[The food]… is good, solid and flavorful.  Portions are generous.  And they have one of those menus that has something for everyone from salads to burgers to full entrées; seafood to chicken to beef and even a few vegetarian options.  They have a great patio to one side of the building and a few additional tables along the front sidewalk.  We chose a sidewalk table so we wouldn’t miss a minute of sunshine.

We shared a BBQ Chicken Salad and the Steak Gorgonzola Pizza.  And had a couple of beers – a nice way to spend a springtime afternoon.

Everyone had a great time — it was a great surprise for my girlfriend.  She suffered a family loss a couple of years ago, is a single parent with two small children, and handles her responsibilities and life with such grace.  It was really nice to see her relaxed and “let go” for the evening.  520 is a favorite spot of my husbands and I (we celebrated his 40th there) and I often go with my girlfriend for our casual girl’s night out.

Thank you, Thank you, and Thank you for having such wonderful place for us to go and “hang out” with our friends and family.

I sincerely want to thank you and your staff for a wonderful experience. I was told that your venue is very, very nice and the service received was the best. Our Dean, whose research specialty is consumer satisfaction, was very impressed as well. High marks all around!

I am so happy that everyone enjoyed themselves and I hope that we can work together again as I plan other events for our alumni in the Seattle metro area.

Thank you, again, very much!

I love just about everything on the menu there, and I have to say that their 520 Burger is now my fave. Sorry Keg! Even what could be considered “bar food” has a gourmet touch and is presented on oversized white dishes.

I’m telling all my downtown Bellevue (& Beyond!) friends about the great ‘520′…which can only be enhanced by maybe adding some acoustic tiles on the ceiling (really!..it does get kinda noisy in ur small but oh-so-cozy place). The outdoor patio in nice weather really reminds me of the great sunshiny brunch and bistro places when I lived down in the Santa Monica/Playa del Rey area of L.A. – you know: back in the 80s when Randi was down there doing great thingz in the entertainment biz! All the best! Please keep up the good vibes in ur wonderful meet ‘n greet establishment!

We had a great time! Do you do music and dancing at any other time?

Thank-you,

Between the successful Bellevue real estate business they have owned for nearly 30 years and the opening of 520 Bar and Grill in 2006, there is no doubt that Joseph and Randi Brazen have been busy…

…in May of 2006 the Brazen’s moved their real estate office upstairs and opened 520 Bar and Grill on the main level of their building. The restaurant, voted “Best Casual Business Meeting Spot” by 2008 Haute Picks, celebrated its two-year anniversary not long ago. The popular restaurant is a frequent stop for many Bellevue locals. Great drinks, delicious food, and fun people help create an atmosphere where you are guaranteed a good time… click here to read full story in the Eastside Business Journal.
