Ascend Prime Steak & Sushi Bellevue Reviews
Went here for a friend's birthday and it's exactly what you
Went here for a friend's birthday and it's exactly what you think it is - you pay for the view. It's a good view though while it faces the sunset and can see mount rainier. Their rolls, and sushi tacos aren't my favorites. Their Mac and cheeses were good, same with their steak. Service is mixed. Really good while we sat at a table but I also went another time and sat at the bar and the bartenders were not the best to communicate with. They even told us happy hour ended even though I heard them talk to someone else about their happy hour menu
Probably one the worst steaks I have ever eaten.
I ordered the NY Strip, dry aged, and it was very chewy and inedible. I ate about half of it and had to give up. I go to alot of steak places, and for almost $100, i expected better. I literally had to spit an unchewable piece in a napkin. The girl asked me how everything was and I told her the steak wasn't great. I didn't want, or expect any refund but she never sent a manager over but did ask me if I wanted to send it back, which I declined. Also, it's not very comfortable. Either the seats are high and the table is low, or vice versa. It was very hard to eat. The truffle mac n cheese was good though. Very disappointing and I probably won't be back.
BORING Let me know if you really want me to get into it.
Aside from an entire unused patio space with the better view. But what do I know.
Great drinks, vibe and amazing food.
Has become our new favorite spot when we're in town.
Matt was absolutely AMAZING!!! He made our daughter's 18th
Matt was absolutely AMAZING!!! He made our daughter's 18th birthday the best experience ever!!! We had 3 reservations but they were not set for us all to sit at the same table. He told us he just wanted us to be able to all celebrate together and he made it happen. He gave us to the Virgo private room (with no room rental fee) which was the sweetest. He truly made our experience the best we ever had at any restaurant. We are hoping he gets promoted because he deserves it. He saw a wish and acted upon it without us asking for a private room. All we wanted was to sit together and he gave us way more than that. We had a memorable night and experience that we will never forget. My daughter and her friends had the time of their live! To top it all off the food was absolutely incredible!!Thank you for making her 18th birthday the best day and experience that she will remember for a lifetime!!! We appreciate you!
This was the worst steak I have ever eaten.
I got food poisoning from it, resulting in severe vomiting and diarrhea. I will never come here again and suggest you do the same.
Ascend Prime Steak and Sushi had the first Patio Party of
Ascend Prime Steak and Sushi had the first Patio Party of the season, and knock it out of the park. The Lavender spritzers, featuring St. Germain liquor, was a perfect compliment for the amazing appetizers. Music by "Caety" performed wonderfully. I can't wait for the next Party. I only wish I could upload the pictures for you to see.
My original review was deleted :( Located on the 31st
My original review was deleted :( Located on the 31st floor, my birthday dinner was beyond my expectations. I wanted to be wowed, live in the moment of the ambiance, and leave satisfied. We automatically connected with our server, Fae. She was entertaining and made all the perfect recommendations. For drinks, we both had their non-alcohol cocktail called Adore (mixed with hibiscus, lemon, ginger beer, ramune soda). The 2nd drink, I asked Fae to surprise me. She came back with a cocktail topped with a smoke bubble (I don't remember the name but it was pretty and good). For starters, we had the Jackfruit "Krab" cakes and Kurobuta Pork Belly. Both were delicious. For the mains, we shared a dry aged prime tomahawk chop paired with bone marrow and potato puree + butter. Thank goodness we shared bc I was already in a food coma at this point. Ha! For dessert, the "Chill" sorbet trio and the "Magic Mushroom" were truly magical. Our dining experience was definitely a foodie's dream
Views are great.
Service is attractive. Ambiance spectacular!! Drinks are fabulous. Food in my opinion can be better. Didn't enjoy steak but to each their own. Had a wonderful time for our 32 anniversary.
This place is worth trying but not memorable enough to pay
This place is worth trying but not memorable enough to pay these prices to be repeat diners. We had a couple of drinks- the pear pressure and a grapefruit shandy that were both very good. For food we had king salmon nigiri, the vinegar dusted fries with truffle aioli (the cheapest and possibly best item we had lol), Dungeness crab Mac and cheese, the ribeye cap crossbreed wagyu steak, the potato puree and butter, and the magic mushroom and sky fall desserts. All of the food was good to very good but nothing was excellent and memorable enough to bring us back at these prices. The desserts weren't as good as I would have thought they would be. Service was good. The server and server assistants were very good, informative, and attentive. The lounge actually looks nicer than the dining room area we were sat in with better views of the water, the sushi line, and bar, but it was much quieter in the space we dined in which was appreciated.
Beautiful views!!
I only went to the bar for drinks, but wow what a view!!! Drinking delicious cocktails looking out of the panoramic view windows at Mount Rainier on a sunny day was breathtakingly beautiful!!! I really enjoyed the atmosphere as much as the drinks and great service. It is quite pricey though.
Single handedly the best tasting food and best dining
Single handedly the best tasting food and best dining experience I've ever had. The food, service, and ambience are all 10/10. No notes, for us it was perfection. We didn't just pay for our food, we felt like we paid for an entire experience.
It's definitely one of my favorite places to grab a meal.
What's not to like? The views are amazing for a sunset. The steaks, sushi, and drinks keep me coming back.
What a meal!! My fiancé and I went here to celebrate our
What a meal!! My fiancé and I went here to celebrate our recent engagement and our dining experience couldn't have been more impressive from start to finish. Starting off with the service-shoutout to Charles who elevated our entire evening. He wasn't our main waiter (didn't catch his name, but he was also fabulous), but Charles was so passionate and knowledgeable about the plates, ingredients and quality of the food brought out. He made wonderful suggestions and told us all about the meticulous process of plating foods and how dishes are created at Ascend by their head chef. Each course was brought out promptly, our glasses were always kept full and we enjoyed talking to all the staff. Now onto the food. This was the best meal we have had in a really long time in the greater Seattle area (and we have been to a lot of restaurants). The quality of everything served was top notch and each plate was gorgeous. The caviar was a great way to start our meal (loved the twist of it coming out with crispy rice). Both of our steaks were cooked perfectly. For sides we got the mashed potatoes and truffle Mac and cheese. Both were incredible and decadent. For dessert we ordered the small magic mushroom, halo, and the staff brought us a complimentary skyfall, which is what had the smoke effect. All of the desserts were incredible and had such a unique flavor and presentation. We will definitely be coming back to Ascend for all of our special occasions!
The woman with the pony tail and the man with the bald head
The woman with the pony tail and the man with the bald head that you sent to Taste of Washington today were very rude to myself, my partner and another patron who asked a question about your food.
Best steakhouse in Seattle.
Japanese flair. Massive bar & lounge like none other panoramic views overlooking the Seattle skyline & lake views with comfy private seating.
My family enjoyed a great celebration dinner there.
The food was very creative and yummy, e.g the mushroom dessert and the lab style appetizer. The service was also great, they did pay attention to details and had been very attentive all the time. In the end, they even sent us a celebration dessert as a congrats from the team, this was unexpected and super nice!
One of my favs! Highly recommend, for girls night or

Celebrated our twin daughters' birthday, and Ascend was wonderful: excellent food, cocktails, wine, atmosphere, and service. Fabulous appetizers that we tried were the jackfruit "Krab" cakes, foie gras, tuna tartar. The five of us each loved our scrumptious entrees dishes: especially the king salmon, sea scallops, black cod, & short ribs. The sides were amazing: grilled vegetables, mushroom foraged tempura, and Dungeness crab Mac & cheese. Desserts were incredible. As stated before, the service was excellent: thank you, Kirsten! Parking is easy at the Lincoln Square South lot.

As always, dinner at Ascend was incredible.
Food was top notch, service impeccable, and the cocktails and dessert might be the best in Washington.

My fiancée surprised me to a weekend brunch for my birthday. We really enjoyed the chicharron chicken & waffle and the robatta skewer + congee (kushiyaki beef) the most. Views are amazing on the 31st floor. Service is fantastic- very professional staff.
Happy hour with drinks and birthday desserts.
We can for Happy hour, a couple of drinks and birthday drinks. Our experience was spectacular. Everything was amazing and my friend was wowed. She’s from Atlanta and it was an unforgettable experience for her.
Great view, service was lacking
View was phenomenal!! Service at the bar was great but at the table was limited at best. The servers were kind, just not available. The sides were very small portions. Steak was undercooked & servers didn’t check back until it was too late in the meal to correct.
Celebrating two BIRTHDAYS1!
I went to this Restaurant to celebrated my friends birthdays! We all had an awesome time thank you to our server Minh and his assistant Charles. They both made our night an wonderful memories. They knowledge about the menu was great. The food was awesome, we order stake and everything was very good. The restaurant itself is wonderful and the view just wow! Thank you Minh and Charles for an such wonderful time.
Service was the best
We come here a lot for date nights. Last night was one of the best. Sunset views are incredible. Food is over the top tasty especially when paired with a killer wine. But what made the night even more special was the care and service from the team led by Shelby in the bar/lounge side. They rock and understand what quality service is all about. Thank you Shelby and congrats with your promotion! You deserve it
Great experience
Went for cocktails and appetizers. Great views of the city, bartenders were very knowledgeable and appetizers they suggested were great.
Worst Service ever
The location is excellent with great views of area. Food is average. The service is the worst. This is the second time in 3 years that i have had bad experience. And probably the last time. I will not ever go back.
Excellent from start to finish
Five star for setting, service, and food. Not stuffy, just a great dining experience. Every bite consistently good. We will be back.
The very definition of "not worth it" - super overpriced
The very definition of "not worth it" - super overpriced for below par food, service, and ambiance!Dinner for 3 - 2 apps, 3 mains, 4 drinks. $500 including tip. Steak was decent but no better than any random steakhouse. Burger was 100% disgusting - dry, flavourless, with a tiny serving of undercooked fries. Crab leg was decent if plain, and 30% more expensive than any fancy seafood house. Cocktails were great - and they'd better be for $21+ each - but good luck getting anyone's attention to order another.And to top it all off, when they boxed our leftovers, they left out the steak!Great view - but nothing else. Money better spent literally anywhere.

I love the view from the top.
It is a very classy place but pricey.Service was top notch. Foods were pretty good. I tried their steaks, sushi cones, and burgers. Everything was yummy.
We went here with another couple for a celebratory occasion.
We ordered an assortment of drinks and dishes and the service was fine, the view was nice while the light was still out, but what was strange is the fact that while the two of us went to the bathroom in the middle of the meal, the server asked my husband if he was done eating (not the table, just if he was done) and then they cleared our entire table and threw everything away. We had ordered the $120 ribeye and had 1/3 of it still left on top to the assortment of appetizers we ordered as well (tempura mushrooms, grilled vegetables, foie gras, etc.) I came back and was shocked that they just cleared everything and didn't even bother to ask if the other people (not at the table) were done or if we wanted to pack anything to go. This experience left a really bad taste in my mouth. There are many nice dining options in Seattle/Bellevue and just throwing away all the pricey food without even asking if we were all done is just not what you expect at a place like this
To add on a previous review of mine with my apologies, how
To add on a previous review of mine with my apologies, how could I have forgotten to mention the magic mushroom. Must try, not only looks awesome taste to match.
Upscale restaurant with great view, great drinks and great
Upscale restaurant with great view, great drinks and great deserts. Love visiting Ascend. Would love to see more chicken and vegetarian options for a person who doesn't eat steak.
We last visited on 7/21/22.
The service was HORRIBLE. In a positive note, I enjoyed the caviar dish quite a bit. It was delicious and beautifully presented. We ordered the crab, the sushi, the steaks, etc. I've had friends suggest we eat here since this visit and I can't shake the bad memory of paying so much for dinner and getting worse service than... I can't even insert a joke about somewhere with bad service, bc this was the worst. When we got there it was crowded so I would give grace over that matter, but the crowd was spotty when we left and I literally had to walk over and get the attention of our waitress twice. I want to try their brunch but I have a bad taste in my mouth about this place that hasn't faded enough yet.
Service was great.
Super friendly and informative. They moved us to a seat with a view without even having to ask! Steak was the best we've ever had. Drinks were unique and fun. Views were amazing at night so I imagine they're beautiful during the day too. Glad we found a new spot
This is the perfect place for a celebration - and it was
This is the perfect place for a celebration - and it was clear that a lot of people in the restaurant were celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, etc. This place's food is not just amazing, but it also has stellar views of Seattle and incredible service. The place just makes you feel like you're in for a different and top tier experience. The king salmon ceviche roll was one of my favorite plates. The way they're able to actually make it taste like you're having ceviche with every single piece of this roll lets you know they know what they're doing. Pricey, but definitely worth it for any celebration!
I finally paid this place a visit despite living in
I finally paid this place a visit despite living in Redmond/Bellevue my whole life. I love the scenery, ambiance and service is top notch. The servers Matt and Naomi were fantastic. We had wagyu steak (delicious although it was about two bites haha) but was so delicious. The beef tartare- good but lacks flavor in my opinion, I've had better. The sushi tacos with tuna were tasty! I was expecting to pay a lot but $26 for a basic California roll, was a bit stretched even for a high end place. We also had the spicy tuna with prosciutto roll- good but I wouldn't get it again. The oysters were good but selection was average. The drinks are where they are winning. I loved the espresso martini, on cloud 9 (a little too sweet but I still liked it) my husband especially liked the smoked bourbon drink- it's literally smoked! The desert was interesting. Not wow, but pretty! We got the chocolate cake. Drinks, view and servers are what will be bringing us back.
Amazing inspired brunch!
Can't miss on this inspired brunch experience. Nothing in the PNW can compare. The Steak & Eggs was my favorite, a playful take on Steak & Eggs meets fried rice with a rich flavorful Wagyu Steak. Not photographed is the Chicharrón Chicken & Waffles.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Ascend Prime Steak & Sushi Bellevue at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Ascend Prime Steak & Sushi Bellevue page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.

Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
