However, yesterday on 6/28 when the wait was too long so I decided to choose takeout, it was the worst service I've ever experienced. I walked inside, placed the takeout order, and was told it would be ready in about 15 minutes. I went outside to the bench to wait to realize the server didn't take my name for the order. After about 20 minutes had passed, I walked back inside to look for someone. I saw another server walk over when I was lost and waiting and she ended up helping another group who walked in after me, so I was ignored. Then I initiated the conversation and asked about my order and she said "Oh please wait outside and we will come out to give you your order when it's ready." I glanced over and noticed someone bagging takeout orders, so I walked back outside. Another 25 minutes passed and no one has come out to deliver my takeout order. It was about 45 minutes since I placed the order and I was not happy. I walked back inside and asked the server behind the counter. Mind you this is the 3rd server. They asked what I ordered (since my name was not taken down when the order was placed, it made it unorganized) and one of the two takeout bags that was sitting on the counter for a good 20 minutes I noticed it was my order. When I got home, the burger buns were all soggy and the fries were soft and not crispy anymore. This is such an unfortunate situation because I've always shared positive comments about The Cottage, but with the experience I had yesterday, I will be rethinking to come back.

We ordered the California omelette with hash browns and toast. It was decent, but honestly pretty bland on its own and tasted much better once we added sauce. We also tried the strawberry rhubarb French toast. It wasn't my favorite - the topping felt a bit thrown together, and the whole dish was much sweeter than I expected. The coffee was okay, and the orange juice tasted like bottled juice rather than fresh squeezed. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but the food didn't really stand out to me, especially for brunch.

Service was notably much more welcoming, the interior & vibe remained on point. The College Friend and birthday celebrant went all out and had the Fried Chicken Sandwich with fries. Notable was that the sizable chicken filet was both buttermilk and pickle juice brined. I opted for the buttermilk pancakes with a blueberry peach compote and a side of Hempler bacon. The fruit compote was so delicious, the maple syrup was a bit of an afterthought. So contrary to my previous review, I did return albeit 6.5 years later. And props to them, compared to other greater Seattle spots that have shuttered, The Guest House seems to have staying power in Kenmore.

The restaurant is cozy and though some of the tables are a little close to one another... they've done a great job working with the space they have.

Solid portion sizes and the chefs do a great job cooking whatever you want exactly how you want it. ALL of the service staff are very professional in appearance and friendly. I will say, it isn't cheap but you're paying for corresponding quality (and the quality is solid). This is clearly a well run and maintained restaurant and has easily earned 5-Stars from me.

The food and ambiance were wonderful, and our server was absolutely amazing! Unfortunately, our experience took a disappointing turn when my daughter accidentally told the hostess we were a party of eight instead of ten. When we were called to be seated, the woman very rudely pointed out that we were actually a party of ten and told us we would be moved to the bottom of the list and have to wait all over again. I've worked at a resort in Wailea for over 30 years and understand the challenges that come with accommodating larger parties. However, the way we were spoken to was, in my experience, one of the rudest and most unprofessional interactions I've ever encountered. It's unfortunate because the food, atmosphere, and our server were wonderful. However, the way we were treated by the hostess left a lasting impression, and unfortunately, we'll be choosing another restaurant in the future.

It has been one of the biggest things missing for me. Until we found Bistro 76! We came here on a Saturday around 11:30 and it was pretty slow--we were seated immediately. I ordered the classic eggs benedict and my husband ordered the corned beef hash. Both were amazing! They came out perfectly seasoned and super fresh! We really enjoyed the food. We also felt the food was very fairly priced for the quality/amount you get. I also ordered a vanilla oat milk latte which was very tasty! The women working here were so friendly and they wanted to say hi to our baby and chat a bit. Really great service overall. We are already talking about making this our regular brunch spot and will be back soon!

We got the Cuban pork hash, ham hash (from the specials menu), corned beef hash, and breakfast burrito. The potatoes were unique because they were neither crispy but they weren't mushy either and very nicely fluffy inside. Also very well seasoned! The eggs were perfectly done and oozy, the hollandaise sauce was light, more so added for extra creaminess. I'm not usually the biggest fan of hollandaise sauce as I find it sometimes too heavy but this was less rich which was nice. The breakfast burrito was tasty, nice amount of filling. I enjoyed the cubes of ham and how it wasn't overly salty. Definitely eat with hot sauce and some black pepper. I think it would get a little mundane if you were to eat the whole thing yourself but it's not bad. The banana bread donut isn't really a donut. More so a banana bread Bundt cake. It was nice, slightly sweet with what tasted like whipped browned butter.

After some chit chat, we ordered and I went with the Double Smash Burger and regular Fries. In the mighty and powerful words of Buford T. Justice... "SOMBITCH!!" Hands down the BEST Smash Burger I've had! Paired perfectly with dill pickle slices, that double American Cheese, grilled onions and whatever sauce or spread they had on it...warning... it's juicy and can get a little sloppy, but that makes a solid smash burger!!! That meal perfectly hit the spot! Could be a bit pricey on the menu, but anymore, what place isn't? Either way, you can expect some awesome grub that won't break the bank... especially if the Director is picking up the tab ;). The service was great, the conversation and team was in good form and cheer, and the meal was spot on. Hoping one day I get back out this way as an excuse to stop by again. Thanks for the experience and as always, enjoy and have a Smashing Ol' Time!
