The food was even worse. We ordered a charcuterie board. I'm supplying a photo which will speak for itself. And lastly, the ambiance was weirdly uncomfortable. Really unwelcoming vibe.

An HUGE park that just so happens to have a farm at the end. This park is in the middle of Bellevue…read moreand is well maintained with lots of free parking. The park has a paved path with lots of trees & flowers. There's even a HUGE 3-story playground! That was the biggest playground I've ever seen! There was also a smaller playground for little ones. The farm itself is at the top of the park and it's small but lovely because we saw all the animals. My daughter loved naming all the different animals and especially loved the goats & sheep. This is a free farm but there was a cute mailbox accepting donations. I don't think anyone was working when we went on a Saturday. You can also have your birthday party here which is so fun for animal lovers! They even offer classes where people of all ages, from school age to adults can learn how to care for the animals which is so cool! Overall, this was such a fun free activity we could do in the heart of the city! We were amazed at how beautiful the place was!

Visited Mirra for a private work event and had a blast!! Mirra is truly a special gem in Bellevue…read more It would be a great place to hang out with friends and do something a little more creative and active than just going to a regular bar/restaurant, or hosting your own party. All the games were quick (5-10 mins long) and beginner friendly. So it wasn't too intimidating, and you didn't feel like you were stuck out on the game floor for too long away from your friends. There was always an attendant helping in case you needed help too! I would definitely recommend and will be back.

We came here for a friend's birthday party. The games are fun and certainly a workout…read more I was glad they had non-alcoholic drinks to choose from. The staff were friendly and energetic. I only wish the VR headsets were not so heavy or sweaty and that they were lighter, like the Ray-Ban Meta glasses. Overall, it was a good experience!

The Bellevue gardens is a pretty quiet and secluded little spot to relax and take in some nature…read more It's not a huge place, but it's big enough that you can spend an hour or two there, casually strolling about. No trouble with parking, and it is free to enter, so you really should stop by if you are nearby. It's worth it.

BOTANICAL GARDEN @ BELLEVUE…read more Parking is available right out front, which makes this place super accessible. There are also designated handicap parking spots. My friend and I visited on a Friday around 2 PM, and there were a few spots open, so getting in was really easy. I loved how simple everything was to navigate, there's even a map available when you enter. Entry and parking are both completely free, which is a huge plus. We walked along the trail and I'd recommend spending about 2-3 hours here if you want to take your time and fully enjoy it. We had to speed-run our visit because we had another errand afterward, but it was still incredibly beautiful. I highly recommend stopping by the bridge, it was very therapeutic and relaxing to walk across. There are plenty of benches and seating areas along the way, perfect for taking breaks or just soaking in nature. The quality of the space is amazing, with a wide variety of rocks, trees, and scenery that make the whole experience feel peaceful. There are also bathrooms located at the front, and you're never too far from other people, which made it feel comfortable and safe. Overall, I definitely recommend stopping by this place.

We decided to have a staycation and booked a room at Elements hotel in Redmond. This hotel is next…read moreto AC Hotel. Location is great. Close to very good restaurants in the area. Front desk was very friendly. Gave us a great room. Came with a buffet, excellent breakfast. There is even an omelette station. So many to choose from. Very good deal! Parking is underground. Very safe and very accessible to the hotels. Hotel rooms are very clean. We had a one bedroom with a sofa bed and a kitchen. Complete kitchen basics. Will definitely come back here.

Element is hands-down the BEST hotel I've ever stayed at, bar none. The rooms are HUGE, clean, and…read moreabsolutely modern. This was the first hotel in which I've stayed that didn't seem like a hotel, it seemed more like a nice apartment. Staff was over the top with their friendliness and helpfulness. My travel companion and I were in town for a charity fundraiser run, and the front desk had gift bags for us, with bottled water, electrolyte powder, etc. to help us on our run. THAT is nothing I've ever experienced anywhere else. Breakfast was lovely. High-quality and unique items, such as guava juice. The parking garage layout made for easy parking and access to the hotel, which was also very thoughtful. If I'm ever in Redmond or Seattle again, I'm DEFINITELY going to stay at Element.

Meydenbauer Center is a midsize event space in Bellevue. First floor has event, convention space,…read morewhile second floor is a theater with seating. The event space is well maintained even though it is showing its age somewhat. I visit yearly for the Japan Fair in July. Every year, it looks about the same as the year before - good in terms of maintenance, bad in terms of improvements or lack thereof. Other than being a bit dark inside (the place feels very brown), the space serves its purpose. Parking underneath is a rather spendy. $12 for an hour; the incremental hourly cost increase is a lower rate. The elevator is roomy. The stairs say for emergency only, but it is fine to use without triggering alarms. The bathrooms are clean. During the Japan Fair on a weekend, there are janitors working. I might have given them four stars instead of three stars because of this last aspect. Sometimes a venue has no staff despite having an event.

We went on a slow day so it was nice it wasn't crowded, and there was not wait for any of the activities. When this place opened up I was told there were way too many people thye let through. I got the VIP package for my daughter. It included a seperated check in line so you could get in faster, a VR experience, and a poster (remember to ask for the poster at the gift shop they do not remind you). I also got the souvenier package which was dissapointing, for $15 it included a bubble wand, a squishy pen, and one rubber duck. The description mentioned bath toys plural, which was not the case. Parking was a few dollars cheaper if bought online, for how much entry was, parking should have been included. I noticed some people just walking from a lot nearby instead of paying for parking.

Brought my kids here (7 & 9) for the first time. My son enjoyed it more than my daughter. Honestly,…read moreit's a bit overpriced for what it is. Would be more enjoyable if adults weren't charged entry, not to mention fever charges an additional $5 processing fee per person for booking. The bathroom is so unkept and dirty. You walk through room to room; each with a unique, fun theme, although nothing was exciting enough to keep my kids wanting to stay there long enough to make feeling like the amount we spent was worth it. We went mid week, so the price was cheaper than going on weekends or peak days. I would be disappointed had we spent more than we did, but still a disappointment nonetheless. My biggest issue was how rude an older gentleman staff was to my daughter. I'm aware we were told the rules, but kids are kids and forget sometimes. He could have told me and I could have told my daughter or he could have spoken to her much nicer, but he was straight up rude and disrespectful to her in the way that he spoke. Staff should have no business working at a family oriented space if they don't know how to interact properly with children (and no, my kids are no overly sensitive people). It's merely a matter of respect. This place is definitely a one and done.

I have been a patron of this park several times of the past 5 years. I have always had positive…read moreexperiences and enjoyed finding beach front amenities that are always family friendly. Plus- since it is private (versus state/city) you can being beer or wine in if you choose :) This private park on Lake Sammamish is a great alternative to state parks. This pay-to-enter park is maintained at a pristine level, has restrooms, picnic shelters with bbq pits and sinks, and even a concession stand. There is a boat launch, a designated swimming area (life guard during warm weather), and a small play ground for kids. There is a free private parking lot across the street that makes visiting with kids convenient. Designated picnic areas can be rented out for private events- there is also an option to rent out the entire park if needed. If you want to rent an area for a private event- it is best to do it months in advance- this is an extremely popular place. Picnic shelters can include bbq pits, sinks, power outlets, and plenty of garbage cans. Depending on the particular picnic area, there are even amenities like volleyball and beach front seating. Refer to their website for a map.

This review is for the drive-in movie experience…read more The good: The park has a great set up for drive-in movies! Secluded dark area in the back with a huge screen. Very easy to see, and they also do a good job arranging cars by size so no one is in the way and enforcing people who randomly decide to turn their lights on. Real movie theatre popcorn! I had no idea how much I missed this after months and months of not having any. The neutral: Donations go to the nonprofit wing of the park! The not good: Sound is terrible. It's through the radio and the first fifteen minutes of the movie wasn't even working (they did not restart it). I guess you could say it made for a retro drive in movie experience with funny sound. Even with bad sound though this would have been a five star experience - IF THE EMPLOYEES WERE WEARING MASKS. Every single one of the guests wore a mask. Only two employees were - the ones working the concession stand. The other four I saw did not even have a mask around their neck. Sure; they were outside, but come on! It's the law, and you are yelling directions so projecting your voice. I had even asked before if employees would be wearing masks and they said yes - but nope. Why????

A pretty venue for a small wedding. Two things I did not like:…read more1) they only let you have a rehearsal for an hour between 9 to 4 weekdays which meant anyone working normal business hours or coming from out of town could not make it. 2) Joanna interrupted me during the reception to go over the credit she was giving me. We had scheduled an hour at the end of our rental for clean up (which was plenty of time since we did not serve food) so I don't know why she felt the need to interrupt me during a busy hectic time for something like that.

My husband and I got married here in June of this year and we were so happy with our venue choice…read more Robinswood is a lovely space, it seems sort of rustic, but we were able to design our wedding to be anything but rustic. The highlight of working with this venue is Joanna. She is so incredibly warm and welcoming and focused on creating the event you want. She was available all the time and always answered emails and phone calls promptly. She is flexible and happy to meet and show you around and walk the grounds with you. She also suggested my amazing planner, Julia Pavlovski of Wedding Wise Seattle, and for that I am forever grateful (sorry, shameless plug, but it really was such a great recommendation). When I arrived to Robinswood on the day of, overwhelmed by everything that was going wrong (sooooo many things went wrong) Joanna saw me and gave me a giant hug and it really reassured me that she and the team were going to make sure everything in their power went perfect. And they did. The space is intimate. They say that they can fit over 200 people, but I wouldn't suggest it for over 100-125 as I feel you'd be quite cramped. We wanted an outdoor wedding and as it rained (even though the forecast was only 10% chance!!) on our big day, having the log cabin and awnings was a great relief for ourselves and our guests while the teams were prepping the reception area. The grounds are unique. I am actually a huge fan of the flow from ceremony garden area to cocktail/dancing area to reception area. It kept everyone organized and in one place. Additionally, their staff for day of is really great. We got compliments about the bartender and serving staff. I would say the things to be aware of is a lack of flexibility on their policies. Their policies are their policies and there isn't wiggle room, so if you were hoping to work with a specific caterer who isn't on their list, or serve liquor, or do a sparkler send off, etc be prepared to nix those ideas. In a way, it actually does make it easier for a bride to make decisions by narrowing down the options (trust me future brides, a million options is not always a good thing), but for people who have a very very specific idea in mind, talk to Joanna about those specific ideas before signing your contract to ensure detail you have in mind is allowed. Over all, we are very happy with Robinswood House. It was great for our perfectly imperfect day!
