Jocovine Bistro

While Bellevue has many eating establishments to choose from, it's really of a question of whether its a place you'd elect to visit again after having given it a try. Jocuvine has been open for a few months now, and we decided to give ot a try. Decor is modern, and while initially you think it's a tight, cozy space, you realize that there is a whole back room that looks like it can acomodate a large party of a dozen or more. For the menu it looks like its adapted from Italia with the pasta but there's also ratatouille and pan roasted chicken and ceviche and dungeness crab cakes, so I guess there's local favorites on the menu too. The cioppino was ok. The fish was perfectly poached and the clams & prawns were tender not rubbery. The broth was a relatively simple tomato soup that may have been made more interesting were herb or aromatic flavors added. The Negroni was well mixed if not a touch too sweet. At least it was strong. Would I repeat? Well, if it were the selected destination of a group outing I would not protest.

I have been a regular here for the past few months, and this place has truly become an amazing spot to hang out! The ambiance is beautiful, and everyone here is incredibly nice. The music is fantastic, and the food is delicious. The last time I came in for dinner with my girlfriend there was a completely new menu so I wanted to update my review from our dinner last night! We ordered the tagliatelle bolognese, acqua pazza, and spaghetti de mare. I was thoroughly impressed. My two favorites were the tagliatelle bolognese and acqua pazza. The bolognese is incredibly flavorful, packed with beef and pork. The acqua pazza is a large filet of halibut in one of the best sauces I’ve ever tasted. It was served on a bed of rice that soaked up the sauce, and I savored every grain! The spaghetti de mare was also delicious, with calamari, prawns, and clams on in one dish! I have a new favorite cocktail as well: Andrea’s Tequila Sour. It’s a delightful mix of blackberry, guava, and tequila, and it was incredible. I’ve only visited on weekdays so far, but I just learned they have live music on the weekends! My girlfriend and I will definitely be back for the live music and tequila sours!

I highly recommend trying the soup of the day — it’s absolutely delightful! The flavors are perfectly balanced, especially when paired with pasta and seafood. The salad was also fantastic, fresh, and a great complement to the meal. Everything was incredibly delicious, and I’ll definitely be coming back

Mouth watering food, amazing interior and atmosphere. Went for dinner at soft opening and everything was well organized and delicious. Can’t wait to try their brunch menu soon. Steelhead and steak palates were delicious and prepared as requested.

Love the food options , drinks and ambience everything here is so stylish yet cozy.

Our party arrived a little after five and were warmly greeted and promptly seated. From that moment on, the service quickly deteriorated. After 15 minutes of waiting at our table (with only one other group seated in the restaurant) our drink order was taken. Ten minutes later, the waitress retuned to our table, this time with a pad and paper, and said she had forgotten our drink orders and asked us for them again. When the drinks arrived almost 15 minutes after that, one of the drink orders was wrong, and one was completely forgotten, and they were all delivered to the wrong people at the table. The dinner service was much the same; lots of time spent waiting, lots of incorrect orders having to be sent back, bills sent to the wrong people etc. The only reason for the two star rating instead of one is because the food was good (I ordered the beat salad and really enjoyed it). The good food however, definitely did not make up for the extremely poor service.
