Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Newcastle

My husband and I just celebrated a late Valentine Day dinner tonight at Wild Fin in Issaquah. We were seated near a fireplace, which added a romantic touch to our experience. The server was very nice and very busy! We arrived at 4:30 PM, placed our order very soon after and were served quickly. My prawn scampi was very delicious, and my husband loved his seafood fettucine dish. The servings were generous, enough so that we brought half home for dinner tomorrow night. We shared a serving of chocolate cake, with vanilla ice cream, for dessert. It was yummy and decadent! The only reason why I gave four stars, rather than five, is that we had to wait a substantial time for dessert (what seemed like 20 minutes). It was very busy, with a lot of customers, but not totally full. It just seemed to us that it shouldn't have taken so long to slice a piece of cake, heat it up a bit, and apply a scoop of ice cream on top! For the most part, our experience was a very positive one, however. I would recommend this restaurant to other people.

Great food and service. Clearly one of the great secrets for the South Seattle area.

The lox and bagel brunch at Stella was delicious and the service from Tony was exceptual.

We showed up 45 minutes early by accident for a party of 4 dinner on Valentine's evening, and they were able to seat us right away anyway, which was amazing! We loved our waitress Coka, who was wonderful and very attentive! The restaurant was beautiful with pink napkins and white tablecloths and a lovely fireplace. The place was full of laughter and love. The food was beautifully presented and yummy. Cocktails, too! The service staff was exceptional and went above and beyond to make sure everyone had plates cleared in time between courses. There was no rush for us to eat and leave. We'll be back and can't wait to enjoy it in the summer as well!

Bart, Francis and their team are outstanding. Loved the chowder soup and taco salad! Super friendly and great atmosphere. Highly recommend and will go back over and over again!
