    Pork Porterhouse Chop it was one Pork Chop that was so big I had to take it home to finish. Very tasty.
    Dee A.

    Food was very good. I had Coconut Shrimp as a starter. My dinner was a Pork Porterhouse Chop. A tasty Lemon drop. Service was very good. Entertainment was a very good jazz band. Very nice atmosphere.

    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

    This place is such a classy, well thought out, and executed experience. I went for the Boy Toy show, last night (always amazing) The food? SOO good! I wanted to try it all! Beautifully presented and served by the attentive staff.

    The food was great and the position sizes are awesome, appetizers could fill you up! Went on an 80's band night and it was ELECTRIC! $40 for the band cover + $30 per person for food minimum. Go at about 6:30 for a 7pm show. The service is great and the food comes fast

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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! Appetizers 5 Stars Food 5 Stars Entertainment 10 Stars Restaurant vibe 10 stars I'm young but have a old soul so I was heaven! Great place to check out!

    I was told I ordered the Summer Vegetable Salad and not the Summer Berry Salad because the Berry Salad doesn't have the word Summer.
    Julie S.

    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!

    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.

    I went to Bake's Place for a private event hosted by my company, and while the cocktails and appetizers were great, the food was very bland. Think of this more as a happy hour place. It did get really crowded, so it's best suited for small groups.

    Kyle T.

    1st class drinks, dining, desserts, and live music! The cocktails rival the best bars in Seattle area. Whiskey aficionados, they've got you covered here. The toffee lava cake was sooooo good! We particularly love coming to see the Mark Dufresne Band playing live blues music.

We did, but we were early -- and he immediately told us it wasn't a problem. He cracked a few jokes, which instantly made us feel welcome and happy to be there. He was incredibly friendly, funny, and set the tone for a fantastic evening. We were shown to our seats but noticed the bar was open, so we chose to sit there instead. From the moment we sat down, we were greeted by one of the friendliest bartenders I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. He asked about our evening, whether we were celebrating anything special, and genuinely made us feel valued. His service and cocktails were top-notch. He took the time to understand what we liked, offered thoughtful recommendations, and every drink was excellent. On top of that, two different servers stopped by to check on us and let us know they were available if we needed anything while the bartender was busy. That level of teamwork and attentiveness really stood out. What started as a quick nightcap turned into a much longer stay because of how welcoming and enjoyable the atmosphere was. The staff truly made the experience. Highly recommend -- and I'm very much looking forward to coming back.

The menu shows off many colorful fruit flavored carbonated beverages all of which sound delicious. Sometimes its really good and addicting. Other times ive been, ive gotten a few drinks that were flat and very bland flavor as if they skipped adding some of the listed flavors. I dont fully understand why. The concept is simple, they use soda and add a scoop of fruit pulp, a pump or so of syrup, and a sprinkle of dried fruit bits. I could be wrong, but I feel like i noticed they use large bottle of the carbonated drink to pour many drinks, but they go flat over time. Which means some people will get flat drinks. On my last visit i ordered several drinks. One was bland and flat.I tried to get them to remake my flat drink, but they warned me it would still be flat. I insisted as my other drinks we had taste better having more carbonated spark and sweet juicy flavors. They remade it using the same bottle of soda and it was just as flat and bland the second time so I just tossed the drink and sipped on my families drinks that tasted amazing. Idk if i would recommend this location as it seems to be so hit or miss. Maybe just make sure they use fresh soda and also that they give you all the mentioned flavors. Hey, maybe on my last visit they just ran out of flavor and fresh soda and didnt want to tell me. When they make it right, its absolutely worth a try.

Their…read morerefreshments are flavored with real fruit and don't include any added sugar, making them a healthy alternative to sodas, with much more pizazz than just a can of sparkling water. Nine enticing creations make up their menu, all of them being fruity and vibrant in color. Ordering is very simple on the kiosk as you just select your drink and also choose an Adaptogen, which is their version of a health "boost". A few of the Adaptogens are free of cost (I selected the immunity one), but other more premium options will cost a dollar or two extra. According to the staff member, most of the Adaptogens are flavorless. All drinks are $7 each and only come in one size. I've visited on two different occasions and both times, my seltzer was ready in just a couple minutes. + PINEAPPLE BREEZE: A refreshing combination of pineapple purée, passion fruit purée, freeze-dried passion fruit and a thin slice of dried pineapple. Both fruity flavors were balanced; I could taste the bright pineapple and the juicy tropical passion fruit. The seltzer was crisp and perfect to enjoy in the Seattle sun. The freeze-dried passion fruit dissolved over time, strengthening the intensity of its flavor with each sip. + RUBY REFRESHER: This drink included cherry purée in addition to lychee. The menu stated that it also includes coconut, but the employee who helped us said that they have never added coconut to the drink, so I'd suggest that they update the description. Additionally, she said that they were out of the actual lychee fruit which would have otherwise been placed on top, so she substituted with some freeze-dried strawberries. This said, the drink strayed from what was displayed on the menu, but it was still good. The cherry flavor tasted very natural and the lychee flavoring brought a juicy sweetness. With this being located within the Lincoln Food Hall, these seltzers are somewhat of a splurge, but are the perfect addition to round out any meal.

The bartender was welcoming, generous with his time, and let us sample and explore different flavors. It felt more like a fun experience than just a night out.

Not very busy when I went at happy hour/dinner time on a Friday night, but the place is busier later at night on Friday/Saturday during the warmer months. Sometimes they have events and DJs. Sat at the bar and tried out some happy hour specials. Got the Korean sauce wings ($12) and cheese truffle fries ($8). Decent amount of fries, definitely has cheese flavor but not that much truffle oil aroma. I liked the wings which you get 6 per order. They weren't fried, but rather tender and juicy. Sauce was agreeable. Definitely enough food for my dinner. As for the drinks, I got the rosemary mule which is Moscow mule with some rosemary herb. The copper mug they use is good sized. Tasted refreshing although could feel the alcohol afterwards. Also tried a corpse reviver no. 2, which was a little sweet but has a punch. Cocktail prices are not cheap outside of happy hour, in the upper teens. Overall, was glad I tried the place out. Will drop by for happy hour once in a while.

We observed other servers taking care of their tables and being present but our server was not to be found. Cliff then appeared back with what looked like tea and stood and drank his tea. We again waited and this experience felt like a prank where there is a hidden camera, waiting for our next move. We were really ready to get up and leave. Slowest service ever. Finally cliff came and we ordered food. Food came out with 15min of ordering. Cod took a little longer. Cod and lamb chops were the best meal of the day. Cod was cooked in such a good gravy and very tasty and so was the lamb. We ordered a variety of naan which was a little chewy. Dessert was the sticky pudding which was very nice. Overall this place is pricey and tip is included so you can't except great service. I would go back here for drinks. But our experience today was awful. Maybe a more engaged server would have changed our experience for the better.
