Best Restaurants with Dancing in Mercer Island

My favorite foodie hangout. Great small plates plus delicious mains. The owner, Hallie, is a champagne aficionado, so the bubbly is sublime yet affordable. Hard to find that in this town. Plus great decor and an attentive, friendly, even jovial crew, with bartenders who live to create. And we never feel rushed to gobble up and leave. A perfect Capitol Hill haunt.

We went on the OOLA distillery tour and decided to have dinner at OOLA Capitol Hill afterwards — BEST DECISION, and such a fun way to spend the afternoon. The signature burger and fries are BY FAR the best burger I’ve ever had. My husband and I each had a cocktail, and they were superb. The staff were really nice and the atmosphere was really relaxed and fun. We had a great time! We live about an hour away from Seattle and I’m not exaggerating when I say that we will be driving back for that burger again!

Carmine’s is one of the best food experiences we have had in awhile! Service was exceptional, the lobster pasta special was a dream, the fillet with gnocchi was lovely. And the bread pudding was amazing. Thank you for a great evening. We will be back!

We (family of 4 adults) ate brunch here the midmorning after Christmas and really enjoyed our meal. The food was very good, the service was attentive and courteous and the ambiance excellent. We lingered over our meal for almost 2 hours and felt the staff didn’t try to rush us out. Highly recommended.

This was our first, but definitely not last time at Como! Food, especially the porcini risotto, and drinks were fantastic. Our waiter, Georgie, was affable, funny, knowledgeable and a general pleasure who went above and beyond. We strongly recommend Como to anyone looking for fine Italian - easily one of our new favorite places on the Eastside!
