I have had a chance to eat at a few of the Din Tai Fungs. They are very consistent and food is just amazing. It is reasonably priced for the quality. Suggest trying Garlic Green beans, Port wonton, shaved ice and fruits desert.
2. John Howie Steak
Overall Ratings

John Howie Steak - a downtown Bellevue favorite. Located in the Bravern near 405 (freeway) off of 8th Ave. A great happy hour with a near famous cheeseburger, bar and lounge open till 11pm or midnight. Fine dining in the dining room. Lunch is quite reasonable ($12-$15 entreees) and delicious. Premium steakhouse for lunch meetings, dates or of course any occasion for dinner. Private dining rooms available as well. Catering available. A fine dining restaurant with more casual options for lunch, happy hour, the bar and lounge.

We had a group of about 20 for dinner. Our arranged dinner was apparently booked at the El Gaucho Seattle and we showed up at Bellevue location - oops! The staff quickly set up one of their private rooms for us and we encountered very little hassle. The name led us to believe it was a regional cuisine type however it’s really a steak house. The food was tasty, plenty of good veggies and the bourbon chocolate dessert was raved about.

We loved this place! Very cute and cozy, with plenty of choices for vegetarians. We got the mezze platter, the falafel salad, and the fool moudamas. Everything was delicious, and the wine was also great (especially for the price)! Not to mention, the service was outstanding. Our server made us feel like family. I highly, highly recommend!

You certainly get your protein fix eating at this restaurant. The atmosphere is lovely, warm and welcoming. The food was fantastic as was the wine. The steaks are large but they do have smaller options that are equally tender. The desserts are amazing also so can’t fault this place and would recommend it as a nice night out.
8. Maggiano's

Reviewed By GH_traveler_CH - Gig Harbor, Washington
Great service! When they found out it was our first visit, the chef brought out a complimentary appetizer. Our server was very efficient and personable. On the main menu, the "chef's special" (on the bottom right) means you get a second "take home" entree free. My wife and I went for lunch Saturday, and Maggiano's was all we ate all weekend!
The atmosphere reminds me of classic European restaurants; open spaces, yet private enough for an intimate meal (we were celebrating a three generation occasion).
Basement parking on weekends is free, and elevators take you from the north garage right to the restaurant entrance.

Cactus is a favorite of my family for more sophisticated Mexican food, but the Bellevue location disappointed. Slow bar service, favorite dishes not up to par, and the general atmosphere were a let down. It was the week before Christmas and before Snowflake lane, but I will go elsewhere in Bellevue Square and stick to Kirkland for Cactus.

Purple Café and Wine Bar pairs a global wine selection with a menu that combines classic American styles with seasonal Northwest ingredients.
Reviewed By Dan S - Washington
We stopped in for dinner and were not disappointed. We ordered the Brie cheese appetizer with grapes and crackers. Their presentation was amazing and how the grapes complimented the cheese. For dinner we had steak and a lamb dish, both were exceptional. The steak was cooked perfectly and the lamp was so tender and delicious. Our server was great and friendly. This location has a lot more elbow and breathing room than the Woodinville location.
