Well, Civility & Unrest definitely gives you a classy, upscale bar vibe as soon as you walk in…read more Unfortunately, the main reason I'm giving them only 2 stars is their extremely uncomfortable seating, especially considering their premium pricing. It just doesn't make sense. I've been here before and have always sat in the front area, which has comfortable cushioned seating. This time, we were seated in the back area, and the chairs there were honestly so uncomfortable. After sitting for about two hours, all of us literally had backaches. When you're charging premium prices for food and drinks, comfortable seating should be a basic part of the experience. As you can see from our bill, we spent around $300, and at that price point, sitting on cheap, uncomfortable chairs really takes away from the high-end bar experience. We actually could have stayed longer and ordered more, but the seating made all of us so uncomfortable that it completely killed the vibe. We also shared this feedback with our server. That being said, I do want to specifically mention that the staff was wonderful and the service was 5/5. Our server, Andrew, was great! He recommended a drink to my friend based on her taste preferences, and she absolutely loved it. Overall, the staff was very nice, attentive, and fun. I really hope Civility & Unrest considers upgrading the seating in the back area to comfortable cushioned chairs or sofas. It would make such a huge difference and would better match the otherwise classy atmosphere and premium pricing.

In the City of Mercer Island there are bars and then there are places to chat, and have beverage…read more One of these places is Asa! Owned by actor, celebrity and entrepreneur, Hill Harper, Asa is named after the historic Asa Mercer, from the family of Seattle's original founders from the 1800's. Today, Asa is, almost literally, at the center of everything in Mercer Island. Generous amount of street parking. Quick access to I-90, great beverages, and a wonderful and personable staff. This place is not a bar, but a modern neighborhood lounge. It is complete with fire pit, wood panels, and a unique character in both its outdoor seating, and indoor tabled lounge, that it would be difficult to duplicate in any city. Craft beer? It's there. Diet Coke from a can with lime? They got you. Signature cocktail? They have it. Uniquely designed menu inspired from vinyl records?? Asa has that too. The only thing is food. Asa is not restaurant. But it does have a very tasty handmade charcuterie platter that definitely hits the spot. Bring friends, or come to contemplate your thoughts at the bar with a staff that actually cares about your well being. You're probably already a regular after reading this review, and not even know it!! Which means... you have to stop by. Enjoy the drinks and the atmosphere, at Asa!!!!! See you there!!

I haven't been there for lunch or experienced their morning routines to comment on that. I visit in the evenings when it isn't overly busy - a challenging feat - and sat at both the bar and in the lounge area. The service has been excellent, but patience is a critical skill here as the two times I've been here there is one person attending to everyone. I have not visited during the summer with their patio open, but something tells me the addition of another with the patio keeps the server to customer ratio the same. Not that one should be in a rush at a cocktail bar! This isn't some place you dash into and dash out of. This is where you go to kick back, relax, and sip.

So much so , that we planned our evening for our group around starting here for a couple hours for drinks ... To show open online and not even have the courtesy to post a note or explanation or even when you will "actually" be open ... not a good start as to how customers are likely viewed :( Thur 5:15p EDIT*** Went next door to local shops and restaurants inquiring about the status here at thirst trap ... WELL BEWARE - apparently they've been closed since December, rift and break up in ownership due to business shenanigans... and stealing tips from employees. Basically the ship is going down. Don't waste your time here, give business to places that treat their employees and customers with more respect.

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.

Farzi Café is a refreshing addition to Bellevue if you're looking for modern Indian cuisine with a…read morecreative twist. The restaurant has a stylish, upscale atmosphere that's perfect for date night or dinner with friends, and every dish was beautifully presented. We ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala (CTM), Chicken Biryani, Chicken Tikka, Garlic Naan, and Lachha Paratha. The CTM was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor, with tender chicken in a perfectly balanced sauce. The biryani was fragrant, flavorful, and generously portioned. The Chicken Tikka was juicy, smoky, and beautifully charred, making it another standout. Both the garlic naan and flaky lachha paratha were perfect for soaking up every bit of the curry. The cocktails were just as impressive. We tried the Funny Girl, which was fruity, refreshing, and beautifully presented with a champagne topper, along with Holy Sip!, a tequila-based cocktail with mango, lime, and a subtle chili kick that was bright and refreshing. The complimentary welcome shot was also a thoughtful touch. Service was friendly and attentive, and the ambiance felt modern and upscale without being overly formal. It's a great place if you're looking for Indian food with a contemporary twist while still staying true to authentic flavors.

We stopped in for dinner after work. What a lovely space!…read more This place does a twist on every Indian classic. We loved every item we had. The pani puri was extremely flavorful. A bit of a different flavor with the "juice" than usual. Very refreshing and a dramatic presentation with dry ice! Next was the "tacos" with avocado and spices. Great balance of flavors, textures, and temperatures. Last was the goat cheese chicken. This was a surprise, recommended by our server as his favorite thing on the menu. Tender chicken, a cheese sauce, plus some very colorful red and green garnish oils. So pretty, and again, delicious. We have another night in town for work so we may be back tomorrow night to try more of this creative chef's work. Spice levels were pretty mild, so don't let that deter you if you're nervous. But the flavors were popping!

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.
