From the owners of Il Terrazzo Carmine, one of Seattle"s most iconic and beloved establishments, comes Carmine's Bellevue. Carmine's Bellevue brings to the east side the same level of quality in service, food, and ambiance that has made its sister restaurant a true institution in Downtown Seattle. Located at 88 102nd Avenue in Bellevue's historic Old Bellevue neighborhood, Carmines is nestled against Bellevue Park. With a rustic, timeless interior, Carmine's provides patrons an escape from the increasingly urbanized way of life. Upscale and elegant, Carmine's feels anything but stiff and pretentious. Good for business meetings, special occasions, or simply dining with loved ones, Carmine's Bellevue is a true destination on the east side.

This was our first time dining at Daniel's Broiler and we couldn't have been happier. My husband and I celebrated our 37th wedding anniversary and everything from the cocktails to appetizer to dinner and dessert was absolutely delicious. Furthermore, we enjoyed the staff who were friendly, helpful and attentive. We requested a view or special table and had a beautiful view of downtown Bellevue where the street trees were illuminated with their white lights. We look forward to celebrating another special occasion at Daniel's Broiler!

The full churrasco experience was great as always, but the beef ribs and also the cheese with honey were exceptional! The meat from the beef ribs literally melts in your mouth! That’s serious barbecue. I can’t wait to go back!
