Father Mulligan’s Heritage Bar — Restaurant in Kenmore

Elegant… but expect pretentious servers. The kind of aloof bar tenders that seem to think unreceptive and cold service is a display of status or some such nonsense. Just as any of the other five star hotels I have stayed in, I walked up to the bar while waiting for our table in the restaurant, the bartender asked me if we were sitting, I declined and said we would like to browse the art instead, she instructed me to “move” to the waiters’ window…. I felt that odd as we were reached around and in the way, while the area we had been originally standing at the up against the bar counter remained vacant. We awkwardly waited for many minutes while she avoided serving us and nonchalantly served others, then the same girl, comes over and asks us, like she didn’t just ignore us, “have you been helped” uh… no… no we had not and WOW… I guess we didn’t zig with her zag right… Food was good.

The food is outstanding! The bartenders are awesome! They always have a smile and happy to recommend a drink or a dish.

Even more important, the service is awesome. Lynsey, what can I say…she’s kind and always willing to take care of her customers, even highly demand customers like me! She just smiles and ensures every customer leaves with a great experience! Thank you, Lynsey!!!

After a nice dinner and drinks, the art hanging throughout is a must see. After that a nice stroll down to Lake Washington is a nice night cap!

I am a little perplexed as to why the new executive chef would take the amazing mac & cheese off the menu??????

If you’re lucky enough to have Lynsey as your bartender/ server, tell...
