Brianna the server is consistently AWESOME!!! Michele the Hostess is always so friendly. I have consistently ordered Lobster roll most of the time. This was always SUPER DELICIOUS-HARDLY ANY OTHER RESTAURANT CARRIES THIS ITEM-THE COD IS ALSO DELICIOUS!!! My husband's favorite is the Quiche -he has also tasted steak frite and he loved it too. Our guest had a difficult time hearing cuz the sound barrier was very loud, however we decided to eat in the Bar section where it is much more quiet!! This is our most favorite place and we have been bringing new customers to enjoy this great food!! read more

Second visit here, actually forgot I'd been here before. Firstly, the menu prices on their website are vastly different than in person. Steak is $20 more. Secondly, their online menu might not be up-to-date, it wasn't for me and they didn't have the thing I was really excited for. I ordered the mushroom risotto with spring vegetables but no mushrooms. I can't have them and they said that would be ok and there would be asparagus instead. Food came and there's mushrooms everywhere. So I send it back but now my partner has a meal and I'm just sitting here. Second risotto comes but no asparagus, just a few pieces of cauliflower, diced bell peppers and no flavor. I didn't say anything because I was over it. But my partner mentions it (when our waiter finally checks in on us and I'm halfway done). He offers us a side of asparagus, we accept. I mix it in with the risotto, much better. Bill comes, were charged for the side of asparagus. I'm happy to pay for service & food but never of them were worth it here. The service was bad, my partner and I were without drinks for a while (including water). Side note, the bread service is free but you have to know to ask for it because it won't be offered. read more

We had a great evening celebrating my wife's new job. The King Salmon special was great and I'm a fan of duck with which is on the menu, it was great as well. Not to many places serve duck. Our server Bree was great, she recommended a great Pinot from Oregon and referred us to the bar that the owner Bobby runs a few doors down. I got to meet Bobby today since I left my CC at the bar. He was really helpful and was smiling the whole time while helping me. read more

Great for lunch. Good food, great service and even good pours. Been here for dinner which was good as well but love the lunch vibe. read more

The worse experience. Food not tasty at all. We ordered couple drinks, cod fish and steak with asparagus, and ask for well done meat. We got meat with blood inside. Very overpriced! Not recommended. We paid $200 bucks for nothing, very disappointing. read more

Food is great and the wine selections are amazing! The restaurant seems to be full all the time. It can get a bit noisy but overall a great place to dine. read more

We have been going to Bis on Main for years. It is our go to place for all anniversaries and date nights. We enjoy sitting at the bar. Cocktails are amazing! The food is always impeccable. The servers are kind, knowledgeable and responsive. I am a bit of a wine snob and the wine menu is also fantastic. Thank you Bis for all of the memories! read more

This restaurant is only good for drinking and some menus items. The food is just ok and everything is very pricey. The truffle fries is from McDonalds. The service is just ok. The seating and interior decorating is too formal for me. If you want to spend time drinking wine, eating ok food, and paying too much for then because it's corporate card, then this is the place for you. Otherwise, you will not miss much by skipping it. read more

I hosted a private lunch for 28 people at Bis on Main and I couldn't have been happier! I worked with Lisa to get the menu planned and button up all the details in advance and she was incredibly responsive, sweet, and easy to communicate with. The day of our event the room was beautifully set. Custom menus were printed and the servers were some of the best we've ever worked with at any restaurant. The kitchen team got all of our food out at the same time and it was hot, well seasoned, and delicious. I can't recommend Bis any higher! Kudos to this awesome team, both front and back of the house. read more

Food and ambience was good, service was slow. Only disappointing thing was the waiter boxed our food for us and forgot to put all of it in the box and we did not realize until we were home. read more

We had the best time at Bis last night! The 3 of us & our dog sat outside & had amazing food & service & felt Covid safe Leslie served us & we shared the tomato mozzarella appetizer which was fresh & delicious, then we had crab cakes which were so filled with crab & we finished with the crispy chicken with basmati rice & asparagus- the chicken was so tasty & moist! Definitely recommend this gem in Old Bellevue! read more

Visiting friends and celebrating my birthday, they could not have chosen a better restaurant for the double celebration. Brianna, our server, her genuine smile and impeccable service, attention was the frosting to a meal that was well prepared and had fresh ingredients, they were also so accommodating in changes we made as my husband has some food restrictions read more

Very good food. A little expensive but on Main Street in Bellevue that's expected service was adequate nothing special did enjoy the salad. We ordered wine but it never came. Did like the crème brûlée for $120 for three for lunch without alcohol a little pricey, for kind of a medium. read more

2 stars only because the servers were good and the place seemed warm. I ordered a take out for the molten chocolate souffle and the apple tarte tan. The souffle was over cooked and the ice cream was too big for the souffle itself. Also the flavor was average. The tarte tan was disappointing too. Undercooked apple under a small undercooked piece of puff pastry with a gigantic scoop of ice cream. This was the worst $22 spent on desserts. read more

I understand most restaurants can have a difficult night. Therefore my next review may be better. TBD IF I try again. I made a reservation 1.5 hours before arriving on a cold and rainy Friday night. Glad they could accommodate a 2 top. Quickly seated. Waiter was fine. My guests food arrived 10 or more minutes before mine. We starter to share. Yummy. Finally got attention from the staff. Soon after my dish arrived but was undercooked. Asked the waiter to change the order to what what she had graciously been sharing with me. It was delicious but a tad undercooked. Will be better after reheated for tomorrow's lunch. If I was the manager of this place I would have comped the customer in someway. Removed 1 or both glasses of wine or something. read more

Food here is excellent. Every dish I have tried has it's own identity. The other night I ordered their: Crispy Garlic Chicken that came with garlic mashed potatoes and french beans. The portion was big and everything was seasoned perfectly. I wasn't able to finish all the chicken so I had it boxed up and I ate it for lunch the next day. Let me tell you the chicken was still super moist the next day after I had heated it up! Yummm. and also the Rigatoni Bolognese. Yum yum yum! Probably the best bolognese i've had in a while. Then I finished my dinner with some delicious dessert. Chocolate souffle with vanilla ice cream was DELICIOUS! read more

Bis on Main - A menu to look at while you are waiting for a table. - New American Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

So disappointing. Service was terrible. Food was cold and undercooked. Waiter was overwhelmed. Would not recommend.

Great local place in Downtown Bellevue. Enjoyed a drink at the bar with my buddy before his wife joined us where we moved to the dining room and enjoyed a great meal. Bartender was great along with the staff in the dining room. Just enough attention without being suffocated and yet there when needed. Perfect! We had the Lamb Chop, Filet and Scallops. All well prepared and good size portions. Finished it off with their Chocolate Ice Cream. Look forward to another trip up here so I can go back and try something new. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Great location and food. I would say that the cocktails were my favorite out of the entire experience. I would recommend this place and will be a returning customer. read more

I have to say that the food here is really good. However, the service is what I'm leaving the review about. I took my friend there to treat her to a nice birthday dinner. My friend is black, and I am white. Neither my friend nor I had been to Bis on Main before. We had a reservation, and in it I left a comment that it was a birthday dinner. None of the wait staff mentioned happy birthday or asked whose birthday it was, but that's the least of the issues. We had 2 waiters that night, one was training the other who was a new hire. Waiter 1 came, greeted, and began to explain the specials of the evening. I noticed that he only made eye contact with me, only spoke to me, didn't acknowledge my friend. I noted it as odd and started to pay close attention. Waiter 2 came shortly after, made eye contact with me and asked me how I was doing, and managed to glance at my friend. Then a little later Waiter 1 came back to check on us and ask if we were ready to order, again he only made eye contact with me, and when it came time to take my friend's order, he didn't even look at her - he looked down at his note pad and asked what she wanted. At this point I fully realized what was happening. I asked my friend if she wanted to leave, but she said to stay. Our salad was delivered to our table, and again - only making eye contact with me and only speaking to me - I was asked if either of us would like pepper on the salad. So I made the point to ask her if she would like some pepper. I was trying to give the hint that the staff needed to be treating her better. They didn't take the hint. Throughout the whole evening they NEVER asked her a single question, and I kept asking her the questions first before giving my answer, because if I answered first, they would just walk away without getting hers. Towards the end of the evening it got to the point where, when I would get asked a question, I would gesture with my hands towards my friend to force the waiter to ask HER the question, THEN I would give my answer after she gave hers. They still never looked at her or acknowledged her without me forcing it. When we were finished, I paid, tipped for the quality of the food, and then went up front to talk to the manager. I calmly explained what had happened, and he reacted in shock. He was very apologetic and said that the owner would be in the next morning, and that he would talk to the owner then. He also assured me that there would be a conversation with the wait staff that served us that evening. He took my name and email address as well. I told him we weren't looking to get anything from him, but rather just wanted them to be better. Well it's been a week since and I haven't received any correspondence from the restaurant. No confirmation that there even was a conversation, no official apology or reassurance from the manager or the owner - nothing. Complete radio silence. Which is why I'm leaving this review, because it's 2021 and NO ONE should EVER be made to feel unwelcome because of the color of their skin. This story deserves to be heard, especially since the restaurant has chosen to ignore it. read more

Came for a birthday dinner with the family and the service could not have been better. Everyone was very pleasant and attentive, even to my kid. It's a local restaurant, which is great, but without good food and service, they would not survive. Bis on Main has both. The menu is pretty big and you have your choice of pasta, meat or fish dishes. Would highly recommend trying this place. Did not know about the free valet parking in the back parking lot but will have to try that next time. read more

Always did love this place. now even more to love. They welcome dogs in their outdoor seating. Even whipped up a dessert for Bear's 6th Birthday. Washington needs to get more dog friendly, thank you Bis for setting the example! read more

Bis on Main - Bear eating dessert - New American Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Special occasion dinner out and haven't been to Bis since 2021. Good marks for the food: green salads were creative with unique and delicious dressings, and leg of lamb (new to the menu) was a hit with my husband. My filet was done perfectly, though I've never been served a $70 filet cut in two pieces. So odd. Ordered a $$$ bottle of French wine and were a bit surprised that in an upscale restaurant and for a bottle of that caliber, that they didn't offer to decanter the wine (not too mention the waiter broke the cork table-side while uncorking :/). I do like the new updated decor of the restaurant, but if you can at all avoid it, do NOT let them seat you in one of the 2-tops along the wall just past the hostess stand. Staff whizzing by constantly- just not a good experience AT ALL. You are basically sitting in the walkway. In my opinion, they just shouldn't have tables there. So overall, good marks for food quality and taste, but lost points on wine service and table/location/lack of ambiance. read more

Bis has been our favorite place for years. Tonight...mediocre. The medium rare steaks were overcooked. The artwork that formerly adorned all the walls - no longer there, but all the empty picture hooks remained on the bare walls . Walls that needed a coat of new paint. The toilet seat was broken in the women's restroom. I actually almost slid off....that's a first. And I only weigh 105#. And the bathroom counter was dirty. On the plus side, service was fantastic. read more

Takeout salad nicoise was perfect for a summer picnic to celebrate a friend's birthday. The staff was masked, and food prepped right on time for my pick up. The tuna was perfectly seared, and large enough to have a significant raw portion. The amount was generous. The egg yolks were perfectly soft, not chalky at all. One of the best nicoise salads I've had. My only request would be for anchovies. I think they subbed in capers, as they are probably agreeable to more people. Perhaps giving an option or two on the side. read more

I had a stone ( a rock) in my cioppino! An actual rock. Instead of an apology, the waitress joked if I tasted it! That did not fly well with me. I kept my calm as it was a friends bday! Never going back. Sure they took it off my check but hell, have you ever had a big piece of rock served next to a glass of expensive champagne? read more

My first time to this restaurant and was very impressed. I was with 6 co-workers and found the vibe to be very nice, both inside the restaurant and the outdoor seating area. We had multiple appetizers, including a seared ahi that was delicious. The salads were great as well. I ordered the rib eye special, along with 2 of my co-workers. Was sad to hear they only had 1 left and even sadder when I lost the rock-paper-scissor for the last one. I went with plan 'b' which was a NY steak cooked perfectly medium-rare. . By far the thickest NY steak of my meat eating career, and arguably the best. It was so good I've thought about it multiple times since visiting this wonderful restaurant. I'm often apprehensive to order a steak that is not in a steakhouse - not this time. I highly recommend this restaurant. By the way, the fried Brussels sprouts were amazing too. Service was wonderful as well and loved the desserts (crème brûlée, home made ice cream and chocolate cake - shared amongst the crew). read more

Our favorite local bar, and a great dinner as well. White linen service, fantastic cocktails, amazing bartender, and the best truffle fries anywhere on the Eastside. Love their steak bites as well. read more

Good food but our server was just terrible. Anthony made it seem like we were such a burden, was always rushing off to the point where we struggled to order drinks, appetizers, the main course, and dessert. It was my aunt's 70th birthday and we are pretty easy to please but he had better things to do apparently. He also claimed he couldn't take a group picture because of covid. Dude... please. Dumbest thing I ever heard after he's touched our plates, silverware, and of course the check before and after we did. Lazy. Insolent. And overall we had a bad experience. read more

Good service, ambiance and food. That being said, prices are out of this world expensive since being sold. Ravioli is $59 . Wow! Can't really afford the place anymore. Dinner for 3 with wine was $425. Didn't have dessert, split a salad and everyone had pasta dishes. Steaks (which we didn't order ) are $72. Eeks! read more

These guys are thieves I went in with my wife to celebrate her birthday. I was charged $183.70 which I was totally fine with we even got a text from the bank for the $183.70. Few days later, we got another text from the bank for a charge of $203.70. They added $20.00 that we didn't approve, I called them and left a voice mail no one had returned my call. With a place that pricy, I expected for them to save your item if you forget it; that didn't happen in my case. I left two bluetooth ear bugs and called them about it no one has call me back. I am never, ever going to go back there. read more

Service was great...food was decent..wine selection was ok (website and actual selections aren't up to date) The reason for the 1* was simple. AlI I have to say is the old grumpy bastard who sat me almost made me walk out. If not for the server who interacted with me I would have. Maybe it's time to retire? Here's a lesson most learn at much younger age. Don't judge a book by its cover. read more

I have been to Bis on Main several times for dinner and never had any issues - in fact, it's great with vegan options, which is why I always go there with two of my friends from work. Unfortunately, what happened last night will ensure I never go back and I will make it clear on several other social media outlets what happened so that others do not have to experience what I did. After waiting almost 10-15 minutes to be seated by the owner/host (no other waiters could help me and he was downstairs on the phone), the owner finally returned with barely a thank you or acknowledgement for how long I had waited. He asked for my name and when I told him my last name was Martin, he snickered to himself and repeated my name out loud, as if he was questioning it. I am Chinese-American and am married to a Caucasian male with the last name Martin. This is not only common but should not be a surprise to someone who works in the hospitality industry. After asking him if there was some confusion (and giving him a chance to apologize or SOMETHING) he proceeded to continuing repeating my name and said something to the affect of "Ok, if that's what you say it is" and started directing me to my table. It took everything in my being not to commit a RHONJ offense and flip a table in the restaurant. And had it not been for the fact that my friend is vegan, we would have left. We stayed for the rest of the meal and it took almost an hour to receive our food. Needless to say, I am appalled that this type of behavior occurred in Bellevue by an owner of a nice restaurant. This is not something anyone should have to experience and I thought of so many witty things I should have said to him after the fact. I will never dine there again and I hope others will stop frequenting this place as well. read more

We've had of late a variety of 15 to 25 family person celebrations held at Carmines (2 1/2 star=slow service and a spoiled fish stew), Capital Grill( 3 stars as some food was cold) and Bis (5stars=fast service and v good food). read more

We are visiting Seattle and tonight was our last night, so we wanted to make sure we would have something good for the last night. And I'm going to be honest it wasn't that good. The meals weren't that great. That's all I have to say. read more

Food was great. Server was spread a little thin with new outdoor dining. Owner was rude to my wife upon entry and seating.

Great food and service even during Covid! We went here for our wedding anniversary and had a great time. The waitstaff was excellent and friendly. The food was excellent. My husband had the Filet Mignon and I had the famous Garlic Chicken. We will certainly be back! read more

My husband had the ahi salad for lunch today and now has horrible food poisoning. I called the restaurant and they were completely dismissive. Hmm. Maybe we won't come back. read more

Really nice atmosphere and great service! However, the food was a little underwhelming for the price. We got the Crispy Garlic Chicken which was really salty, but the side of mashed potatoes were delicious. We also got the Rigatoni Bolognese which was good. Overall nice ambience and excellent service, but expected more out of the quality food for the price tag. read more

Disappointed... Average food for the price. Worst Bloody Mary I've ever had! Other amazing looking restaurants right on same block. Would never return. Good service but not worth food quality and pricing. read more
