The atmosphere is iconic, the service is top notch, and the food is spectacular. I LOVE that the whole menu (mostly) is gluten free. That's how it should be at a Mexican place! As always, I started with the margarita flight. My fantastic server helped me select 4 that fit my preferences, and I'm so glad I listened to her. Each more delicious than the next. So many edible flowers too! Iconic. The hamaci ceviche was so fresh and delicious. I had to stop myself from licking the plate. The truffle taquitos were also lovely. I got the branzino enchilada as my main and WOW! Phenomenal texture and flavor. It all just worked. On top of this, the plating is gorgeous and the tables are intimate and cozy. Start to finish, they have mastered the customer experience and are able to deliver not only a delicious meal, but the feeling that you are special and cared for. Truly an incredible experience and one I will pursue again soon.

Stopped by for a work dinner. They have a cozy upstairs alcove, and the restaurant itself is…read morebeautifully decorated. - Lychee Drink (4/5): nice, fruity and refreshing! The lychee seemed to be covered in syrup so it was a lil mushy - Guac, Salsa and Chips (5/5): excellent guac, and the chips were def home made and had great crunch! - Enchilados de Pescado Ahumando (3.75/5): fish was a bit mushy, not as snappy, and the sauce was the main star. The side rice was ok- not as flavorful as I would've liked - Chicken Pastor Taco (3.5/5): friend got this and thought it was ok Good spot for the ambiance and drinks

I cannot say enough good things about this place. The experience started the moment we walked in…read more We were greeted by a staff member who asked if we had a reservation. 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.

Asa is one of those places you walk into once and instantly think, Oh... this is going to become a…read moreproblem. A beloved, delicious, keep-me-coming-back kind of problem. Locally owned, beautifully run, and absolutely overflowing with craft, Asa is everything a Mercer Island bar should be. The cocktails? Thoughtful, balanced, and downright impressive. The food? Elevated without ever feeling fussy. The atmosphere hits that rare sweet spot between date-night polished and neighborhood familiar. And then there's Zeke--the bar manager, the legend, the mixology wizard, my personal hero. Whether he's crafting something off-menu or guiding you toward your new favorite drink, Zeke and the Asa team deliver hospitality that sticks with you long after the last sip. Asa has quickly earned a spot among the Island's must-visit spots, and if you're lucky enough to grab a seat at the bar, you'll understand why. Come for the cocktails, stay for the people, and leave wondering when you can justify coming back again (hint: the answer is probably tomorrow). Cheers to Asa, to local ownership done right, and to the hero behind the bar.

Upon entering it is clearly more of a liquor bar than a coffee bar. I was really hoping for some…read moregood coffee and maybe a pastry, since I was pulled in by the sign outside boasting about "organic coffee" and bakery items. It's a very small space, they made it cozy and the patio looked great. I had a lot of time to look around because I waited so long. The bakery items were on a plate on the counter right next to the contactless pay thing. There was no cover, or barrier between the pastries and the many people coming to the counter. I've seen buffets that have better distance and covering between people and food. There seemed to be only one barista and one bartender. More people kept coming in, At one point the bartender asked the barista if he could help her, though he wasn't trained. Seems unorganized and coffee was mediocre at best. If you want a cocktail you'd be in the right place, but a cafe this place is not.

This fizzy drink station is located in the food court at Lincoln Square. Looks alot like a bar they…read moreplaced in the middle of the food court as they have bar seating that spans the front. The menu shows off many colorful fruit flavored carbonated beverages all of which sound delicious. Sometimes its really good and addicting. Other times ive been, ive gotten a few drinks that were flat and very bland flavor as if they skipped adding some of the listed flavors. I dont fully understand why. The concept is simple, they use soda and add a scoop of fruit pulp, a pump or so of syrup, and a sprinkle of dried fruit bits. I could be wrong, but I feel like i noticed they use large bottle of the carbonated drink to pour many drinks, but they go flat over time. Which means some people will get flat drinks. On my last visit i ordered several drinks. One was bland and flat.I tried to get them to remake my flat drink, but they warned me it would still be flat. I insisted as my other drinks we had taste better having more carbonated spark and sweet juicy flavors. They remade it using the same bottle of soda and it was just as flat and bland the second time so I just tossed the drink and sipped on my families drinks that tasted amazing. Idk if i would recommend this location as it seems to be so hit or miss. Maybe just make sure they use fresh soda and also that they give you all the mentioned flavors. Hey, maybe on my last visit they just ran out of flavor and fresh soda and didnt want to tell me. When they make it right, its absolutely worth a try.

Club Seltzer proves that you don't need alcohol in order to concoct a delicious drink. Their…read morerefreshments are flavored with real fruit and don't include any added sugar, making them a healthy alternative to sodas, with much more pizazz than just a can of sparkling water. Nine enticing creations make up their menu, all of them being fruity and vibrant in color. Ordering is very simple on the kiosk as you just select your drink and also choose an Adaptogen, which is their version of a health "boost". A few of the Adaptogens are free of cost (I selected the immunity one), but other more premium options will cost a dollar or two extra. According to the staff member, most of the Adaptogens are flavorless. All drinks are $7 each and only come in one size. I've visited on two different occasions and both times, my seltzer was ready in just a couple minutes. + PINEAPPLE BREEZE: A refreshing combination of pineapple purée, passion fruit purée, freeze-dried passion fruit and a thin slice of dried pineapple. Both fruity flavors were balanced; I could taste the bright pineapple and the juicy tropical passion fruit. The seltzer was crisp and perfect to enjoy in the Seattle sun. The freeze-dried passion fruit dissolved over time, strengthening the intensity of its flavor with each sip. + RUBY REFRESHER: This drink included cherry purée in addition to lychee. The menu stated that it also includes coconut, but the employee who helped us said that they have never added coconut to the drink, so I'd suggest that they update the description. Additionally, she said that they were out of the actual lychee fruit which would have otherwise been placed on top, so she substituted with some freeze-dried strawberries. This said, the drink strayed from what was displayed on the menu, but it was still good. The cherry flavor tasted very natural and the lychee flavoring brought a juicy sweetness. With this being located within the Lincoln Food Hall, these seltzers are somewhat of a splurge, but are the perfect addition to round out any meal.

Cocktail bar and lounge in Juanita Village that opened in 2025. Has street parking, and the retail…read moregarage in the same building has free parking for the first 2-3 hours or so. It's at the corner of one of the buildings. Dark, mid sized interior with some cool neon lights and light up marble pattern bar counter. Not very busy when I went at happy hour/dinner time on a Friday night, but the place is busier later at night on Friday/Saturday during the warmer months. Sometimes they have events and DJs. Sat at the bar and tried out some happy hour specials. Got the Korean sauce wings ($12) and cheese truffle fries ($8). Decent amount of fries, definitely has cheese flavor but not that much truffle oil aroma. I liked the wings which you get 6 per order. They weren't fried, but rather tender and juicy. Sauce was agreeable. Definitely enough food for my dinner. As for the drinks, I got the rosemary mule which is Moscow mule with some rosemary herb. The copper mug they use is good sized. Tasted refreshing although could feel the alcohol afterwards. Also tried a corpse reviver no. 2, which was a little sweet but has a punch. Cocktail prices are not cheap outside of happy hour, in the upper teens. Overall, was glad I tried the place out. Will drop by for happy hour once in a while.

First time checking out thirst trap. For a Saturday night,…read moreit wasn't packed at all, which was lowkey kinda nice so we could actually talk over drinks haha. Their playlist was super chill, too--mostly 90s rnb/hiphop. The drinks were both tasty and strong (and a bit on the pricier end lol). I opted for their mezcal cocktail while my homegirl got a s'more's type martini I think. Their menu also offers food and wine, but we opted to just try some drinks and bounce. Overall, a cool place to try out.

We were hungry so we ordered quite a bit: Pani Puri shots, Mumbai crossroads, Biryani, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Garlic Naan. I'm pretty basic so I ordered the Tikka Masala and I loved it! We loved every dish and I liked that the portions were generous enough. We were the only ones there when we got seated so we got our food pretty quickly. I'd love to go back and try their other dishes!

We sat for about 10 minutes and had Cliff pour us water and walked away. He then stood in the corner where we were seated and ate what looked like a mango. We waited till he was done and waved him down to take our drink orders. We got our drinks and then he disappeared. We observed other servers taking care of their tables and being present but our server was not to be found. Cliff then appeared back with what looked like tea and stood and drank his tea. We again waited and this experience felt like a prank where there is a hidden camera, waiting for our next move. We were really ready to get up and leave. Slowest service ever. Finally cliff came and we ordered food. Food came out with 15min of ordering. Cod took a little longer. Cod and lamb chops were the best meal of the day. Cod was cooked in such a good gravy and very tasty and so was the lamb. We ordered a variety of naan which was a little chewy. Dessert was the sticky pudding which was very nice. Overall this place is pricey and tip is included so you can't except great service. I would go back here for drinks. But our experience today was awful. Maybe a more engaged server would have changed our experience for the better.

Chay Concept: Vietnamese Cuisine Reimagined…read more Chay Concept is a revelation. This is high-end Vietnamese, but not what you're expecting. If you're craving pho, look elsewhere--this is high-concept cuisine with flawless execution. The kind of place that challenges what you think Vietnamese food can be. Here's what makes it remarkable: it's entirely vegetarian with vegan options available. And somehow, that constraint becomes the canvas for extraordinary creativity. Both the food and drinks showcase genuine artistry--calling it a masterpiece isn't hyperbole. Whether you're vegetarian, vegan, or neither, this place deserves your attention. The inventiveness and technical skill on display transcend dietary categories. They've earned a customer for life. I'd suggest everyone experience what they're doing here at least once. You won't forget it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

This is one of two or three restaurants/bars inside Bellevue Club…read more First off, the service was amazing. I think our server's name is Peyton. It looked like she was the only server today covering the entire seating area (other than the bar) and she remembered all of my group's drinks and somehow showed up whenever we needed attention. Efforts way beyond expectations. In fact, this is one of the main reasons I am giving this venue a 5 star review. Our food was good too (see photo). I just wish they had more variety of beer. It doesn't even have to be on tap but even can/bottle options. Their liquor selection is excellent (especially bourbon!) and it seemed like they offer decent wines too. I don't know much about wine though. As far as I know, you do not need to be a member of Bellevue Club to dine here. No one from my party today was (but I was here for an event and I invited my friends over for happy hour afterwards). The prices are great during happy hour and even non-happy hour prices aren't expensive in my humble opinion - especially given the location. Highly recommended if you're in the area.
