Restaurants in Kenmore

“Fantastic food and drinks. They have an eclectic and unique menu, very yummy, plus local/regional spirts/wine/beer. Only qualifier is it's counter service and you have to order food separate from drinks, so it's a little lo-fi on the experience. But still great casual place that leaves you not just satisfied but happy. Also it is very clean, including the restrooms.”

“My partner and I had a wonderful experience at this Mexican restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, full of flavor, and perfectly prepared. For dessert, I highly recommend the fried ice cream. You won’t regret it!

What stood out to us the most was the welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere. We loved seeing people of all ages, from children and teenagers to older adults, enjoying themselves. You can really feel the strong sense of community, and it was lovely to see how many people seemed to know each other.

Great food, wonderful atmosphere, and a perfect place to enjoy a meal with family or friends. Highly recommended!”

“This place is really yummy. Haven't been there in a while. Just showed up in my Google timeline. I need to stop back in there again. Affordable prices. They're pretty quick. Lots of Mexicans go there so that's usually a pretty good sign the food is good. No frills. Just really yummy food 👍🏻”

“My wife and I love this place. They have the best and most authentic acai bowls in the Seattle area. Both owners are from Brazil and one of them is from the region acai comes from, so he has the best understanding of the way it should taste and the best quality of acai. We highly recommend the acai bowls and also the mini coquinas with the green sauce.”

“They’re closing their doors tonight after 45 years . I’ve been going their for 42 years . My parents loved the food there . Fabulous food and I’m sad to see them go .”

“The cafe was bustling with patrons. I was able to get a seat at the counter on a very comfortable stool. The menu was vast, with so many traditional as well as creative options. The plentiful amount of food was perfectly and beautifully prepared and served. The wait staff of only two waitresses managed the never-ending crowd with cheerful grace and impressive skill. It was art in motion. I am glad I stopped in for a late breakfast. If you are craving a traditional cafe experience with delicious food, large portions and friendly, capable staff, this is the spot.”

“The beer tenders are great and I love the trivia on Tuesdays. beer it's good. But, I miss some of the Cairn classics. Wish they would bring them back. Seaplane in particular. Parking is awful. they used to open up the patio area for parking during the winter. postdoc has not done this despite the fact that nobody wants a beer outside when it's raining or snowing. great place though to hang out. kid and dog friendly. Their membership program is pretty awesome too!!!!”

“Richard is the best ! I had a great time and a service”

“Great place for quick drink or happy hour. Personally love their small batch old fashioned options.”

“I don't recommend eating here. A coworker and myself tried the bahn mi and spring rolls one day and they were some of the worst I have eaten; ended up just tossing half my order. My wife tried the pho a day earlier and said it was not that good either. I do have an acquaintance that works close by and eats here often. he agress the bahn mi, spring rolls and pho are not good, but says the rice and noodles dishes are ok.”

“Went last week & had a great time playing pool, darts, skeeball and pop a shot. Can’t wait to go back to try some food.”

“I was at The Lodge for an afternoon reception and wedding, and Father Mulligan's has an extremely convenient happy hour from 2-5PM on Friday and Saturday. Suffice it to say, we stopped by to down a drink or two before the festivities.

The bartenders were very friendly and the cocktail of the day was a fruity vodka/cranberry/grapefruit cocktail topped with a fruity sour. It was very drinkable and our orders came out quickly.

Their wine list also has some unique gems on it, definitely worth a look.

Overall, can't complain about the service and the cocktails were well received for a reasonable price considering the exclusive location.”

“Hard to find the area but cute atmosphere when you go inside. We offered to go but we were open to eat image but the communication weren’t great. But besides that my friends enjoyed the food”

“We love pagliacci! This location is particularly awesome not just because of the pizza but because of the service and dining area. You can sometimes see seaplanes flying around which is always cool.”

“Headed down during a blue grass jam session, place was packed. It was freezing cold outside so I had a Hot Toddy and it was absolutely perfect. Great vibe, great people. Lots of families. I did not eat anything, but next time I will check out their food. I heard they have a farm to table restaurant moving in which would be awesome! If I had my choice, I would have Carolina Smoke BBQ come in and make it the blues capital of the eastside, but let's see what they come up with. HIGHLY recommended.”

“Super friendly service! Great atmosphere!”

“Been frequenting this little gem since working a cpl days a week in Kenmore and just love it. The staff is friendly, very experienced and fast. I waited out 6 other cars this morning and was served in less than 5 mins and got a "thank you for waiting". Speed+accuracy+professional and personable attitudes make for the perfect "go to" coffee place :) I'll never understand why people sit for 20 mins in a Starbucks line when there's places like this, around.”

“Got the Tart Cherry Oat Bar (GF), chocolate chunk walnut cookie & lemon yogurt tea bread & all were excellent. Picked them up at the Kenmore Farmer's Market. Highly recommended.”

“Best Bartender Ever sweet, Morgan is not like the rest. If she is not there go home.”

“I had a fantastic experience at this sushi restaurant! Sushi Combo B was perfect - fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. The wait time was impressively low, making the dining experience even better. The atmosphere is really nice, with a relaxing vibe that makes you want to stay longer. Definitely coming back!”

“A diamond in the rough! Great food and the owner is friendly and personable. I will return. I had the chicken teriyaki and there was plenty of food as I was very hungry after a long morning of doing chores and yard work.”

“Got the garlic rice with the sausage and tofu, so good! Service was slow since they got a bunch of orders at the same time, and food was a little pricey, but so worth it! I'll go again and definitely recommend”

“Lovely brunch in dining room of a lovingly restored historic seminary. Delicious Hawaiian Loco Moco accompanied with an Apple Kohlrabi Slaw. Attentive, friendly staff.”

“we love it here! we’ve been coming to play pool for years and its always nice seeing the friendly faces behind the bar. Matthew, Angie, and Joseph specifically always have top tier customer service and never fail to make us feel at home. this place is an institution and we are excited to keep playing here for many years to come!”

“Their fish tacos are phenomenal . Absolutely the best 😋!”

“Food was good, but it took half an hour to come out. In fairness they said so before we ordered. We weren’t in a hurry, so we stayed.
Food was good, service was good and polite.
The restaurant was clean.
It seems this place is geared more towards takeout orders, there were a lot of people coming in and out to pick up previously placed orders while we sat at a table.
Brighter lighting, more of a cafe vibe than a restaurant.”

“We had lunch at Cedar & Elm a few months ago and had a great experience. But Christmas lunch today was a major disappointment. The website said “choose from either our five-course tasting menu or our regular menu”. We arrived for our 1:30 reservation, were seated late and then told only the brunch menu was available. :(”
