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.

Apparently they "stopped doing that" in September, which was unclear from their website or Yelp reviews/pics, and it wasn't just me--the table next to me asked their server the same thing. My friend and I got brunch-y drinks (mimosa, spicy Bloody Mary), and then each got one of the only two items on the menu that had eggs (shakshuka and a breakfast sandwich). While I can't comment on the shakshuka, the breakfast sandwich had thick bread that was toasted a bit too much and wrecked the roof of my mouth. The drinks were good but the sandwich + a mimosa set me back $30 before tip so I don't think I'll be coming back again--certainly not during "brunch" time!

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. The exterior seating area is covered and has heaters. Most importantly, the food is AMAZING. The staff is friendly and the coffee is good. 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.

This good spot for brunch food especially after wine tasting. Came here at around 11 AM and was…read moresurprised at the wait time. This location is popular and wait times can reach past the 40 minute mark. Despite the wait time, I was fully committed and parked myself on an outdoor bench with their provided guest pager in hand. There's indoor and covered heated patio seating. Given the currently balmy weather, I opted for indoor. My wait time was around 30 minutes and I was able to secure a comfy indoor window seat. Their menu is extensive and features breakfast and lunch items. They also have mimosas and cocktails. They also offer house made pastries. I opted for the Chorizo omelet with potatoes and a side of pancakes. The omelet was decent portion and delicious. The potatoes had a lovely pan char and was also well-seasoned. The pancakes were fluffy and was the final bite that activated my food coma. Needless to say, I requested a take home box. Service was friendly and prompt. This is definitely a solid spot for brunch or lunch. Parking can be tricky especially during the weekends. There are retail parking spots in the surrounding buildings.

Very knowledgeable on what they have available. Look forward to exploring the property more. The Winter Beerfest is always a fun event and kudos for the additional fire pits!

I love all the art and homage paid to Bothell famous figures. Super, super friendly and welcoming staff. Cons: the smell. It's an old building, I get it. But I could not get over the musty smell of the hallways. Thankfully the offending aroma did not bleed into the hotel room. The bed and bedding were just ok. I would have preferred a cozier bed. No fridge or microwave in room so we could not keep any leftovers.

I just wish there had been more than a couple leaves of spinach and that the eggs had been seasoned with salt and pepper. My boyfriend enjoyed the chicken fried steak. The sourdough toast was run if the mill supermarket bread. How about using bread from a local bakery? The iced tea was fresh brewed, which was nice. Service was fast, friendly, efficient, and attentive. The interior was clean, far too cold, and the two person booths are cramped (we are not big people). Prices were a bit high for the serving sizes and quality of food, but for the area, I wasn't surprised. 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 thanks to good service.

We first started off with one of the blueberry coffee muffin cakes. It was the perfect amount of sweet, mixed with the blueberry bit (yum).

In both cases, the potatoes were very soft and tasty and the bread and table raspberry jam from scratch is perfect. Probably one of the best burritos I've ever had for breakfast. If you're in the neck of the woods, you have to stop here for breakfast. Parking can be a nightmare

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.
