“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!”

“Came in for last minute drinks and dinner at the bar. Wonderful service in the bar from Henry and Tiffany, shared a few starters, entree and dessert. Would absolutely come back soon!”

“Fantastic meal. Fantastic service! I was very impressed with the owners care for my family and interest in their enjoyment of their meal. We will definitely be back. The place was packed and should continue to be.”
“I’ve dined at El Gran Taco twice and I’ve been very impressed with the quality of the food and its large menu . The service was exceptional with a smile. ❤️❤️”
“Great pastry!! Delicious coffee! Highly recommend to visit!”
“Great hot dogs and hamburgers! Will definitely put this place in the rotation.”
“Our first time to visit! The chicken fried steak was huge! Eggs and hash browns were cooked perfectly! Service was friendly and helpful! They call themselves a dive bar. Not an insult but I don’t think that description fits based on this visit.”
“Great service. Food was delicious. We had the Buffalo and Honey Garlic flavor wings. They both were delicious. Generous crinkle fries and delicious pineapple mango lemonade. We were excited to find a late night spot with delicious food. Definitely a great find. And great service.”
“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!”

“I have the great luck of eating home cooked Thai and Cambodian food so my opinion is colored by regional home cooked meals. With that, Phnom Penh Noodle House serves up traditional and deliciois Cambodian foods in generous portions at reasonable prices. The servers and wait staff are friendly, skilled, and easy to chat with. You will find three generational dining at many of tables and it reminds me of attending a family event. Come for the great food and come back for the easy going atmosphere.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”

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

“This place is awesome! No frills burrito spot, generous in portion, and easy on the wallet. It's like an excellent Taco Bell or really humble Chipotle, except better than both. The inside is pretty bare, but you're going there to eat, not scrutinize the interior decorating. If you are, then maybe re-think your priorities, eh?
If you REALLY can't stand to be inside, there's a pleasant outdoor sitting area, where you can graze, look at the goings on in the park or admire the local wildlife.
Anyways, do yourself a favor and check it out.”
“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.”
“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! 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.

Takeout Restaurants
“Cute, kitschy, casual ambiance. The Lao chicken noodle soup- wow. I’m so picky with noodles of any kind and this was spot on al dente ( I think it’s house made) and the broth was rich and deep without being overtly salty. The bork belly was also great and paired well with the soup.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Absolutely charming little spot serving fresh, perfectly seasoned dishes that are sure to please. Excellent and knowledgeable staff can make recommendations from the ever-changing menu based on your tastes, and it's easy to have almost any dish modified to be vegetarian or vegan. Perusing the tasting notes on the wine wall is a nice way to pass the time - great prices on the take-home bottles. If you're on a budget (and I usually am), grab a snack or two. Otherwise, try a little of everything!”
“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.”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“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.”
“I’ve been coming here since 2019 and have genuinely never had a bad experience. It’s easily one of my favorite spots in Seattle and definitely a go-to in Belltown! The food, drinks, service, music, and overall vibe are always consistently good. Their nachos are one of my favorites, and my husband and I will often stop in just to grab some drinks and share an order. After all these years, it’s still one of those places I know I can count on for good food, good drinks, and a great atmosphere!”
“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!”
“This place was a lot more hip and laid back than I was expecting based on their website. All of the dishes were creative and well prepared. The staff is friendly and down to earth. The patio vibes are divine, and we were even paid a visit by the owner’s cat who was an actual angel on earth. We would absolutely
be regulars here if we lived locally.”
“We hosted out engagement party at My Friend Derek's and it could not have gone any better!!!!! Not only is this some of the best pizza in Seattle, the staff took exceptionally good care of us. It felt like the pizza was endless, and they made so many off menu fun pizzas for us. The drinks were amazing (spritzes, natural wine, craft beer) and the vibes were top tier. Our guests had an absolute blast.”
“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.”
“the food was delicious! with a hidden menu inside..bangsilog...oxtail and Kare kare to name a few. however it does not beat the personal interaction with Tito Greg!”

Fine Dining
“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.”
“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.”
“Wow I visited this place for my bday to do something unique for my 40th and it was just what a wanted and more. I felt special for my day ! Didnt have to think about the menu because everything was good even the bartenders choice drinks ! The staff was professional and friendly spoke spoken . I think they only seat 8 at a time so it’s pretty intimate and comfortable.”
“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.

“This place is so good, food and drinks are on point! Definitely recommend for a romantic couple or a get together with friends.”

“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!”
“Phenomenal restaurant. The best fresh fish I've had in this area, and at an incredible deal (for the area). The owner is super nice and welcoming, the food comes out faster than should be possible for the fact that I can see them cutting the fish fresh. Took like 1-2 minutes to get my food at 11:45 on Friday, there was no line. At around 12:15 there was a consistent line with 5ish people.
My only wish is that they were open on weekends.”
“Lovely. Small but precise menu. Escargots cooked with plenty of garlic, olive oil, and parsley...divine to mop up with excellent bread.

“I love Sushi Kappo Tamura and Taichi!! I have a hard time eating sushi anywhere else.”
“I went to their Seattle location for Cinco de Mayo. I had their mango margarita and their breakfast burrito with carnitas. Both were delicious! They have artwork available for purchase and I saw a couple I’d like to buy for myself. I will have to go back and do that.”
“Ok I just had THE BEST food here!! The momos were to die for! The lamb samosa, bloody delicious!! I can not wait to come back to Seattle again and eat here. I will most certainly be recommending them to everyone!!!”
“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.

“Our meal at Cinque Terre was amazing. That was seriously some of the best pesto I've ever had. My husband's boar pasta had plenty of meat in the sauce. The pasta was fresh. And they even had some good mocktails - as a non-drinker, I appreciate when a restaurant takes the time to create drinks that make me feel welcomed. The atmosphere was peaceful - not too loud in any way. I would absolutely recommend this place”
“Fantastic meal. Fantastic service! I was very impressed with the owners care for my family and interest in their enjoyment of their meal. We will definitely be back. The place was packed and should continue to be.”

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

“This place is a gem! Go now! It's outside of the fray of the market. The staff is so kind and attentive. A lovely break from sightseeing.”
“We highly enjoyed our time at NEKO! The kitties were so sweet and funny. Our pawrista was kind and helpful. Our kitty bouncer was informative and helpful, as well. Our time there was a-meow-zing!”
“Charmingly tucked away in Pike Place Market's atrium, you might side-eye the lofty pasta prices for counter-style service, just like I did, until... BAM! You just ate the freshest pasta with height of the season specialized ingredients. You know, like they do in Italy, and it's worth every penny. Have you ever had a walnut pesto with sauteed fiddlehead ferns, leeks, and aleppo pepper flakes? I can't say enough good things about how amazing it was and you get to watch the very cool, friendly crew make everything in the open kitchen. I did pass on the $14 wine pour because that's not right for lunch. That would get me a whole carafe in Italy.”
“Delicious lunch and sold us some pastrami to take home! Friendly and fun place to catch a bite.”
“Excellent food. Wonderful service .. Recommend The Shambles steaks… all of them🙃”
“We went for our anniversary and everything was exceptional. Jon was our server and made the experience everything we could ever want. The gorgonzola NY steak was one of the best I've ever had. Highly recommend.”
“Great food, fantastic servers and bartenders. Super friendly neighborhood restaurant but also worth a drive if you don’t live close by!”

“Lovely people, wonderful food, friendly atmosphere, open in the evenings, vegetarian options, right in my neighborhood. So glad they’re here!”
“Just WOW!!! The Varner is MONEY!!! Very Unique spot. Nice people, great service!”
“Our first visit was yesterday for lunch and we had Chicken Xiao Long Bao, Chicken pan-fried potstickers, Chicken and Vegetable Won-tons in sweet and sour sauce and Spicy (Ma la) noodles.....all were very good! The service was excellent and we enjoyed the whole experience!!”
“My lovely wife and I have had the zeal of investing with Mr Aaron Soriano also analysing our investment is secure & safe. Aaron Soriano professionalism, Hard-works, understanding and compassion towards everything had us feeling like he was part of the family. He has an infectious bubbly personality that you just can't help but open up to him.”
“Wow! Perfect dining experience. Friendly staff, amazing food and drinks, fun atmosphere, I highly recommend this place! 🙏”
“Hands down, the best pho you’ll find in Seattle! This place is killing it! I’m incredibly lucky to live in the neighborhood and I’ve been coming here since the day they opened. We were one of their first guests in those early days and eat here so much the owners know me by name! If I were qualified to give food awards, this place would win my 2024 Best of Seattle award! 🥇👏🏻✨ Ps. They do not accept reservations - it’s first come first serve. Around 6pm, they go on a waitlist and a line starts to form outside. Don’t bother calling to get on the waitlist - they won’t even do that for me! You have to show up in person to get on the list.”
“This place is fantastic!!!! The ingredients are simple and pure and high quality and you can easily create your own broth that suits your particular tastes. We had a lot of fun mixing and matching and trying different things. We were lucky to have the manager serving us and it made it even more special. Highly recommend. We will be back for sure.”
“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. ❤️❤️”
“Grilling is n art Issian has mastered . This is why we- my family and friends- love this place.”
“Wonderful place where meat eaters and vegans can delight in a delicious meal. Great wine section and craft cocktails. Quaint wine shop to bring something home or scoop a gift for a friend on the way to the party. Be sure to try the butter pickles!”
“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.”
“We happened upon the Diller room on our way back from Pikes Place market … what an unexpected but fantastic stop! If you love bourbon (and we DO) this lovely historic bar is a must visit. The bottle selection is exceptional, and Shawn our bartender provided great pours and the most welcoming attitude despite how busy he was!! A true gem of an experience in the emerald city!”
“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.🥰”
“For over 20 years we have enjoyed every meal on the menu. They are the only restaurant that I know that make their own pastas, sauces, bread, and desserts. What a difference that makes. Everything is fresh tasting and satisfying. The meatballs are so light and tasty, eat them slowly to enjoy every bite. Not only are their pastas and pizzas delicious so are their appetizers. I love how they roast their eggplant and they serve it in an incredibly rich tomato sauce with Gorgonzola on the side. Their steak is cooked to perfection with an amazing sauce, a grilled pepper, onion, and their incredible handcut shoestring fries that are to die for!! Enjoy”
“Everything!! Well maybe not the licor de hierbas. I’m gallega, A Coruña, and I went to try it out anticipating it was not going to be good or authentic. I have to admit I was very wrong, I loved it! Highly recommend it and surely be back. Thank you Pilar for giving me the flavors of my childhood!”
“Delicious Pizza!! They grabbed me with the deep dish style pizza. i started following their Instagram so i could see what was going on. over the last few years i would order a pizza from them when in the area… a few special trips just because. Now just recently I started seeing Tavern Style pizza show up on the instagram. Started with photos from other places and then Windy City pie puts tavern on their menu! i wanted to try it since it became available and finally decided to make it part of my pre game for a saturday Mariners game. if thin crisp crust is not your thing then stick with the deep dish! it continues to amaze! If you like the thin crisp pizza try the tavern. it is not just any pizza it is special. the crust is thin uniform and crisp through out the pizza. the toppings are high quality and the sauce is something out of this world! I ate about half and took the rest home to share with my wife. thought i would be able to share our reheat but it didn’t get past the cold pizza phase… this has to be the very best cold pizza i can remember! So good we didn’t take the time to heat back up we just downed it! Check them out! really great pizza on 2 ends of the pizza spectrum!”
“Oh wow! How did I just find this place out? Its amazing!!! Everything was simply incredible. The food was perfect. Roti Jala very tasty as a starter. Then we ordered the chicken which was super crispy on the outside and juicy inside. We also ordered the laksa noodles which was heaven and we also got the ribs. Please order the coconut shake and the passion fruit green tea. Wow wow wow! We will be back for my birthday with our friends!”

“Best place to hangout on weekend! Awesome vibes, service is top-notch!
Grand Masala Pizza and Lychee sake are my favorites! Perfect gem in Ballard with good vibes!”
“Delicious ramen. We ordered #3 and the Malaysian fried chicken. The chicken was soft and tender. Yummy!”
“Delicious drinks and food, and the most wonderful owners. We absolutely loved it here, and felt so welcomed! Definitely must stop by, especially if seeing something next door at Kenyon Hall.”
“Best Chicken Tikka Marsala ever! Our new favorite Indian restaurant.”
“We fell in love with the food and staff at the West Seattle commissary (and miss them very much) but just recently visited their wonderful new storefront space on Greenwood in Shoreline! We're big fans of the Khao Man tofu and the Khao Man Gai (Hainan simmered chicken, like I had growing up in Hong Kong), and of course the Thai tea, and mango sticky rice. Patty just introduced us to the corn fritters which were amazing. We discovered it's the best place to detour to avoid I-5 traffic coming home from Bellingham. Don't miss this place for a delicious lunch or dinner!!”
“Hands down! Thanks Agelegil best lega Tibs ever. Best customer service, definitely will be back!!”
“Do yourself a favor — EAT AT LOTUS POND. (1) Carpool to Lotus Pond. The more the merrier. (2) Appetizers: You can’t lose. Everything is good. Me? I eat the Imperial Rolls. Get two orders of the egg rolls aka Imperial Rolls — one order won’t be enough for 2 people. Start there, you’ll be very happy. Also order the pork belly on the skewers please, No regrets. It’s very good. (3) Noodle Soups. Every bowl Is a winner. Pho is great, no question there. However, you absolutely must eat the SEAFOOD with special Red Noodle. (4) Early enough during the day, drink the Viet Ice Coffee. (5) Too bad they don’t have enough staff/hands to make the BANH CUON but they make up for it in many ways. Try everything on the menu. I’m not a relative. I don’t get money or fame for recommending Lotus Pond. I just know authentic good food when I see and eat it. Try it. You will leave with a full, joyous stomach … you will be very satisfied. Happy eating!”
“this place is awesome. good food, good drinks, good service. dang, Seattle , you got some good food.”
“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.”
“Great Service! Was welcomed immediately by bartender Dawn. Very charming and excellent explaining oyster selections. She kept on top of my orders. The happy hour choice of oyster was beyond what I expected! Big, ytasty. I’m a very picky oyster-ess! St. Louis, Mo. is not known for seafood AT ALL. Expensive and just “blah.” Definitely coming back and recommending to oyster loving friends!”
“We hosted a private event at Tivoli and would highly recommend it to folks looking for a casual, fun atmosphere to celebrate. The planning process was very easy and relaxed. Ed, Cassie, and the team were very communicative and made themselves available for all the questions we had. Our event was lovely - all the guests had a great time, and the food was amazing. We were very well taken care of and had a ton of fun.”
“Everything was good, But this restaurant needs a good cleaning and dusting, vent returns are filthy and the dead animals are covered with dust! Please clean!!!”
“Amazing service and food! You won’t be disappointed. I can’t believe I haven’t noticed this place around definitely one of my favorite finds. I will be coming back! 😁”
“excellent sushi! everything was fresh and delicious! highly recommend checking them out!”
“It is always a challenge for me to eat Asian food of any type, as I cannot eat any soy sauce. We went to this restaurant on Wednesday evening and back again on Friday for lunch. To say they worked with us on my allergy would be an understatement. The staff went above and beyond to make sure I had amazing food and a wonderful experience! Tye (sp) took care of us on the first visit. You would be hard pressed to find a better server. Each recommendation given turned out to be wonderful. I just cannot say enough good things about this place. Please go check them out! You will not be disappointed.”

“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.”
“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.”
“Our first time visiting. Our server, Mason was attentive, funny, knowledgeable and helped us choose the best appetizers and entrees!! The other servers did not seem as attentive. Highly recommend this restaurant, not only because of the food but because of the service!”

“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.”
“A perfect anniversary dinner! Wow
My wife rated her manhattan as excellent and my draft was also very fine. Then things got even better. We opted for the Big Dinner as it was our first time here and it provides a nice assortment. Perfect choice and fabulous flavors. Highly recommended. In fact it was probably better than almost any meal we’ve had anyplace in Greece. Very lively atmosphere but not for a quiet intimate conversation. We’re already looking forward to going back and trying new things. Enjoy!”
“Traci and I had a wonderful stay at the Fairmont Olympic and truly enjoyed our dinner at George. We ordered the tomahawk ribeye, and it was fantastic—one of my favorite cuts of steak. The food was excellent, and our waitress provided outstanding, attentive service throughout the evening. She made the experience fun and welcoming, and the combination of a great meal, excellent service, and beautiful setting made for a memorable night in Seattle. 🥩🍷”
“I've never seen EMPLOYEES be able to get away with attacking a man on the "PUBLIC SIDEWALK" for video taping, however I hope your business has suffered for their actions! Where was the manager and why did he/she allow those "THUGS" to act like unprofessional jerks! It's a good thing I wasn't there, things would've gotten real bad, real quick! Every employee on duty that day should have been ARRESTED and FIRED! I hope it was worth it!”
“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!”

“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.”
“As someone whose job it is to go to local game stores, there is something truly special about U Wine Bar.
Excellent beverages, wonderful community, fantastic service from both Sarah and Elijah all come together for an extremely positive experience.
The teams continued effort to produce a safe and welcoming environment (including PoCs and LGBTQ+) is greatly appreciated and I'm glad I had the opportunity to come by!
Looking forward to my next trip here. And good luck to their future!”
“This place is fantastic!!!! The ingredients are simple and pure and high quality and you can easily create your own broth that suits your particular tastes. We had a lot of fun mixing and matching and trying different things. We were lucky to have the manager serving us and it made it even more special. Highly recommend. We will be back for sure.”
“I can’t believe I’ve lived so close to this place and haven’t tried it until now because wow have I been missing out! The food is to die for. I ordered the savory (chicken and waffles) and devoured it before I could even take a picture. Everything was cooked to perfection, and was a great balance of sweet to spicy and so flavorful. What made it even more special is the owner who made the experience very personal throughout our service. Important to note it is a small place so you may end up having to wait for a table but, trust me, it’d be worth the wait.”
“The food is decent not the best and not the worst and the service is great the people who work at this restaurant are amazing people. The atmosphere is great as well it has good outside and indoor seating and public restrooms that are always clean. It can be kind of cramped with a lot of people at times.”
