DESCRIPTION: Our party of 10 had 6:45 reservations and were seated in a timely manner. But it took another 20 minutes until the manager wandered by and we asked for a waitress to take our orders. We were only given 5 menus to share. No salads came with the dinners, and portion sizes were small for the price. Food was good, just extremely poor service. We were charged for an 11th meal we never ordered.

Great View, Great Service, wonderful Food
DESCRIPTION: I went to Arnies years ago for a special occassion, some how I forgot about the restaurant until recently a friend said lets meet for Happy Hour, I obliged and when I arrived the place was packed, I remember it being busy but this was crazy, while I waited for a seat to open a server approached us for a cocktail order and we proceeded to wait, I never felt like lets get out of this rat race instead it was fun to watch and listen, it sounds like the staff really enjoys what they are doing and it shows, once we got a table I was impressed the prices, the selection and finally the food came and the portions! Wow! 1/2 the price but not 1/2 the size, I wish I knew I wouldn't have ordered so much, but then again who care's I can and I did take the rest home to enjoy later. I will not wait as long to go back, I highly reccomend this restaurant and lounge. Obviously the managers and owners know something about running a great restaurant.

Top notch
DESCRIPTION: This restaurant has everything: a breathtaking atmosphere, great food, reasonable prices and the red carpet service. It has a bar on the lower level and dining on the upper level with fireplaces and cast iron walkways and giant metal machinery. Located in the steam plant, you can tour the area and stand inside the base one of the two giant smokestacks and look up to see the sky. Great place for a date.

European Dining on Bainbridge Island
DESCRIPTION: This local bistro has some of the best food you'll find outside of France! Their sauces are incredible; try the rosemary chicken. The wine list is quite large for a small restaurant but very reasonably priced. Ambiance is romantic & relaxed. The staff very friendly willing to guide you through your meal.

Excellent dishes
DESCRIPTION: I have dined at Ruby's twice by the recommendation of my mother who lives only 2 miles from the bistro. The food is excellent and the bistro is cozy. It is a bit on the expensive side, but worth it for the treat.

Amazing, quite pleasant, not pretentious
DESCRIPTION: As good as 98% of the 'good' restaurants in Seattle, but not pretentious, quality ingredients well prepared, not afraid of flavors, but not 42 ingredients in search of a cuisine. Comfortable bistro atmosphere. Good service. And we're picky.
