Maybe 4.5 star. Ambience was solid, and the service was great. Food tasted really great while the flatbreads were hot. But not at all a bad option late Friday night. You have limited options so I will take it.

Popped in here for a quick meeting with a friend on a week night. The place was busy but not over crowded. They smoke their old fashioneds which was a really nice touch and the Dubai chocolate inspired dessert was divine.

Gastropub in downtown Bellevue. Pretty big space, cream colored interior. Was actually fairly busy for dinner in midweek. They have a selection of adult beverages, and most of the food menu items are meant to be shared. Has a variety of meat, seafood and vegetable dishes. We were a big enough group, so we tried a whole bunch of things from the menu. My favorites were their flatbreads and duck breast. Flatbread was nice and soft on the inside. The duck breast has a nice crispy skin. Also had escargot, which I haven't had in a while, and they were decent. Portions are not big, so you do have to order more dishes to fill up. Overall bill with gratuity was $75 per person, so getting up there in price although not super pricey.

We ordered perfectly and enjoyed everything we ordered. Flatbread with brie, blasted broccoli, shrimp and chicken chorizo, mezzi platter, short ribs, and flan with dark chocolate cake. Service was a bit uneven, but it didn't matter. We weren't in a hurry. Very yummy food, delicious cocktails, and excellent wines by the glass. What not to love?

Great place to get bar bites. I love the atmosphere of this restaurant. We got the pork belly and a flatbread, which was perfect for two people. The star of the show was a pork belly, amazing flavors, and the pork belly was cooked perfectly as well.The flatbread was pretty good too. Overall, I highly recommend and would come back.

There is a parking garage, you can park in. The parking will be validated for 2 hours once you get in the restaurant. We had reservations so our table was ready when we arrived and were seated right away. There are high ceilings, candles on tables, lots of natural light and it wasn't loud even with big groups which was nice so you could chat without shouting. The service was good, our waitress took our order but it was served by someone else. There were a couple of times it took a while for drink refills. Once the food started coming out, it came out quickly. I really enjoyed the French fries, the short ribs and the duck wings with the spicy sauce. I can't speak for the desserts other than presentation and they looked yummy. There is varying sizes for the portions so it is a little hard to know how much to order. I think the dressing for the salads were bland. There wasn't a lot of flavor to the pork tacos.

Black Bottle used to be one of my favorite restaurants that I would frequently visit since I just live a minute away. But as time went on, the quality of the food diminished. The flatbreads are still tasty but literally everything else is just so mediocre -- and not to mention, always, always lukewarm or cool. It's really as if they precook the dishes (I'm sure they know what the popular dishes are) and precook them ahead of time or leave it on the line which might make sense since 90% of the dishes came out cold. My table of 4 all commented on how quickly the food came out once we ordered - it wasn't even a 10 min wait -- we ordered 5 dishes. The broccolis were half the size it used to be and they came out cool. Not cold, at least. But cool. We got the pork tacos and fish tacos and both proteins were not hot either. We ordered the ravioli and that came out semi hot -- the sauce was hot but the inside of the ravioli was cool AND hard. Just odd technique or lazy cooking. And it's becoming more and more dissatisfying. At one point I did wonder if we'd get sick from the food if it was just sitting out there precooked and cooling. It's becoming harder to justify coming here anymore, which is sad bc the food used to be really solid and I love the environment. I shouldn't have to say this but the food needs to be made to order.

Black Bottle is located in the heart of Bellevue Downtown and has a great ambience. It's a perfect place for a friend or to meet someone. They have great vegetarian options as well, which was a big plus for me. I've been here twice and the food and service has been great on both occasions. I've tried the Crispy Cauliflower with the Kolkata sauce, fries, pear and gorgonzola and the brie and Leek Flatbreads and the stuffed ravioli. All of it has been great but I'd recommend the ravioli and the pear flatbread! The brie one is probably acquired taste and that was my least favorite. Overall, a great place!

We went to Black Bottle after having not been back for a while. Glad we did. There were a couple new dishes, and a few we recognized. We ordered the cauliflower, tacos, pork belly, and the halloumi. Our favorite was the tacos. They were fresh and delicious! I had a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, which was a nice complement to the meal. Service was amazing. They were very attentive and food was nice & hot. We made reservations a few days in advance, but didn't seem like too much of an issue. Parking is located off of 10th and kind of hidden, but there is a sign for Black Bottle parking. There are also instructions on the website. It is free for two hours when validated. We had a great time and will definitely go back!

Prosciutto And Bechamel,
Jay S.

My order was prosciutto flatbread. The flatbread was moist and it has creamy texture underneath the cheese. I asked for chili pepper flasks, adding little kick. Kelfte Lamb mezze plate with extra side of flatbread. The hummus was creamy, but not as much flavor. The lamb meatballs were okay, it is on the dry side. It is good with tzatziki. My coworker ordered fish taco, it was recommended over pulled pork tacos. The good portion is medium range, if you are hungry you might need to order two dishes. I have a bite of the short ribs. This dish does take longer than other dishes. It was tender, but it was in salty side for me. Our waiter was good. He was friendly and put up with our group. The restaurant atmosphere was pleasant. Drinks were also good. Our hostess was not very friendly. We felt she was rude. She took our menu and left us with two menus for group of people who have not ordered yet. Her attitude did not help. We don't know her name but our dinner was on Saturday 6/1. But don't want to give the restaurant a bad review based on her.

Vegetarian options are too less and taste is bland. But they have good options for cocktails. Service was super quick. Host was sweet. Ambience is great, they have decors and some of their tables are vintage and gives aesthetic look.

Pear gorgonzola flatbread, pino gregio, Major Danger. Fantastic!!
Jordan D.

Pear, gorgonzola, pesto, and caramelized onion flat bread was outstanding! Major Danger in the background also delicious.

Seattle east-siders, tired of always going to Seattle for fun night hangouts? This place will convince your west-side folks to come over. I've been here a couple times: a date and sister night out. Better ambiance for more intimate smaller chit chats and not louder celebrations in my opinion. But they have adequate seating for small and large parties. Do not be fooled if the place is empty. They have 2 happy hours periods. Went at the 9-closing happy hour. Food was great. The best dish was the assorted greens and I don't think you can go wrong with any of the flatbreads. Drinks are not on the sweet side. If you like sweet, club-like drinks- I say use that money on one of their dishes. I'd say go during the darker hours as the ambiance is much better and bonus points if you come during the Christmas/festive season as the decor here is beautiful. Park in the building's parking garage. Black Bottle will validate for 2 hours. (I don't know why people are giving this place bad ratings over paying over $50 parking.) The same parking garage has free 1hr retail parking that doesn't need validation too. This place is also great to go after checking out Bellevue Collections mall- park in the mall parking garage, shop, and visit Black Bottle. Black Bottle is at the block across the street from The Container Store. Very walkable.

Are dogs allowed on the outdoor patio?

I hope not!

Is this venue noisy?

We were there on a Fri evening. Modest crowd, no problem with noise. But lots of hard surfaces, so I would guess if it is packed it would be loud, but no worse than most places that are crowded.

I love going to local brewpubs and microbreweries when traveling. So when I saw this location of…read moreBellevue's largest microbrewery, my wife and I had to stop in for an early lunch with a sampling of beers. The food and beers were great. As the name states, the very large brewpub is located in the Spring District, inside the park/greenspace. The district used to be an industrial area, that has been transformed into a mixed residential/retail area, centered around the light rail transit station. The brewery makes great use of the outdoor space, with a lot of seating for an impromptu biergarten on nice days. This Tuesday was a typical March day in Seattle, which meant dining inside was a must. We ended up finding street parking a couple of blocks away, though they do have validated parking: in the underground parking right below (with under 10 dedicated spots) and the bigger Spring district Parking garage nearby. Amanda was our server, and she was super friendly, giving us suggestions. They have a large selection of house brewed beers, and we chose eight of the non-IPA ones as two flights, consisting of 4 5oz glasses (assuming it cost $12). We tried the Harvest Boom P.O.G. Wheat (this was our favorite one), Bothell Brown (liked this one), Snake Charmer Irish Red (strangely very mild for a Red), ChugMeister Mazren Lager (my second favorite). Second flight consisted of 1882 Pre-Prohibition Lager (very crisp and light), Muckle Flugga Scotch Ale (really like Scotch Ale in general, though hard to find on the West Coast...thought this version was OK), Schwarzbier Black Lager (different, very mild, really enjoyed), and a Der Kommissar Pilsner (super light with no body). I don't think I've been able to choose two flights of non-IPA in-house beers before...they keep a very large selection here, and it's worth coming to, just for the draft beers. We ordered some bar food that both of us like, and each plate was excellent. Shareable thick cut fries ($11) was very filling, especially since they were fried very well and were sturdy enough for dipping. Got Scotch Ale Chili ($13) and it was hearty, with plenty of pinto beans and good ground beef, with not too much chili powder. It came with housemade tortilla chips, which were thin and excellent. Wanted to try their beef birria, ordered their birria Nachos ($19) and it was really well prepared. Everything was diced into small pieces, used a really good beer cheese sauce and the the fresh guacamole was solid. For a brewpub, it has excellent bar food. The portions were large...we ended up taking about half of it home. Next time, will stay longer and try some of their main course dishes. The room was modern with plenty of windows for natural light. The central bar is huge, but there are plenty of bar tables as well, letting patrons decide how they want to dine/hang. My only complaint was that the payment process was at the table with only a tablet, and gave me no chance to look at the receipt. The total seemed right and was expecting a chance for receipt, but Amanda grabbed the tablet after my tip and signature before I could ask for a digital receipt, and then disappeared. I suppose I could have tracked her down, but getting a receipt after a meal should not be that hard. Can't remember the last time I was out, and couldn't get a receipt easily...would have made this review a bit easier.

The portion was huge, and the flavors mixed well. We were kinda tucked in a booth near the restrooms so service was sporadic, but still very friendly.

We went through the extensive beer list and found a couple really good beers, in our opinion, that turned out to be really good beers. I ended up having a second beer, which turned out to be just as good as the earlier two beers. My only complaint, was that it was before happy hour was done, and no one asked us if we wanted any food. Not that we needed any, but it would've been nice to have been asked. Good job overall.
