The Tea and food were wonderful, with a beautiful table and setting. The service was very friendly and efficient without being overly attentive. Would definitely have afternoon tea there again for a special occasion.

About the restaurant

Seattle native restaurateurs Chris Matthew Hill and Matt Fleck are capitalizing on their hard-working, infectiously fun personalities, channeling their veteran restaurant skills into what was a sorely missing dining option on the Eastside, an upscale, yet casual restaurant.

Stylish and inviting, Matts' design offers a rich blend of cutting edge and glowing décor accents that convey a sense of casualness, comfort and warmth. Choose from a versatile combination of accommodating booths, large round tables, relaxing bar seating, private dining space and a seasonal outdoor patio.

The food and service was amazing! This was our first time there, but we will definitely be back. It was a little loud as it was a sunny Saturday afternoon, so it was a little hard to hear everyone in our party from time to time, but other than that it was really great!

Woodinville

About the restaurant

In the heart of Woodinville Wine Country, Heritage Restaurant|Bar is a locally owned, full-service establishment. Woodinville resident chef/owner Breanna Beike fashioned Heritage as a community hub and casual meeting place where residents gather often, tourists don’t feel like tourists, and the food and drinks are approachable and moderately priced.

Heritage Restaurant|Bar is family friendly, great for date night, and a wine-tourist “not to be missed” location. We are the easy, fun, down-to-earth center of the Hollywood Hill roundabout and a destination in vibrant Woodinville. Heritage is a come-as-you-are kind of place that you’ll love.

About the restaurant

Jack Timmons grew up in Texas and has lived in Seattle for over three decades. In 2012, he attended BBQ Summer Camp at the Meat Sciences department of Texas A&M, then toured many historic barbecue temples of Central Texas. Returning to Seattle, he bought an offset smoker, imported some post oak, mesquite and hickory, and started the Seattle Brisket Experience.

After more than a year of practicing the art of barbecue, and serving old-school, succulent smoked meats to thousands of Northwest BBQ fans at ‘BBQ Raves’, Jack opened his first restaurant in the South of Downtown (SoDo) area of Seattle – Jack’s BBQ in 2014.

At our newest location on the border of Bellevue and Redmond, we serve authentic Central Texas Barbecue with Brisket, Ribs, Sausage and Chicken. Great craft cocktails including our famous Smoked Orange Old Fashioned. Incredibly good desserts like Peach Cobbler and Pecan Pie. Super delicious Breakfast Tacos. And as always, good times!

Visited Jack's BBQ Redmond/Bellevue twice last week! Family of four ordered smoked ribeye steaks, fried chicken, roasted half chicken, brisket, black and blue burger, and pork ribs. Everything was awesome! For sides try cowboy beans, potato salad, chili, and cornbread. Absolutely try the Fried Pickle Jar to start and finish up with pecan pie. Servers were both excellent and manager Michelle is a treasure! Warm and welcoming hospitality and the best BBQ in the Puget Sound region. You gotta go!
