Just had dinner there again on January 26th 2024. We arrived at 4:45 pm and needed to leave by 6:10 pm to go to a kraken hockey game. Our entries did not show up till 6:10pm +. We did not have time to eat and left our entries on the table. The manager was worthless! All she did was argue with us blaming us for not informing the waiter we were short on time. All the manager did was argue with us.

Pretentious...Nestled in downtown Kirkland, open kitchen, white linen tablecloth, large 1 paged menu, and separate specials menu, Yada Yada, Yada. It goes downhill from there yet entertaining. We came to celebrate a friend's birthday, his choice of venue. We get there, cozy enough of a joint, almost full restaurant, and definitely a full bar. Our waiter comes by and in a very loud voice. Maybe he's used to senior citizens? Maybe because I have mostly "frosted" hair, as do my dinner guest, announces that he would be taking care of us tonight. He then, for whatever reason, stampers that he's got a " Brain fart." as he forgets his train of thought. Underwhelmed, we order drinks, and while we're enjoying the company and delicious bread, a patron from the corner of the bar nearest me begins to stumble out. I initially thought he might have been an ADA individual but, upon further review, realized that he was horribly intoxicated. I had to press all the way into my table to allow him to pass by. When he brushes by the now deemed "server," he almost fell and had to use a nearby cocktail table to hold himself up. A very slight female goes to his aid, and as I ask the server, "Shouldn't you go help the individual," he calmly states, "No, she's the manager." Hold the applause... The manager helps the wretched soul out into frigid, 22 degree night, then comes immediately back in. The server comments, " Boy! Someone's going to make another $400 night!" We were perplexed. He then explains, "When he 'hurls' in the Uber, the driver will charge the additional fee!" At that point, I thought perhaps we deserved the additional $400 for him "hurling" this additional unnecessary banter. The meal arrived, nothing to scream about. Standard fare, overly salted bolonese with a creamy tomato sauce. I should have read the fine print. The birthday guy had the same but gluten free, partner had the lobster risotto, which she enjoyed, and our fourth had the wild boar. Long winded... What started out to be a great dining experience in celebration of our friends double nickle birthday turned out to be a fun night out enjoying each other's company. No photos. Who wants to see pictures of creamy tomato blahs? I did think the plating for the wild boar was nice!
