Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Mercer Island

Always a good experience here. Small, intimate, not pretentious, excellent service. You can find a less expensive steak at other venues, but the value here is the total experience. For those choosing to come, be advised that there is parking directly behind the restaurant. Don't drive yourself into a psychotic state looking for on-street parking.

The lox and bagel brunch at Stella was delicious and the service from Tony was exceptual.

Our first time eating here, despite being locals. The food isn't fancy, but it is good. Mostly authentic Bavarian fare, with a few modern dishes or modern takes on tradition (i.e., habanero-cheddar or Sichuan wursts). Good local tap line. And 5 indoor bocce ball courts! Where else can you find that in Seattle? We went early on a Friday before an event, and the place was pretty sleepy other than a private party at the back. The service was slow but friendly. I think they were still ramping up for the dinner crowd. It is a big place, with lots of seating. Outdoor garden seating with another bocche court as well. I can imagine it might get a bit loud when full. We will definitely go back.

Bart, Francis and their team are outstanding. Loved the chowder soup and taco salad! Super friendly and great atmosphere. Highly recommend and will go back over and over again!

Jimmy’s is great for brunch in all respects. It’s quiet and the staff are friendly and efficient. As a result of the cooks being professional and experienced, the food is super, too.
