I live in the Golf Course and go to the Calcutta Grill alot but twice I've had very bad experiences with the food. Once a velcro clip was found in my salad and the second time, it...

Editorial review from Citysearch 7/3/2013

Second time to this 'restaurant':\r \r Food: 2 cheeseburgers (undercooked), iced tea, 2 side salads, 2 Cokes $76 BEFORE tip and a $3 split plate charge. Warm ice water, no ice, slow refills (90 deg day). They charged us PER refill on the Cokes which had a strong taste of pencil lead but it was hot and they were the only cold liquids available after our waitress abandoned us.\r \r Service: (?) 20-25 minutes for 2 undercooked cheeseburgers. 1.5 hours for a quick lunch, only because we hurried the waitress so we could leave.\r \r Atmosphere: GREAT view. more

Amazing food, beautiful scenery, top notch staff! 3/14/2010

We have been to the Calcutta Grill for brunch before, but never for dinner. It was my birthday and we wanted to go somewhere with a beautiful ambience and some scenery this time! (We have 3 kids and usually are at very loud kid-filled establishments!) We had an amazing time! Our server was top notch: polite, knowledgeable, quick... no long wait periods, etc... Even the guy serving the water and refilling was extremely polite and professional! We shared a bowl of their WONDERFUL Smoked Salmon Corn Chowder... Best soup I've had in YEARS! We both loved it! We ordered the 16oz prime rib and a Cobb Salad. Both were delicious! My husband said it was the best prime rib he's had in a long time... and that's saying a lot... as usually we frequent Jak's in Issaquah.. known for their Prime Rib! I loved the Cobb Salad! It was so much more than what was described in an older review below... It was filled with bacon, tomatoes, crumbled cheese, and more! The chicken in the salad was delicious too! IT was a huge portion and I could only finish half! (I wanted to save room for the apple cobbler!) We shared the warm carmel apple cobbler... and again.... wonderful!!! We had such a great time and felt like we were given world class service and food! We will definitely be back soon! IT's nice to find a place that has the best service and food in such a stunning location! They won't disappoint! Enjoy!! We certainly did! ;o) Thanks Calcutta Grill! Pros: Large portions, A+ service, beautiful ambience! Cons: None! more

Hyped to try this place for Real. 6/27/2009

Well, the first time I came to the Newcastle Golf Club was for my senior year prom a year ago. Everyone was dressed formal. All Gents and Ladies. I didn't exactly had what the menu had offered. It was just a buffets style dinner. Which was delicious. I am about to go there for an actual dinner. Do you know if the Calcutta Grill is on the right side or the left side when looking from the parking lot? And is the pub menu available during dinner? I'm excited to see the sunset! Are we allowed to stay out after the place closes at 10pm? Like outside on the deck looking at the night view of the cities? on a Sunday perhaps? Thanks. Pros: The View Cons: Nothin' more

Could be sooooo much better!! 6/18/2009

I live in the Golf Course and go to the Calcutta Grill alot but twice I've had very bad experiences with the food. Once a velcro clip was found in my salad and the second time, items were put in my salad which I definately cannot eat. They also forgot chicken in the Cobb salad so it was mostly just lettuce and tomatoes for $16. The manager was so apologetic and understands my concerns since I really want this restaurant to succeed since it's so close to me and it's one of the best views nearby! The menu is so limited for the clientele that wants to come there (families, friends.....not just golfers!) I hope they eventually get their act together....I'm hoping they do soon! Pros: Best View in Bellevue Cons: Limited menu more

Beautiful Ambiance, Good Food 9/15/2008

I have enjoyed many evenings at the Calcutta Grill and it is my favorite place to enjoy a bottle of wine with friends while enjoying the gorgeous surrounding view and the great touches like the bagpiper. My favorite place to sit is the south patio of the restaurant - more relaxing / comfprtable than the main patio for dining. I also LOVE the Wooly Toad. I appreciate the menu being more simple than in years past - just good food - the seasonal ravioli is always a treat and the prime rib is fabulous with the peppercorn crust and real horseradish (upon request for the latter.) Pros: Amazing View, Good (and free!) parking, Beautiful facility Cons: Slow""er"" service, though I don't mind since I like to enjoy the view and friends more

What a fall from grace! What a waste of world class scenery! 3/27/2008

What happened?! This used to be 1 of my favorite places; it is VERY heartbreaking to see how much this place has declined. The once attentive, knowledgeable staff has been replaced by warm bodies. My friends & I decided to enjoy dinner & a view at Calcutta Grill. The oblivious hostess sat our party @ a table w/a nice centerpiece of sticky mystery sauce & was trying to hand us our menus WHILE we were trying to dust off a layer of crumbs off of our seats. & what a shock! They now have a pub style menu! So now I get fish & chips w/a world class view? Where did all the romance go?! We did not see our waitress for 10-15 mins. When she finally came, we asked her about some wine & she irritatedly pointed to the most expensive wines but couldn't really give any reasons why. Maybe because she had no idea? We ordered cocktails instead, which took so long that my margarita had a layer of water on top of it; not ice. We would have asked for more lettuce to break up our good but COMPLETELY overdressed caesars, but our waitress did not even check up on us until she was dropping off our entrees. ALL 3 of our orders of scallops were overcooked to inedibility. The (med. well; not med.rare) beef tenderloin had a nice wine sauce, but the veggies tasted like they spent 1 year too long in a freezer. Again, our waitress did not come until we gave up on our meals. & the restrooms! The restrooms @ Newcastle are beautifully appointed w/marble, have completely enclosed stalls, & have all the toiletries you need. Well, this time, the garbages were overflowing onto the countertop & floor, w/TAMPON wrappers, & 2 stalls had no toilet paper. & get this! Talking on her PHONE in there the WHOLE time was the housekeeper! Where did their El Gaucho like standards go?! When we were leaving, the general manager was @ the front desk & asked us how our night went. We all looked at each other & laughed & shrugged & all he said was, ?Okay, well, have a good night!? With service like that, why come back? Pros: The view Cons: Everything else! more

Class Act 10/30/2007

The 2-Fer coupon mailed to local residents the month of October was a huge factor in our group deciding to dine there recently. While the food has never been what would be considered 5-star, it is seasonal and tasty with a nice variety of choices, especially the pastas and seafood. Happy Hour (Mon-Fri.) is a great time to relax, enjoy the fabulous view and partake in some of the many inventive cocktails (yum to the Calcutta Cosmo) or the basic beer/wine selections. An array of 1/2 price appetizers including calamari, nachos and the oh-so popular sliders is an inexpensive way to fill up fast. more

Not good this time 10/29/2007

I had dinner with my family last night, half year had past since last time. more

Great Food Genuine Service Best View 10/5/2007

We dined at The Calcutta Grill and I had one of the best fresh swordfish dishes and my date loved the prime rib. From the restaurant you can see the entire Puget Sound area including Seattle, Bellevue, Lake Washington, Puget Sound and the Olympics. They've got a guy who plays the bag pipes each night at sunset too. Service was warm and professional. We'll be back. If you like golf, they've got the best of that too. Pros: Food, Service, View more

OH MY, go for DESSERT 9/1/2006

i have eaten a few times at the Calcutta Grill. Each time i was very pleased with not only my entree, but the desserts were fabulous! i would reccommend going to their sunday brunch. The sushi display is breathtaking! Pros: ample parking, great food Cons: brunch can be spendy more

Great view! 9/19/2004

I went here with my parents who were visiting from out of town. The view was amazing - but we were seated at a table with a view of the fire alarm in an almost empty restaurant. The girl who seated seemed surprised when we asked for another table and had to ""go check"" where she could move us to. The dinner entrees - prime rib and scallops were very good. We split two desserts - the cobbler and cheesecake, and were not very impressed by either. Pros: Amazing view!, Good food Cons: , Unimpressive desserts more

Incredible Views 4/10/2003

We recently dined at the Calcutta Grill on a clear Spring evening, and marveled at the quality of food as well as the amazing sunset across the skyline. The food is almost as beautiful as the view, I recommend anyone on the Eastside check this place out for at least a drink or splurge for dinner - but don't miss the sunset. Pros: View, Food Cons: Expensive more

Worth the wait 11/19/2002

We've gone there many times, 90% of the time they've made us wait endlessly...but the food has always been excellent. more

Its not Indian food! 10/27/2002

This destination spot has run the whole gamut in the restaurant seen. Having had several Chefs since the opening of the Calcutta grill three years ago. The food is consistantly getting better. The weekly specials are the way to go. They are always seasonal, local, and decently priced. The service could be a little more attentive however. The wine list includes plenty of options for half bottles to higher end wines for special occasions. They feature lots of northwest wines as well. The ambience is a little loud, but the view on a clear evening is well worth the drive. Pros: view, good food, free parking Cons: long drive, marginal service more
