    Latte
    Leilani Q.

    Such a chill spot on Mercer Island to stop and grab a drink! Coffee in the morning/afternoons and cocktail bar starting later at like 4pm? I think. Stopped to grab coffee and do some work. Bring your tech already charged because I couldn't find an outlet. I don't think the space is made for that! Seating: outdoor patio and indoor. Inside it was a bit warm and stuffy because it was a rainy and humid day in Seattle. Service: super nice service! I also overheard the employee being very patient with a customer who sounded very rude (to me). Latte: good foam, latte art, and strength of the espresso was just right

    I've been here during the day for coffee and at night for a drink. I love both vibes. During the day, I love the outdoor patio--it makes you feel like you're in a peaceful European garden surrounded by green on a beautiful patio. The indoor decor is different, beautiful and speak easy-esque. It's cozy, intimate and fun. Outdoor patio also has a fire going, which is nice for the evening. The drinks were pretty good. They have a couple snacks on the menu but not a full food menu. Definitely a fun spot for a party too!

    Really cute bar with good cocktails, albeit a little sweet. (We got Mercer 75 and something else I can't remember.) It's a tiny space so not great for more than 4 per party. It was a rainy night so we couldn't enjoy the outdoor setup, but that also looked nice. There was just one bartender doing everything by himself for a full room on a Saturday night. He did great, but I think he'd need help if people spilled outdoors. They exclusively serve drinks, no food. However, I'd encourage a standard nuts & pretzels for a small fee to keep the drinking going.

    Cam, Adam, Sasha and Alexa were great! Friendly staff and incredible drinks. Great little cocktail lounge with fun vibe. Highly recommend!

    My friend and I visited ASA on a Sunday evening. The openness and modern but yet exquisite detail that was put into this cocktail bar is far beyond average. With every detail you will see that the owner had his customers comfort in mind when designing and decorating. Luckily the owner was present when we visited and what a kind and welcoming man he is! As we enjoyed our crafted cocktails he made sure to visit every table in the establishment and introduce himself and ensure everyone was happy with what they had ordered. The customer service and delicious crafted cocktails were top tier. What a beautiful addition to Mercer Island. Thank you for being here! We will definitely be back!

    What a fantastic new place in Mercer island! The decor and ambiance is amazing. The service was incredible, Sasha was extremely personable and accommodating. May just be my new favorite spot!

    A great place and atmosphere and amazing cocktails! Definitely a hidden gem on the island and definitely coming back.

    First time here for a quick bite. The vegetarian eggs Benedict is so yummy…read more The eggs and pancakes were yummy. Pancakes were nice and fluffy (I was never a fan of pancakes ) and I ate them all . Even better my bacon came out nice and CRISPY as requested.... thank you chef! Our waitress was amazing and very professional. Perfect day for patio seating since the indoor seatings were all reserved. Only one note, management, should look into having more staff there was only one waitress and a host causing slow service. I must say the hostess and waitress were amazing and great team supporting each other for dining service

    I've had two great meals here, can't wait to come for dinner service soon…read more Food: My vegan friend had the Buddha bowl and it looked delicious. Definitely want to try it again with a protein and she loved it. I had their quiche "of the moment" which was Havarti cheese. Came with a perfectly dressed side salad which I would've loved a little more of but otherwise the quiche was a good size with a flaky crust. We love dessert so I tried the date and molasses cake which was decadent and moist. My friend had both sorbets (mango and raspberry) and was very satisfied. I love restaurants that we can both eat at with no issues and there are options that make us both very happy. Service: Our server was lovely, I would come back just to hang out with her again. Ambiance: This restaurant is so pretty! It's like dining in someone's perfectly decorated living room. And the rounded bar is so chic. I have to give the restroom huge props as well - clean, tastefully decorated and smelled awesome.

We did, but we were early -- and he immediately told us it wasn't a problem. He cracked a few jokes, which instantly made us feel welcome and happy to be there. He was incredibly friendly, funny, and set the tone for a fantastic evening. We were shown to our seats but noticed the bar was open, so we chose to sit there instead. From the moment we sat down, we were greeted by one of the friendliest bartenders I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. He asked about our evening, whether we were celebrating anything special, and genuinely made us feel valued. His service and cocktails were top-notch. He took the time to understand what we liked, offered thoughtful recommendations, and every drink was excellent. On top of that, two different servers stopped by to check on us and let us know they were available if we needed anything while the bartender was busy. That level of teamwork and attentiveness really stood out. What started as a quick nightcap turned into a much longer stay because of how welcoming and enjoyable the atmosphere was. The staff truly made the experience. Highly recommend -- and I'm very much looking forward to coming back.

The menu is pretty out there but the flavors on everything were excellent. I tried some of my aunts green beans and I can definitely say they were the best Ive ever had. So much flavor for something I'd usually never get as an app. I went with the five spice duck confit, which comes with a duck leg and thigh. Everything was delicious, noodles, bok choy, and the broth was killer. I drained it after I ate everything. Staff was really great and helpful, we had a kid in our party and they had no problem making a spiced up order of their kids noodles. Get the black sesame ice cream, it had a peanut butter flavor and was super creamy and smooth.

I used to live within a stones throw away and was excited to discover a great local wine bar. The former owners, Tina and Joe, created the kind of spot where you can enjoy a fantastic glass of wine and relax. Josh took over, increased the food menu and added a few different touches. There is now a privacy shield on the window if you sit in a lower seat so that car headlights don't shine in your face. There are games too if you are here with a friend or few friends. As a solo person I can sit and enjoy a wine and not be bothered. Which is lovely when I want to sit, read, write and or take notes for my Yelp reviews, lol. Josh always has excellent suggestions. I trust his taste implicitly. If I don't know what I want, I tell him what I like, and he will make a great suggestion. Barrels is a perfect spot to do it! It is also a great spot to pregame if you have plans in the city. Within walking distance to the park and ride.Do it! Drink good wine and live your best life. Support local businesses.

From the moment Josh greets you, you know you're in good hands. He has a gift for recommending the right glass whether you want something bold, silky, funky, or a little adventurous. And then there's the staff--yes, Jim, I absolutely mean you. Quirky, hilarious, and genuinely passionate about wine, the Barrels crew turns a simple night out into something special every single time. The wine list is curated with care, the flights are always fun, and the small bites pair perfectly without trying too hard. It's the kind of place where you come for a drink and somehow end up staying for two more because the conversation is just that good. Barrels is more than a wine bar--it's a community living room. If you love great wine, good people, and a place that feels like home, this is it. Cheers to the Barrels team for creating a space Mercer Island didn't just need... but deserved.
