Best Restaurants
“We had an above and beyond experience at Il Nido. They have a parking lot which makes the transition there so much easier. We went a little hard, and got the focaccia, 2 pastas, the ribeye, polenta and olive oil cake. Every single dish was divine! Our waitress recommended the truffle butter with bread, and bone marrow butter on the ribeye. She also recommended having the polenta come out with the ribeye. She was so right! The interior of the restaurant is darling the service was incredible! This is our new favorite spot!”
“Always amazing! The atmosphere, the service, the food. My favorite place in the area.”
“This is one of Seattle’s best Italian restaurants. You won’t be disappointed.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“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!”
“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!”

“Great hot dogs and hamburgers! Will definitely put this place in the rotation.”
“Absolutely delicious! Everything was fresh, great atmosphere and music! Definitely have to check out everything on the walls. Their burgers are amazing and their Mac & Cheese is to die for.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”

“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!”
“It's a super nice restaurant with a good menu and lovely ambience The highlight for us was Chris the waiter. - he was professional and so engaging and very knowledgable about wine and recommended us to go on a great trip . So good we went back a second time”

“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.”
“Lovely place. The food was okay but not spectacular. We had several dishes. Some were better than others. I love the octopus!. The dates were good, however they should have put the feta inside the dates as well because otherwise they were a little too sweet. Would return because they do change the menu all the time.”
“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. 💕💕😋”
“We had an amazing dinner at a specialty pizza restaurant in Seattle named Sunny Hill. It’s a little hole in the wall that has the best Pizza and appetizers in Washington. If you’re ever in the area, make sure to check it out. It was so good to be with the family and finish up some details for today’s big event.”
“It's a super nice restaurant with a good menu and lovely ambience The highlight for us was Chris the waiter. - he was professional and so engaging and very knowledgable about wine and recommended us to go on a great trip . So good we went back a second time”
“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!”
“This was the best dining experience EVER!! The chef and cook staff are amazing. It’s a small kitchen but what they create together is wicked good. No words are had to describe!! If you can get in, do yourself a favor and go💜”
24 Hour Restaurants
“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.”
“Brand new cafeteria in the new Behavioral Health building also includes a great outside sitting area. I love their food. Their main menu food is great and like home made. They have a grill with burgers and fries and a daily special by chef Anthony, his food is amazing.”
“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! 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛”
“Obviously as always Starbucks drinks are great and delicious. The only problem i faced was when I went in the night they only allow drive thru access and I was walking. I went through the drive through anyway and they refused to take my order. This I somewhat understand but still feel that this could have been better resolved. Just remember that after around 8pm it’s only drive thru. But then i went again the next morning as it’s right next to my hotel and loved the drinks.”
“I brought a friend with me from out of town to visit this cat cafe- neither of us had been before. The staff were very kind and it was clear how much love is put in to the care and well being of the kitties. I’d recommend coming here, they have cute stickers and cat toys and other merch as well! Bring a few friends, I think the experience would be best with a slightly bigger group of friends (maybe 4-5) just so you have more people you know in the room with you (meaning, fewer strangers in the room) since they do cap the number of people that can be in the room at a time (for the kitties safety and wellbeing!).
Parking: May be difficult to find a spot really close, will likely have to park a couple blocks out on the street. Parking was cheap, about 5$ for just over an hour. It wasn’t TERRIBLE, but give yourself some extra time and grace to find a spot.”
“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?? 😁”

“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Beautiful day to side outside. Great pizza overall with awesome toppings, decent crust. Standout was the koobideh. Absolutely fantastic and that parsley salad was so fresh! Grilled tomato was so tasty. Beef and lamb gyro plate was amazing too. I can’t wait to eat that koobideh again!”
“I don't have great pictures of it but this banh mi is packed! It might costs a little more than the delis in Little Saigon. But it's easily more filling and a better quality. I got the classic with the deli cold cuts, pate, veggies, and pork floss. How neat. Never had pork floss with them before. Not sure if there was cilantro but definitely would have enjoyed it.
I couldn't finish it in one sitting and ate half before work. And the other half at work.
Would definitely come here again.”
“We used Buddha Brudda catering for our wedding at Treehouse Point in July 2025. Not only were Drea and the entire team incredibly easy to work with leading up to the day, but the food was FANTASTIC, and the whole dinner service and bartending staff were so kind and accommodating the day of.
We worked with Drea to customize a menu that fit our needs, which included family-style service instead of buffet, which worked beautifully for our small group of 20 guests. We also opted for pre-dinner appetizers (charcuterie cones, egg rolls, etc) and late-night snacks (sliders, mac salad cups) for our overnight guests, which everyone LOVED!!
Keep in mind they do not do linens, plates/cutlery (beyond bamboo/plastic) or glassware, but were extremely accommodating by picking up/dropping off our rental order from a nearby events company. It was a HUGE help and one less thing for us to arrange.
Our guests absolutely loved the food - all of the appetizers, dinner, late night snacks, and on-the-fly sangria the bartender made with wine/tea/lemonade was fantastic.
I highly recommend Buddha Brudda for your catering needs if you want a relaxed, yummy, yet elegant dining 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 !!!”
“Sat for 25 minutes without any server acknowledging (giving a menu, smiling, nothing) our table of 5 right in the middle of the bar. Very rude and could have been a very nice tip. Also, if you waited at the bar for a drink the bartender told you to take a seat at a table and wait for a server...ha! Ya right!”

Fine Dining
“Sushi Kashiba will provide you a memorable meal with the freshest fish. The chef are amazing of selecting and preparing amazing nigri sushi with wonderful hot dishes for your enjoyment. The omakasa is a must while a nice glass of sake or wine will pair well with your meal. Highly recommend and will be going back”
“I’ve had one of the best fine dining experiences in Seattle here at Copine, even better than Canlis.
Seattle cuts loose to a lot of fine dining experiences, especially a lot of the restaurants here do not pay attention to detail, or service usually comes subpar. I would say Copine really focuses on the basics of making an experience for you, so it becomes a meaningful experience.
First and foremost, they have a great understanding of French cuisine. Everything tastes very delicate and well thought out. I definitely loved the steak and their meat dishes. I think the chef has way better understanding of cooking meat rather than seafood, so as someone who loves meat, this was an enjoyable meal.
How can I forget about their service! Their staff was thoroughly trained and very knowledgeable. I really loved all the wine pairings and hearing the thoughts behind. Service was above and beyond, and everyone was so kind to make my birthday dinner something special.
There are 2 fine dining restaurants I would recommend from now on: Copine and Cafe Juanita.”
“❤️🔥🍣🐟❤️🔥My husband and I are sushi lovers through and through, definitely team seafood over meat!
Our omakase experience at Suzuki was absolutely incredible. Of course, the food was amazing, but what made it truly special was the entire experience, from the service to the atmosphere.
Everyone who served us, including the chefs, was so kind, warm, and genuinely happy to be there. You could really feel the positive energy and strong bond among the staff, which made the whole dining experience even more enjoyable.
Each dish was beautifully presented and came with thoughtful explanations, adding so much depth to the meal. It was a feast not just for the taste buds, but also for the eyes and ears. The ambiance was simply perfect.
Without a doubt, it was the best birthday dinner I’ve ever had.
Thank you😍❣️❣️”
“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.”
“Chef is nice and friendly. Sushi-wise I was hoping for something more, it started really well and 4 nigiri are high lights and impressed me, the yozi scallop one brings you right into summer, and the one wrapped in clear Hokkaido seaweed feels like a fresh bite of ocean, apple wood smoked salmon has the perfect balance of smokiness. Oysters nigiri is really fresh and well done.
However, it didn’t go uphill as omakase usually do where next nigiri tastes even better, towards the second half of course some nigiri feels unbalanced, or even too salty because of overpowering source, hand roll is one of them.. desert didn’t wow me unfortunately.
Overall good experience but I was really hoping it could be beyond just good.”
“My friend & I were just walking around Seattle (putting our steps in) and randomly or spontaneously decided to walk in Lark on a Saturday without a reservation.
We weren’t positive that we would get a table and we were also embarrassingly underdressed for an upscale restaurant…
They were so warm and welcoming and sat us at the bar.
Service was kind, professional, accommodating, attentive (definitely enhanced our dining experience).
Food was tasty, well prepared, dessert was delicious, drinks were yum:).
The bartender was wonderful helping my friend select the type of drink he wanted.
Most of all, the ambiance was enjoyable (great selection of music).
It was an amazing experience overall.
Thank you team lark :))”
“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.”

Cheap Eats
“So creative, fresh, and delicious! This is one of my favorite restaurants in Seattle. I’ve been here since they opened, and their menu is always changing as they refine their dishes and grow. The owner is also really nice.
Everything here is tasty, but my favorite is their signature dish, Pak Mor Yuan, which is very similar to Vietnamese bánh cuốn. I saw a reel of them making it fresh and it is no wonder that it is so tasty.
I also like Guay Tiew Lohd, which uses similar rice noodles/paper.”
“I can confidently say this is not only the best burger in Seattle but the best burger I’ve ever had. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming and their food lives up to every expectation and more. The food comes out to you quick and they take the time to converse with their customers. The smash burgers are perfectly made and a fully commit to the messy nature of sandwiches without becoming soggy. They understand what they are selling and have streamlined it so well that it creates for the perfect experience. Wherever this truck sits is a destination spot if you ever visit the city.”
“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!”
“Scrumptious food! Fresh ingredients, well prepared without too much oil. They were super busy when I arrived, and my food was still prepared quickly. Everything is Halal, so you know that the animals were treated humanely. There are also vegan options. Everything was divine, I was happily surprised to find a new twist on some of my favorites. Also, the place is really clean.”
“I cannot say enough amazing things about this place! It was recommended to me from a co- worker back at home. The attention to detail throughout was incredible.
The only negative comment would have is that when I ordered the El Gury the robe on the drink was a little dirty. While drink and presentation were a hit. Knowing my drink was wrapped in a stained koozie was a little meh. 🫤 I’m sure this gets used a lot. It didn’t take away from the experience. Just something I noted.
We will definitely come back. We LOVED it.”
“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.”
“We happened to come across this spot last night and caught dinner and the show. Food was great, drinks were strong and the show was much fun! This cast killed it!”

“One of the few truly tasty places in Seattle. The smell first caught my attention, and the food did not disappoint when I went in. It is a spicy flavor explosion. With this right next to my light rail stop, I worry I will soon be broke and fat.”
“Tried this very special “takeout only omakase sushi box”, Edomae style ( use cured/aged fish, and red vinegar seasoning in rice).

“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!”
“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 was a little unsure of the location but once inside, it's extremely nice and a place I wish was in my neighborhood. The horseradish and roast beef is probably the best sandwich I've had in a year and the bacon chicken wrap wasn't quite as good but till very tasty. Good tap list as well.”
“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.🥰”
“Stateside was simply fun and excellent. A nice selection of cocktails, including a couple of nice NA cocktails. The food was innovative and delicious. We had the ribs, the sticky rice balls, and the trout. It was all excellent and and well presented. We will definitely go again our next time in Seattle!”
“Fantastic steak house with family for a very special occasion!!”
“What a wonderful experience! Super friendly staff and the Three Milk Cuban Flan was AMAZING.”
“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.”
“Great food and great staff. Always delicious beers and cocktails. Great plant based options.”
“Lovely place. The food was okay but not spectacular. We had several dishes. Some were better than others. I love the octopus!. The dates were good, however they should have put the feta inside the dates as well because otherwise they were a little too sweet. Would return because they do change the menu all the time.”
“I recently tried Qiao Lin and went with the Golden Cow Platter along with a few other meat options. One important tip — don’t underestimate how much meat you’re getting! The portions are definitely generous, so I’d recommend ordering a little at first before piling on extras, or you might end up with more than you can finish.
The quality of the meat was solid — fresh and flavorful — and the dipping sauces complemented everything well. There are other snack/appetizers too near the sauce bar that you must try!
Overall, had a fun experience and would come back.”
“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.”
“Tried out Sakana on a warm Friday evening and had a nice dinner! I want to highlight the excellent service and large food menu - both were greatly appreciated. Everything we received ranged from good to great, although I didn't adore my sushi deluxe order of nigiri. The shrimp tempura were especially good and I always love to see hand rolls available. It was pretty busy by the time we left so I'd recommend making reservations.”
“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!!”
“I love their tonkatsu. I’m from Korea and every time I try tonkatsu in America, I’m not satisfied because they are just not authentic. But this place, I like that they cook pork a bit pink inside, which is very common and delicious way to eat tonkatsu in Japan/Korea. Don’t worry about safety, it’s just so good, juicy and tender!”
“This is hands down my favorite place for a date night with my wife. It is perfect- the best charcuterie in Seattle, delicious glasses of wine, and great ambiance”
“Great food and friendly service. Love that all seafood options are sustainably-sourced!”
“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!!!”
“This was a real treat. I felt utterly pampered and loved every second. Super fresh, local or foraged ingredients, treated with love and care. Beautiful restaurant, relaxing vibes, incredibly clean kit”
“The cocktails I had were amazing. Staff was awesome and very generous.”

“Nell’s is by far a gem of the Northwest. Their food and service have always been amazing and we just found their quarantine take out is no different. It’s one of those all time favorites where you have fun just reading the menu and then are giddy waiting for your meal. A must try venue that we are grateful to have in Greenlake!”
“This was, without a doubt, the best sushi I have ever had in my life. I would go here every day of my life if I could.”
“I have been there multiple times all of which have been excellent. Although I have a  favorite, which is the pepperoni pizza, there is not one choice I wouldn't try because of the quality of food.”
“Such a fun place to grab a craft cocktail and some pho. The drinks were very unique and the pho was surprisingly very good. We also tried the Tofu Dip and the spring rolls. The dip was delicious but very rich and the spring rolls were very fresh. We definitely ordered too much food but it was delicious and a fun experience.”
“Grilling is n art Issian has mastered . This is why we- my family and friends- love this place.”
“Love the Jazz vibes, the artwork, and the people. Solid and creative pizzas, but the shining star is their bartender/mixologist. Unpretentious, but maybe the best cocktails in a multiple mile radius. Would definitely come back again for the mixed drinks.”
“Very cool bar near Greenwood with delicious drinks. The bartenders are absolutely amazing and keep the vibes up in the already neat atmosphere. They went above and beyond to make each drink special. Comfy seats, clean bathroom, and various snack options. It is a small venue so better for groups of 4 or less.”

We started our meal with a trio of appetizers that were all absolutely delicious. The FLORA BAKEHOUSE GOUGERES were cheesy and satisfying, the BURRATA & STONE FRUIT was a refreshing combination of flavors, and the MEDITERRANEAN SPREADS were a flavorful medley of ingredients. For our main course, we couldn't resist the SUBSTANTIAL menu items. The KIMCHI BLACK BEAN ALMOND BURGER was a flavorful and hearty option, but our favorite was the FRIED TRUMPET MUSHROOM & POTATO WAFFLE. This unique and satisfying dish was topped with walla walla onion rings, lime crema, herb butter, and hot agave. To complement our meal, we enjoyed a variety of refreshing drinks. The ROSEMARY LEMONADE, BLUEBERRY LAVENDER FIZZ, CHERRY FIVE SPICE FIZZ, and BLACKBERRY TANGERINE NOG were all delicious and perfectly balanced. We couldn't resist indulging in dessert, and the ETON MESS and COLLINS FAMILY ORCHARDS PEACH SHORTCAKE were both absolutely heavenly. The service at Cafe Flora is impeccable. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, ensuring that every guest has a memorable dining experience. Overall, Cafe Flora is a fantastic restaurant that offers a delicious and unforgettable dining experience. With its stunning ambiance, creative menu, and exceptional service, it's no wonder why it's so popular among locals and visitors alike.”
“Had a nice time at Tivoli. We decided to visit while waiting for an event nearby and tried several appetizers. Everything was definitely solid, although I thought it was a bit overpriced for what you get. Drinks were tasty and vibes relaxing however.”
“lIncredible craft cocktails and delicious food (don't forget to try the cake!) But the attention to detail in the beautiful wood design of the bar and fixtures, the decor, and the down-to-earth staff make this my favorite spot in the city!”
“for me, Rays is my favorite restaurant ever. everything is at the top of perfection”
“Been going here since 1994 and it’s my FAVORITE place to dine in Seattle🩷”
“Wow! Perfect dining experience. Friendly staff, amazing food and drinks, fun atmosphere, I highly recommend this place! 🙏”
“2 years ago due to health I became a pescatarian and look for quality vegetarian, vegan options. Of the many things I miss at the top of the list was a good pepperoni pizza. I have tried all vegetarian, vegan versions. Last night my son and daughter-in-law brought me to MOTO. I ordered the vegan pepperoni pizza. The first bite made me literally want to cry. This was the best pepperoni pizza of ANY kind I have eaten in my considerably long life! Thank you Lee, Nancy, and the entire MOTO crew! I cannot possibly provide a high enough recommendation, this is the alpha and omega of pizza!”
“Great food and drinks plus excellent service… What’s not to like? 🥳”
“❤️🔥🍣🐟❤️🔥My husband and I are sushi lovers through and through, definitely team seafood over meat!
Our omakase experience at Suzuki was absolutely incredible. Of course, the food was amazing, but what made it truly special was the entire experience, from the service to the atmosphere.
Everyone who served us, including the chefs, was so kind, warm, and genuinely happy to be there. You could really feel the positive energy and strong bond among the staff, which made the whole dining experience even more enjoyable.
Each dish was beautifully presented and came with thoughtful explanations, adding so much depth to the meal. It was a feast not just for the taste buds, but also for the eyes and ears. The ambiance was simply perfect.
Without a doubt, it was the best birthday dinner I’ve ever had.
Thank you😍❣️❣️”
“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.”
“Fantastic whiskey selection, but my gin cocktail was great and the Papas Pilar barrel selection rum was caramel and so smooth. Had a bunch of tasty vegetarian collections - really good quality. Will absolutely be back.”
“This place is so good, food and drinks are on point! Definitely recommend for a romantic couple or a get together with friends.”
“Family run (I think) and feel restaurant with good food and did not leave hungry. Total casual and easy to feel welcome. Home made food and daily specials. I got the feeling you could ask for alterations to meals and they would accommodate. Chef came out to make sure all was good and definitely knew the regulars. He treated everyone as a regular. Would recommend and will go back.”
“Always amazing food and the bartender can make anything you want perfectly. It’s my go-to spot for a casual but fancy dinner.”
“Ordered the non vegetarian meal for 2 to go and we were blown away. Tons of really good food, we've got enough food left over for lunch and dinner tomorrow. To top it off, everything was delicious!”
“Best restaurant in the greater seattle area, friendly service and great food!!!”
“We're so glad a place opened up in Ballard serving reasonably priced sushi. The fish is super fresh, and the rolls are creative and delicious. There is also a good amount of hot food options as well.”
“Enjoyed the menu’s fresh ingredients, traditional yet innovative twists. Housemade pastas were the stars. Very good wine list and reasonably priced.”
“We stopped by and ordered the carnitas fries and crab rangoons—both were seriously delicious. The fries were loaded and flavorful without being overly greasy, and the crab rangoons had that perfect crispy bite with a rich, creamy filling. You can tell they use quality ingredients and really care about what they’re serving.
The owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming—it felt like visiting a local spot where people actually care about their customers. Their energy really set the tone and made the experience even better.
We didn’t try the drinks this time, but they looked super creative and well put together—definitely coming back to try those. Plus, the location is perfect for enjoying a sunny Seattle day. Great food, great people, and a relaxed, fun vibe. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Amazing service, our Server Marcos Augusto was super ⭐️‼️‼️‼️ the food was exquisitely delicious and had great presentation. Love us some Petra‼️😋”
“This is a great local restaurant with all the good feelings that go with,,,,and has the plus of truly interesting, tasty, well prepared and well served food.
I've been several times and everything tried on the menu is excellent.
Good for them for getting the NYT accolades, and the team is hustling even more with the increased flow.
Keep it up!”

“service was very extremely welcoming and prompt. My first time here and I was craving Chinese food - I Ordered takeout which was promptly delivered hot in compostable and biodegradable takeout containers. No chopsticks or napkins offered. I ordered the egg rolls and prawn dumplings. I thought my appetizers lacked flavor; I couldn’t taste any prawns or the pork. I was so sad, but I would go back and try something else one more time….”
“The service is absolutely terrible. I would give it a negative 10 if I could. I bought two steamed buns which can perfectly fit into a paper bag. The staff put them in a plastic box without asking me so she can charge me the box fee. I told her I do not need a box and please put them in a paper bag. The staff yelled at me "Don't ever come back again!!!" It is like robbery in plain day light. They force you to purchase the plastic box you do not need. I noticed they used to have plastic plates for dining ins, but now they got rid of all the plastic plates so customers who eat in have no option but to buy their plastic boxes. This is forced sale. How Sneaky! The staff are always yelling at you and extremely rude. They are incapble of speaking normally. Definitely avoid this place.”
“Tony’s Bakery is my new go to place. A fun and happy place one stop shopping for your appetite. We were having a birthday party and this is what I ordered: Decorated chocolate fillings cake wings(fish sauce glazed vegetarian fried spring rolls shrimp fried rice fresh shrimp rolls chicken pan fried noodles Everything was delicious and the owner made sure everything was perfect! Thank you I will be back again and again and again!”
“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 love the food here, but on delivery orders, they have messed up twice now on mine! Am supposed to get refund, so will see in a couple of days! Driver couldn’t check on my order as they had stapled the bag shut! Was sur prized when I opened the bag a found two large containers of soup and no almond fried chicken and gravy with almonds or even the extra gravy I’d requested! At times like this, wish I still had my car so could have gone back myself to get the rest of my order! Is hard when you’re disabled!”
“I’ve lived on Alki since 1989. I’ve seen many restaurants come and go from this location. Lotus on the Beach is the best of them all. The ability to pick from a variety of Vietnamese and Thai dishes is its strength. The owner and staff welcome any and all critiques of the food and service.”
“We are smitten with the oxtail Khao Soi but lately have been opting for the newer Wagyu (both A5 & Japanese are to die for!) I wish they were open on Mondays - that's when I have the worst craving for Khao Soi! My brother likes the tenderloin or braised beef. We've tried all of them except for goat... but that's because we are so satisfied and craving the Oxtail and the wagyu!! Also there is a very tasty deconstructed Passion Fruit pie with i think a shortbread component and a torched meringue star topping - so soooo good! You MUST try Ginger & Scallion - you won't be sorry!!! I am trying to convince them to open a location closer to the Lynnwood/Lake Forest Park area where I live/work! I'd go every day....”

“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.”
“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!”
“This is a great place to eat and have fun in Seattle. We went to dinner and Cesar was our waiter. He took the time to explain every option including new wine offerings. We had oysters from the pacific coast. They were great. We tried the clam chowder, blue cheese salad, and seafood sampler. We watched the manager Edward work his tail off making sure everyone had a great time.”
“Wonderful Greek food. We ordered 4 meze to start - octopus, squid, lamb dumplings and sauteed mushrooms. Everything was delicious, but the mushrooms with ouzo stood out. They're a don't miss. After, the guys ordered lamb with ouzo (women were full). When we tasted the items, there was always a Wow. Terrific service and recommendations from our server.”
“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”

“Every year treat ourselves to a kaiseki or omakase for our anniversary, and out of all of the places that we’ve tried so far in Seattle, this one is easily one of the best! The presentation for each course is stunning, every dish was thoughtfully prepared, and the quality is top notch. I’d say it’s very worth the price. Hope they get the recognition they deserve and their business continues to thrive 😊💯”
“What a gem! As you enter this place, the decor is inviting and modern. The owners are very friendly. The fusion Korean food doesn't compromise the genuine taste of Korean food and this coming from a very picky person when it comes to korean food. The portion is huge. The bulgogi burrito is large enough for 2 people to share. We didn't order the burgers but I heard that the owners specialize in burgers. Next time I'm definitely going to try the burgers!”
“Walked by the night before and didn't have time to pop in after work, but took note of the cool looking new spot in GTown. Checked out the menu and my mind (and belly) wouldn't allow me to go another day without experiencing the enoki fritters, so a late lunch ensued with fritters and street corn today. Ridiculously tasty, will be back with friends and family to try the rest of the menu and I'm sure you'll be serving my coworkers (repeatedly) as well. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Richards BBQ is indeed too good!
Richard himself warmheartedly greeted me and explained the available options for ordering my meal.
I tried the delicious chopped brisket, mac n’ cheese and collard greens plus the honey cornbread.
Everything was amazing and the chopped brisket was moist, tender and had just the right hint of smoke flavor!
If you love barbecue, stop on by and give it a try…They do catering too!”
“As a Chicagoan, their Midwest hospitality and delicious food encapsulates the spirit of childhood pizza parties! We felt so taken care of and had so many delicious pizzas. So fricking incredible. Highly recommend!!!”
“Are you KIDDING ME???!! This is the best (& tiniest) little place in all of Pikes place market center. Serena (owner) has absolutely killed it with this place. She was so knowledgeable about all things pastry baking, and answered my (mannnny) questions about each individual pastry helping me to pick the perfect one for my taste buds. She was so delightful and seriously put the cherry on top of my Seattle trip. A lot of the other shops we stopped by seemed annoyed with tourists and me asking questions but she was genuinely was excited to serve us. The wild part is, she did all of this a couple minutes after close bc I didn’t realize they were closed as I approached the counter. She could have easily turned me away but instead she was so inviting and spent a fair amount of time with me making the experience memorable. I will be SURE to visit her again my next stop to Pikes place market and shout from the rooftops : ANYONE WHO VISITS SEATTLE, GO SEE / SUPPORT SERENA AT HER LITTLE PASTRY SHOP!
Also : note…
These pastries are REAL, AUTHENTIC, QUALITY, like hand made pastries. You can taste the love and labor. Not mass produced and generic quality like some of the other shops we purchased pastries from. I want a refund from all those shops so I can go back and spend it alllll on Pufftown.
Plz take my word for it and go try one of these unique, decadent combinations.”
“Customer Service, a great selection of food, the casual layback atmostphere, enjoy the food, don’t rush. Have a good wine selection so step outside of the box and try a wine you never had before, the waiter can suggest. The prices are good, but remember the serving are large, you will not leave empty. This is a must place to go, you will enjoy it, and will come back.”
“The food was just amazing! and the service? 5 star from Maki! She's amazing!”
