From casual quick bites to formal feasts and happy hour hot spots, there truly is something for everyone, making questions like, “Where should we go for lunch?” more complicated than you might think. Enter: The “Collection Eats” app, minimizing dining decisions one download at a time.

The new app allows users to filter more than 50 restaurants and 30 cafes by type of meal, cuisine and price. Find a favorite happy hour, make reservations, order delivery and get directions all within a single platform.

The app is free to download. Go to bellevuecollection.com/eats for more information.
