Cépaé Tasting Room 258 106th Avenue Northeast, Bellevue, WA 98004

"We came for a Valentine’s Day pre fixe meal. It was pre paid. They sat us at a high table with 8 other people on very uncomfortable chairs. It was freezing because they had the door open and refused to close it when we asked. It was clearly the servers first time working here as she kept forgetting things, knocking things over and apologizing. The food wasn’t even that good and extremely expensive. I would expect way more. As if this were not enough, I also got food poisoning. Likely from the raw quail egg. I will not be returning."

"Given the poor service, lack of attention to detail, and the disappointing customer service skills displayed during my visit, I cannot, in good conscience, recommend Cépaé to anyone seeking an enjoyable dining experience. It's a shame that a potentially great dining spot fails so miserably in the most crucial aspects of hospitality. Save your time and money by exploring other options in the area where you'll receive the service and attention you deserve. Additionally, these desserts should be incredible considering the hefty $15 and $16 price tag. But both were mediocre and poorly flavored facades attempting to masquerade as fine French desserts."

"It was definitely an experience. Two gals in our group were given the wrong sized wines. Another gent's dish was "stopped being made halfway through" for "some reason." They did give it for free, though, but he still got his new dish at the very end after most of our table finished. The owner came and did a "drive-by hello" but we only figured out she was the owner or manager by how we overheard her talking to the staff. The spaghetti dish was salty. $22. Absurd. The Le Tartare? $28. Soggy fries. Honestly, I've had better fries at the fast food chains. The salmon? Subpar. The kicker at the end only because there were 8 at our table, they added 10% charge to the bill. What part of the "experience" earned you an additional charge to our bill? Ridiculous."

"I was introduced to Cépaé by my friends today. The pastries and tea are simply amazing, but I am more obsessed with the bears in this place. I know they're just stuffed animals, but who can't resist sitting next to a stuffed bear in this cute place? The service is great, staff is very friendly and super patient. I ordered the blueberry pastry and it was delicious. There wasn't a lot left considering it was an hour before closing so I may stop by again in the future."
