Best Dog Friendly Restaurants in Mercer Island

We had a wonderful contented and would definitely visit again!

We had a wonderful Valentines dinner. The pre fix menu had many great choices. We chose: Lobster bisque, salmon caviar crostini, waygu NY Steak with a lobster tail and flourless choc cake. Butternut squash soup, buratta, lobster risotto and crème burley. Every item was cooked to perfection. I have never heard my husband give so much praise to how outstanding his steak was. The timing of each part of the 4 course meal was perfect. The musician played great music with out being to loud. Ryan our favorite server took great care of us. We will be back. Sparrow is our favorite neighborhood restaurant! (I forgot to include that there was a singe stemmed red rose on our table when we were seated which I thought was a very nice touch done for all guests)

Our first time eating here, despite being locals. The food isn't fancy, but it is good. Mostly authentic Bavarian fare, with a few modern dishes or modern takes on tradition (i.e., habanero-cheddar or Sichuan wursts). Good local tap line. And 5 indoor bocce ball courts! Where else can you find that in Seattle? We went early on a Friday before an event, and the place was pretty sleepy other than a private party at the back. The service was slow but friendly. I think they were still ramping up for the dinner crowd. It is a big place, with lots of seating. Outdoor garden seating with another bocche court as well. I can imagine it might get a bit loud when full. We will definitely go back.

We’ve been here many times and Bake’s Place never disappoints. It’s one of our most favorite places to go. Service, food and entertainment are always outstanding. You just can’t get an experience like this anywhere else in the Seattle/Bellevue area. 

The oysters and fisherman’s stew were incredible. My only regret was I didn’t get a bowl of bisque to go. Highly recommended.
