Would you like to start off with some sourdough and butter for the table?" Us: "Eh, we have a lactose issue, so maybe not" Server: "That's not a problem. We can just bring out some olive oil instead with the bread" Us: "That would be awesome thank you" (Bread gets dropped off while we are reading the menu and its got butter instead of olive oil. No biggie) Server: "How's the bread?" Us: "We haven't had any. They haven't brought olive oil to the table yet" Server: "No problem" [Returns with olive oil] Us: "We're big fans of your Kumamoto oysters, but we have a little trouble with spicy food. Would it be possible to -" Server: [Interrupting] "No. I already know what your question is going to be, and the answer is no." Us: "Can we order oysters without any of your horseradish sauces?" Server: "No. All our oyster sauces pre-mixed with horseradish, and they cant make a new sauce just for you" Us: "Could we just have an order of the oysters with your migonette?" Server: "There's horseradish in that too, and you're not going to like it" (which is untrue - Migonette is not made with horseradish) Us: "OK well we'll keep looking over the menu for some options then. While we are looking things over, can we order the Trojan Sushi Roll without wasabi?" Server: "Will you be having any wine tonight?" Us: "Just the sushi for now please, we're going to look at the menu some more." Server: [Snatches the wine glasses off the table, and is clearly agitated] "Fantastic." Server returns with the sushi: "I went ahead and told the kitchen to take out the cilantro from the roll for you too. Did you guys want to take this to-go?" Us: "Why would we want the cilantro taken out? We just asked for the horseradish to be removed." Server: "You guys told me you cant handle spice and cilantro is pretty spicy to some people." Us: "We just wanted the wasabi left out. Everything else was fine." Server: "You know what, I'll just bring you some cilantro stalks, so you can decorate it yourself." Server comes back and drops a ramekin of micro greens in the middle of the table. I've waited tables myself for over 10 years, from diners to fine dining, and I wouldn't have dreamed of ever acting like that with a guest. At this point I spoke to the manager and he took the server off our table. The manager was very understanding and acted quickly to switch us to a new server, and they let us order the oysters with just the migonette. Even though the manager comped the oysters, and was trying to salvage our experience, our visit was pretty much ruined by that server. I've never been openly disrespected by a waiter like that before, and I've played the interaction out in my mind multiple times, and I still have no idea what made him crash out like that. Servers are the face and the personality of any restaurant. And to see a waiter get so openly hostile when someone is trying to I ever encountered a server who was even a fraction as rude as this guy was - he went from zero to hostile in a matter of seconds, and I still have absolutely no idea why.

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.

There's a menu section that filters all their items based on dietary restrictions, so it was pretty easy to find items that fit her dietary needs.

Did not expect to like it as much as I did. We also got some mocktails which were yummy and hit the spot!

While the food here is decent, service is good, and the atmosphere feels calm and inviting, I had a…read morefew cons in my dining experience there last night: First, after seating ourselves, it took us at least 15-20 min just to even get 'seen' by the staff. 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.

I also asked for chopsticks - none. The poke bowl was ok. I rate it 3.5. Couldn't taste the furikake. Fish portion was a bit small and it was one scoop of rice. The bowl itself was tasty overall.

Staff was nice and helpful.

I really hadn't considered visiting Rascal's as I'm more of a foodie than a drinker. However,…read moredecided on a whim to stop in on a Saturday morning to check out the brunch scene. We were warmly greeted at the door and invited in. While walking us to our table, the owner who was seating us offered us a $4 mimosa. How could we say no, so she presented us with a few non-standard options like watermelon (and I can't remember the other types, my bad!). It turns out that it's their new brunch special, so if you accept the mimosa on the way in, it's $4, where the regular price is $10 -- definitely good to keep in mind if you're visiting during weekend brunch! When it came down to the food, I ordered the fried bologna sandwich while my husband had the tom tom benedict (green and red tomatoes). Both were quite good -- I loved the twist on the ol' bologna sandwich, though I the tom tom bene was prob our fave. Anyhow, I was suprised at how much we liked the food from this tavern, and I'll definitely include it as an option from now on, when we're coming up with places to visit. Highly recommend this place. It's relatively new, it's quite sizable, and the owners are just lovely. I do hope that more people find out about this gem and visit!

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!

Although it's really hard to pick a favorite dish, I'd have to say that you absolutely must save room for the Apple galette (but be warned-it takes a VERY long time). Seriously, plan your meal around it and expect them to take 45 minutes to an hour to bring it to you (at lunchtime on a weekday). We were on holiday, so we had flexibility. My second favorite thing to eat was the lobster pasta, followed by the tempura shrimp, and bang bang chicken. They did give us a welcome glass of "champagne," but it was completely un drinkable. The service was extraordinarily slow, but this was probably a function of them being understaffed and everyone was very nice. I say this more so that you can plan accordingly and adjust expectations than to be hypercritical. I should also note that we split plates, so you are seeing half portions.

I felt warm and fuzzy but the customer service others have written about I did not experience. I first felt like a ghost walking from room to room seemingly invisible to human eye as no one said anything to me. This feeling was further felt when we decided to get a drink at the bar and the hostess / waitress pointedly addressed my friend without so much as a glance, body language completely focused on him, as though I was not there. We then went to the bar where the bartender greeted us with, "IDs out!" and then left. No "hi" no "here's a menu, I will be back over". Just "IDs out!" Look, I get that the Liquor Board is out about as other restaurants have explained overly apologetic for asking for an ID from someone who couldn't pass for under 35 if I tried (and these days I suspect I couldn't even meet that young of age) but barking at me as the first employee who said anything to me only guarantees I will not be back. The only person who managed to be pleasant was a young woman with short black hair blue bangs and blue and burgundy tips. Everyone else? About as warm as the Arctic waters. I can get drinks and cards elsewhere and grateful to know my experience is singular and not the norm.
