We tried the Caesar deviled eggs, hot honey roasted carrots, lamb chops, and the steak and frites--and every single bite was a standout. It was the absolute best way to celebrate my favorite person's big birthday. Thank you to everyone at Jackson House for making it so special. We'll definitely be back.

We tried their limoncello and food offering at taste WA, and that is how we discovered this restaurant. I'm glad we did! For food, we had the caviar, spot prawns, and steak frites, and they were all fabulous! Their interactive cocktail menu, which uses a blue light to reveal hidden information, was a nice touch!

The staff was all really great; friendly, patient and helpful in recommendations. They even had the kindest of reactions to broken glasses. They have both indoor and outdoor seating to accommodate but the outdoor is like 1 table and a few chairs. It really is a nice, very small place, to go on a summer day. The food was great too. I wasn't sure if it was from there or catered from next door but I wanted to mention it as well.

It is dark and moody inside and has an art deco feel. The bar was large, but we sat in the dining room. The menu had fresh innovated menu options not just your standard brunch fare. We ordered a bottle of sparkling wine and ordered a variety of items. I had the veggie scramble that came with potatoes seasoned in an odd flavor profile I couldn't put my finger on, my husband had a sausage egg dish that he loved and would order again. Our friends order a breakfast Beecher cheese sandwich with fluffy brioche bread. My favorite part was the French press coffee for 4. Nothing beats this style of coffee and it was made to perfection. I would definitely return and would like to try happy hour.

My only feedback is the karaoke host who doesn't have a yelp (shocking!) and her amateur rotation. If your name is called and you're not already standing at the stage like a mind reader you usually can lose your turn before you even have a chance to get there. Giving people just a few extra seconds would make a huge difference, especially after waiting an hour or two to sing. Cheers

The food was just okay to ick. The fries were burnt and barely edible and burger just "meh". We planned to ask for a replacement except for the biggest downside: the service. It's inattentive and prioritizes regulars. Just getting our food took ages, as staff will happily chit chat with the regulars and ignore your table. Overall, just not worth it.

Hollywood Tavern is an upscale tavern that knows what it is--very good food, solid cocktails, a…read moregreat atmosphere, and consistently good service. Add in a great location near Chateau Ste. Michelle and the Sammamish River Trail, and there is a lot to like here. Food & Drink: The food is very good across the board. The chicken sandwich is a standout, and they have some of the better wings in the area if you like a dry rub. The fish and chips have a solid crunch despite being light/airy, and both the beef and lamb burgers are well executed. The homemade black bean burger is an underrated vegan option. The Green Goddess salad is also pretty good, and gluten-free buns are available. They rotate in seasonal items as well, so there is usually something different on the menu. The bar leans more toward cocktails and whiskey than beer. The whiskey selection is great. Other spirits are less diverse, but there is enough to make most cocktails. They are solid at making the classics--I've had the Martini, Paper Plane, Gimlet, and Manhattan here, and all have been very good. The seasonal cocktail menu is also usually well done, with options built around a variety of spirits. This isn't a top-grade cocktail program, but it is pretty solid and fits the vibe of the place well. One of their quirks is the alcoholic milkshake. I haven't had one, but have heard good things. The beer menu is probably a little weak in terms of options for somewhere with "Tavern" in the name. They still have some local brews on tap, but beer clearly isn't the focus here. Ambiance & Service: Hollywood Tavern has a great location in Woodinville, near Chateau Ste. Michelle and the Sammamish River Trail. There is a decently sized parking lot that usually doesn't overflow. The outdoor seating area is solid, complete with Adirondack chairs and a fire pit. Inside looks and feels like a tavern. There is some great wall art showing the building from when it was a gas station and Woodinville was still "out in the sticks." The interior is basically divided into two halves, with the bar on one side. There is a nice rustic wood-top bar with seating for maybe ten, plus additional high-top seating along the windows. There is also an indoor/outdoor-feeling section along the road. There is usually a good buzz in the room. It isn't a quiet or intimate spot, but it also isn't really a "socialize with the locals" type of tavern. It works particularly well for a casual date night or a guys' or girls' night out. Country music (Bluegrass/Americana) is usually what's playing (fairly quietly). It also works surprisingly well for families. Between the noise level and lack of formal dining, it is a good option for a "fancy" family dinner where everyone can still relax. The kids menu is fairly standard, but portions are solid and the value is good. Kids get crayons and coloring menus, and parents can actually enjoy the food and drinks without feeling like they brought their kids somewhere they shouldn't have. Service is above average. The staff is friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the service fits the casual atmosphere well. Final Thoughts: Five stars. Think upscale tavern with more of a focus on cocktails than beer, but with country music and a rustic finish. Hollywood Tavern combines very good food, solid cocktails, a great whiskey selection, above-average service, and one of the better casual atmospheres in Woodinville. It works equally well for a casual date night, a night out with friends, or a nicer family dinner. Von's or The Shed, will get the press/publicity in the area, but for me, this place is an underrated gem. -AC

Sadly the service was not much better. Was asked to prepay and pre tip. Then anything we requested when someone came by was met with " you can get that yourself" or a bit of irritation.

I came in to celebrate my friends engagement and of course I had to have my drink the Aqua Ardens Vol. 16, ugh its so so good I cannot recommend it enough. I also had the What We Found in the Jungle... and... YES! For food I had the Steak Frites and I'm so sorry to say that it just wasn't good, for the price point and just how well they do everything else, I expected better, the cut just didn't do it for me and they use different fries for this and it wasn't nearly as good as their happy hour fries, add to the fact that the sauce was miniscule. Guys if you can't slather your Frites then we have a problem. I will say though there was so many new items on there that I would love to try, so one dish is not going to stop me from coming and again our servers were awesome. Oh and just a reminder their happy hour is Tue to Thur and all day Sunday so make it count!
