50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Ballard

“I always enjoy going to the one on Ballard and los alamos Bob ,Caesar ,Maria ,Josiline and Rachel are always so awesome.“

“Absolutely wonderful! A must visit if you are in the area !“

“Just ordered 2 hot mocha coffees. Didn't expect much...wow! Truly delicious! Usually, these coffee shops have bitter coffee. Not this one. Highly recommend.“

“Pleasant local place to stop for Mediterranean fare. I had a Lamb Shawarma wrap that was great. Outdoor/indoor.“

“Hi I came in a a week or two ago and finally getting around to doing a review . I had the best time and Danielle was the best host, so glad we stopped in and got some red wine . I came in with a few others on the way to a comedy show ...I was performing in. I enjoyed the red wine and am thinking of getting a membership there. I'll be back when I'm in the area, which is regularly.!One of the better places I've been !“

“The venue itself is pretty nice. However. When there's special events, I think there should be more than one person serving. It took awhile for us to order or get our refills. I'm sure it's a much better service when it's not a special occasion. But, their biggest event is the Christmas parade time. They should have still been prepared. Their little patio area is very nice.“

“Indoor and outdoor dining. The food and the service are wonderful! Top notch local ingredients. Way to go Feast!“

“Beautiful restaurant! Great ambiance. Awesome customer service. Good selections. Food was flavorful and creative! Prices are reasonable. We will definitely return.“

“good service the cheese and flight worked out“

“Had an absolutely amazing time at Brick Barn. I have know been there twice. Each time we were served by Vanessa. I’ve been wine tasting a TON of times and Vanessa is one of the best servers we have ever had. Not only does she care about us, keep checking up on us, she is very knowledgeable about the wines and the entire wine industry. Thank you Brick Barn and Vanessa. We plan on visiting a lot more!“

“Great food, wine, and ambience. They also have a petting zoo for kids, and they host parties too.“

“Always fantastic here cheers!“

“To put things in perspective, I simply love the taste of pure coffee. I admire the elegant bean from drip to espresso. With this and even beyond into the fancy-pants lattes and holiday drinks, Queen Cup is always sure to tip the balance toward the beans — making certain the presence of coffee shines above all else. Behold, the vanquishers of goopy syrup and cloying drinks — Queen. Cup. Coffee. ☕🏆 ...oh yes, and their teas are rather quite lovely. 🧐🤌“

“My husband and I ate lunch here for the first time. So good and the prices are very reasonable. We will be back Alex!“

“Thank you, Tom, for the wonderful vineyard tour and private tasting! Your passion and knowledge are evident in conversation and we appreciated the time you spent with us. We’ll see you again when we pick up our first membership shipment!“

“Grappolo in Santa Ynez is a true gem. The food is amazing — bar none, the best ravioli we have ever had. The special pumpkin ravioli was out of this world — we can’t stop talking about it and will probably be dreaming about this dish for the next week. You have to try it! We also had the lemon caper sole, which was equally delicious and perfectly prepared. As self-proclaimed foodies, our expectations were high, but Grapolo far exceeded every one of them. Our server Eric made the evening even more memorable with his warm and attentive service. The quaint ambiance transported us straight to Tuscany — it felt like dining at a family-run hillside restaurant, authentic and second to none. We will absolutely be back — no matter what. Grapolo is a must-visit in Santa Ynez!“

“This place gets it. First and foremost, best Chardonnay I’ve ever tasted in my life (I’m not even a chard fan typically). The environment they’ve created is so vibey with a beautifully appointed cottage, deck and garden area. Duncan is very knowledgeable and intentional about his craft and you can tell him and his family put their hearts into everything here. Must go!“

“We had such a great experience at Future Perfect Wine! Sunshine, the owner and winemaker, is absolutely wonderful. She is warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and such a gracious host. You can really feel her passion for what she does, and it makes the tasting experience feel personal and special.

The wines were delicious across the board, and we genuinely enjoyed learning about them while relaxing on the porch and taking everything in. Great wine, great conversation, and a memorable experience. Future Perfect is a must stop in Los Olivos!“

“Phenomenal wines!. Blake is exceptional and knowledgeable and makes every trip there worthwhile. (They are appointment only.)“

“Service was excellent, dinner suggestions were great and we loved our whole experience. Highly recommend“

“Great wine -- reds, whites, desserts, and sometimes sparkling. It's a fun, casual place and the new tasting room is great, with comfy indoor seating as well as a nice sunny/shady patio. The staff is always super friendly and just truly nice people.“

“Alma Rosa Winery is nothing short of exceptional. It is a true gem in Santa Rita Hills and a must-visit for anyone who appreciates world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
What sets Alma Rosa apart begins with its legendary founder. Richard Sanford is widely regarded as the pioneer who brought Pinot Noir to Santa Rita Hills. Sanford is not only a visionary; he belongs on the Mount Rushmore of Pinot Noir winemakers. His influence shaped the region into one of the world’s most respected Pinot Noir appellations, and his legacy is deeply woven into the DNA of Alma Rosa. You are not simply tasting wine here. You are tasting history, innovation, and mastery in every glass.
The wines themselves are elegant, expressive, and beautifully balanced, showcasing the terroir of Santa Rita Hills with precision and restraint. Each pour reflects thoughtful craftsmanship and a deep respect for the vineyard.
The tasting courtyard is equally unforgettable. Serene, beautifully designed, and incredibly relaxing. It creates the perfect environment to slow down, savor the wines, and truly appreciate the experience.
Most impressive was the staff. Warm, welcoming, highly knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate. She elevated the tasting with thoughtful insights, approachable explanations, and sincere hospitality that never felt scripted or rushed.
Alma Rosa is not just a winery. It is a pilgrimage site for Pinot Noir lovers. Whether you are a casual wine enthusiast or a serious collector, this experience will stay with you long after the last sip.“

“Amazing taste with a homemade vibe.“

“I've done many wine tastings and this experience really stood out to us. The hospitality was incredible, the patio was charming and nicely shaded and we adored the wines. The small details like serving chips in a shell, and the decor on the inside being collected and well styled, this place just makes you feel good. We will absolutely be back, and the wines never disappoint.“

“This place has a great varieties of wines and has a warm welcoming atmosphere!“

“Great experience in the Spice Merchant today. So happy they do mail order!“

“We had a delicious pizza very good, oh, and the wine was superb!“

“This is definitely one tasting room you want to stop at!!. My friends have been members for years. And every time we take a trip, we stop here and it's definitely unforgettable. The staff is super friendly and definitely knowledgeable with what they know. Especially Stephen. One of my favorite wines is the barbarano, definitely trying that one. If you get a chance.“

“A lovely place with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and a big bonus for families with kids. We stopped by for a light breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed everything we tried. The cinnamon pastry was delicious, the coffee cake was more like an almond croissant rich, flaky, and full of flavor and the overnight oats were fresh, satisfying, and perfectly prepared.
Everything tasted fresh and delicious, and the atmosphere made us want to stay a little longer. The space itself is charming, comfortable, and very family-friendly.
The only slight disappointment was that they didn’t have the pretzel we were hoping to try. We arrived quite early, though, so that may have been the reason. In any case, it didn’t take away from an otherwise wonderful experience.
We would happily return the next time we’re in the area! 😊“

“We’ve been coming here for years and always make it a point to stop by whenever we’re in the area from Texas. The wines are consistently excellent, and the Pinot Noir is always a favorite. It really captures what makes this region so special—beautifully balanced, elegant, and full of character.

What keeps us coming back, though, is the tasting experience. The owners are incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about wine. Michael has a great way of sharing insights about the vineyards, winemakers, and the region without ever making it feel overwhelming. Every visit feels both enjoyable and educational.

If you love well-crafted wines and want to learn more about what makes this area unique, this place is definitely worth a visit.“

“Top notch hospitality and some of the best low-intervention wines in California. Brandon was great to talk with and was very knowledgeable about their wines and winemaking process.

Pro Tip: grab pizza next door at Lucky Penny afterwards!“

“My granddaughter and I are writing a review together! We love your smoothies here and the whole atmosphere! The servers are friendly and kind, and the smoothies are delicious and all different varieties! The Boba’s are fun too, and the little knickknacks they sell are also great! I recommended them highly in Solvang!!😋“

“The best wine , atmosphere, and the greatest staff“

“Do not miss this place. Cheap tasting for the purpose of tasting before you buy. Next door they sell $25 glasses of wine.
Fun lady taking care of people, the wine is good, it's just a gem in the rough.
Support this kind of wine tasting experience, stop supporting the insane $50-$100 tasting fees.“

“We stopped here after going to Solvang Brewery because we wanted to bar hop but no are specifically trying other beers in the area. We were surprised to walk into a beer shop with a nice gentleman who could tell we looked lost but when I asked about the bar the said it was a membership bar but since it was our first time he let us in as visitors with a pass to what I now know is a speakeasy. Super cool entrance which explains unassuming the beer shop. We were welcomed and impressed by the beer selection on tap. The server was very knowledgeable and the patrons were all extremely friendly and welcoming. We struck up a few conversations about beer, about the locals and just general chit chat with good beer and good people. They also sell snacks and there's an outdoor patio and games to play, things to read, and just a very cool atmosphere overall. Nothing snooty or pretentious about this place. It's great to be in a comfortable setting with mature adults who just love beer! Highly recommend place to chill and slavtually conversate with fellow beer admirerers. We would definitely go back and if you're local a membership is worth it.“

“Best coffee in Solvang! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩“

“Great experience for our first stop in Buellton! Matt was a wealth of knowledge and makes great wines! We had a great time and appreciated the tips he shared with us. He was spot on!!“

“the ladies are so friendly, and all pastries and baked goods are really yummy you can tell they put love in it!“

“If you are visiting Solvang CA, it is worth the short drive to visit this tasting room. We were delighted by our wine steward Izzy, who really took time to answer all of our questions. Her knowledge on the subject was very impressive. We especially enjoyed their Syrahs. We visited in late October and the weather was beautiful.“

“Beautiful winery. The owner is amazing. Went to a wedding here and it was one of the best weddings I’ve ever been to. Great wine as well.“

“My absolute favorite from there is a Mexican chocolate iced coffee it’s the yummiest treat EVER! They make the best and always smile! The owner I believe, Jen, helped me through two of the hardest days of my life back in 2019&2020. She’s an angel. 2020 I came through to get my fav coffee& a pup cup and big milkbone for my 15 yr old pup that day 04/28/20 was the day I had to help her get her angel wings, I will forever be grateful to Jen and her staff. I miss the Coffee Cabin I live in mid East now and when I visit I’ll be going there first! Tysm Coffee Cabin & sorry for the long review!“

“Always a pleasure to drive up, see the beautiful area and pick up my delicious, bold red wine! Plus a few more outstanding ones!“

“Natalie was a great host and the wine was delicious. We left with a bottle. 😊 🍷“

“We came here after visiting another winery in the morning. The food was great. Beautiful outdoor seating! Our wine tasting person was named Cheryl. She was fantastic! It was a really great experience!“

“We had the best Wine Tasting experience ever. The place and vibe are just perfect for friends and family. One thing that is truly remarkable here is their service. I can feel the warmth and hospitality of the owner who is truly kind. I would definitely come back and recommend this winery. Kudos!“

“Beautiful scenery, fabulous wines and charming hosts!“

“This is a smaller tasting room, but nicely laid back. Becca loves sharing what she knows about wine and learning about what works for YOU and why. Prolly would have gone home with a few bottles anyway but Becca made the experience even better. Plus they feature plenty of unusual varietals. Malvasia? Never even heard of it!“

“what a great night out as far as i can remember 😬😁! Great tasting wine three bottles made me sleep well later , the band The new vibe were great and even took the time for a little chat with us and photos , thanks for looking after us and being so friendly hope to make it back again soon !“
