    What an absolute gem of a place we stumbled on. Was looking for a place close to the freeway to…read morestop for dinner halfway between Seattle and Portland and we were so pleasantly surprised with what we found at Amaro's Table. Kids meals were high quality scratch cooking at a good price, and the adult meals were excellent. One of the best filet mignons I have ever had. Excellent flavors on all the food, sauces, and sides. Since it was our first time they brought us ricotta donuts on the house for dessert as a treat (apparently it is the owner's grandmother's family recipe). Service was top notch. We sat in the main dining area but the bar was very nice too when we peaked in. That would be a great date night spot. My kids really enjoyed putting a pin of our hometown on the map when we walked in. Overall I can't say enough great things about this restaurant. We had an amazing meal and I hope we have another reason to return next time we pass through this area.

    Our second visit to this Amaro's Table was fabulous! The service was above and beyond, (thanks so…read moremuch Iridian!) not only was our server delightful, she was effortlessly efficient! We love the chandeliers and moody lighting in the bar area, the seats at the bar are cushy, so very comfortable. The view through the large window in the area, is a greenspace and quite tranquil. Today we each enjoyed a salad; I enjoyed the house salad, while Mr. Wonderful had the Caesar salad. He had a burger and those *CHIPS! I had the blue cheese risotto with steak medallions. Of course we had the risotto donuts for dessert. Everything was exceptionally well prepared. Terrific experience!

We were the first ones there so we chose an outside table. Nice space with the fire table. It's a little off the street so everyone isn't in your business The drinks from the bar were not very good. Also the server was not very knowledgeable of the food or the drinks. We got some duck tacos on special. They were amazing. Ok. Things are looking up. Then the showstopper was the meat and cheese board. So beautiful and well explained and lots of handmade wares on. One of the best, if not the best, board I've had. Top notch. So why the bad reviews. We got to chat with the proprietor and we definitely caught them at a bad time. They are having some transitions in staff so if you're willing to be patient, it's worth a shot

[Format & Space] Seat yourself*, review the menus at the table, order at the bar, they bring your food and drinks to your table. *Plenty of tables, some with long benches, others with chairs on the inside. There's also a large patio. This is a welcome and safe space. [Drinks] Right up front, I'm going to tell you I'm a lightweight. I'm allergic to alcohol, so I don't drink often. Here's one of the things I love about The 649. They have a fantastic selection of mocktails that are created with the same creativity, flair, and intention as a "leaded" cocktail. I appreciate that I get to participate and not be stuck with a lemonade, zero alcohol beer, or wine. So, HUZZAH for creating an inviting space for a non-drinker! There *are* times when I'm willing to risk the lobster-bod, itchiness, and stuffy nose and there are plenty of cocktails from which to choose! [Food] There's a nice selection of sharable plates and mains. I've personally tried the flatbread pizza, Bavarian pretzel, Cubano, and Brisket Press, all of which were delish. [Service] The service has always been fabulous. The staff are welcoming, friendly, and helpful. [Activities] There are a few TVs around the bar with sports. It was a great place to catch some of the World Cup games. Additionally, there are several games that you can borrow and play, which is a lot of fun. [Location] Tucked in a busy shopping center with Safeway as an anchor. Parking hasn't been super problematic yet, but based on one of the other reviewers (Ron R - loved your formatting too, so I borrowed it until we get rich text formatting or emojis!) I can see where it could be a challenge.

    I had read about this place, and because I love Vietnamese food, I thought I'd check out this…read moreVietnamese fusion tasting menu. I visited recently, and they were still serving their "winter menu." It's one of those restaurants in a house, and even though it's a tasting menu, it really leans more toward the homey vibe. I was there on a weeknight and there were only two tables of diners for the first seating, and that included me. I think the $85 price tag for the 6-course tasting is a bit more than the level you get. The food was good but it wasn't eye-opening, didn't have any pricey ingredients, and I would say lacks some refinement. I would say this should be more in the $58-$64 range for what you get. Here's a course-by-course review of the winter menu: -- tien vua salad, classic Vietnamese light salad of crunch and tang. It was surrounded by pink shrimp crackers, arranged like how I remember the Chinese restaurants decorating their plate of roasted duck. Light and tangy. -- crab pintxo, a dungeness crab-artichoke crostini that was supposed to be a play on a banh mi. The toast was different a nicely toasted French baguette slice, and the minced dungeness had a meaty texture. The pickled carrot and cucumber had this 80s feel in presentation and was a bit challenging to eat in one bite. Flavor was on point. -- Puerto Phuket was a fried prawns dish that was supposed to be influenced by Mexican cooking. It was well fried shrimp on top of tobiko fried rice, and the only thing that was a hint of Mexican was the gaucamole that was around the fried rice. This was the least successful dish in terms of interpretation and the different parts working together. -- Seafood soup was a play on pho with sliced calamari serving as the "noodles." This was my favorite dish because it had nicely cooked lobster bits and the calamari "noodles" was fun to eat. It was also one of the spicier dishes, with the light pho broth heavily infused with jalapeno. This was totally on purpose, though, because before it came out my server kept asking me if I eat spicy food. And while not chili hot, it was permeating heat type of hot. I liked it but it might be too much for some. -- Tamarind Tango was the main course of petite filet mignon served with a microgreens salad. Nice tamarind fish sauce glace on the meat and it was nice and tender, but again, nothing really surprising both in flavor or presentation. It was pretty predictable. -- poached Bosc pear in red wine for dessert with vanilla ice cream in "soil." This was fine, the pear was a bit al dente for me, I like my poached pear really tender. I actually think the cooking is good but because it's not as creative or refined, they might be better off just serving regular course sizes and let people enjoy a home-style dinner instead of trying to play the tasting menu game. I appreciate the effort but just don't go expecting a revelation.

    We had a delicious meal here for our first visit. Every course had a unique flavor and combo of…read moreingredients, and we loved the east/west fusion. Plating had many cute touches. We enjoyed every dish and couldn't choose a favorite, but the eggplant, filet mignon, crab stuffed pepper and sea bass were the big stand outs to us. Portions were larger than many tasting menus and we left full. They have a selection of alcohol and nonalcoholic drink options. Service was friendly and it was a perfect spot for a date night. They were kindly able to accomodate an allergy . We'll definitely return.

    If you follow my reviews, it's not secret that I generally despise bars. What, then, is so…read moredifferent about Covlins that it warrants a 5-star review? Lots of things... * Staff is REMARKABLY friendly and personable * They are equally attentive and professional * The patrons were awesome, seriously. I came here alone, and no fewer than three people, each in completely different parties, approached and engaged me in conversation. This seemed like a bunch of regulars who welcome newcomers as family. The menu is much larger than expected for a bar. I opted for the pulled pork sliders, and they were FAR better than expected. The rolls were the most surprising part, they were fantastic! I don't know if they're baked on-site, but they're definitely not typical "get the job done" fare, they were superb. "Slider" also seemed to be a bit misleading because they're so generously stuffed with pork and cole slaw that they're closer to a full-sized sandwich. Prices belie the quality and portion sizes (much lower prices than I'd expect). The only minor gripe is that there are not a lot of good seats for seeing bands perform. The bar area is narrow and long, which doesn't lend itself well to seeing performances, but I was still able to do so, and the friendliness of the staff and other patrons (again, AMAZING surprise) really seemed to make up for this.

The only reason did not give it 5 stars is because they charge you a credit card fee if you pay with card. Don't normally experience this at other places and very disappointed. We understand why they are doing it, however, as business owners ourselves, we don't agree this to be good practice. We prefer to give an excellent tip for good service than get surprised with a CC FEE which limits us from giving above and beyond on tipping the server or person who helps with take out, for the great service. Make sure you have cash to pay as the fee adds up!
