The Shops At The Bravern — Local services in Bellevue

The Bravern (shops-wise) is usually pretty empty but the parking can still be a little hard to find -- and I only come here during work hours on weekdays...

It has a handful of nicer shops, which is nice since designer shopping can be hard to find in Seattle. The Neiman Marcus is honestly way too small, though, and the customer service is so mediocre (will save further detail on that for the Neiman Marcus review).

Call the assistance using the button. The guy is rude. Speaks poor English. Says the $4 is correct but I have the ticket in my hand I was there well under 30 minutes. Guy now won’t answer when I push button. Meanwhile cars are piling up behind me. How embarrassing. I paid the fee and will dispute it with Amex. Total waste of time and goodwill. I was shopping at Gucci which is very expensive. I’m going to pass along this rotten...
