Best Historic Restaurants in Mercer Island

It was a pleasure to be able to celebrate retiring at Daniel’s. What an amazing dinner. Everything was superb. The bacon wrapped scallops were so good, filet was cooked perfectly and the salmon was so flavorful and melted in my mouth. We will look forward to our next celebration there.

It was very nice tea time there ! We had a great time! Only one thing I was disappointed that we didn’t get tea as gift take it home…

This place is amazing, from the ambience to the delicious food and the wonderful staff. The menu is very versatile. There are so many choices. Everything was incredible! If you love meatballs try them for an appetizer. They are some of the best we have ever had. One of the best experiences dining at a restaurant. So beautifully decorated for the holidays Thank you Carmine’s for such a wonderful evening.

I recently dined at Il Terrazzo Carmine in Seattle to celebrate a birthday, and it was an exceptional experience. We secured a 5 PM reservation, and the restaurant offers complimentary valet parking inside a nearby garage, which, once validated, is free during dinner service. Though tucked between two large buildings and not visible from the main streets, a quick loop revealed the valet sign. Upon arrival, the friendly staff welcomed us warmly, offering coat check, and the cozy ambiance, complete with chandeliers and an upscale setting, felt perfect for the occasion. Compared to their Bellevue location, the Seattle spot was quieter and more convenient with ideal parking. We began with a few drinks and an assorted antipasti plate, complemented by their delicious freshly baked bread and butter. For the main course, we mistakenly ordered larger pasta portions, but the leftovers were a welcome bonus. The evening ended on a sweet note with a complimentary tiramisu, adding to the thoughtful and memorable experience. I would highly recommend Il Terrazzo Carmine for a date night or celebratory dinner and look forward to returning.

Wonderful catch up lunch with a friend at Stella. The ambiance was fantastic, as was the service. And the food was excellent…crisp lettuce in our salads, excellent fruit, and the chicken was grilled to perfection. We were very happy.
