Heard good reviews and after reading their menu, I was excited to visit. Easy to make a reservation the day of. Waited several minutes to be greeted and seated by an uninterested person who did not deal in friendly, let alone smile or welcome us. Once seated, the wait for a server wasn’t too long. However, they weren’t interested in us, either. My cocktail came out immediately, followed within seconds by my entree. My friend’s entree came 10 minutes later and their beer, ordered at the same time as my cocktail, took almost 20 minutes to receive. Awkward to have my entree and drink while he had nothing for so long. Then to have his entree and still no beer for another 10 minutes. The server never came back to check on us, until our dishes were stacked up and coats were on. Food was good, atmosphere was comfortable and upscale, but the service was so very disappointing. Unapologetically unfriendly and uninterested.

Had high expectations, and this place has been in my to-go list for a few months. When I checked online, the menu looked quite interesting (vegetarian). They’ve got a mix of various cuisines which was great. When we finally visited, the first thing that bothered me was that there was no one to assign a table for us even after waiting for 10mins. Not to forget, we had a reservation. Then I walked up to the bar to find someone to direct me. Anyways, after all the waiting and slow service we enjoyed the food (which was not as great as we expected). The ambience was good though! Price per person $30–50 Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4
I wanted to really like this place because one, its 21+ and I saw they had escargots. I will say it was pretty across our group that we would have to find somewhere else to eat… a 2nd dinner at another location. Parking: Not sure as we parked in Lincoln Square and walked over. Pet friendly: No Family friendly: No, 21+ FOOD: - Burgundy escargots (classic style, butter, garlic, parsley, French bread) $21: 2 Star – I love escargot but if I ever come back I will not be ordering this again. The first piece I had tasted so off, like if you had bad fish… My husband has a piece and he said it tasted completely fine. I had my 2nd piece it was pretty good. My 3rd piece had that weird off taste again. I feel like they got their snail from a can and it was either two different can or they have to find a new supplier. I was honestly worried the rest of the night if I’d get food poisoning… AND their bread wasn’t grilled… I know of all things but yea that’s a minus. - Prosciutto & Besciamella, Mozzarella & parmesan $16.5: 3 Star: I love carbs especially when it comes with cheese on top. This was okay only because the prosiutto was so salty. I understand prosciutto is cured but there wasn’t a good balance of the prosciutto and parmesan with everything else. DRINKS: - Efeste “Final Final” Blend Red Wine 2019, WA $68: 5 Stars - Of all the things our group ordered this bottle of red was the best thing there. Nice body, great taste, and easy to drink 😊 MENU/RESTAURANT: Viewing the menu online, this place sounded like it was going to be so good… though not great for vegetarian/vegan entrée options. The restaurant is in downtown Bellevue and only a block or so away from the mall/Lincoln sq buildings that I’ve actually haven’t been here before. It’s a nice restaurant and not what I would assume from the exterior. Lighting is very dim so not the greatest when trying to food photos LOL SERVICE: Staff was friendly but we didn’t have a lot of interaction as the restaurant was packed. Price per person $30–50

Feb. 22 was the first time that I dined at the Black Bottle. I found the food to be mediocre, the servers apron was filthy and the greeter did not engage with us at all. He basically took us to our table left the menus without saying a word. Price per person $10–20 Food: 2 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3
