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.

My favorites are The Original Zombie, Painkiller, and Jungle Bird. The Original Zombie has a limit of 2 per customer and for a very good reason. They also have a kiddie cocktail menu featuring 4 drinks. And yes, they're non-alcoholic. Their food is also noteworthy. I tried their Tokyo Tots, Nui Nui Banh Mi, Big Wave Brussels Sprouts, and Saigon Kick Chicken Tenders. The Banh Mi was decent and was served with a side of mac salad.

Michelle and the Sammamish River Trail, and there is a lot to like here. Food & Drink: The food is very good across the board. The chicken sandwich is a standout, and they have some of the better wings in the area if you like a dry rub. The fish and chips have a solid crunch despite being light/airy, and both the beef and lamb burgers are well executed. The homemade black bean burger is an underrated vegan option. The Green Goddess salad is also pretty good, and gluten-free buns are available. They rotate in seasonal items as well, so there is usually something different on the menu. The bar leans more toward cocktails and whiskey than beer. The whiskey selection is great. Other spirits are less diverse, but there is enough to make most cocktails. They are solid at making the classics--I've had the Martini, Paper Plane, Gimlet, and Manhattan here, and all have been very good. The seasonal cocktail menu is also usually well done, with options built around a variety of spirits. This isn't a top-grade cocktail program, but it is pretty solid and fits the vibe of the place well. One of their quirks is the alcoholic milkshake. I haven't had one, but have heard good things. The beer menu is probably a little weak in terms of options for somewhere with "Tavern" in the name. They still have some local brews on tap, but beer clearly isn't the focus here. Ambiance & Service: Hollywood Tavern has a great location in Woodinville, near Chateau Ste. Michelle and the Sammamish River Trail. There is a decently sized parking lot that usually doesn't overflow. The outdoor seating area is solid, complete with Adirondack chairs and a fire pit. Inside looks and feels like a tavern. There is some great wall art showing the building from when it was a gas station and Woodinville was still "out in the sticks." The interior is basically divided into two halves, with the bar on one side. There is a nice rustic wood-top bar with seating for maybe ten, plus additional high-top seating along the windows. There is also an indoor/outdoor-feeling section along the road. There is usually a good buzz in the room. It isn't a quiet or intimate spot, but it also isn't really a "socialize with the locals" type of tavern. It works particularly well for a casual date night or a guys' or girls' night out. Country music (Bluegrass/Americana) is usually what's playing (fairly quietly). It also works surprisingly well for families. Between the noise level and lack of formal dining, it is a good option for a "fancy" family dinner where everyone can still relax. The kids menu is fairly standard, but portions are solid and the value is good. Kids get crayons and coloring menus, and parents can actually enjoy the food and drinks without feeling like they brought their kids somewhere they shouldn't have. Service is above average. The staff is friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the service fits the casual atmosphere well. Final Thoughts: Five stars. Think upscale tavern with more of a focus on cocktails than beer, but with country music and a rustic finish. Hollywood Tavern combines very good food, solid cocktails, a great whiskey selection, above-average service, and one of the better casual atmospheres in Woodinville. It works equally well for a casual date night, a night out with friends, or a nicer family dinner. Von's or The Shed, will get the press/publicity in the area, but for me, this place is an underrated gem. -AC

A SPECIAL KIND OF TERRIBLE The Cottage in Bothell (more of a women's wine bar than a restaurant) tries too hard to be "fancy" but misses the mark. Whoever created the menu took a bunch of trendy, faddie food ingredients that sound good, put them together in weird "creations" that, once combined, are utterly inedible - and then charge shameful prices. Our food was OLD and was likely cooked or prepared days, if not weeks, in advance. Ordered the Cottage Burger: we asked if the burger could be cooked medium rare. Our server answered, "NO, OUR KITCHEN IS NOT SET UP FOR THAT." The server's answer was odd, but we quickly understood her meaning after the burger arrived. They could not cook it medium rare, to order, because it had already been PRE-cooked: it was dry, crumbly and flavorless with no "meat juices/fats" running out. It was evident that the burger had been pre-cooked long ago, then reheated for our order. The cheese was not melted on top of the burger, nor was it even served ON the burger. It was IN the bread; meaning, take a ciabatta bread top, place a slice of cheese on it, then microwave it. The cheese melts INTO the bread. That's what we got. We asked for the aioli on the side. It came on the side but it was not aioli. It was a runny white flavorless liquid, similar to a yogurt drink or kefir (salad dressing, water & garlic powder?). Our choice of the "side" was their "pesto pasta". This was a cup of cold flavorless penne pasta (also likely cooked ahead and refrigerated) that was white, had a few sun dried tomatoes on top, some type of oil poured on (tasted like it was oil from the sun dried tomatoes jar), and a few flecks of something dried and green (DRIED basil or parsley?). So, NOT a pesto with pulverized pine nuts and basil which, when tossed, gives the pasta an overall nice green color. The small cup of pasta was not even tossed - it was "assembled", so after the first few pieces of pasta on the top, it was just a cup of plain old white macaroni. The price? $18.00 The "Coronation Chicken Salad Sandwich" was a particular disaster. The "curried chicken breast" was chopped up white chicken meat, likely from a can. It was spread, or more precisely pressed, onto 2 slices of brittle, blackened toast. The toast was so hard, so overly toasted and dry, that when you bit into the sandwich, it broke off in big hard chunks. The chicken salad was BRIGHT YELLOW, as in NEON yellow (dare I say, food color?). With that degree of color, one would think there would be at least SOME flavor. Wrong. There was ZERO curry taste. In fact, it had no taste at all. If you take chicken salad, even with curry, and leave it in the refrigerator for about a week or two, that's what you got here - flavorless and dry dry dry. Another of its ingredients (as listed on the menu) was "dried Washington cherries". These were chunks of cherries that had days/weeks ago been red and dried, but were now fully hydrated (having absorbed what little moisture had been left in the "salad"), and looking like swollen grey grape halves pressed into bright yellow goop. I scraped it all off and just ate the burnt toast. The price? $13.00 Their ubiquitous "red pepper romesco" was a runny red liquid, not a thick-ish sauce. We asked for mayonnaise, foolishly thinking that this place that calls itself a "restaurant" would have mayonnaise. Nope, no mayo here. With the place being essentially empty, we waited over half an hour for our order. The service was marginal AT BEST - had to repeatedly flag down the Invisible Server who it seems is the GENERAL MGR (but to whom we still GENEROUSLY tipped 10%). Staff were visibly irritated that we had a small child in our party. The "food" was dreadful. The goofy menu is one thing, but being served old and pre-cooked food is another. If you know food, go someplace else. read more

I'm deeply troubled by the recent incident at the restaurant. My family and I chose to dine there based on its positive reviews, only to encounter unwelcome treatment. As Asian patrons, we couldn't shake the feeling of being scrutinized by the waitress upon entering. While initially attributing it to the restaurant's busyness, our discomfort grew. Despite our understanding of the patio's reservation policy, we were disappointed by the lack of preparedness upon being seated indoors. Given that my parents are non-English speakers, my father signaled his readiness to order through gestures. However, when utensils were not promptly provided, he politely gestured for them. The manager's reaction was alarming. Instead of addressing our concerns, she reprimanded my father for not using specific words like "please and thank you" which again my dad doesn't speak the language. When I attempted to express our disappointment and explain our perspective, she interrupted me and threatened us with expulsion, citing her managerial authority. When I ask a box to box my left over, she aggressively took my salad away and insisted on boxing it for us, despite my offer to pack it myself. The manager then asserted that I shouldn't dictate how to run her business. This treatment was not only disrespectful but also discriminatory. As paying customers, we deserve to enjoy our dining experience without fear of mistreatment. I firmly believe that such behavior is unacceptable and against the law. I intend to pursue this matter further by lodging a complaint with certain departments and exploring legal options. Discrimination has no place in our society, and I am committed to upholding our rights as patrons. read more

I recently visited The Cottage in downtown Bothell, and I must say, the experience was a mix of delightful moments and a slight sense of haste. Let me break it down for you: Ambience: The moment I stepped inside, I was charmed by the cozy and cheery atmosphere. The interior exudes warmth, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely brunch. The rustic decor and comfortable seating create a welcoming vibe. Food and Coffee: Brunch Delights: The food offerings were a highlight. From the crab dip to the quiche, everything was flavorful and satisfying. The fries and desserts also deserve a special mention. Coffee Perk: If you're a coffee enthusiast, you'll appreciate their well-crafted brews. While they don't serve drip coffee, they'll happily offer you an Americano. Service and Rushed Feeling: Our server, was attentive and friendly. She answered all our questions and made sure we felt welcome. However, during our visit, we sensed a bit of rush. Perhaps it was due to the busy crowd or other factors, but it left us wanting a more leisurely pace, especially since it's a bit pricey. Overall Impression: Rating: I'd give The Cottage a solid 4 out of 5 stars. Recommendation: Definitely visit for brunch or happy hour when you have time to savor the flavors. The covered patio is a cute spot for outdoor dining. read more

The Cottage is a cozy bistro, that I enjoy sitting there enjoying a latte or a glass of wine. The staff is very professional and take great pride in catering to their customers Some nights they have live music. Not live music to the point you can't carry a conversation, but subtle easy listening music to accompany your conversation or light dinner. I met the chef last night, Chef Brandon, I believe his name is. He has come up with a delightful bistro type fare that is good not only for lunch, but also for a light dinner. There is also an assortment of delicious pastries and baked goods to accompany your latte or cappuccino. Be sure to try this place before the word gets out and Bothell becomes the new happening place on the Eastside. It might be tough to find a seat when that happens!! read more

We had a wonderful experience at The Cottage--a charming spot that truly delivers on both food and atmosphere. I ordered the Farmhouse Hash and it was outstanding. The crispy hashbrowns, herbed red potatoes, and seasoned harvest vegetables came together beautifully, topped with a perfectly fried egg and a rich, flavorful romesco sauce. Every bite felt hearty and thoughtfully crafted. Their cocktails and coffee were equally impressive--well-balanced, flavorful, and clearly made with care. And don't miss their baked goods--fresh, indulgent, and the perfect sweet finish to the meal. On top of the amazing food and drinks, the service was exceptional--friendly, attentive, and welcoming.

I was here in the morning to grab some coffee and the barista was beyond rude. I want to support small business but customer service is everything. You can't have a business without it, period. There was a handful of ppl working yet nobody acknowledged me and once someone finally took my coffee order I received the drink with a very bitter taste. A latte with flavor shouldn't taste like burnt coffee. I told the barista I wasn't sure about the drink and wondering if they could add more flavor and they wanted to charge me for it. Which is fine.. but I didn't expect to pay for even more flavor. Really cute place, but not so friendly team. Probably will stick to a coffee stand next time. read more

Review for The Cottage: The Cottage prides itself on its ambiance and cuisine, but be prepared for a less-than-welcoming experience. The staff's attitude tends to border on indifferent and pompous, with a sense of self-importance that overshadows customer care. Expect to wait longer than usual, as the service doesn't quite match the establishment's high opinion of itself. This combination of extended waiting times and lackluster service detracts significantly from the overall dining experience. read more

Cute place for a quick meetup / brunch. I ordered the Croissant French Toast which was a little overcooked, but the bacon & mimosas were tasty. This place is quite small, so the covered patio seating was nice. read more

My first time at the trendy restaurant at the SOMM Hotel went very well. First, finding covered…read moreparking was easy (they validate). The hotel itself is pretty new and very chic. The restaurant was packed and vibrant on a Friday at 7 pm, my party of 4 were seated on a high table with lots of room and the waiter was quick to take our drink orders. I had an old fashioned and was happy that it wasn't too sweet. We also ordered a bottle of wine and for appetizers had the peach salad and the fries. For main, I odered the scallops served over a corn slaw of sorts and my date ordered the wagu tenderloin, both were great but my dish came with only 3 scallops, while not surpsising, is a bit skimpy. Overall I thought it was a great dinner, service and ambiance. Looking forward to going back at some point.

Each time, I was able to book a reservation using OpenTable, but we never really needed it because it never got that busy in the morning. First, the dining space, much like the hotel, is stylish and modern. The menu is well curated, so there is a nice selection of different breakfast and brunch dishes to pick from. Over three meals, I was able to try the following: - Cast Iron Corn Pancake: Very good. I wasn't sure what to expect here, because I've never had a corn pancake before. It comes out in a cast iron pan, so the underside is crispy and caramelized, while the rest of it is soft and moist. A really nice mix of textures, and just the right amount of sweetness. I could imagine a dish like this going wrong in a bunch of ways, but it was executed really nicely. - Egg Scramble Toast: OK. I felt the egg scramble was a bit dense, and the english pea guacamole and mole blanc were too mild in flavour. Not bad, but I was expecting more. - Fried Chicken and Waffles: Very good. Chicken was crispy and flavourful, chilli maple had just the right amount of punch. So good that my son ordered it twice. - Wagyu Smashburger: Very good. I love a good smashburger, and this one was as good as any. And shoestring fries are one of the best I've had in awhile. - Trout & Grits: Excellent. This was the standout dish for me. Trout was perfectly cooked (medium rare) so the outside had a perfect sear but the inside was moist. The smoke gouda grits provided a lot of umami, and paired so well with the trout. The confit tomatoes are a welcome addition of colour and flavour. This is a very well conceived dish that was executed perfectly the two times we ordered it. I wish all restaurants had a breakfast option like this. - Bowl of Fruit: Good. A very healthy amount of fruit, that comes with a delectable vanilla chantilly cream. - Grilled Pork Belly Banh Mi: Ok. It does have some resemblance to a traditional banh mi, but was lacking depth. Individual ingredients were pretty good, but didn't sum up to anything really outstanding. - Somm Margherita Pizza: Ok. The pizza dough/crust looked good, but ended up being a bit doughier than expected. I thought the tomato sauce lacked any flavour. Service for the most part was between acceptable to excellent, depending on the server we had each day. Overall, I really enjoyed all my breakfasts. I think the breakfast menu items they provide are very well thought out and impressively executed. I normally don't look forward to restaurant breakfasts because I find them generally boring and uninspiring - but not here. The breakfast here is something to look forward to. On the other hand, some of the the brunch items (like the pizza and banh mi) are less impressive. Overall, I still enjoyed my visits because of the trout & grits, chicken & waffles and wagyu smashburger dishes. I would say over 3 meals, it was a mix of 4 star and 5 star ratings.

Tucked away in a corporate business park, Russell's continues to be one of my favorite neighborhood…read morespots. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming, and we were seated right on time for our reservation. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and walked us through the menu before we eagerly started ordering. A few highlights from the meal: * Blackberry Refresher - Really good. It reminded me of an Izze, but with much less sweetness and a more balanced flavor. * Scallops Starter - Perfectly cooked with a great sear. The menu mentioned a seasonal (plum) gastrique, but it was barely noticeable. A little more of that acidity would have taken this dish from great to exceptional. * Tomato Bisque - Smooth, velvety, and packed with fresh tomato flavor. It honestly made me wish I had ordered a grilled cheese to go with it! * Double-Cut Pork Chop - Delicious as always. My only wish is that they would leave the bone in, which would add even more flavor and presentation. * Duck Breast - One of the stars of the evening. Cooked beautifully with crispy skin and served over a generous portion of mushroom risotto. The only thing I'd change is having the sauce underneath or on the side instead of poured over the duck, which would help preserve that wonderful crispy skin. * Chocolate Gateau (Molten Lava Cake) - A perfect way to finish the meal. Served hot with a delicious blackberry sauce that complemented the rich chocolate really well. And I can't forget the complimentary focaccia bread. Fresh, fluffy, and topped with the perfect crust, it was absolutely addictive. Overall, Russell's never disappoints. Great food, attentive service, and a consistently enjoyable dining experience. If you're in the Bothell area, this is a must-visit spot. Highly recommended!

At today's restaurant prices when you splurge on a nice dinner you really want it to be an experience. Russell's delivered in every respect. Although it is located adjacent to a business park you feel like you're in a small town rural setting. Our server was wonderful. He was equal parts host, advisor, comedian, and server. His skill added to the experience, without being intrusive. Cocktails were delightful. One Laphroaig with a big cube, one Huckleberry cosmo. Dinner was a split beet salad, one ribeye done medium rare, and one rack of lamb also done medium rare. Both were perfect, the salad was the great starter. For a complete dinner experience Russell's is a fantastic option.

Never even knew this area existed, but here we are. Started out with an Acid BlackBerry Cider, and it did not disappoint. This place is actually pretty big, with tons of seating and ambiance. After some chit chat, we ordered and I went with the Double Smash Burger and regular Fries. In the mighty and powerful words of Buford T. Justice... "SOMBITCH!!" Hands down the BEST Smash Burger I've had! Paired perfectly with dill pickle slices, that double American Cheese, grilled onions and whatever sauce or spread they had on it...warning... it's juicy and can get a little sloppy, but that makes a solid smash burger!!! That meal perfectly hit the spot! Could be a bit pricey on the menu, but anymore, what place isn't? Either way, you can expect some awesome grub that won't break the bank... especially if the Director is picking up the tab ;). The service was great, the conversation and team was in good form and cheer, and the meal was spot on. Hoping one day I get back out this way as an excuse to stop by again. Thanks for the experience and as always, enjoy and have a Smashing Ol' Time!

Good portion sizes and tasty! Old fashioned cocktail was nice and strong, and lots of beers to choose from too. Couple of misses...something is up with the acoustics because there is a constant din that you have to yell over to be heard by your table mates. They automatically add 20% which I was fine with because service was great, but just a heads up. And prices seem high, like two meals and two drinks at HH prices was $70 before tip, you'd think it would be more of a bargain. But still, I wouldn't mind going back to try more of their menu.

Sadly the service was not much better. Was asked to prepay and pre tip. Then anything we requested when someone came by was met with " you can get that yourself" or a bit of irritation.

If you are looking for good service and great food, you may want to give this a pass.
