For me, this is a great place to visit on a Saturday morning (to work on my pool-shooting skills) as it's peaceful & quiet at that time, uncrowded, has good 9' tables, great background music, great food, and courteous servers & staff. The 9' tables are the most "realistic" for me (yes, I've also visited Dave's place in Kenmore on several occasions), and the atmosphere is such that four or five hours can easily go by before I realize that it's now late afternoon.
I've visited this establishment on several occasions, both day and night, and never had a bad experience. I don't wear caps or torn jeans, so for me at least, the Dress Code hasn't been a problem.
Their location is perfect for me as I live nearby, parking is free (remember... we're talking about downtown Bellevue), and their menu satisfies all my cravings. Although a few reviewers may comment on their prices, the fact is, if you want dive-bar prices, then go to a dive-bar. The quality & atmosphere of this place is what it's all about for me.
What more can I say? You've just gotta check this place out!
