I count on Nells for an always reliable experience. Excellent food and service. It was a warm day and we sat outside the outside tables have a nice view of Green Lake. They are a bit noisier due to the Tavern next door. Compared to inside, which is always quiet. I relish Nell’s for a place where you can really talk with your companion

Tracy, long term server is always professional, thoughtful and amazing to be around. Balsamic salad complex and delicious. Tenderloin always great. We met the young woman who created the raviolis. Very interesting interpretation. Well done.

Absolutely loved our experience at 84 Yesler! From the moment we walked in, the service was top-notch attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. The food was outstanding, each dish beautifully prepared and full of flavor. What really sets this place apart, though, is the ambiance. It’s warm, stylish, and completely unique—easily one of the best dining atmospheres in the city. Highly recommend for a memorable night out! We were lucky enough to meet the owner - an absolute gem of the human! Will go back anytime!

We absolutely love WaterFire! Their service is top-notch and their food is amazing. Please commend Chef Derrin and his staff for their superb meals, serving staff and presentation. The menu has changed, which is a good thing, but I was so disappointed the 'Fish Fry' had been replaced with 'Fish & Chips'. I truly missed the former battered Fish and Prawns and the way the fries were served in their own cute basket with all the sauces. My husband had the Halibut on the fresh sheet last night and it was to die for! :) We'll be back very soon!!

About the restaurant

Known as chef to the winemakers, Chef Russell Lowell is a hands on chef. Cutting all our proteins in house during the day and working the grill at night. He creates a menu that considers seasonality and wine pairings. We are a local favorite in the Bothell area. Located in a historic hay barn, we are the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion or a date night away from the kids.

Wonderful food (the salmon entree was outstanding!). Our waiter, Tim, was always checking in without hovering and the rest of the staff was very accommodating and friendly. Wonderful night to eat outside and celebrate our anniversary. We’ll be coming back :)
