came here for lunch… The only time they serve Ratatouille, is during lunch…

it’s good, comes with white bread… they also serve Kronenbourg beer. =)

My buddy had the Steak Frites, which is USDA prime top sirloin, fries and Dijon mustard served in baguette.

Look at pictures for reference.

The restaurant is located between 2nd and 3rd avenue and Stewart. It’s across from a parking lot and right besides a luggage store.

The restaurant is very cozy and feels home like. The small table setting makes it feel very intimate with the person(s) you are dining with.

The dishes are very small, which is good in allowing you to order many different dishes to try. My favorite dishes was Canard a la provencal; the duck, Cotes d’agnau au romarin; lamb chops, and Pomme frite; French fries.

While I was here, I had the Brochette de beuf; beer sirloin, Canard a la provencal; duck, Cotes d’agnau au romarin; lamb chops, Haricots verts et pignons; green beans, Pomme frite; French fries, and Assiette de charcuterie; assortment tray of meat.

I enjoyed the lamb chops in particular, normally I never order lamb. I don’t like the taste, the smell, etc. This place cooks it so tender and so tasty it doesn’t even taste like lamb anymore! It tasted more like beef or some other type of meat.

As for dessert we had the crème brulee, chocolate cake, and the Chocolat pot de crème.

The bottle of wines we had were the Chateau Marouine Provence Rosé and the chateau amiral de beychevelle bordeaux.

Our server was very helpful in explaining what was in the food, recommendations, and sung, “La vie en rose” for everyone towards the middle of the dinner.

My only disappointment was that they ran out of the Ratatouille dish and only served onion soup during lunch.

Overall it was a very fun experience and I’d go back there again in the future.

Came here for food and drinks after a long day at work… this time, we were given bread and i brought my camera to take some nicer sharper photos of some of the dishes i had last time…

My follow-up review for this restaurant. Read my previous review for this restaurant here

I’ve heard great things about this restaurant and finally had the opportunity to come by for some happy hour… I’ll come back for lunch/dinner some other time….

First off, the view is spectacular! Nice bellevue/seattle view… The atmosphere felt like an old classic style restaurant/bar..

The service was right on expectation! our server was very friendly and told us what the specials were for happy hour and what was recommended between the different draft beers. She came by to check on us several times to see if there was anything we needed, how the food was, etc.

We did not have to wait long for our food… Everything was hot and tasted really good.

Photos uploaded were taken with my iPhone (will bring a camera next time)

My favorite roll is still the Ichi roll… Apart from the usual orders of seared toro, seared scallop, unagi, my friend and I decided to try the Ginger beef roll out, and to my surprise it’s very tasty.

I come here weekly and love it. It may not be as tasty as nishino or other japanese restaurants around, however you pretty much pay for what you get. I love the variety choice of sushi rolls and the friendly service.
Like other I love sushi restaurants, pretty much everything tastes more or less the same.
The interior decor is slightly different from the older I love Sushi restaurant around the corner. It’s got more of a theme to it than the older one which is rather blend…

Came here for the first time last night… I don’t often explore the restaurants in edmonds/lynwood area… I guess some can say that I’m missing out?

This place is not too hard to find and the food is yummy. I don’t quite remember name of the dishes, but we had a tofu in soup that was mild in spicyness, a seafood pancake that was very hot and very oily at the same time, and lastly we had beef ribs.

See pictures for identifying the dishes…

It’s very easy to find. It’s right on the corner of 1st & Vine… It’s very dark/dim inside, fits the name black bottle…. It’s also very loud and noisy. The service is quick to ask for what you want to order, but delivery of the dessert/drinks is rather slow…

I ordered a mojito and the chocolate cake w/gelato icecream. The mojito had very strong mint leaves taste, and the chocolate cake was dry and tasteless.

The table was wet and seats are not very comfortable. To make it worst, the washroom is not very clean…

I am very disappointed, reading the reviews I thought it would have been a nice place to go with my friends…. Less I ordered the wrong food?

I just recently got back from Hong Kong, and immediately went to this place. I love how friendly the service is and the environment is comfortable. Mainly just want to say I came back for the exclusive omakase and I have photos for it this trip…

I came here to celebrate my birthday. We ordered the omakase (chef’s choice) which included a lot of great fresh tasting food. My favourite was the white tuna and the soup where we had to pour into the tiny tea cups.

Also the use of authentic wasabi really gives you the experience of authentic japanese food. I really enjoy the texture of the wasabi, nothing to do with the spicy hot paste you get from other japanese restaurants.

I think presentation for each dish was very well thoughtout and choice of food is very good.

I don’t think there are any place in seattle which have more authentic japanese food than nishino.

The only bad comment I have no relation to the resataurant, but with other customer’s noisy children who occasionally run aorund the restaurant, which is very distracting!!

This restaurant requires a reservation, and expect to dine here minimum of 2 hours. There are not many place to sit or wait, even the bar area is very limited seating. Our party end up waiting for 25 minutes for our table, due to the wait period, the first round of drinks were on the house.

The food is freshly prepared, hence takes some time… I suggest you look at the menu ahead of time and decide what you want and order it while you wait for your table.

Overall, I think the restaurant is not bad. Pricing is affordable, parking only available on street.

I have not tried dining here. I only come here for the baked goods (Lai Wan Bao, dan tat, etc.)
Since this is the only bakery in the east side, it’s the only one I go to.. parking lot is big and free too… I think in terms of taste with the ones in china town, it’s about the same…

It looks like no one has tried this restaurant… This restaurant has changed management a few months ago… The outside of this restaurant looks very westernized and not appealing to most chinese. Location is very convenient, it’s just off I-90 and across from the embassy suites…

I remember coming here for quick meal when I stayed at the embassy suites a few years ago before moving here…. I always thought the food was very americanized till recently my family friends have recommended the restaurant after the change in management….

When you dine here the owner is very friendly and tries to get to know her customers, which makes it somewhat home like feeling…

My recommendation is to ask for the Chinese menu if you want the good stuff!

They are constantly updating the menu, it’s written in both english and chinese… However if you don’t ask for the right menu, you won’t get the right satisfying experience….

(pictures to be uploaded next time with dish names)

I went to the purple cafe in seattle, which on their website shows that it’s the third branch that opend….

I really loved the high cieling and ambience of the restaurant! Very nice wine rack and very very attentive server!! Right after we were seated, our server came by to offer some water and bread!

The server was very attentive as to when our glasses were going low on the wine or water. The server also gave great recommendations on desserts.

I ordered the duck for my entree. It was extremely tender.

As for the desserts. It’s very tiny, bite size (which is nice, so you can order multiple dishes to try)

Which I ordered the vanilla bean crème brulee and the molasses stout cake, candied ginger and butterscotch sauce.

Both very tasty and yummy!!

I would like to post some photos of my time at this restaurant, however I am having technicall problems where the site will not allow me to post jpeg files.
