Hubby and I went here with high hopes.  They had refrigeration problems and therefore had extremely limited menu offerings. Ok, I understand that. But then,  the husband orders a vodka martini and it comes out kinda light brown colored.  Odd. He tastes it and it has bitters in it. He took it back to the bar and the bartender  tells him it's a "classic" martini and that he should have ordered something else.  Well, we've probably ordered about  1,000 martinis at bars everywhere and this definitely was NOT a classic martini of vodka or gin with a whiff of vermouth.  Then, the waitress brings out a replacement and says that she "guesses we didn't want the classic martini".  When did vodka and bitters become a classic martini??  I don't need to pay money to argue with someone half my age. WTF ever happened to customer service?
Review Source:Food was fine, not memorable or exciting. Sunday happy hour really wasn't any big deal. Half off signature cocktails was good for price point but the cocktails didn't taste like they had liquor in them.
The service was with maybe 2 stars. It looked like there were two servers there but one was hiding behind the counter and I saw her eating when I went to the bathroom.
The waiter seemed in a hurry to get us out. He wanted to take menus away after we ordered an appetizer and drinks.
They have Beecher's mac'n'cheese but it doesn't taste like the stuff from the Beecher's store.
It looks like they use the patio for outdoor seating but they didn't have any seats outside. Â And the tables are soooo tiny.
All in all, it's decent but for foodies or big happy hour fans, I'd skip it.
I recently hosted a bridal shower here and got nothing but rave reviews from the guests. Ric was very helpful setting it up and completely understanding of our budget. The food was great and presented well. I will certainly be coming back to host an event. Hats off to Ric and his team!
Review Source:Last night I attended Working Women & Wine Wednesday. While there was only one winery (or wine representative), the tasting was only $1 and the wine rep had three very good wines that we were able to taste. I was surprised that there were only a few vendors onsite but considering the small space, I think it worked out nicely for them.
The food and drinks were exceptional! They have an oustanding happy hour with half off cocktails and $2 off beer/wine. The food was very tasty, we ordered caprese flatbread (the pesto sauce was a nice touch), thai chili shrimp with a pineapple salsa (cooked to perfection, very tender and not overcooked and dry) and pulled pork sliders (two sliders with a mountain of pork on them). We also ordered their senorita cocktails with el jimador tequila, so so so yummy and fresh, a perfect spring/summer beverage.
The service was above and beyond. All servers were super friendly and as busy as they were, they checked up on us frequently. The GM, Ric, was great and checked in with us as well.
We will definitely be back to enjoy their outdoor patio when it gets warmer!
I went to 1 Hundred Bistro & Bar and enjoyed the french dip sandwich and appetizers but didn't get more food than that. However, I wish to be more impressed with the decor and atmosphere. I know they just opened, but I didn't like their makeshift speaker setup which looked very unprofessional and was turned up way too loud.
Review Source:I absolutely love this place! The service, food, drinks and everything else is phenomenal. Â Very nice and accommodating staff. I especially appreciate that the owner, Ric, is always there. He's very invested in making 1 Hundred Bellevue's new prime spot! Keep up the good work! I will continue to be a regular here!
Review Source:I dine out almost every night and frequently in downtown Bellevue so I know all the best bars and restaurants down there and this is definitely not one of them and here's why: Â The owner is a complete snob and will not even look in your direction unless you're one of his buddies or a hot chick. I expect to be treated like a patron that they want as a repeat customer which I'm happy to be, but the vibe feels like they wish I'd go away and never come back. The food is ok, but the experience was much better with the previous owner who at least took the time to learn your name and have a convo with you. This Rick guy needs to get what the bar and restaurant biz is all about and it's not about him giving preferential treatment to his customers or they'll be gone, baby, gone, like me.
Review Source:I'm a huge fan of wine bars/ bistro's. When Bellevue became home to a new bistro I couldn't wait to try it out. I went on fat Tuesday with a friend there was a DJ, super cool ambiance. We shared the ahi poke, flatbread and shrimp, delish! We sat at the bar the bartender, she was very attentive and nice the service was super fast! Â Not long after our food order our yummy plates arrived. I had there pino, was also very good, there wine list was surprising I was very impressed. I definitely recommend this bistro. Great job so far guys keep up the good work!
Review Source:My wife and I just moved into the building above this bistro. We were excited to see the place under construction and was able to visit now twice in the last few weeks plus a takeout order. Good crowd, Â nice ambiance. Service is quick, friendly, and attentive. Drink and wine selection good. Food was very good. Read that to chef was from the Four Seasons property in AZ. My wife is now an addict for the crab dip. All plates we have sampled have been terrific, fresh, decently priced. Â They are also serving a breakfast for 13 bucks on the weekend, will try that this weekend.
Review Source:I have lived in Downtown Bellevue for four years and am a cheerleader for all of the amazing restaurants and bars that we have in our little part of the city. Every week I gather up a group of my friends and we hit a local happy hour and are rarely disappointed. One year our goal was to hit every single happy hour in the one mile-ish radius that is DT Bellevue and we did! I have seen many restaurants come and go and am beyond excited when we have a new place to try.
We loved Grand Cru and were sad to see it close down, it had my five stars! When I saw the signs going up on the space, i scoured my trusty sources on Twitter and Facebook and found that 1 Hundred Bistro & Bar was opening soon. I called the restaurant and spoke with Ric, who I believe is the owner. I made a reservation for a party of eight for February 12th and he assured me that the bar has a Happy Hour menu that includes drinks and food, it would be posted by February 11th. Today, February 13th, it is still not posted, granted it is the morning.
When we arrived at the location at 5:30, there were plenty of people sitting at the bar and a couple of people in the private room that seemed to be having a business conversation. The rest of the bar was pretty empty and the server said we could sit anywhere, I asked if we could sit at the only table that could hold six people and she said we could. I told her I had a reservation for a party of eight and if this was the table that was set up for us, she said sure. Since the place just opened, I am going to give them a break on this. Â
I asked for the happy hour menu and the server told us they had beer and wine on happy hour. I clarified that I was told when I called that the bar had a happy hour menu that included food, she said they did not. She said there was some type of issue at the printer, so they did not have the menus printed. I understand, there can be issues when a new place opens. No problem. Tell us what food items are on happy hour and we will figure it out. This was a no go, no food on happy hour, period. I told her I would contact the rest of my party and direct them elsewhere, since there were plenty of places within blocks that did have a happy hour. She came back and we were offered a 20% discount off of the bill, which is kind of silly, we just wanted to see the actual happy hour menu, that is why our group came to this specific place at this specific time. I hit the restaurant up on Twitter as I called, texted and emailed my friends to meet me at another venue, Blue Martini which now has HH until 8, yay! The person representing 1 Hundred Bistro on Twitter, I assume the owner, insisted that they have a "very competitive" happy hour with $5 food items. I tweeted back, show me, we would love to see that. Still nothing. We were tweeted "First round on us. #customerservice". I respectfully disagree. #customerservice would have been to tell us what items were supposed to be on happy hour and honor that. Under promise, over deliver - not the opposite.
I was not too impressed with the #customerservice at 1 Hundred Bistro & Bar or the limited menu that I saw with my eyeballs. Hopefully the full menu and the happy hour menu (with food!) will be available soon and we can check out what promises to be another fabulous happy hour venue in DT Bellevue.
My review will be updated accordingly after my next visit.
