J and L BBQ Everett - (Near Everett, WA)

eden We went here on New Years Eve because it was one of the few places we could still get a reservation in Bellevue the day before. It was a bit confusing to find the restaurant from the parking garage, but we managed. The cocktails were delicious! The flatbread was just ok. The real winners were the meat dishes. I liked everything except the duck, which was super salty. Id definitely come back! The restaurant was very cozy. Kind of an industrial building, but with dim lighting and cute little lamps and candles at each table. A bit expensive, but good for a special occasion.

Nadia S Tried Clove Indian Cuisine and honestly had a great experience. It’s a modern Indian restaurant with a nice vibe and plenty of seating, so it didn’t feel cramped even though it was pretty busy. We started with drinks and ordered the Cardamom Rose Martini and the Blood & Blanco. Both the cocktails were really unique. The cardamom one especially had this really nice balance of floral + spice. For appetizers, we got the Tandoori - Ajwaini Shrimp, and Chicken Malai Tikka. Everything came out hot and flavorful, but the standout for me was definitely the Ajwaini Shrimp - super unique flavor and something I’d absolutely recommend trying. Our server, Teja, suggested most of these dishes and he was genuinely friendly and really knowledgeable about the menu, which helped a lot. For mains, we shared the Zaika Shahi Paneer and the Latpata Chicken. Both leaned more toward a North Indian flavor profile, rich, creamy gravies with lots of depth. I didn’t get to try any dessert this time. If you’re in the area and want good Indian food that stays true to classic flavors but also has a modern twist in some dishes, this place is definitely worth checking out.

RACHANA MAHARJAN The food was delicious and service was great too. We loved everything we ordered. Good portions and meat was cooked in perfection. The eggplant dish was tasty too. Will be back.

Gabriel 5/5 This restaurant ticked all of the boxes. My fiance made reservations for a date night, and it was incredible. We ordered the crab bisque and we were blown away. It was complex and hardy, utterly delicious. I ordered the lasagna which was amazing but she ordered the ragu, and I wish I had ordered the same. Incredible. Service was fantastic; attentive and pleasant. I absolutely recommend this place if you are looking for a romantic and intimate dinner with someone special.

Long Nguyen Really generous portion and beautifully cooked dishes. I enjoyed my lamb dish and the "los tres amigos" a lot. Beware, los tres amigos looked like it feeds two people. The place is also packed with helpful staff.

Jolea Schwindt Long story short, my mom and I are on a road trip and met Raymond in Tillamook who said we should go to his restaurant and gave us a gift card. A couple weeks later, we made it to the Tri-Cities and swung by his restaurant and WOW did it feel so welcoming and like home. The service is amazing, Emily is the absolute best and has the best taste preferences! Shes a gem. Raymond himself is the nicest person you could ever run into and you will not be disappointed stopping by his restaurant for a classic Italian night. Great place, but even better people running it--what more can you ask for
