    Not many choices in Carnation and we've been here before, first time we went we had some not so great service, the next time we had some not so great food. Just lacked flavor and didn't taste great. The restaurant itself is nice and has space along with parking but for the money we can get better food elsewhere.

    Burger with a hot sauce from the shelf

    Stopped in yesterday on the way home for a quick bite. Was a little early for lunch but they had a burger on the menu for breakfast and ordered that. It was delicious. They also have a wall full of hot sauce to choose from. Prices were great, and was even able to catch up with the owner who is a Patriots fan. He was nice enough to give me a DiamondKnot Rootbeer to go as I had tried to order one earlier but the Rootbeer was in the process of being refilled. Will definitely come back to try more things!

    Desserts

    Such a cute cafe with delicious food! We came here for a Saturday morning breakfast. The restaurant section was full and we were seated in the lounge. Service was prompt and friendly. We loved our breakfast - two egg breakfasts and the 2-2-2. We even got to watch CFP football on the TVs in the lounge!

    Caveat to this review: My husbands beer glass had the previous drinkers lipstick still on it, so not washed well, and his dessert had a hair in it. This place is part bakery, part nice restaurant, and part bar with bar eats. The environment is nice, though the seats are taped so they are worn. But we were seated quickly everyone was cheery and kind. The food. I had a French dip, onions, peppers, and mushrooms, fries, tomato bisque soup, and the berry crumble for dessert. The win here are the baked goods, the bread for my sandwich was delicious, and super soft, the berry crumble was full of juicy berries, homemade, and not too sweet. The meat on the sandwich was good and there was a lot of it, the mushrooms and peppers were good too, but rather sparse for an additional 2 dollars for each of those additions. The French fries were shoestring, crispy, needed salt but I could do that so all good there. No ketchup at the table, and when you ask you receive a tiny bit, so if you like ketchup ask for more up front. The soup was delicious, tangy, great texture, the pesto on top was delicious. All in all satisfying dinner, just a few things that would have made it better, plus the hair and the cleaning issues.

    Burger patty was huge, veg fresh and the fried onions delicious. Really liked the bisque, it has the sharp acidic bite of fresh made. Onion rings were well fried and crispy. Chocolate pie was rich and thick. It was really good food. Great little restaurant and bar, with prompt and efficient service. Two things, there was lipstick on my glass, and what looked like a hair baked into the pie. My wife's food had neither. Since this is my first time, it could have just been a bad day for me to eat out.

    I love local places such as Carnation Cafe where you can trust their ingredients and staff. I came here for a team lunch and I must say their menu is not only delicious and filling, but it's also priced very well. They offer a homey-intimate experience where you can learn about their staff, and trust their locally sourced food items. I had the wagyu burger with fries and a pineapple mimosa. All options were amazing and I highly recommend this restaurant to all!

    Amazing Desert Case

    Had a chance to stop by the Carnation cafe for some Sunday brunch after checking out Snoqualamie Falls. We really loved the vibe of the place. They had live music, tasty Mimosas and a dynamic menu. We enjoyed the Stuffed French Toast and a side of Ham, and of course a mimosa!

They…read morehave two separate deck areas -- one connected to the bar and another on the restaurant side. We chose the bar patio, which was cozy, fully covered, and set up with a handful of small high-top tables, making it a really comfortable spot to relax. The drink menu could use a little more detail, since none of the draft options were listed. When we asked about cider, our server checked and let us know they had a cherry pomegranate cider on tap. For beer, the options were simply described as an IPA and a lager, so we went with the lager. It was good, though we never found out which brewery it was from. We also ordered a mule, which was well made. For happy hour, we shared the half charcuterie board ($12), and it was beautifully presented with a great variety. We were impressed enough to stay for dinner afterward. We ordered the burger and the Greek salad with chicken after learning they were out of prawns. Our server also thoughtfully mentioned they were out of Kalamata olives in case that changed my order, which I appreciated. Both entrees were delicious. The burger stood out thanks to the homemade ketchup, which was especially good. The Greek salad was fresh and flavorful, though a bit light on portion size. Service throughout the evening was friendly and attentive, and by around 7 p.m. on a Friday, the restaurant had become quite busy. Overall, a really enjoyable experience with great patio ambiance, solid food, and warm service.

We ordered fish and chips and cauliflower appetizer Pros: Pleasant atmosphere Decent service Delicious coleslaw in fish and chips Cons: Appetizer portion wasn't just big. It was huge.

Overall under seasoned, undersalted. The fries were just ok. People who cook need to occasionally try their own food.

After we finished dining, we walked down to enjoy the waterfall and the beautiful day.

About 10 minutes from the Woodenville winery. As we stepped inside, a warm and enchanting ambiance wrapped around us, filled with the harmonious sounds of clinking glasses and plates that blended in perfect harmony. The heavenly aroma of freshly prepared food wafted through the air, teasing our senses and building excitement while the cozy decor instantly elevated our mood. With an exceptional selection of wine and drinks, plus captivating indoor and outdoor seating, it seemed every whim was thoughtfully catered to. Despite arriving at 1:00 to a lively crowd, we were seated promptly, thanks to the impeccable and exceptional service. Our server's remarkable attentiveness and expertise set the tone for a truly unforgettable meal, and another staff member exceeded our expectations, sharing delightful stories about all their special events, such as Happy Hour and Wine Wednesday, and inviting us back for dinner. She shared that the biscuits we inquired about were made in-house, a testament to the restaurant's pursuit of excellence. With customer service that inspires and leaves a lasting impression, we can't wait to return and relish the experience once more. I highly recommend the Biscuits and gravy, Eggs Benedict, or the Cottage Breakfast; all were truly spectacular! This place truly deserves a spot on your must-visit list, and I highly recommend it.
