Had a surprisingly good experience here, decided to try it as they were participating in Restaurant Week. Unlike other places they had a single set menu with no choice, but also unlike other places it was $35 instead of $50 or $65. And if you like the selections, as we did, then not having a choice wasn't an issue. Starter: caprese salad stack. Main: Short rib with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Dessert: Caramel creme brulee. We loved the starter and main, they were generously portioned and tasty. The dessert was a bit of a fail, but I also don't generally like creme brulee so ymmv. As others have mentioned the service was friendly and swift. And yes it's in an Embassy Suites so it's not super upscale, but it was spacious and comfortable. It's definitely had a facelift since some of the older reviews. All in all, a nice experience.

The salmon chowder was pretty good. The mac and cheese was also good, the steak was just okay.

Great restaurant. Beautifully decorated, very fast and friendly service. The tortilla soup (when available) is magnificent. The grilled salmon entree had probably the lost generous serving of salmon I've seen in an entree, and the flavor, the preparation, and the presentation did not disappoint. Finally, I had the brownie for dessert. Do yourself a favor and substitute chocolate ice cream for the vanilla. It's like a taste of heaven before you die of a heart attack from its richness and go to hell.

Arrived at about 9:45p on 4/15 after working a long day. It was quiet but still had a few table and a couple people at the bar. Sometimes I have the hardest time deciding what I want to drink so I asked for the drink menu however; the bartender had one but didn't want to bother bringing me one because apparently they didn't have the ingredients to make them... ???? ... I went with a simple Manhattan and husband had a beer. We did order a pizza that was way bigger then expected, tasted delicious and well priced! We'll be back, hopefully next time their bartender will feel up to doing what they are paid to do and I can see the drink menu...

Good food here! I came with friend to eat dinner around 8pm. No customers and quite but lady nicely greeted us. We ordered Smoked Prime Rib Dip & Rainier Burger. You can chose Salad, fries, or fruits. Service guy was so nice and good to taking care us. It's a inside the embassy suites Bellevue.

Excellent service and food. Mushroom ravioli, chicken penne with pesto cream sauce, and chicken enchilada soup were all amazing. Highly recommend it

This restaurant is located right inside the Embassy Suites hotel and from the looks of it, it could really use a remodeling. I'm not sure when was the last time it was remodeled if ever, but it still looks as it was something from the 1980's. The hotel itself is going through a major remodeling so hopefully they will do something with the restaurant itself later on. We came here as a small group to sample their dinner menu since my parents wanted to try the food before our wedding here. I ordered the strip loin which was cooked to a nice medium rare and was surprised again by how big the servings are. I knew right from the beginning I wouldn't be able to finish my meal and would have to doggy bag it again like the last time. The steak was very tasty with the Bearnaise sauce and peppercorn topping. The two sides of red potatoes and green beans were seasoned great too. The restaurant felt very empty during dinner time here except for a couple parties who came at the end of our meal. It just doesn't have that inviting feel to it and looks old. I do hope they do a remodeling here at the restaurant because the food here is really good the two times I have been here with nice big servings and the service too has been very good.
