Best Romantic Restaurants in Mercer Island

Fun experience…really liked that the service cooked and prepared the meat for us at the table…I wasn’t sure if we were going to have to cook it ourselves. The staff were great!

I feel this is a very special place and possibly the best dinner we've had anywhere. The staff are attentive, knowledgeable, & amazing. The dishes are unbelievably well crafted, amazing flavors, great presentation, to die for, I'm not just talking Seattle. Spinasse is a top 3 for me, if not number one in my book. Going back for my bday 🙂

Wonderful experience! The food was amazing. Atmosphere spectacular! Only issue was that we made reservations several weeks in advance as we were coming in to town to celebrate a friend’s bday. When we got there we had to wait 20 mins to be seated after our reservation as several parties were seated before us (not sure their reservation time) and then we were placed at a communal table with other guests although there was an open private table that would have fit our party. Once we got over that the remainder of the service was great. Drinks 10; Chicken Mojo 10; Greens & Mac 10; and please don’t skip the yeast rolls with crab butter - life changing!!

Food and service was as always, exceptional I just wish they would use a proper ice cube when making and old fashioned drink. My only complaint. But otherwise it’s always a superb experience as a loyal customer! Pork chop was and is always phenomenal!

Two of us had lunch at Allister. It was a very cold day and I had arrived early to find the doors locked. But ... the hostess saw me and let me in early so that I would not have to wait outside in the cold. That level of consideration was typical of the service we received throughout. We talked quite a bit after we had finiished our food and no attempt was made to rush us out. The food was good and arrived quite quickly. The only drawback to the restaurant is the noise level. Once the restaurant fillls up it can be hard to hear your table companion.
