"What do you get when you cross a 31st-floor view of Downtown Bellevue with an abundance of Pat LaFrieda beef and cocktails featuring “mixed berry air?” Welcome to Ascend, the Seattle area's most stylish steakhouse—which could use more substance. Unless you run casual shopping errands at The Bravern or your boss is picking up the check, it’s best to limit your exposure to this elitist amusement park. Ascend mainly excels in lounge-bound snacks and drinks. From leather chair fortresses, you can soak in the skyline and frenetic chatter, guzzle coupes of pear-sweetened Grey Goose, and double-fist spicy tuna handrolls and snooty-but-solid riffs on deviled eggs. Call it a day after that, because a full dinner here is ultimately disappointing, especially if you get seated in Ascend’s soulless back room. Starters are miniature, bland, or both. Steaks can’t hold a candle to Seattle’s repertoire. And then there’s dessert. Ascend’s sweets are whimsical art projects, and the presentation is certainly admirable—until you realize that the edible forested microcosm you paid $22 for is just chocolate pudding. You really want an expensive elevator ride that badly? Go to the Space Needle. Food Rundown photo credit: Ascend Prime Steak & Sushi Nitamago Deviled Eggs Catapult us toward a window sofa with these deviled eggs and we’d never leave—only available in the lounge, these decadent vehicles for bacon jam and whipped yolk taste good chased by a cocktail. photo credit: Makena Yee Spicy Tuna & Prosciutto Handroll If consuming sushi at a steakhouse is important to you, this pleasant (and thoroughly spicy) handroll belongs on your plate. A bundle of buttery prosciutto adds a welcome dose of pork—we’re just bummed there isn’t more throughout the cone. photo credit: Ascend Prime Steak & Sushi King Salmon & Ikura Sushi Tacos The fish inside this thing is great, but pairing a wafer-crisp wonton shell with a cumbersome sheet of nori in the same handheld item makes it a mess to bite. To top it off, the ikura is marinated far beyond recognition. We never met a more skippable appetizer. photo credit: Ascend Prime Steak & Sushi Pork Belly No crimes are being committed, but shelling out $27 for a few thin slices of broiled pork belly and exactly three thimble-sized agnolotti (with pasta sheets rolled one notch too thick at that) is not particularly satisfying. photo credit: Ascend Prime Steak & Sushi Steak The steaks don’t have much of a seared crust going on, and the cheaper cuts tend to suffer from a lack of charisma. Order some luxe marbled wagyu, or keep it moving. photo credit: Makena Yee Potato Puree & Butter No need for boring truffle mac when you have a silky puree duo of yukon golds and purple okinawan sweets. Truly the best route to take for dinner here would be to go in on some handrolls and a personal pile of mashed potatoes. photo credit: Ascend Prime Steak & Sushi Magic Mushroom Essentially, a dirt cup for grown adults who can part with $22 for a dirt cup." - Aimee Rizzo

"There’s no shortage of high-end restaurants in Bellevue’s Lincoln Square, but why not go right to the top? Ascend is on the literal 31st floor of the building, where you get a panoramic view plus indoor fires plus food that is honestly probably more impressive than it needs to be. There’s showoff-y items on here like the $100-and-up caviar service, $75 crab legs, or the $209 45-ounce “seahawk” chop steak, but we prefer the still-luxurious happy hour menu, where you can get $20 koji-smoked wagyu beef cheek sliders." - Harry Cheadle

"Seattleites who still fly the flannel with pride may get all snooty about the Bellevue-by-way-of-Vegas vibes at Ascend, and it’s true that the place is literally on top of a mall, 30 floors above a Capital One Cafe to be precise. But it’s worth the elevator trip for the supervillain’s-eye view of Bellevue, the lake, Seattle, and (on clear days) the mountains. The lavish food pairs perfectly with the luxurious atmosphere — think koji-smoked Wagyu beef cheeks sliders for happy hour, seared foie gras as a starter, and top-quality steaks for dinner." - Gabe Guarente, Eater Staff, Harry Cheadle
