Restaurants in Seattle

“Il Nido is one of the best Italian restaurants Seattle has to offer! 🇮🇹

We had an absolutely fantastic meal here, with every dish delivering on flavor. We started with the house focaccia, prosciutto, and burrata, followed by the Neah Bay king salmon, mafaldine, and tagliatelle. Everything was delicious, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. And save room for dessert—the tiramisu and cheesecake were both divine!

The service was excellent, and the setting is just as lovely. Housed in a converted home near Alki, Il Nido has a warm, intimate atmosphere that makes it perfect for a special occasion or a memorable dinner out.

Make sure to book a reservation, as walk-in availability may be limited. It’s not an everyday casual meal, but the quality of the food and the overall experience make it absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!”

“Had a Great Experience. Would definitely Recommend.”

“Wonderful dinner; would return.”

“Oyster poor boy was the best sandwich ever”

“Authentic, fresh, and entirely delicious. The homemade cannelloni pasta noodles and filling were absolute perfection! Fantastic marinara! And the pizza… amazing. So much for leftovers! And I haven’t even mentioned the kindness of all of the staff. Can’t wait to come back to this gem!”

“Fabulous venue for a Wedding ❤️”

“I’ve been coming to the original place since my oldest son was a toddler and now he’s 28.

Love this family own business.

We have never had bones soup like theirs before. I would have to say it’s my favorite in Washington. Must have with Chinese donut.

Another dish we love is
# 20! We always get it every time we come whether we choose beef or everything.

Last one we get is the fisherman bowl. So good especially in a rainy day.

Yesterday my boys asked for them so drove today all the from Renton just to grab some to go for dinner.

Thank you for feeding me and my kids all these years!! You guys are a blessing!”

“Tacos, so good. The carne asada is fantastic. BUT THE FLAN is the secret star here. Creamy and rich, the custard texture is better than any flan I've had.. and I've had a lot”

“This is one of Seattle’s best Italian restaurants. You won’t be disappointed.”

“Best Ethiopian food I've had in a while, and everyone is so nice! The food is fresh and even the cheese is made the same day! I'm definitely going to come back here ❤️”

“Lovely. Small but precise menu. Escargots cooked with plenty of garlic, olive oil, and parsley...divine to mop up with excellent bread. The half chicken was generous in size (will end up being three meals) and cooked perfectly if a tad too salty what with the copious amount of lardon. A truly sweet establishment.”

“This is one of the best places to eat. The owner is wonderful and the staff as well. The food is awesome! We love to go here and will continue to!”

“I love Sushi Kappo Tamura and Taichi!! I have a hard time eating sushi anywhere else.”

“Large portions of the most buttery steaks and pork we have ever had. Real Japanese A5 wagyu grilled for you on the table.”

“Their local beer selection is impressive. The staff is friendly and very attentive. The food is exceptional and is reasonably priced especially for what it is. The atmosphere… awesome. So much investment in detail with the custom doors, furniture and decor. It definitely feels like a passion project. Seems like the best places are. I can see myself becoming a regular here.”

“After having been to Driftwood twelve times I can confidently say it’s the only restaurant in Seattle worth dining at.  Lots of places make claims about freshness and local ingredients, but chef Dan Mallahan shops at the Farmers Market two days a week. It’s not a joke or a gimmick. If you want to eat food grown exclusively in Washington State, that tastes real, then Driftwood is the spot. They serve tomatoes that actually have flavor, delicious veggie dishes, and meat and fish that are tender and juicy. They combine so many flavors in a subtle harmony making each bite you take delightful. Not to mention the killer cocktails.  The vibe is beautiful but chill. The staff are lovely and kind. Everything about Driftwood is real. The food, the people, even the hand towels in the bathroom.  Concerned about prices at a farm-to-table restaurant and getting enough to eat? Go with a friend and share two starters and a main. For example, I just had the Olsen Farm Kennebec JoJos, the Piece by Piece Farm Tempura Delicata squash, and the Butcher’s Cut Pork Chop. Yum!”

“If I lived in Seattle def would be my go to restaurant. Amazing service and incredible food. Highly recommend the Dutch Baby. Salmon Salad Sandwich and French Onion Soup! Do you deliver to Ohio?? 😁”

“Always amazing! The atmosphere, the service, the food. My favorite place in the area.”

“The atmosphere is superb! I love the heathy option. Remember your input matters. You cannot expect same output (outcome) when you are putting bad inputs. Self-care by eating healthy food option. This is a place for those who take their body seriously. The staffs tend to be busy but it is worth the wait. I can see that they really do care about the food and its service. Btw I even saw @spencerhawes NBA player order here. Which means foods are good here. Sport players know what tastes good! Come and taste!”

“A very nice experience today with nice service and nice ambience. I'm not a big sushi fan but there are many other nice options too here. 5 out of 5.”

“Provide high-quality local ingredients and creative dishes, with a comfortable atmosphere and attentive service.”

“Amazing food and staff was great!”

“The food was phenomenal! Authentic, flavorful and so delicious. My mind was blown the whole night. Their mocktails and sweet tea are amazing! We will definitely be coming back!”

“Great ambiance, nice food, good drinks.”

“One of the best sushi restaurants I’ve been part of!”

“They have an amazing, perfectly prepared Basque cuisine, a fantastic wine selection and impeccable service at a price that is appropriate for the quality of fare. I highly recommend The Harvest Vine!!”

“ALL the food was delicious 😋”

“Love this place everytime we in Chicago”

“The best steak i have ever had !! Everything was sooo good! All the salsas were delicious. Loved it ! You gotta have dessert.. arroz con leche!”

“Your food and drinks are amazing! Had a burger with a BUN for the first time in a VERY long time! I'd pretty much given up on gluten free buns. The peach sour and the beer was delish! Felt so good to know I could eat anything on the menu and not worry about any cross contamination!”

“The historic landmark is treasure in the International District and new getaway from downtown if you get bored with all the cafes in the area.”

“Great food and workers are amazing!”

“Shhhhh Seattle its the Best 2am Fried Chicken.
When you have a secret place to get 'better than KFC' chicken, open 24 hours, you kinda don't wanna post or tell anyone. Took me 5+ years to share this. I just tell everyone go to Ezells or Heaven Sent but they won't be open 24 hrs. I'll be hitting the 🐚 late night. Crunk Fried Chicken, yep.”

“I've only been through the drive through. Expect a long wait. Friendly staff at window. Atmosphere is a lil sketchy in the parking lot which is next to drive through”

“Ba ya nana milk shakes. I repeat ! ! 💛 B. A. N. A. N. A. M. I. L. K. 💛 S. H. A. K. E. S. 💛 ! ! ! The best thing life can offer. Milk shakes are always Tall, COLD, creamy, and you can tell they use a premium syrup. Not to mention a real quality ice cream. Love! 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛”

“My Waitress Suyokito had great customer service, I was greeted with a friendly smiley and good vibes. the food was good and Suyokito was awesome thank you for the dining experience.”

“Sand Point Country Club is a gem. The course is beautiful, the facilities are top-notch, and the overall atmosphere is welcoming and family-friendly. The community here is what really sets it apart—warm, fun, and genuinely special. Highly recommend!”

“Definitely a hidden gem in the city. Love this spot, an amazing space with amazing people. Definitely a laid back environment with things to do, but more of a hang out spot than a stuffy space where you’re supposed to be somebody. Love this space, thank you Matt!”

“We got espresso shots so I could make my boyfriend do a coffee tasting and the bartender gave us a bar of chocolate to pair with it. The alcohol drinks were great too”

“My regular go to for lunch, staff is courteous and quick.”

“Really good food and the prices are reasonable”

“I am from out of town, and just absolutely loved chatting with the gentleman working there. Thanks!”

“i had the dubai chocolate pancakes and they were fantastic! looked just like the picture too!”

“Leydi, and Kelly deserve a raise; for their time, and patience, with understanding, me.
Groovy blessings to all of you; and to all of your households'.”

“Friendly staff in the drive through and fast service.”

“One of my favorite Japanese restaurants (not to mention the oldest in Seattle) and it has never disappointed me. The food is delicious and the service is friendly and warm. It’s a difficult time we are in with the pandemic of 2020, but Maneki has transitioned to take out, which it never did before, and is so organized that it blew my mind when I saw how clearly labeled each item was when I got home. I could easily tell which was part of the teishoku 定食 or “set meal.” Support this small business because it needs us now more than ever. 01 DEC 2020.”

“this place is awesome. good food, good drinks, good service. dang, Seattle , you got some good food.”

“Grilling is n art Issian has mastered . This is why we- my family and friends- love this place.”

“Great neighborhood location to eat on Queen Anne.”

“My first day in my new city and as I walked around trying to find what I needed and came across a sign leading me here. The barista was kind and listened to my story. The pastry was amazing with tons of cinnamon and the mocha, just what I needed to move on with my move in.”

“Awesome sandwiches and atmosphere.”

“Delicious food, perfect tea, and a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. I love the Edmonds location because I can walk there from my home! Cannot recommend highly enough! Five out five stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”

“OMG! I just ate a Lilikói shortbread cookie. I found them at Uwajimaya. This is the best cookie ever!!!! Thank you Patrick’s!! 💜”

“Excelente service thank you 🙏”

“Bomb tacos and I love the burrito bowl. El Pastor is my fav.”

“10/9/2021 Recommend? Yes. I arrived right after they open with my luggage because I was starving from my long train ride in from Whitefish, MT. The server was super nice. He got me hot tea and banh cam to settle in with. I ordered bo bia (autumn rolls), vegan pho, and roasted pork banh mi (to go). The banh cam had a thick dough and it was huge. Two of those could've been a whole meal. Everything I ordered was delicious and they were so kind! My favorite was definitely the banh mi. It was even good after I had refridgerated it. The best part was the vegan butter and vegan pate. I absolutely loved it, best vegan banh mi I've had.”

“Everything is great there!”

“You gotta be outta your mind if you haven’t tried their ice cream. Best in the PNW. Great flavors and it’s vegan as well! Yep I said the “V” word. I guarantee you won’t find any better ice cream then theirs. I’m hooked! ❤️”

“If you want true vegan Mexican food, this is the spot. Don't disappoint yourself by going elsewhere, seriously. Located right across the street from the Pioneer Square station.”

“Great food and drinks plus excellent service… What’s not to like? 🥳”

“Cool bar with a varied drink menu with lots of creative cocktails and a good wine selection as well. Only a couple of beers available, but all good local options. Friendly service and a Happy Hour that is hard to beat.

While we liked the drinks, the food was only okay, so it may not be my first choice for a dinner. But a great spot for drinks/snacks!”

“A casual random bar with 5star food and drinks. Anytime we visit Seattle we stop in to see what random eats are on the menu. It never disappoints, don’t miss this spot”

“Great prices, great service, good food, quick. One of my fav lunch spots in the area.”

“Nice people’s and great place for have fun 😎”

“The rice pudding is delicious. The Chinese donuts are amazing. We were already plenty full from another meal, but swung in, just to see. We're are until we hurt. Incredible. I'm an incredibly picky eater. 10/10”

“my spouse and I both got reubens with an order of fries and we're so glad we came in! we're kind of reuben snobs and these really hit the spot - they were super flavorful and the seitan had a great bite to it. the server/bartender was friendly and helpful, and the space is dark and cozy. wish I had room to try some dessert because the photos made their offerings look tasty!”

“First the food was great and the portions reasonable. They offer a choice of steamed or sticky rice with your entree. It is a modern, cosy spot in the alley with a bar and indoor & outdoor seating. Give it a try!”

“The barista’s are always welcoming and warm. Their lattes are dreamy! The pastries are fantastic!”

“Superb food and staff! Excellent cocktail game and I love their Moroccan wines. Brothers Khalid and Aziz are top shelf people and owners. Every time we take guests there for the first time, they love it and often say it was one of their best meals ever! Get the harissa veggie, squid Steak and tenderloin for sure. Great specials always!”

“Musang is absolutely some of the best Filipino food you will ever have. They put their heart on the plate and it's an experience to remember. I'll be back.🥰”

“I was in town for a special event, I haven't been here before and was amazed with every aspect of my experience. our server Charles was utterly fabulous. he was very knowledgeable, thoughtful and prompt. he made it feel like we were old friends. the steaks were perfectly cooked. I am 4 and 1/2 years sober, and to go out and enjoy an exquisite meal and only drink water can be a drag, but you all had an amazing selection of mocktails, my partners and I enjoyed immensely. I took the time to thank Charles for everything and got to meet Justin, letting him know how wonderful everything was. this will definitely be a regular stop anytime I visit.”

“The Queen Anne How to Cook a Wolf is consistent in being excellent. The food is always prepared to perfection. The ingredients are well sourced. The atmosphere is lovely. The staff is incredibly friendly without being intrusive. It's my favorite neighborhood restaurant and one of my top 3 in Seattle.”

“Nothing but love for a local chicken joint with nothing but love for me and mine. ❤️ fantastic atmosphere, good music, good food! Try the honey butter biscuit fried chicken sandwich, with some hot sauce, your soul will thank you. Much love to all of the staff there, y'all have saved my behind and fed my soul, more than I care to admit.”

“Best sushi. Joe is an exceptional sushi chef. His support staff are incredible. Vintage stereo equipment and vinyl records on the walls. Don’t miss out.”

“No lie, one of the best banh mi's I've ever had and there is no shortage of good shops in Seattle. I wish the thai iced tea was a tiny bit stronger but that was a magical banh mi experience. Will be back”

“Excellent food. Wonderful service .. Recommend The Shambles steaks… all of them🙃”

“Tried this very special “takeout only omakase sushi box”, Edomae style ( use cured/aged fish, and red vinegar seasoning in rice). The executive chef, chef Ryo, has worked in many renowned restaurant including Michelin star sushi restaurant “Sushi Sho”. Before joining this new restaurant “Ltd Edition Sushi” in capitol hill, he worked side by side with chef Nakazawa-an icon of edomae style in Japan, at both Sushi Sho Tokyo and Sushi Sho Honolulu. The sushi omakase box and kids fish bowl are both very sophisticated, the curing and aging techniques brings out the deep complex flavor of each fish and gives each fish this extra tender texture, the taste profile as such is hard to find here in Seattle. Chef sake flight ( we tried Haneya Junmai Ginjo and Hidakami Junmai today), one is floral and one on the dry side, pair with his sushi very well. Sushi is in a very elegant wooden box and everything you will need for the experience including a separate soy sauce dipping dish is prepared for the guest. This is, truly, a perfect omakase takeout experience. 💕💕😋”

“Service is ON POINT !!!! Food is amazing and our waitress is amazing ! We had to bring our little one last min because child care wasn’t available. But they kindly accommodate my little one and gave her some cooked sushi !!! We really appreciate it ! We definitely will come back for a different menu because their menu changes every month ! I recommend anyone coming over to try it if they want an authentic Japanese meal in Seattle !!!”

“This was an amazing restaurant! Lots of dishes! Very good sushi and kaiseki dishes. Very good restaurant for those special occasions (anniversary or birthdays). Chef Taneda was very friendly as he makes the sushi dishes in front of you. All while the keiseki dishes come out in front of you.”

“This a fun spot with cheeky humor and entertainment. The food is delicious and the drinks well made. Very friendly staff and entertainers.”

“Absolutely phenomenal service and food. We had recently visited Japan and were looking for Omakase in Seattle that would match the style and quality of what we had experienced there and Wataru hit the spot.

The red bluefin tuna and the Spanish mackerel were particular highlights along with the Anagi. An absolutely splendid 17 courses. We look forward to coming back soon to enjoy Chef Kumita’s sushi.”

“Extraordinary food. Great service!”

“its a fantastic lovely place to be.”

“Amazing staff and Tommy Patrick is a wonderful host.”

“ほんまに美味しかったです。皆さん仮装していらっしゃって楽しいディナーでした。❤️🎃”

“The Queen Anne How to Cook a Wolf is consistent in being excellent. The food is always prepared to perfection. The ingredients are well sourced. The atmosphere is lovely. The staff is incredibly friendly without being intrusive. It's my favorite neighborhood restaurant and one of my top 3 in Seattle.”

“My experience at The Capital Grille was fantastic, and our bartender, Alberto, made the experience even better! He was warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. His recommendations were spot on, and he made us feel so welcome. It’s the kind of service that makes you want to come back. Highly recommend sitting at the bar if he’s there!”

“Great food and the tasting menu was able to accommodate our tastes while still being interesting”

“Absolutely epic source for all thing’s DELICIOUS! We are obsessed with the Pate en Croute, meat pies, every flavor sausage, and their perfectly aged cuts of locally sourced meat!”

“I had one of the best cocktails of my life here! The wood fired cabbage was creative and tasty. The bartender was super friendly and welcoming. My husband and I live in Portland and we keep talking about making the trip back up to Seattle just for this place.”

“Insanely delicious! If there's a line git in it and wait because you won't be disappointed. The Ube coconut was amazing! But then again purple is my favorite flavor 😆”

“We stumbled upon this little Cafe while waiting for a train to come in. we had the Bánh mi drip! Absolutly amazing,so much flavor!!! the broth to dip in was so yummy! I'd drive the 4 hrs to eat here again!”

“Such a lovely and convenient location. Helpful, friendly service. A simple yet elegant atmosphere ♥️☕️”

“My first time being here and, Had a great time at Rooftop Brewing Company inside of the Jolly Roger Taproom! 🍻 I’ve tried a flight of the Old Seattle Lager 5%, La Azotea Mexican Lager 4.5%, Fresh Hop Amarillo IPA 6%, Tropical Staycation Hazy IPA 6.9%, and the Imperial IPA 7.5%.

My personal favorites are definitely the Old Seattle Lager and La Azotea Mexican Lager — both were refreshing, smooth, and easy to drink. I love getting to try the different styles they have available, and there’s a great variety depending on what you’re in the mood for.

Great beer, fun atmosphere, and definitely a place I’d come back to!”

“From a Philly gal- these are legit cheesesteaks. & the TastyKakes are a plus! This place is the real deal”

“Thanks for sharing me guys! Love your coffee place! It’s a hot spot in #Calgary to run into cool people.”

“The food is so delicious 🫰I love it.If you come to seattle you must try it .”

“There are places that claim to make good sandwiches. Valhalla makes great sandwiches. I have had two competitors sandwiches this week and I was so disappointed. Valhalla puts out a product that’s swings way above its price point. They put “gourmet” in gourmet sandwiches.”

“friendly staff, great coffee. Will definitely be back for more.”

“Best burger I've had from a place other than home. If my belly was bigger, I would've eaten 10! Between the burger and mega crispy fries, it was the perfect amount of food. I can't wait to come back 😁🤤”

“Excellent coffee, one of the best i’ve had in Portland which sets a pretty high bar.”

“Cheesy biscuit just melts in your mouth when they're fresh from the oven. Now I wonder how best to reheat the biscuit once home to reproduce that experience???”

“Forget that other company's stake on the claim. Realfine is the best part of waking up.”

“Very unique offerings at this little cafe! Nothing is quite as it seems—your egg sandwich might be a little sweet, your streusel cake a little savory, or your hot chocolate a little spicy. These unique twists keep the dishes on your mind.

My favorites are probably the sweet brick toast, muesli skyr bowl, and lava chocolate chip cookie. I will say that the drinks I've tried weren't my favorite; many will probably appreciate that they aren't too sweet, but I personally could have used a little more sweetness!

The space is pretty small, just a couple couches and maybe a dozen counter seats. They do have free wifi and lots of outlets though!”

“I thoroughly enjoy how I can just sit down and drink a beer while waiting for the deep dish pizza that is absolutely delicious and definitely not the same like any other pizza place around Seattle. and it is now the only place where I will. an have been getting my pizza. so I definitely recommend”

“Fantastic sandwiches — but be prepared to hunt for parking. We ordered the Grindhouse, a Mortadella, classic Salami, stacked with Dijon mustard, mayo, shredded iceberg, house made dill pickles, provolone, and a bright red wine vinaigrette, all on a perfectly chewy demi baguette. Every bite was balanced and delicious in a cute space. Downside for older guests is the unmanned Kiosk to order. No opportunity to ask about the sandwiches and then after ordering yourself the kiosk asks for a tip! And parking, however, was nearly impossible. We ended up in a garage that cost more than the sandwich itself. Still, the food was excellent — just go when you have patience (or a chauffeur).”

“We visited Local Bigger Burger yesterday and were thoroughly impressed. The availability of halal options made the meal even more enjoyable. We tried the sriracha burger, Smash, Bacon Cheddar, chicken wings, and jalapeño poppers—all packed with great flavor—and the fries were perfectly crisp. I’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend giving this place a try.”

“My husband introduced me to Tai Tung shortly after we were married 60 years ago. My sons grew up eating there and much later my granddaughter did too. The food is exquisite, especially shrimp in crab sauce, the service is impeccable and the ambiance is kind of old fashioned and comfortable. In fact, Tai Tung is and always has been virtually the best restaurant in Seattle.”

“Hands down best pizza in Seattle”

“Our food at the Von's Woodinville was outstanding and received great service from Ella. We hope she will be adding a star to her collection.”

“Hera helped me out so much! She was kind, attentive, and the food was amazing! So rich in flavor and they were pretty fast at getting my order! I’ll definitely definitely be coming back!”

“Linda runs a great restaurant and it's well worth the visit”

“Wonderful dinner; would return.”

“Overall pizza is made fresh, with a nice golden crust and the toppings are always fresh and flavorful. Manager and staff are very friendly and personable. I want to give a special shout out to the wife (Rokiyah) of the owner. she is very humble and very accommodating with the last-minute orders. You will not regret ordering at this pizza place. I keep going back for more.”

“Lovely place! The tender even gave me a complimentary tickle on my tush while i was leaving!”

“The best Mexican food I have found in Seattle. Incredible rice and beans, quesadillas and the service is friendly and fast.”

“They don't go in order they do the car at window first. I'm have caught a bus. I miss my bus because they slow. Not just morning it afternoon too. Nancy 😼”

“This is my favorite place to get quick quality Chinese take out they have so many options and great proportions for the price. The rice varieties are my favorite. The staff is very friendly and quick to notice regulars.”

“Area is for the most part a restaurant desert. Parking lot is small. If you don't live nearby, please leave room for nearby residents by parking at Husky Stadium.”

“We were thrilled with everything about this new restaurant. LOVED the food selections, wine was divine and service impeccable. Highly recommend!”

“My husband and I are in town visiting and saw this not too far from the Link and decided to try it out. We had a short wait before we were seated. Had prompt, wonderful service from Michelle, and amazing food with giant portions. I typically only eat half of anything I order, but the food was so good, I ate 90% of my meal. If you are visiting, or live in the area, this is definitely a must for breakfast, lunch or brunch.”

“Creative menu, always well prepared.”

“Love this place. Been going here for years.”

“I have eaten at Toulouse Petit many times. It is my husband and I's favorite spot. We have tried many items on the menus and have never walked away unsatisfied. The food is always amazing, the service is kind, and it’s just a place I love coming back to. If you’ve never been, you should definitely check it out. It’s one of Seattle’s best.”

“Loved this place. First day arriving from the east coast so time adjustment. Wandered down to Seattles beautiful water front, not starving but hungry and low energy. Walked up and they were super busy. They never made us feel like we were crazy, told us it would probably be 10 minutes and it was absolutely not a second longer. Great service, got a dozen PNW oysters, clam chowder and split the crab cakes! Boom, all great, perfect amount. Thank you Elliott's see you next trip.”

“Had an absolute amazing time. The Smoke & Bourbon had such a cool presentation and the Black Cod thing I had turned me onto black cod for life. The views are literally the best on Seattle. It's the whole waterfront, the mountains and the islands. Just go!”

“The food is always very good. We come here every time we’re in town to visit our husky at UW. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. A bit pricey.”

“Always such a pleasant experience. Very busy last night, the service and food was amazing. Food came out much faster than I thought it would considering how busy it was!”

“We were back in town for the marathon last weekend. My husband went to culinary school at the Art Institute of Seattle and we have been back to visit many times. I just wanted to leave a note here about the waiter we had Sunday evening. It was the best service we have had in a long time. Several other restaurants we went to included an 18-20% gratuity to the check, and service reflected that. Cutters doesn’t. Our waiter gave good wine recommendations, was attentive, patient with our kids, and even gave us a small portion of noodles to take home and finish with the sauce that came with the mussels. We tipped accordingly, and really did appriciate the service. It seems to be a lost art. Food was great! Kids loved the mocktails. 2 course meal was delicious. It was a great place for my husband to get his seafood fix. Thank you!”

“Delicious food, good service and a beautiful view”

“Such an amazing restaurant, great staff and delish food.”

“turner was such an amazing host he anticipated our needs and delivered every time. amazing energy he lit took care of 6 people perfectly and matched our vibe i hope he gets everything he wants in life and more plus all the tips in the entire world”

“This amazing establishment provided chowder & bisque for the Classic Yacht Association's Bell Harbor Rendezvous over this last Fathers' Day weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed luscious bowls of absolute scrumptiousness, and appreciated their courteous, kind, and professional staff. Thank you!!! Highly recommend!”

“Best sushi in town open late”

“A real Southern meat 'n' three, right here in Seattle! I'm so glad I stopped in. It's down-home cooking made with love and plenty of flavor. The menu isn't huge and I've tried most of the items, so here are my thoughts:
• House Smoked Meatloaf: Absolute must-try. My favorite item on the menu. Tender, moist, and seasoned all the way through, improved only by the delicious chipotle tomato jam.
• Hot Honey Cornbread Fritters: Definitely don't skip this one, either. Eat em' fresh for the most luxurious combination of crispy, tender, sweet, savory, spicy, and overall heavenly.
• Red Potato Salad: Delicious and surprisingly light! Not your everyday potato salad—I'd definitely recommend trying some.
• House Pickle Chips: Crunchy and fresh, like good pickles should be. An excellent addition to balance out the heavy mains.
• Banana Pudding Ice Box Cake: A unique take on a Southern classic, but don't expect a traditional banana pudding!
• Rotating Seasonal Dessert: When I visited, it was a peach cobbler cheesecake and it was absolutely divine. If you're not feeling the banana pudding, I doubt you can go wrong with whatever other dessert they have available.
• Sweet Tea: Another rare find in Seattle, the sweet tea is actually brewed sweet and it's delicious. Plus the owners let me top it off before I left!
• Braised Pork Shoulder: Very flavorful and moist, but could use a little less salt and a little more acid.
• Braised Rosemary White Beans: Good, but probably my least favorite item on the menu. They could be a bit more thoughtful—they taste like canned beans with some chopped rosemary stirred in.
• Miso Honey Butter Green Beans: The sauce is excellent. They'd be even better with fresh (not canned) green beans.
• Charred Maple Glazed Carrots: Love the balance of sweet and spicy!
• Marinated Slaw: A little bit elevated but still comforting, with some poppy seeds and a little bit of horseradish or something similar to cut through the mayo.

There are only about 8 seats inside, but it's near the lake so it's great to take out for a little picnic. The prices are also super reasonable.

The owners were extremely warm and kind during my visit—even the little one! It's clear that Zax is run with care and passion.”

“Sarah and the other staff are awesome! I went for the Lorcana pre-release and it’s a really cool space! Awesome drinks and really great atmosphere! Definitely coming back!”

“Great sandwich and friendly staff! Will go back”

“The vibes are immaculate. The interior is gorgeous, the staff were super great and so sweet with my kids, the entire menu looks delicious. I’m so excited y’all are back. ❤️❤️”

“The food at Raku was absolutely delicious! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. We really enjoyed our meal and would definitely come back! Special shoutout to Spencer, who was super sweet, friendly, and adorable! ❤”

“Tried asada, birria, chicken and shrimp tacos. All were very good. My favourite were birria amd shrimp which I re-ordered. The service was efficient and foods were at reasonable price.”

“Very nice local vibe coffee shop with great coffee. The baristas were super helpful I ended up trying a new special and wasn’t the biggest fan and they were so nice in making me a new drink that I really enjoyed. My husband got the mocha special and loved it.

Check them out, we will be back!”

“Wow, this food was so incredible and unique. We got a brisket waffle sandwich, fried chicken waffle sandwich, Nelly scramble and breakfast salad along with several cocktails and everything was absolutely delicious and special. The owner served us and made sure we were very well taken care of out celebrating our friend’s bday on a Monday afternoon. Thank you very much - canNOT wait to come back!!!”

“amazing! the flavors and textures are truely unique!”

“Italian cold cut sandwich perfection. I've ordered most of the menu, and my decision gets tougher to make after each visit. Their chanterelle soup is also perfection, and insanely cheap. I reminisce often about the chanterelle sandwich they had as a special. It's no secret. What did they do with their rapid success? Made the sandwiches bigger at the same prices. Get there early and bring a crowd. Try everything.”

“Great ambiance and service”

“I have come here a handful of times with my partner and I love it! I don't think I have ever had a bad dish here. I try to order something different each time but there is so much to choose from! And so far my favorite is the basil stir fry and the eggplant basil stir fry. The portions are generous for the price. I like to order 2 or 3 dishes and then take the leftovers. They last me a few days afterward! The staff is very friendly and I enjoy my conversations with them. All in all, a great place. If I lived closer, I'd probably come here several times a week.”

“This is a completely GF BBQ spot me and the GF Bff's tried today, and wow are we glad we did. All of us were floored at the depth of flavor and thoughtful customer service. It's incredibly filling too. Do not sleep on the desserts. While outsider barbecue is solid this place is much cozier in its feel both in the neighborhood and in the interaction with the owner who was manning the till. 10/10 can't wait to go back

“New favorite ice cream place! Amelie was so helpful. It was nice to be able to support such an awesome locally owned family business. Their hours vary so I would recommend stopping by if you’re in the area even if google says it’s closed.”

“We were thrilled with everything about this new restaurant. LOVED the food selections, wine was divine and service impeccable. Highly recommend!”
