Best Authentic Restaurants in Mercer Island

We arrived an hour and a half early. The hostess offered for us to grab a drink at their other restaurant next door while we waited for a potential opening. 20 minutes later we were escorted through a service entrance to our table with our drinks in hand. Food was great, service was excellent.

Excellent choices for food, very well prepared, and very friendly and active service. A little noisy, but it is to be expected these days.

We did the tour and taste. Nick was our tour guide. He was spectacular and enthusiastic. He opened my eyes to cold brewing my coffee at home. The pastries were delicious. I had their hazelnut cornetta which is basically a hazelnut stuffed croissant and I also have their almond croissant. Those two were absolutely delicious. The cannoli that I had I did not like. They also serve pizza so I tried the Margarita Pizza. The first slice they brought out to me or block I should say only a corner of it at cheese on it. So they brought me a new block that was completely covered in cheese. I wanted to try there ube espresso martini but I'm allergic to Coconut so I couldn't have it and they didn't have a non-coconut containing ube espresso Martini that I wanted to try so I got the whiskey cloud instead which was tasty

The Tempura bacon w/maple sauce is the best! The steaks are consistently cooked with pinkness as ordered, and very flavorful and tender and lean. Our server provided perfect service. Always very pleased with this nice restaurant!

This was a fantastic meal shared amongst friends. Loved every bite.
