Reviews for Black Bottle in Bellevue, WA
The food is really good, it is just too expensive. 24$ for a single, luke warm duck breast and some cranberries is not very... impressive... Sure it was tender and flavourful, just not 24$ flavourful. The other dishes priced around 17$ were much better.Would be 4/5 if not overpriced. Total price for two with three dishes, one beer and one cocktail was 86$ excluding tips. Read more
Stopped in on a busy Friday night and had no trouble getting seated or served at the bar. The staff were friendly and attentive... around everything going on, and both the food and drinks were delicious. I look forward to coming back in the future to try newthings! Read more
Good food and drinks! Or server was great. Loved the ambiance. Entrance was a bit difficult to find due to the construction.... It?s a 21+ restaurant and you will be asked at the door if you?re above 21. Read more
Haven't been in for a bit. They took out their happy hour menu and changed the menu itself. I liked the old menu better, had... more Asian flare to their dishes. The flatbread was great. Everything else was ok. Service was ok. Nothing exceptional. But onething they do do is play great music. They play R&B, and old school. Love it. Read more
Pros: Beautiful space, great ambiance, and all of the staff were very friendly. Would love to come here to drink. Cons: We came... for dinner. We were seated for about 10min before someone finally noticed us, brought water, and told us our server will be withus soon, just as we were ready to move to the bar for service. This was at 8:30pm on Thursday-- restaurant was notbusy. Blasted broccoli was soggy and just salty. Not bad, but very one-note and plain. Not a $12 broccoli dish, and couldntforce myself to eat more than a few. Pulled pork tacos had good salsa and tortilla, but the star, the pork, was veryunder-seasoned, bland, and dry. Okay for $2/each street tacos, but really hoped for better as such a beautifully describedentree on the menu. After the $50 dinner for two, I was still very hungry, but didn't want to order more food, fearing moreletdowns. Read more
Big fan of the drinks. It was my first and possibly only time visiting since I'm only in town for a couple more days, but Eli... had me figured out. Only got two drinks but I could tell my boy was generous with the liquor and that he takes his alcoholseriously. 10/10. Ally was amazing too. Out here zipping through the restaurant from table to table since she was basically theonly server, but still managing to make me feel cared for. She'd be the one in the friend group to ask someone to repeat whatthey said if her other friends talk over them. Also just liked her aesthetic in general. Caught a vibe or whatever they say ontiktok these days. Read more
How have we not been here lately? We basically ordered everything on the menu here... started with Ol Smokey Cocktail, which was... fabulous- smoked at the bar, but unleashed table-side... The four of us shared a host of plates - nachos, gem salad, chicken,beef short ribs - all were excellent. Only complaint is that the timing of some were weird... we wanted the gem salad first,but it came out last... who finishes with a cold salad as last plate? Alas, it was tasty. All this greatness was not cheapthough! Those small aged at $18 add up fast to the tune of $300 for our table- ouch! Read more
The baby gems salad was delicious, as were the pulled pork tacos. The menu has a variety of options for most dietary... preferences. Nice atmosphere but can be a bit loud. Read more
