Wayne's Clubhouse Grill - Bothell

Went on opening night and it was awesome. Surpassed expectations by far. We had large plates, the meatballs and short rib, and a vegetable, the blistered carrots. The short rib was the standout. Don't skip dessert either, the ice cream is excellent.

This place has hands-down awesome food. Kenmore is absolutely an up-and-coming area, and Seaplane is helping make that happen! My only complaint is the small window for operating hours; we arrived at 3:15pm and were told the kitchen didn't open for full dinner until 4pm, which was annoying, but not a deal breaker. It wouldn't have bothered me as much if we hadn't also wanted to eat here on a walk 3 other times and found it closed; wrong day, hours not open yet, or some other issue. To me, it feels like a place that is so walking accessible among other shops and a community center should probably try to be open more than not, but then I just eat at restaurants, I don't own one.

Delicious food and drink. Great ambiance. Recommended by a friend who frequents with her husband. Starter veggies are fantastic! I had the King Salmon for my entree and it melted in my mouth. Make sure to svae room for dessert though and get the brownie sundae!!! You will be glad you did!

3 27 update: now that the initial love fest has worn off you know, that 'dating ' period when a restaurant first opens and knocks your socks off , some more perspective... I 've got to knock this place down from 5 stars to 4. The pizza crust is weird. Super thin and MUSHY not crispy like most 'thin crust ' pizzas . Guys, it 's weird. As pizzas make up 1 2 of their lunch dinner menu selection, this is a problem. I 'm not saying don 't try a pizza, but I 'm warning you: be prepared to be disappointed. We 've had tried three pizzas. Enough to rule out a 'bad pizza anomaly '. The TOPPINGS are creative and delicious, but the crust is, well, important. Hopefully they figure this out, because I 've had both better CAMP pizza and better frozen pizza from Target. 'THE burger ' Seaplane Burger was also disappointing. It gives me absolutely no pleasure to report this. Seaplane seems to have fallen into the same old tired trap as some other restaurants: making burgers 'Instagramable ', instead of delicious and actually edible. It 's SO FREAKING BIG, you need to CRUSH the two patty behemoth remember, this is the only burger they offer it 's not like I CHOSE a two patty burger over a smaller option with your hands, just to fit a corner of it into your mouth. It 's a mess. They boast of how awesome the aged beef '24 day dry aged beef ' is...Meh. Pick Quick, Five Guys, CaliBurger, Great State Burger, and Lunchbox Laboratory all easily beat the Seaplane Burger on taste, no question and all for less money . And if you ASK for bacon they don 't OFFER bacon as an add

The Compass North pizza was good but pretty rich with the mushrooms, sauce and garlic. Actually liked the Commuter pizza the best. Lively restaurant. Friendly staff.
