Best Historic Restaurants in Kenmore

Truly lovely dining experience with friends. We have always had good food here, but the service has been spotty. This time the service was exceptional and consistent with he quality of the food and ambience of this historic venue. Our server’s suggestion of the specialty pork belly dish to share was a hit with everyone at the table. Her service was quick and well timed. She had a good sense of when to let us enjoy our drinks and appetizers and when to appear to take our order. We all enjoyed the sablefish which was wonderfully done in a unique presentation with cabbage. The room is a little noisy. The grounds and hotel are festively decorated for the holiday making it a nice place to celebrate the season with friends.

Love it so much we are coming back on Saturday bringing my parents. Another fantastic meal, we may have to rent a place in Kirkland so that we don't have to keep driving the hour each way to get here. Fernando, Cindy, Tony and the rest of the wonderful team makes us feel like family. The food is excellent, I love the selection of wines and my Wife and I have decided to go through the menu trying everything. Started with Prosciutto e Melone a great bottle of Super Tuscan Wine, the directly to the I had the Pasta Meatball with Marsalla Sauce and the Wife had Lemon Chicken and finished it off with Limoncello Gelato with a shot of Limoncello (according to my Wife that is the best way to have it). Everything was wonderful and had great flavor. I am not sure what they did to the marsalla sauce but it was the best I have ever had. When we come back on Saturday I may have to have it again. My Parents love coming here, but they only want to come when Tony is there becuase they love his singing and the energy and extra love he brings. What a great start to Christmas week.

Best cocktail bar in town! And I'm talkin the greater Seattle metro area town, not just the little Bothell town.

As always, the food was phenomenal, the service (Dan and Cayden) were attentive, personable, and outright wonderful. Our ONLY issue was that there was an event going on upstairs that was so loud and obnoxious that I couldn't hear my own wife talking right next to me. The staff did what they could, but, as it was explained to us, given the separation between the two components (events and restaurant), the restaurant staff doesn't have any actual control over the events. If you're making a reservation, it is worth calling to ensure that they don't have an event going on upstairs at the same time.

Always a good time at Nui Nui! The drinks were amazing, and staff checked on us repeatedly. They accommodated 6 of us easily and split our check quite easily which was great.
