    Proof we are here (unfortunately)

    Service: 3 stars Food: 2 stars Atmosphere: Just sad My advice: Go somewhere else, this place will be probably be blown over soon enough for something new. I mean, this is Bothell. I grew up in the Seattle area and coming here was a treat. Over the years I've enjoyed the restaurant. While I haven't been back in years, this was the last time and I'll NEVER go back. The restaurant was quiet, 4 in the afternoon and we waited for 14 minutes before anyone came to bring water or ask for drinks. We almost walked out and went someone (we should have). My son and I ordered chicken Parmesan and my wife ordered a pizza. The salad came for each of the chicken Parmesan dishes. They were covered in cheese and not much lettuce. Awhile later the pizza came to the table and they left and said the rest will be out shortly. We waited for quite sometime and one of the chicken Parmesan came to the table and was told the next would be out shortly. While I waited my son offered me a piece of his garlic bread which was buttered bread, no garlic to be tasted, my son said the same. A while later my chicken Parmesan finally arrived. When we finished and the server asked if the meal was okay. We gave him the feedback explained here and explained service seemed to be non existent. His response back was that the restaurant help turnover rate is quite high. I explained the restaurant over the years had been quite good. However, we will never be back. The server said he had heard many times the place was better than it currently is from many people who had come in. We paid our bill and left.

    I have been to Sparta's at Mill Creek a while ago and really liked the food. We wanted a dine-in experience with some great ambiance, so we decided to try the Bothell location. Hospitality was really great. It was a busy evening, we called in advance to make a reservation. The table was ready when walked in. We were helped by Alondra that day. Started with a mini pizza - #26 - Mushrooms, Green Peppers, Olives, Onions & Sliced tomatoes. Ordered a Lasagna with the soup, Cheese Ravioli, Root beer float and couple of sodas. The dine-in experience was great. They served the beverages first followed by the Salad. Also served the bread on the side with Olive oil/vinegar. Took a little bit time for the main courses to arrive. Really enjoyed the pizza. Top! The cheese ravioli was not impressive as last time we tried it; so as lasagna. Something was missing in those. Couldn't make out what's lacking! We told Alondra about this as well, she mentioned she will take the feedback to the chef. The overall experience was nice. The food was not up to the expectations. May be one off day. There are plenty to try from their options. We are disappointed, but that's not stopping us from going back and try their other options soon!

    I usually get takeout from Sparta's location in Lynnwood. Haven't tried the new location in Mill Creek. However, this visit on 5/10/23 in Bothell was a convenient detour from Woodinville via Hwy 522 on the way home to Shoreline. Convenient parking lot, large interior dining area and also an outdoor patio area - perfect for the warmer, drier months to dine al fresco. Pleasant person at the host/reception stand. Menu items include starters, apps, pizza, pasta, and desserts. I placed my order onsite - large Italian sausage with extra cheese (w/ discount, tax, tip = about $35). It was a relatively brief wait and was handed a fresh, hefty, piping hot pizza. Back on the road and stuck in the usual commute traffic, the pizza traveled well and was relatively warm by the time I arrived home for dinner. Great local indie with convenient locations in Lynnwood, Bothell, and Mill Creek. Solid choice for both dine in and takeout.

    Pepperoni, sausage, hot honey, heaven, leave me in peace...

We did get seated very quickly for having no reservations and the blonde lady who greeted us seemed really nice. But when we were sat it went down from there, service was slow, I can't tell if it was because we were young or weren't dressed up enough. And I don't want to get stuck on this point because I know all restaurants work differently when it comes to their sections but we watched as our waiter sat a whole other table, greeted them, and got their drink orders before even approaching us. After we were sat for over 15 minutes. Then we ordered matcha's because a guy by us had one and it looked so good. It was given to us with chunks, meaning they didn't prepare it properly and still decided to serve it to us. We weren't given any water refills until 40 minutes of sitting down even though we had both finished our waters before we even ordered our matchas. The food was delicious and was served quickly. And the girl who served it to us wasn't our waiter but gave us more energy and excitement than our original server did. I still tipped the waitress well because I don't want to hold the stereotype of being a young unappreciative customer. But I dont think it was really deserved, in the nicest way possible. We weren't only there for the food, we wanted to have a nice atmosphere with good service and I feel as though we didn't get the latter.

Everything on the menu sounded great, but I decided to go with the Cowboy Burger since it seemed to be a customer favorite and I'm glad I did. It had been a long time since I'd had such a good burger. The patty was incredibly juicy and tender, practically melting in my mouth, and the sauce complemented the burger really well. The only disappointment was the fries. They were thick and tasted like they may have been reheated multiple times. They also lacked salt, so I added some myself to make them more enjoyable, but I still couldn't finish them. The staff was friendly and checked on us a couple of times throughout the meal. I'm giving this place four stars mainly because of the fries, but I will definitely be back for that amazing burger.

I received a promo for $5 off so I tried to use it the previous time, but she didn't know how to apply it. Then another time when I order The Caribbean Plato with pulled roasted pork, when I got home, I discovered the wrong type of meat (grilled pork instead of pulled pork). For these reasons, I didn't go back for a long time. Today, I went again to get take out for my visitors. I called in the order so I didn't have to wait, but Gisela didn't understand my order and kept getting it wrong. I ordered 3 Caribbean Plato with pulled pork, and 1 Caribbean Plato with chicken thigh, but she kept repeating the wrong order back to me (2 pork, instead of 3, wrong type of meat, etc), so I tried it again and again, still no comprendo. I got frustrated and told her that I would just come in person to order. I was in a hurry, but I had no choice. When I got there, I ordered the same thing, but this time, I gestured the type of pork I wanted, using my hands to show pulled and tried to explain that I wanted the shredded kind, not the solid kind). Someone was with me so he heard my order in plain English. As I was waiting for my order, I decided to ask her once more just to be sure that it wasn't the grilled pork bc she made that mistake last time. Then she said my meat was grilling now. I was alarmed since they don't get the pulled pork from the grill. I told her that I wanted PULLED ROASTED PORK, not the solid grilled patty kind. She said something in Spanish to the guy who was putting my order together and he showed me a sample of the pulled pork so I said "YES" that's the one I want. She said they were already cooking the grilled pork. When I told her that she was giving me the wrong order, she said "it's too late". I was so upset so I said, "why is it so hard to understand my order?" Pulled pork is pulled pork, not grilled pork. I never even mentioned the word "grilled". A guy came out from the kitchen so I explained myself and he said what I want is the pulled roasted pork and I said, "that's what I ordered". She tried to explain something to him in Spanish, but he told her to just give me the pulled pork and I was on my way. She just ruined my day, and I could feel my blood pressure rising. I don't think I will ever return again. It's too hard to explain the right kind of meat to Gisela. Dining out and getting take out should be a pleasant experience, not a stressful one.
