“Great dog friendly patio and great food for the price. Good drinks. Right on the hipster edge of being a dive bar“

“I stumbled across this super cool place on a friends visit. Now I’m enamored! Great vibes. Great food. Great mimosas. Great French press!“

“Fun atmosphere and delicious food!“

“Noir show on Feb 16 was by far one of the best shows I’ve been to! The entertainment was amazing and the food and drinks were spot on! Definitely will be back!!“

“My absolutely favorite bar in West Seattle. Amazing atmosphere but please hire nicer people as bartenders, people who actually have customer service skills. Often get one bartender who is very rude and unpersonable, seems to hate her job. 💔“

“I've visited GLC three times now-- twice as a pair and another time in a group of four. All three visits have included food and drinks, though I seem to have eaten faster than I could take a photo. I didn't hear any gripes from the omnivores in my group-- perhaps they knew where they were! The vibe for lunch and early dinner is very chill while the space itself has great punk spirit. I'll definitely be back for more sandwiches, beverages, and don't forget the potato salad.“

“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.“

“AMAZING Spot to come grab drinks“

“Excellent food and service“

“The restaurant was excellent. The food was delicious and the drinks were even better. The selection of whiskeys they had was unlike anything I've ever seen. Their specialty cocktails were superb. The location is right at the entry of the Public Market Center. There were 4 of us at the table and we all shared the Baked Fontina appetizer, Hanger Steak, and Fried Pork Shank. The portions were so big that between the four of us, we couldn't finish the food at the table. The restaurant was a little loud but there were 3 tables of more than 8 people in there so we contributed the noise to that. The place is small but doesn't feel cramped. If you like good drinks or good food, this place should be on your list of places to eat in Seattle.“

“The Chicken Tacos were perfect! Great place to grab a coffee or smoothie in the morn, then get a sandwich for lunch. when you get off, work go back and have a quick dinner with a drink! they have parking!! (tip your servers, they deserve it). Great prices & convenient if you work, play or live in the area.“

“love sitting on the patio on a warm day and enjoying a cold delicious cocktail. The wings are tasty, the sunday cheesesteak is dynamite. they serve a terrific smoked old fashioned and many drinks on the cocktail list are spectacular. throw in friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere and you’re all set! love this place.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Hip underground watering hole with lots of 70s decor“

“This is the loveliest little place that despite its delicious menu and incredible cocktails still feels kind of unknown. Even friends that have lived in WSea for years haven’t heard of its existence. Even though I’d like to keep it that way, I’d much rather have it succeed and never go away.

Also, got to meet one of the owners tonight, super nice guy with very kind friends. The bathroom even has VIP club-style amenities like toothpicks, mints and lotion. We ❤️ Locöl.“

“Rouge is easily one of the best craft cocktail bars on the Eastside. Every visit is a standout experience, thanks to Zeke and his talented team. The mixology here is on another level—each drink is crafted with creativity and precision, using high-quality ingredients and unique flavor combinations. The atmosphere is the perfect blend of laid-back and upscale, making it great for a night out with friends or a cozy date. If you’re into expertly made cocktails and a welcoming vibe, Rouge is a must-visit.“

“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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Highly recommend! The buffalo chicken salad was the best salad I’ve had in a long time.“

“great bar! came here out of convenience & glad we did. ordered the prizefighter, white claw & fries. the fries are to die for & the sauce has an amazing zing. 10/10, 5 stars!“

“Cool spot, Old speak easy feel“

“I wanted to really love Marina Mercantile. Made a Mother's Day Tea reservation. Our initial arrival was not welcoming and I was asked twice if I had a reservation. My mom, my daughter, and I waited an hour for our tray of treats. We were last to be served. People that arrived after us were served before us. We are the only minorities in the shop. It felt racist sadly or their service was extremely slow. The food was ok not the freshest tasting for a special Mother's Day event. Prepaid $200 with fixed gratitude and service charge. 🫤“

“5 Stars – A nostalgic treat!
This place is absolutely adorable with a fun retro vibe! We ordered the toasted marshmallow sundae and it was SO good — rich chocolate sauce, creamy vanilla ice cream, and perfectly torched marshmallows on top. Sweet, gooey, and indulgent in the best way!

Great spot to treat yourself after exploring Pike Place. Will definitely come back to try their floats next time!“

“I love this place. If you love wrestling this is the place for you. A lot of fellow fans to hang out with. The food is pretty good and the mixed drinks are great. The staff know their stuff and are friendly. I highly recommend it especially if you love pro wrestling.“

“The best Italian food in Seattle. The focaccia is probably the best bread I’ve ever had. The heirloom tomato and nectarine marinara is a revelation. I can’t wait to go back.“

“Service was awesome… food was great . Definitely will recommend.. highly recommend the Pier 88 combo“

“I love Noi Thai Cuisine with all of my heart. The environment is very cozy and relaxing. I enjoy the candle lit dark ambiance, and the decor is great! I usually eat alone there but it feels like visiting family. Today I tried the chicken satay and it was simply incredible. My favorite part about this restaurant is the Tom Kha soup. I think about their soup when I am thousands of miles away. I think about it too much. It’s even been in my dreams. Every time I land at the Seattle airport, I am hurrying as fast as I can to the light rail so I can get to Noi Thai Cuisine for my favorite soup. Idk what they do to it…but no other Tom Kha soup will ever compare. If I could eat one thing for the rest of my life, it would be Noi Thai Cuisines Tom Kha soup. I want to start trying more of their menu, but I am addicted to their Tom Kha soup. The staff is always so friendly, attentive, and kind. I will continue to dine here as much as possible…forever. Thank you for filling me with so much joy!!!! I definitely reccommend Noi Thai Cuisine to everyone, they won’t let you down. I can’t give them five stars…..because they deserve five million stars. ;)“

“Excellent breakfast. I had the corned beef hash, which I would recommend.“

“Such good stew!!!! I'm so happy with my dinner.“

“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!“

“We LOVE Jack's! Great bbq, wonderful service, and tasty beverages! We had delicious steaks on 4/30 and they were AMAZING!! Colon's service was fabulous, and our entire experience was lovely. Thanks Jack's!!“

“Oak was the epitome of a great neighborhood pub with great choices for food, wine and beer. Although we we are not Vegan, we noted the wide selection of Vegan options on the menu. The beer and wine selections while limited were carefully selected and reasonably priced as was the food. The ambiance was great and the restaurant quiet enough to easily have a conversation. The service was excellent. Overall a great place to come back to again and again.“

“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.“

“Everything was delicious! We will definitely be recommending Circa to all of our friends.“

“What a fun place with the camping motif and friendly staff too. While we liked the food, we found a number of things fried and we try to steer clear of fried. In fairness, we did not try an entree, but apps and they were all good, especially the cauliflower, but the fried aspect would point us to the entrees next time. I“

“Fantastic old fashion, I just wanted to go hide in a dark corner and enjoy a drink. This place was more than I was expecting. Dark dark dark room with dim candle like lights and wicked sick music that just sets the vibe. The bartender is leaving me be vibing with what appears regulars but I can see she is still looking over the make sure I'm not waiting. Reminds me of my fav pub back at home.“

“I first heard about Kanishka's Des Moines location through a friend who saw somebody raving about it in a Seattle foodies group here on FB. My friend and I went to check it out and, well, it's my new favorite restaurant. I've been here 3 times and Door Dashed it once in the past month. The food every time has been absolutely fantastic, and the portion size are quite generous. The appetizers are almost entree-sized; the first time I went there with a friend, we filled up on appetizers and had to get our entrees to go. Dish recommendations: Chicken 65 and Fish Pakoras for appetizers; Mixed Grill, Lamb Vindaloo, and Paneer Korma entrees. Also, listen to your host as it seems like they're always trying out new dishes that haven't made it onto the menu yet.“

“The burgers are amazing and inventive! Highly recommend!“

“Stopped here on a spontaneous solo date on the way home from grocery store. sidewalk made for very engaging people watching on a summer’s eve. The service started slow, but improved; fantastic dining!“

“Great service and simple but amazing chicken sandwiches. The unique combinations of flavors in each option will make you want to try them all. If you just want a snack, the seasoned curly fries are a must. Then top it off with their delicious soft serve ice cream.“

“I love the cocktails, the people, and the atmosphere ❤️“

“I’ve never been super into vegetarian or vegan food options but this restaurant makes me rethink my approach. They have a creative menu and high quality food. Everything I try ends up being my new favorite.“

“Historical saloon with tasty food and drinks. Also, great atmosphere for amazing live music. Highly recommended!“

“It’s our first time today. We got lucky coz every time we’ll go there the wait is always long. We had a good experience, the receptionist is very nice and very helpful too bad we forgot to ask her name. Our server is very good and welcoming too. And the food didn’t disappoint us. So happy coz this restaurant is just a walking distance from our place. We will definitely go back and recommend this place to our friends.“
