Christmas dinner. Our original table was a booth barely big enough for 4 that they tried to add a chair to for the 5th in our party. We requested another table and was given one in a room way behind the kitchen that apparently was in a meeting room. It was quieter but our server had a ways to go to get to us and the other party in there. We had to catch her to even get a drink refill (only got one). The menu was very limited (even less than what was online). Our food was delivered to the table exactly 45 minutes after our reservation time (we were early too). The food was fine according to everyone but nothing to knock anyone's socks off, being in that back room was not special and they were playing music I would expect in a Mexican restaurant. Not a "holiday family celebration".

The best part about our Christmas breakfast was sitting near the fireplace on a chilly morning, and the excellent service we received. The food was ok, not exceptional, We had the eggs benedict and one of us had the McMenamin's two egg breakfast. There was an overpowering smell of woodsmoke from outside (not the fireplace), and the music playing was Italian Opera played way too loudly.

Great ambiance and food! The only problem and not necessarily our server but it took FOREVER to get our food, and there were only 4 of us. But during the wait our server didn’t ask if we wanted additional drinks, we needed to flag them down to ask for another drink.

The ribeye and pork chop special were excellent. We brought two older ladies celebrating their birthdays, one 101 yrs, one 89. Service was slow, especially after main dish arrived. Our server never brought our requested coffees and finally hunted her down so we could pay and leave

Holy terrible. Waited 45 minutes and still didn’t receive food. Have been here a couple dozen times but this was our last. Mcminnamons has been really falling apart which is a shame. There’s a ton of potential in Bothell but I guess they think there’s no completion. I look forward to them failing in the next few years.
