Carmine’s
88 102nd Ave NE, Bellevue, WA 98004
For a touch of elegance, Carmine’s is the perfect spot. Start with their iconic Testarossa Martini, savor the Suprema di Pollo Farcita, and don’t you dare skip the Red Velvet Cake—it’s pure perfection!
DERU Market

This place feels like a cozy hug with incredible eats. Pair the Beet Lemon Muddle Mocktailwith their Parmesan Fries and House Remoulade, and dive into the Cacio e Pepe. End on a sweet note with a slice of their Chocolate or Carrot Cake and a Café Latte—dreamy!

Craving bold flavors? Their Carne Asada is melt-in-your-mouth good, and the Mango Sorbet is a light and refreshing treat.
Como

You can’t go wrong with the Lopez Island Clams here—so fresh and flavorful. Finish things off with their decadent Tiramisu.
Asadero

A meat lover’s dream! The Ribeye Tacos and Ultra Fillet are absolute stars. And the Papa Loca (a loaded baked potato) will leave you wanting more.
Jack’s Grill
14 Front St N, Issaquah, WA 98027
Jack’s is a classic for a reason. Their Beef Wellington is divine, the Baked Potato Side is perfectly comforting, and honestly, any steak here is a home run.
