Tablas Woodstone Taverna

Great for small plates and drinks. Had a great experience during a busy Saturday with service that prevailed. Tried the spicy shrimp, beef skewers, and crostini– all were up to par. If you order a cocktail, do yourself a favor and get a double. I tend to like mine slightly on the stronger side. Cheers!

We live very close to Millcreek town center and this is definitely our go to place. We love their lamb sliders and several other small plates they have on offer. They have decent selection of beers and a place that is well run, modern looking and all the stuff you want in a good go to place. Highly recommend!

The food and service at this place is horrible!!! I dont understand why is always full, I guess because there’s not that many options in the Suburbs but Mcdonalds would be a better option. If you come on a busy day it doesnt matter that you are dropping a lot of money on overpriced bad food the servers still rush you to leave so they can sit someone else. The food is sooooooo bad and overpriced. The servers are so busy trying to pack more people in, they take an eternity to take your order, they bring you dishes you never order and they forget to bring you the food or drinks you actually ordered, WHAT A MISTERY! The food is often overcooked, bad quality ingredients and just in general bad. Spend your money some place else.

We’ve been here many times — food is still great & Kayla and the entire staff are always fantastic!!!

Overall, I like this place. I love tapas style restaurants, and this was no exception. I came around 3pm on a weekday so it was pretty empty & service was fast. I was a little disappointed with the calamari. It was slightly soggy. I also think it’s a bit over-​priced here for tapas style dining.

Had lunch here with my sister in law on her last day visiting. She wanted tapas, I immediately thought of this place. I had only been here 1 time previously for dinner with a group. Lunch was quick and easy noon time on a Wednesday. We were on and out under an hour. Food was good, what you would expect. Service is nice, prices are fair.

This is a cute little place. My first time going here was good. I loved all the food we ordered and my drink was different but still good. I got the spicy Margarita and it was spicy! Everyone at my table tried it and didn’t like it because they said it’s like eating a jalapeño with sugar… I probably wouldn’t order it again but it was good.

Way, way too much money. Extremely small portions, just OK service at best, weak drinks, and loud, loud, loud! You cant hear the person next to you. You’ll leave hungry and broke. Now with that said, the food (all three bites of it) was really good. We spent over $ 250 for 4 people to eat, 2 well drinks, and 2 waters. We went somewhere else for dessert and to get filled up the rest of the way.

To be honest this was my first tapas experience and I wasn’t sure what to expect. We’ve tried to have dinner at Tablas before but the wait was over an hour and we don’t like to wait for food. so I suggest making reservations. Our dinner plan for Sunday night was «If Tablas has a wait we’ll go somewhere else?» Luckily Sunday night was pretty empty!
BF and I shared «Turf» for $ 44 and we enjoyed most of it. We had about 6 items to taste and were pretty full from it. I really enjoyed the lamb chops and the dressing for the house salad.
Our waitress was really attentive and friendly. She explained what we had ordered and which sauce went best with the item.
After you finish your meal they bring a DESSERT tray!!! The dessert options were quite small but adorable to look at. At $ 3 a pop we decided to skip dessert.
I don’t think my bf and I will come back to Tablas by ourselves. It’s a nice venue for date night, girl’s night out or to take the parents out for dinner but not quite our style.

OMG — love this place
I think I have been here 7 times??? The great thing is you can come here every day and not ever have the same thing twice. Some of my favorites — just to name a few:
Small Plates
–Artichoke Stuffed with Dungeness Crab — Amazing
–Bacon Wrapped Dates — Delicious with a little bit of kick (spicy)
–Rosemary Potatoes — Love the white sauce that comes with it
Tablas Platters
NOTE: Order for 2 often feeds 4 people — FYI
–Surf — YUM
–Turf — YUM
I have also tried one of their specials with Octopus — and that was so tasty
I really like the outside seating with the flame in the middle but the inside is also nice. Definitely a fan and will continue to come here often
Highly recommend!!!

Love love love the food and location!
Have had a rough go with service the past two times. Will try again.

We had a very interesting first date experience here. First we absolutely adored the décor and atmosphere. 5 stars all the way around for the high end feel. The food was slightly above average but in comparison to price I felt that it was a little bit high. It was frustrating that the atmosphere and menu felt luxurious but the food wasn’t up to the same caliber.
Maybe our waiter was just having on off day or perhaps he was a new employee, but some of the dialogue we had with him was just a little bit awkward. The table next to us ordered a same menu item that we did, but wanted theirs prepared differently. They ended up with ours, we ended up with theirs. Girlfriend didn’t care much for the two drinks she ordered. The sauce that accompanied our lamb was the best menu item that we received. Everything else was just a little bland.
We’ll definitely go back because it’s right around the corner from her place and she said she had been there numerous times before and it was much better previous times.

From the pork skewers to the roasted vegetables and flatbread along with the manchego … nearly everything we had at Tablas was very good in flavor. In fact, of about 8 dishes, only one of them left a bad taste in our mouths — the seared ahi which was spiced with paprika and sprinkled with capers.
The bar experience started off a bit rocky with a long delay, then sped up, and then went back down to delays during check-​out time. And they say… people remember the first and the last things as the most impacting; this was true.
The vibes here have a very casual-​trendy feel, and the bar is a nice spot to sit at with granite wrapping around the entire bar for plenty of seating.

Overall give it four stars because it has delicious food and great staff, however we did have a few hiccups while there. We ordered the lamb chops medium rare but received them well done. I’m typically not one to send something back but I love lamb and I really enjoy it in a certain way so since I had asked otherwise, I decided to send it back. The staff was incredibly friendly and prompt about getting me a new order and they checked back to make sure I had received it they way I wanted. And it was delicious!
The rest of the things we got, artichoke stuffed w/​dungenous crab, baked brie, manchego cheese and serrano ham were absolutely delicious with refined flavors and unique flavor combinations! The perfect kind of small plates!
Our second little hiccup came with dessert. We ordered coffee for dessert and were shocked to find out that they didn’t have an espresso machine so no Cappuccinos for us. :(Its very uncommon for high end restaurants to not have an espresso machine so we were incredibly disappointed by that. But the real disappointment was that we were served COLD drip coffee. When there was a change in employees for the shift change, someone forgot to make fresh coffee so we had the coffee that had been sitting there all day. Of course they fixed the mistake and we received it complementary.
No restaurant is perfect and mistakes happen and unfortunately we experienced them BUT the food is absolutely delicious and the staff was very friendly and upbeat so a few mistakes won’t stop us from coming back!

Yum! Solid four star food & service!
We were looking for somewhere open late and walked in around 11 to be greeted by smiling workers! I could tell they were winding down but everyone we interacted with seemed happy to see us.
So many great surprises tonight as we picked up the menu and realized it was Happy Hour! They have a great variety of small plates for very reasonable prices. The four of us went a little ham and shared calamari, crab dip, spicy garlic shrimp, salmon pâté, potatoes, bacon wrapped dates, mussels, and lamb sliders. Everything was quite good with the calamari, dates, and mussels being my favorite.
The calamari was a nice portion and were not too breaded or rubbery at all! Dates were so good and the bacon complemented them perfectly. I liked that they were on little toothpicks because eating it in one bite was definitely necessary. The mussels were also quite good, but only for sharing! I don’t think I could have eaten more than one or two since they were pretty rich.
What a pleasant experience, I can see myself coming back very soon~

I don’t usually come up to Mill Creek so I used Unilocal to find this restaurant. Yes, the food was fantastic however, service could have been better.
My friend and I ordered the 4 dips with pita. We finished the pita slices and we asked our server Becky for more since we had dip left over. Becky and the kitchen staff weren’t communicating well because she had to check back a second time to find out where the pita bread was. She came out and brought it to us. FYI: They charge $ 1 extra for a side of pita bread and they don’t indicate that on their menu nor did she tell us. We found out from the receipt. Towards the end of our meal a different staff member came to clear our table. I had asked him if I could have a box since I had some roasted vegetables left over. He took my plate and said it would be boxed up for me. I think he forgot because I saw him running around the restaurant shortly thereafter. After 5 minutes of waiting my friend and I left.

Happy hour is awesome here! The house red wine was a merlot, and it was delicious!
My friend and I both ordered the Lamb Sliders, (3 each) which was served with a thick piece of feta cheese on a toasted ciabatta bun. The lamb was perfectly moist and wonderful.
Service was amazing. Fun place!

This is one of my favorite places for happy hour. They have amazing appetizers, and I am especially fond of the ahi tuna crostinis + Caesar salad with harissa sauce. Oh, and $ 5 sangrias… you can’t beat that!
I’ve never had any problems here, except last time, I’m not sure if our waitress was new, but it took her a long time to get us our check, even after we had asked. No biggie though. I’d still come back!

When I was in Seattle, I was out visiting my aunt in Lynnwood and she brought me to this restaurant for dinner. I am a fan of tapas style, so I was excited to try some of the dishes. When we got there around 6:15, they said that most of the tables were reserved, and they we had to wait 20 minutes. That was fine with us, so we waited at the bar and got some drinks. The 3 of us crammed into a two person table and we were asked if we wanted to eat there, and we said no we wanted a table still. So 20 or so min later, the hostess came and got us and sat us next to the window.
We ordered:
— beer, margarita, and a white sangria
— baked brie w/​apple confit, hazelnut, and honey glaze $ 9
— calamari tenders $ 10
— bacon wrapped dates w/​serrano peppers $ 8
— flatbread w/​pear, arugula, and blue cheese $ 11
When they moved us from the bar to the table, I had to go and close out our bar tab… they should have offered to transfer the tab to our table. My fave was the brie!

Pretty Dang Good!
We went in during off hours (had lunch around 1:45) so it was very quiet. The atmosphere was very cool and the décor was neat.
The food options were abundant. I love tappas! I prefer them so much more than a large meal to myself. Generally my fiancé and I family style everything anyways, so this worked out well!
We got a crab dip, crab stuffed shrimp, and the fiancé ordered a flatbread (which I wasn’t terribly fond of). We needed more pita for our crab dip which they brought no problem.
Wine was good, and I liked that they offered so many by the glass.
Customer service was awesome, but we did come when there was like 1 other couple in the restaurant, so I can’t speak to when they’re slammed.
I also love the location in downtown mill creek right on the main street. It makes walking off the lunch afterward very fun.
