Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Mercer Island

Fantastic food, service & music! Will be returning!!! Great date night spot.

Great experience, the staff was really accomodating and kind. I loved the service.

Right off the bat we liked the vibe of the place - upscale casual atmosphere. The food was delicious and beautifully plated, and our server was extremely knowledgeable about every item on the menu as well as absolutely delightful. Despite it being a little on the spendy side, we look forward to going back the next time we visit Seattle.

Great food and service. We ordered three of the small plates, one large, and two desserts to share among three of us. All were excellent.

Two of us had lunch at Allister. It was a very cold day and I had arrived early to find the doors locked. But ... the hostess saw me and let me in early so that I would not have to wait outside in the cold. That level of consideration was typical of the service we received throughout. We talked quite a bit after we had finiished our food and no attempt was made to rush us out. The food was good and arrived quite quickly. The only drawback to the restaurant is the noise level. Once the restaurant fillls up it can be hard to hear your table companion.
