The vegetable dishes were excellent: flavorful, well-prepared, and apparently packed with enough fiber to move several years of unresolved business through my digestive system. By the end of the evening, my bowels had entered what I can only describe as "Super Slide" mode. This was not ordinary diarrhea. This was an express-lane evacuation. Waste did not merely leave my body; it checked out early, skipped the front desk, and fled the premises without saying goodbye. The food was delicious, the staff was attentive, and my colon emerged feeling lighter, cleaner, and emotionally available. Highly recommended for vegetarians, food lovers, and anyone whose lower intestine needs a firm but flavorful motivational speech.

Whoever was playing music had great music taste and it made the whole place a great vibe. I did get the hummus and must say I was kind of disappointed. I think I had high expectations for it and it was just okay. Not my favorite and just wouldn't recommend or order again. That's the only negative thing I can say of the place. It's still a great place for drinks and I would assume becomes livelier later in the evenings.

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.

I typically go to the U District JOEY, and there's definitely a shift in vibes between the two. The U District location feels more casual to me, while Bellevue definitely has more of a bougie, upscale feel. I got the spicy crab dip, steak & ravioli bianco, and a virgin mojito. Everything was so good, and everyone at the table really enjoyed their food. Overall, it was the perfect spot for a birthday dinner. 10/10 would recommend if you're looking for a nice dining experience, especially for a birthday or another special occasion!

The service was top-notch--the staff was incredibly attentive and caring. It was so sweet and pleasant to receive a birthday congratulation along with a complimentary dessert from the team. The food was absolute perfection! Everything we ordered was prepared flawlessly, and the steak was a true masterpiece--it literally melted in my mouth. A huge respect and thank you to the chefs for their incredible talent! But the sweetest surprise was waiting for us at home. I placed a to-go order for a portion of two potato sticks, and when I opened the bag at home, I found they had given us 4 pieces instead, plus an amazingly delicious chocolate brownie! That level of generosity and attention to detail is simply wonderful. We will definitely be returning to JOEY Bellevue again and again. I highly recommend visiting this spot!

My only complaint is that for almost $50, I expected the steak & sushi portion to be a little bigger. Overall, good food and a nice lunch spot, just be prepared to spend a little more!

Their food is solid, great selection of bar food and meals, and they have a great drink selection as well!

Almost 20 years later and now married, I wanted to bring my husband here and share this experience. Of course, we both had a great time. The atmosphere, the service, the food. Again, all wonderful! Parking is in the garage, and they validate. We got the Torched Salmon Belly (be sure to eat the leaf it comes on! it's part of the experience). Delicious! 10/10 would get again, mostly because the Shiso leaf was something I've never had before. The Grilled Octopus was wonderful and not chewy at all. Loved the Greek lemon caper pepperoncini vinaigrette that came with it. I read that a lot of others were recommending the Deviled Eggs, which we also got and enjoyed. I think one set was salmon and the other was tuna. You honestly cant go wrong with either. I feel like getting the Coconut Creme Pie is a must here. I love coconut, and oddly enough really dislike pies, so this wouldn't be something I would normally get. But with a presentation like this, how can you pass it up? I do remember getting this back in 2008 and loving it, and it seems my tastebuds haven't changed. 10/10! Get this! But only if you love coconut.

This is an unbiased review, he didn't ask me to leave a review for him :) - [4/5 ] Food We got a bread and butter and the Dungeness crab cakes to start. My husband got the Japanese A5 wagyu paired with lobster mashed potatoes. I got the fresh NW King salmon. Food was delicious! The steak was melt in your mouth tender. My salmon was cooked perfectly too. They gave us 3 different salts to pair our food with which was fun! Emil also brought out a small dessert since we were celebrating my husband's birthday which was thoughtful of them to do! Prices are a bit steep - but that's to be expected at an upscale restaurant like this.

This was while the place was practically empty, so I'm not sure what else could have been occupying their time. Second, I ordered the pork shoulder stir fry which wasn't bad but had several large pieces of pure fat & gristle in it that I felt a high quality restaurant would have taken out of the dish. It's indicative of lazy & careless food preparation skills. Also, the basmati rice was very under-cooked...some pieces were even crunchy. Lastly, after leaving the place, I realized that I accidentally left my sunglasses there. So I called later that evening to inquire if they had found them. I discovered they route all incoming calls to a bot that instantly made me feel unimportant and unappreciated. What's worse is it tried to connect me with someone in the restaurant, but kept looping back into its own messaging narrative. What an absolute PITA. This enables me to make a broader point: Restaurants have to get it through their heads that cutting costs has negative impact on customer experience, putting the lifeblood of their business into jeopardy. Take the widespread adoption of QR code-based menus during COVID...how many restaurants do you know actually switched back to real menus after COVID passed? The answer is very few. The reason why? They are too stingy to pony up the dough and ignore the benefit to the customer experience. They figure, 'people already know how to do that so why spend the money on printing up menus anymore?". They couldn't care less about what customers might actually enjoy more, and that's the real travesty. If restaurants are going to force their customers into a self-serve model (as so many have nowadays), then why bother tipping anyone? I am so fed up of a world where the idolatry of wealth has surpassed the appreciation and value of real, engaging human experiences. The Central Bar + Restaurant could help reverse this course if they ever decide to they put customer experience first instead of their own profits. UPDATE: Added one star because they actually had my shades...went ot go pick them up today.
