Finding a table for three on Valentine's Day without a reservation usually ends in heartbreak, but…read morewe lucked out here! Despite it being a busy holiday evening, we were seated immediately. The vibe was lively but comfortable, with most tables and the bar filled. Since we visited in February, we leaned heavily into their specials menu. We skipped the small plates and went straight for the mains: the Greek Salad with Steak, the Steak and Gorgonzola Flatbread, and the Vine Burger. Every dish was a hit, though my wife found the red wine vinaigrette on the salad to be just "okay" rather than great. For drinks, we stuck to the mocktails. We tried all three on the menu, and the Blueberry Mule (ginger beer based) was the undisputed winner. We'll have to come back for the cocktails another time since they looked promising! We capped the night with the Apple Blossom pastry with vanilla ice cream--it is a total "must-try." Overall, the service was courteous, the ambiance was spot-on, and parking was a breeze. We'll definitely be back!

Love Wick-Ed. Great wine, great ambience…read more Ed is amazing and always remembers me, great pours, and picks some fantastic wines for the members.

Wick-Ed Wine is a welcome addition to the downtown Everett wine scene!…read moreThis is a tasting bar, bottle shop, wine hang out, wine information resource and an outdoor patio with music kind of place that is sophisticated, comfortable, unpretentious and welcoming. Wick has been in the wine business for over 30 years and has relationships with wine makers in WA, OR and CA as well as access to international distributors so you can add France, Germany, Chile and Argentina to the list. Wick has an uncanny knack for selecting some of the best wines available at several price points. We have yet to go wrong with any of his recommendations. Give Wick-Ed a try, you won't be disappointed!

He is the perfect winery dog, who loves those who love him but won't bug you too much if you don't want it. (But who wouldn't want it) We were actually were on a hunt for beer so it was a nice surprise that they had some on draft in addition to their wine selection. We had a few of their lighter and fruitier beers which were good. The hefiwizen was bright and citrusy but the blond was a bit dull with not much complexity. (Though I suppose people don't look for complexity when they go with light beers). The atmosphere (including the dog) was the main highlight. The warm lighting, comfortable seats and welcoming staff made us feel at home. The cost was a bit on the high side compared to nearby breweries. That being said, you are paying for the atmosphere too so sometimes it's worth a few extra dollars. Overall a nice place that was just what we were looking for on a rainy day but could have been a little bit more bang for your buck.

My boyfriend and I decided to check out Pace Kitchen on a Saturday evening trip to Snohomish and…read moreWOW-- were we impressed! I think the best way to describe their food is that you can tell it was all made from scratch. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and overall delectable. We started out with flights of wine, which were reasonably priced at $15 each. Our appetizer, the focaccia, came out quickly, followed by the bolognese and pork belly appetizer. Both mains were incredible. The pork belly was melt-in-your-mouth flavorful, paired with a delicious sauce and brussels sprouts. Housed in a cute, rustic setting, Pace is the perfect winter evening out. I can't wait to come back and check out their seasonal menu changes!

Waitress came by shortly after and we ordered (2) glasses of wine, truffle popcorn and flat arugula & prosciutto flat bread to share while we waited. Service was pretty fast. Took a while for flat bread to come out though. The wine was fine, no complaints. I wouldn't recommend the food and more for the drinks. The truffle popcorn, we saw that it came from a bag (skinny pop), they added truffle seasoning and shaved Parmesan on top. The flatbread came out burnt and was extra toasty.

She was absolutely blown away with her server (Melissa) as she was super- attentive, helped with the happy hour menu and food/wine selections, and, split the appetizers and bill without being asked. The inside was cozy and comfortable. Food ordered amongst the four: caprese salad, bread and oil, bruschetta, and a flatbread - ALL were equally great! Perfect for that late afternoon get together. And Melissa even brought my wife and others a small taste glass of a wine to make sure they all liked it - - who does THAT anymore? All in all, a great experience, great service, great food, and great atmosphere! Signed, Cathy and "the ladies"

In long Lately we've been seeking out places that are literally quieter--less volume on the music, more space between the tables, and so on. I'd been wanting to check out 5x5, anyway, since it's the only spot around with an exactly perfect rating score. It looked like it'd fit the bill for a low-key place, and off we went. We came in shortly after they opened on a Saturday (4:00 PM). You're in a larger business-traveler hotel here, aimed at Boeing and Boeing-sub folks traveling for work. The building looks kinda generic from outside, but there's plenty of parking, and the lobby has a high-ceilinged atrium vibe for sure. Nice floor tiles, nice carpet, tasteful furniture. Everything's in perfect shape. You don't feel the lounge vibe right away, but there's a gigantic fireplace ahead of you, warming both sides of the room from the middle. Around that, there are lots of sturdy, shiny tables under the lofty ceilings. Off to the side, there's a little lounge area, then another one. Everything in the lounge is bar-height seating, and there are a few flatscreens, probably showing the game. Most folks are in here, sitting around the bar in the middle of the room. We posted up at a table just outside the lounge. Lindsey was behind the bar, and cheerfully answered every single question we had about food and all their cocktails. She's super friendly and makes a great drink for sure. She seems to have a bunch of regulars who aren't staying at the hotel, which is a great sign, no doubt. We checked out the warm pretzel--such a decadent treat. The waffle fries (and especially the aioli that came with them) were awesome. The pizza was a great choice; we added pickled onions to the Speedway. The crust could be a little crisper but we took home what we didn't finish and it's great here, too. Service on food and drinks was really quick. The cocktails here can be really creative, and there are lots of classics with house twists on the recipe. They even have a pisco sour they've tweaked--that's a fair bit of work for a bartender to make mid-shift. We got 5 great drinks and 3 nice plates of food for $96, and I don't think we even ordered anything from the HH menu. This is a very easy place to add to the rotation.

Way too expensive for a hotel lobby bar. If you want locals to come hang out make it affordable.read more
