    I had a great to go experience from this place! I had to call and place my order and the hostess seemed confused but other than I really enjoyed my meal. I got the steak fries and i was really impressed. The meal really held up to go. I loved the fries and the steak was cooked great. Perhaps a little pricey but honestly I really enjoyed it! Would love to dine in sometime

    No question 5 stars! This place is the truth. Located in old town Bellevue, in a perfect location. It's rare to get high scores in all categories, but this place does. The wait staff is very friendly, attentive, and make the atmosphere great. The food is amazing and the drinks follow the same rating! I actually went to 520 for lunch on back to back days. They claim to have the biggest and best wings in the area, and I wholeheartedly agree. Also try the steak bite appetizer.

    My friends and I went out for our monthly dinner and drinks and this place was so fun. Loved the atmosphere inside and the drinks were yummy. Also stayed for 8pm happy hour and got some wings and other small eats. Such a cute place and will be going back.

    We love coming here when the weather is nice as their patio area is amazing. Nothing beats al fresco dining when the sun is out. Recommended Dishes: Tender Steak Bites Northwest Crab Cakes Blackened Salmon Sandwich Now they offer live music on some nights! Service is efficient and friendly.

    Nice place with a pleasant atmosphere, but very limited gluten-free options -- no gluten-free desserts at all. I ended up just having a salad.

    We popped in here yesterday around 1:00. They offer street parking but not sure about a private lot as we were walking. It was a hot day but we did want to sit outside. They have a nice outdoor area and quite a few umbrellas to help avoid the direct sun. They seated us at a table that worked. Our server was friendly and prompt and kept bringing new water carafes as we emptied them. I like when restaurants do this so we don't have to wait for them to fill individual glasses. The menu offers many lunch selections - and a brunch menu as well. We ordered a club sandwich which had the option of coming with a Caesar salad. It was exactly what one wants out of a club. Delicious! My dinner mate had the steak salad and loved it. It offered plenty of steak. Both plates were a nice size. This is a nice lunch stop.

    The ambiance of the indoor seating seemed to be dark and moody. There is both indoor and outdoor seating! The outdoor seating has nice lights and is very nice even at night! Most people were seated outside! The service was pretty good. The waiter checked up on us frequently! We ordered three things the pita & hummus, wings and nachos. These were all very good and would recommend. I went again recently and had their Southwest Chicken salad for lunch and it was pretty good as well! Would recommend all to stop by here and get some food and drinks to enjoy this summer.

    My friend and I came to 520 Bar & Gril 4:30pm. Still Happy Hour time and took seat outside. Tables and chairs surrounded by vinyl are set outside. Service guy was a nice smiling and kindly. Happy hour 2pm-5pm/ 8pm-close Sun-Thur 2pm-5pm/10pm- close Fri & Sat Available indoor and outdoor *but not available for take out. We ordered Hot wings, Cheese curds and 520 Spinach salad. We don't drink alcohol but no problem for HH here. I liked 520 spinach salad, fresh and combination w spinach and sliced strawberries are delicious. Hot wings are little spicy for my friend but not for me. Cheese curds is easy finger food. I would like to try another HH menu next time.

    When you're hanging out in Old Bellevue there are a couple of things you don't expect: 1) to be able to find parking even remotely close to where you're going 2) to be able to find a good happy hour deal that won't break the bank For both of these reasons, I was stunned to stumble upon the 520 Bar & Grill recently when I had a meeting nearby and was craving a beer afterward. I'd actually even managed to find a parking spot almost right in front of this restaurant, so it was definitely kismet. I grabbed myself a seat at the bar and the bartender appeared almost instantly to take my order. I grabbed a Mac 'n Jack's (#drinklocal) and a chicken quesadilla. The beer was so cold I had to wonder: do they store their kegs on ice?! Seriously, though, I LOVE a cold pint and this one was fabulous. I'll try to remember this next summer when it's blazing hot outside and I'm craving a TRULY cold one. The quesadilla was also delish. I like 'em pretty crispy, and this one did not disappoint. It was full of chicken, cheese, and served with what tasted like a house-made pico. And since it was happy hour, this whole meal cost only $17! I'm telling you, that is unheard of in Old Bellevue. (Or really, Bellevue in general, in my experience.) This place feels like one of those hidden gems you don't want everyone to know about. Except, I do!

I loved the variety of sauces and the staff's help in picking exactly what we wanted. We paired them with different types of drinks that complemented the flavors very well. For our entrées, we all ordered the Sea Bass given the high remarks we had heard, and it did not disappoint at all. It was delicious and definitely worth the price point.

Perfectly salted butter, and the taste reminded me of sourdough but the texture of the bread itself was like a very crispy crunchy outer layer over a martin's potato roll. - The Grand (3/5): I learned that I am definitely not a shellfish person.. so keep in mind of my biased take! I wish the waiter explained what came on our plate, but he quickly scooted away. The scallops were my favorite. Nice and mild and sweet flavor. The grand also came with 6 sauces to pair. Wasn't sure which sauce went best with which, but doesn't hurt to try? shell on shrimp and lobster claw were the second and third bests in my opinion. - Grilled Black-eyed Perch (4/5): got a smaller 1.2 lb fish. Can get it grilled and fried. Fried is ~$4 more. This fish was around 38-39/lb at the time of writing. Flavors were so great! Not a bony fish at all and didn't have to really pick at it. A tad dry in certain parts, but again, nice salty, zesty from the lemon and herbaceous. This place is definitely on the $$$ side, so can see ppl coming here for special occasions.

We're greeted immediately by the person at the front desk, pointed us to the bar, which happened to still be happy hour. The place was pretty quiet, only one other person at the bar. We were greeted immediately by Dean, who was very friendly and engaging. We were handed off to another server, I don't recall a name, as they didn't introduce themselves. We went through the extensive beer list and found a couple really good beers, in our opinion, that turned out to be really good beers. I ended up having a second beer, which turned out to be just as good as the earlier two beers. My only complaint, was that it was before happy hour was done, and no one asked us if we wanted any food. Not that we needed any, but it would've been nice to have been asked. Good job overall.

It was a major flaws with execution on the wait staff. Like "why didn't you eat this"? Nobody cared. And I was forced to pay 20% gratuity on a $250 check.
