Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Redmond

We were there on day 1 of a massive WA power outage.where most of east side seattle was experiencing a blackout and the few restaurants that were open had a 90 mins wait and frazzled skeleton staff. We drive around for a while and decided to make a last attempt at Redmond Town center and see if we could find a decent place with a reasonable wait. you never would have known this was all happening based on our experience at Matt’s. We were greeted and seated promptly. The staff were so cheerful and we were very hungry and our server took our order right away. I had the halibut fish tacos. Delicious and substantial pieces of fish in the 2 tacos. My friend enjoyed her steak bites and fries. I hadn’t been to Matt’s in years but will return after this experience.

A beautiful location; view; decor; vibes; and wonderful service all around and fabulous wine. Having been to Como and Italy numerous times and a HUGE fan of Italian food, it wasn’t our favorite for food and flavor especially compared to other local options. The fried green tomatoes were very thick, hard to eat, lacked flavor, the focaccia was over toasted, the pizza was similar to standard pepperoni pizza you can get anywhere. Main dishes were okay but I was expected to be blown away compared to much higher price point than other local Italian restaurants we prefer. That said ambience, views and service AWESOME. Definitely would go back for drinks and the view!

Amazing food, great friendly wait staff. Always make a point to go when visiting Seattle.

I was surprised that on a Friday at lunch time this place wasn’t packed. The three of us each had a savoury pie. They came with a generous sized salad and were all very good.

I particularly want to give a shout out to our server who checked for food allergens and made lemonade from scratch because you didn't carry it. He was so thoughtful and efficient and really made the experience outstanding.
