would give the food 8/10 Customer service was phenomenal which I love! It was our waiters first day so another server was shadowing him but he did a wonderful job! Can't wait to come back and try more things. read more

Love the vide here.everything is amazing as I love it. We will come back. My only take way star is that I ask for my burger mid-rare and it was mid. I didn't send it back and ate it, was very tasty. My husband got the sea bass and it's the best he's ever had in his life. Fun place, we will be back Edit... manager came up to us and said I should've sent the burger back, which he's not wrong. But I don't like making a fuse. So I'm changing my review to 5 for the customer service and the attention to detail. Thank you read more

Came here on a Thursday night for Seattle Restaurant Week. We got an outdoor table due to Covid, loved the string lights above and the music. For SRW, I enjoyed the fried goat cheese balls, beef short ribs and blueberry creme brulee. Everything was delicious! My husband got the wagyu burger and fries, which was also really tasty. We were pleasantly surprised by Tiki Thursday, so we got a Painkiller cocktail which was refreshing and good. Would definitely come back again! Staff was very nice and the tables were spaced apart outside. read more

I have a feeling this place was really cool pre-COVID, with its large stage and live music scene. They're making the best of the situation with an awesome outdoor patio and drink specials, but the prices are steep. My friend and I visited Bake's Place Bar & Bistro for some drinks. Located in an office building, it's a hidden gem in downtown Bellevue. But once you step inside, you're transported into what looks like a jazz nightclub. The scenery is dark with a center stage as the main attraction of this place. It's also two-stories, so imagine the view from above when you're watching a show here. It's bound to make for a good time. When my friend and I arrived on a Thursday night, we were hoping to take advantage of the happy hour specials, which unfortunately, they are not doing at this time. I get businesses are struggling, but so are individuals. Bummer. However, they let us know that for this month they have a nightly cocktail special, which featured whiskey. For the night we visited, the cocktail special was a whiskey sour for $12, which is what I ended up ordering. But for those not into whiskey, they have a solid menu of different cocktails, including tiki drinks. The ambience was super cool. The outdoor patio was the place to hang out at, which was where most of the customers were. Our bartender was friendly and checked in with us throughout the two hours we were there. But my whiskey sour wasn't anything to brag about. It was fine. Not bad, but just fine. We ended up snacking on the veggie flatbread, which was also just fine. If I thought the drink prices were steep, then the food prices had me take a second glance. You're paying for the setting here. If you visit Bake's Place knowing that, then you're all good. But personally, I'd come only back for when happy hour makes a comeback or for an event. read more

Bakes Place is a great restaurant/bar--full stop. On top of great food and a top notch bar, the live music is amazing; it's the best year-round live music venue on the Eastside. When we arrived, we were given a choice of seats based on how close we wanted to be to the stage along with advice on what to expect--what great service! So, if you can - go for a show, you won't regret it. If your schedule doesn't align with the music, then just go for a meal or a happy hour as the food is great! read more
