Central Bar + Restaurant

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great spot in downtown Bellevue with a lively vibe and solid food options. The menu has a good variety — burgers, salads, and drinks are all on point. 💰 Price: A little on the higher side, but typical for Bellevue. 👥 Crowd: Busy during happy hour and weekends, but that’s part of the fun atmosphere. 🌳 Atmosphere: Trendy, modern, and upbeat — perfect for groups or after-work drinks. 🚗 Transportation: Parking can be tricky; garages nearby are the best bet. 🤝 Service: Friendly and attentive. Overall: Food and service are great, but I do wish the fries were a bit crunchier. Still, Central is a reliable go-to in Bellevue for good eats and a fun night out.

The service, the quality and flavor of the food, the vast selection of drinks and stunningly beautiful decor are just a few of the many reasons to come here. It's truly a treat for all your senses

We had the BEST time at Central! New to the area, we went on reviews and gave this restaurant a try. We could not have been more pleased with our food, service and the atmosphere on a Friday evening at high-tide after-work dinner hour (October 24, 2025). Nicole, our server, was FANTASTIC -- attentive and personal, as we were there for an anniversary celebration. The hostess (didn't catch her name) was also so friendly and helpful. The food was exceptional! Our group of four had salmon, halibut, whitefish and steak -- and each entree received rave reviews as some of the best in each category that we've ever had. We enjoyed the potstickers and fries for appetizers along with wine -- all superb -- and the beignets for dessert -- highly recommended as an after dinner treat so you can linger a bit. This was definitely a 5/5 experience for our entire group!

This has quickly become our favorite go to restaurant in Bellevue. They have a great champagne by the glass, the food is always amazing and the service is top notch! Don’t miss out on this cute hidden gem! Plus it’s family friendly

Nice cosy restaurant. Food quality is very good and the service is kind and fast. The prices are reasonable compared to other restaurants. Personally I find it a little to dark: the combination of less outside light with the dark brown furniture causes some trouble seeing sharp for myself. The rest of the group did not complain about it. Dishes are served in a nice way.

Everything was wonderful! We got the fish and chips and shared the mushroom fries and everything was amazing! Can’t wait to go again- nice drink selection, nice atmosphere.

This place was awesome. Drink selection was amazing. Food was great staff was very attentive. Would definitely come back again.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Central Bar in Bellevue, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for both casual meals and special occasions. **Grilled Pork Chops:** The grilled pork chops were cooked to perfection. Juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor, they were paired with a delectable mushroom sauce that complemented the meat beautifully. The presentation was top-notch, with a side of perfectly roasted potatoes and a fresh garnish that added a nice touch of color and texture. **Grilled Salmon:** The grilled salmon was another standout dish. Expertly seasoned and grilled, the salmon was tender and flaky, served atop a bed of green beans and rice. The tropical salsa on top added a refreshing burst of flavor, balancing the richness of the salmon perfectly. This dish was as visually appealing as it was delicious. **Service and Atmosphere:** The service at Central Bar is outstanding. The staff are attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. The atmosphere is cozy yet vibrant, with a great selection of drinks to complement the food. Whether you're here for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, you’ll feel right at home. **Overall Experience:** Central Bar is a must-visit for anyone in the Bellevue area. The quality of the food, the excellent service, and the inviting atmosphere make it a perfect spot for any occasion. Highly recommended!
