I migliori ristoranti per il brunch a Mercer Island

The food was SO good. You can tell a real Italian chef works there. The calamari (not breaded) was tender and delicious. I got the beef and pork bolognese and it was the perfect portion size and very flavorful. It was perfect meal for such a cold day. I'm not sure what my husband got, but it was a pasta that was also delicious. The ambience was also so cozy. There's this beautiful wood paneling every where that made you feel like you were stepping back in time and there was a really good pianist that made it all feel luxurious. They also had a real Christmas tree which smelled amazing and added to the cozy feel. The host was so sweet, but the service (waiter) overall wasn't great. He rolled his eyes and walked away when I asked him if they could make a new york sour (which is a common and not difficult drink). It then took extra long to get the drink. Actually both the first and second drinks took well over 20 min (each) despite the restaurant being half empty. It's not a big deal, it just rubbed me the wrong way.

Overall, a great experience. Strange that the front door was left open the entire night on a very chilly evening. There was some of problem with the lock where (-according to the hostess) the door had to be fully open or closed and several patrons complained about it being open.  The power went off at some point because of the bomb cyclone, but the team handled it very well. Would definitely return. 

Great place to meet for cocktails. The fireplace is especially nice on a winter late afternoon - evening.

Exceptional food and love the ambiance, felt like I was in Europe, very cool and subtle decor. Our waitress was very accommodating and the food came out fast. Would definitely go again.

We participated in the Seattle Dine Around. The food was delicious and the service was very attentive. Would definitely go back.
