Best American Restaurants in Mountlake Terrace

Very innovative dishes (main and small) that were delightful. Ambience was subdued in high-walled, outward facing booths. It was a clever arrangement to accommodate larger boisterous parties and still have a romantic setting for couples. Service and presentation were flawless. Cocktails were creative, beautiful and delicious. Can’t think of one thing that could be better.

We are never disappointed! Great in every aspect.

I had asked not to be outside in heated room and was told we would have a booth. We got there early and saw people coming and going. I noticed that it was already 6 minutes pass our reservation time. The two three front house employees looked concern to find a table. It seems they gave away our booth & ended up putting us in the outdoor room with heaters. One third of the heaters were on low including both of the ones on either side of our table. I asked for the heater to be turned up. The server turned one up and suggested I change places with one of my guests since it was warmer where he was sitting. I guess I was in the drafty area. I was not going to inconvenience a guest. I already had a cold and kept my coat on. Every diner in that room had their coats on except for the couples sitting at the fireplace tables. That should have been a clue to the staff to turn up ALL of the heaters on full blast. I tipped more than the required 20% for my party of six because the server was amazing even the everything was late.

We love BAr Dojo! Their ahi poke tacos are incredilbe! So are the pork belly tacos!Their coctails are unique and very good. We went for Valentines' dayand their speical cocktail was so good! Lichee, pink gin, rose syrup and lemon! We also had a bourbon cocktial with orange liquour, can't remember it's name, that was super yum! Their almond cake with butter pecan ice cream was the perfect finish! This is our go to place for special occasions. It's not a large place and esy to miss, in a little strip of shops and 5 corners. You definitely need a reservation because it's a neighborhood gem!

We had our Valentine's Dinner here on the 13'th as we had a concert in town. The place was packed but we were seated right away by the Host, JD. Our server, Phyllis, was super ! She explained the special VDay Menu and coached us on how much to order. The small green salad was perfectly sharable before our entrees. My wife had the Shrimp and Squash Risotto. It was excellent ! I went with the Seafood Pot on this cold, snowy night. Boy did hit the spot. The bowl was filled with shrimp, mussels, clams, and vegetables in a tasty seafood broth. HOME RUN !!! Also, I can't say enough about their homemade bread. YUM ! We also splurged on their special homemade pastry desert. It complimented our house made cappuccinos to finish a delightful meal. Kudos to the Chef and whole Staff ! We will be going back, and soon ! Cheers !
