4 /5 John Lam: Standard American fine dining meets expectations. Their dish Steak David evokes a character from the bible and wonderment which part of himself David sacrificed for the steak. I usually choose filet mignon medium rare, but this dish comes only medium, and though its tender, it lacks the beefy aroma and taste a hot grill sears into steak.
The steak, sautéed spinach, housemade hollandaise, and spaghetti arrived perfectly. Portioning the spaghetti by filling then inverting a bowl guarantees consistent portions, but it looks like a goofy upside-down bowl of spaghetti. No matter, it tastes fine.
The stained oak paneling looks classic, but the maîtred set the house lights too dim. Other reviews also complain. Our ten-top needed more diode lanterns.
My major objection to affairs here lays in the ill-gotten lands under Bellevue Place, Bellevue Square, and properties Miller Freeman won after he lobbied for Executive Order 9066 in 1942 to force ethnic Japanese Bellevue farmers off their land and into concentration camps.
The restaurant validates up to 3 hours of parking in the garage under Bellevue Place, but gates open and allow free exit after 8pm anyway.
