“Jay is the man! I've been going to Jays since it opened. The service people are like family. You just get the nice small town diner vibe. Great food at a great price. Plus Jay is always in the back cooking. I don't think I've ever seen Jay not cooking and you know when Jay cooks your food, its always the way you want it.“
“We had high expectations and were not disappointed. Food was delicious (we had sable fish for main, Cale/arugula salad and flatbread for starters), for desert we had a wonderful caramel tart. Our server Angel was very knowledgeable and gave good recommendations. All in all a very pleasant experience in very nice surroundings. Free vale parking was an extra bonus! We will be back!“
“My favorite brunch place in Seattle. I absolutely LOVE their Dutch pancakes, they are perfect. My husband loves their classic breakfast plate and says it's simple but perfect. And we're both fiends for their special house made ketchup... so much so that I asked if I could have a side to take home.. haha. Also love their service, the waitresses are super warm and nice which elevated the experience. I would come here every week if I could.“
“Our favorite Seattle restaurant. We visit at least once a month. The menu is always creative with seasonal additions and with the finest quality ingredients. Service is always top-tier! The bar and bartenders are excellent at their craft and the cocktail selections pair so perfectly with the menu - FlintCreek knows what they are doing!Make a reservation and celebrate a special event, this experience will exceed your expectations!Parking: Parking lot just south of the venue, lots of street parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Level entry at street.Mention you need accommodation when making your reservations and they will seat you downstairs. They are great about this!“
“We came here randomly to celebrate NYE 2024 before heading to a rooftop party to watch the Space Needle NYE show. No reservations are needed, so this place came in clutch. We're so glad we came here! The owners were there and provided NYE hats and party beads, and the whole bar had a champagne toast to celebrate the ball drop in NYC. It was such a nice time, and the owners were very kind in providing NYE gear and champagne for everyone! We had yet to learn before coming here how much of a community vibe you get with this place. We ordered: -The Crab Nachos were super filling and tasty. I'm so glad we got these! They were the perfect final meal to end 2023. I will definitely be back for these. -The Painted Hills Beef Burger was delicious and filling. -While I Was Away - Refreshing and light, perfect pre-dinner drink -Devil's Margarita--This one was pretty strong. I highly recommend it. The flavor mix was interesting. I noticed this was a big hit. There were several tables that got this one. -Some beers, I need to remember which ones, but my partner says they were good! Overall will be back, the prices, the community vibe, and how much you can tell the owners care about their patrons shows. This place tends to be busy with regulars for a reason!“

“We are obsessed with Von's. I went a couple of weekends ago with a friend to catch up and went back the next day to take my husband. The food was amazing (shoutout the burrata and homemade pastas!) and the cocktail menu was impressive. I was a huge fan of the $7.99 scratch manhattan. This is our new fav!“
“Very charming neighborhood restaurant in Cap Hill. Food was great and ambiance 10/10. However, our server wasn’t very friendly /borderline rude which we looked past. I was also a bit disappointed in the quality of their craft cocktails featured for Cocktail week.“
“DANIEL IS THE BEST! we had such a wonderful experience thanks to our waiter, Daniel. he was incredibly attentive, frequently checking in to ensure our drinks were full and our needs were met. his friendly demeanor and quick service really enhanced our evening. 100/10“
“Hands down the best restaurant in Seattle!Make the trip to the Green Lake neighborhood.The food is so well thought out and hyper local. The entire service staff exudes Michelin star knowledge.The wine team has curated one of the best by the glass programs/ bottle list in Seattle. Their attention to detail and sustainable practices is the scale of Nomad.Hands down the best dining experience in Seattle!“
“5 Spot is my favorite diner in Seattle! My friend visited from out of town and we had a delicious breakfast in the bar. Nicky was amazing! So sweet and friendly - really added to an overall positive experience.Dietary restrictions: I'm vegan and love all of the options!“
“This place is absolutely adorable and has the best vibe! The decor makes you feel like you’re in a safe place, and the service backs that feeling up. The food is fantastic too! Highly recommend attending Drag Brunch on Sunday, the queens are insanely talented and the atmosphere is electric! JT behind the bar is amazing, and the drinks are delicious and creative! Highly recommend the Buzz Bunny. Food-wise, Chicken and Beignets gives a wonderful twist on the classic chicken and waffles, complete with soft serve! You read that correctly. You really can’t go wrong with a visit to Kamp Social House, where you’ll be treated to an amazing meal by gorgeous and considerate humans!“
“One of my friends suggested Single Shot for an intimate brunch, and even though we are from Tacoma and I was hesitant to drive all the way to Seattle just for a brunch spot, it was definitely worth it!Single Shot is tucked back in the neighborhoods near Capitol Hill where you wouldn’t even think such a modern and outstanding brunch spot would be! It was honestly hidden between older homes and apartments and would be easy to miss if you didn’t know what you were looking for. It’s a cozy restaurant inside and has nice outdoor seating as well. The decor is a modern take on vintage style, and being there feels both like stepping back in time but also living in the 2024 you only see in movies.The staff are all extremely friendly with customers as well as with each other. I was new, but I could tell based on watching staff and patrons interact that there are a lot of regulars.I was given a heads up that the food is large, so we decided to do family style dining, and it was truly large servings! I was shocked by how large a single pancake was!! Between the three of us, we still had leftovers! Everything is homemade and uses fresh ingredients too! Even the toast was impressive and toast is usually the leftover filler for small meals, but not here!I cannot wait to come back!“
“Took my fiance here with my mother for my fiance's birthday. It also happened to be Easter ?. The staff was still operating at top notch although other places were straight up closed. Glad we walked it.We ordered the seared octopus which was according to my mother who is an octopus fanatic some of the best she's ever had ??..., the scallops which were my favorite (5⭐)... and the spicy steam clams which my fiance adored (delicious green curry base). Over all amazing experiences for grabbing some cocktails and a small bite with friends or family. Come show this place some love so it can stick around ?“
“I have been here twice now and the food is great. I typically go for their BLT . They serve it with biscuits, poached eggs, collard greens , bacon, tomato jam, sweet chilies and mayo.My husband likes their fried chicken with biscuits and gravy. I really like their biscuits and I find myself going here when I miss wandering goose or the biscuit and bean. I really do wish they would serve mushroom gravy. Service is good.“
“What a lovely gem!Came here with mother and wife on a Saturday for lunch and were really impressed by the food.The fried oyster po boy was something out of this world! I never knew you could have such good po boy outside of Louisiana ?Wife ordered the lamb gnocchi which was also very delicious! ? We also ordered a warm beet salad and a cannoli which we liked as well.Their lunch menu is quite reasonable. And their proximity to Green Lake makes this place an ideal fueling station after your run or biking tour. ?“
“Amazing dinner experience! The chef has exquisite taste, his Foie gras is so perfectly cooked, best in Seattle 100% Last time we had it in Maximillien and it was complete disgrace to both product and french cuisine Great choice if wines for very reasonable prices. Strongly recommend Omakase experience.“
“I had a FABULOUS nonalcoholic cocktail, the name escapes me, but it was definitely the best NA I've ever had. The mouthfeel resembled real alcohol. Very impressive.My butternut squash soup was very flavorful, but for my tastes was a bit too thick.My date's cauliflower steak was not tender, but otherwise tasty. The management did not end up charging him for it, which was commendable.I would definitely return to try their steaks and more cocktails!“
“Taylor was pretty amazing, she attended all of our drinks, and services. It was amazing to talk to her and know where she’s from because it’s an area where I’d like to visit. She’s was friendly and had a good amount of recommendations. Thank you Taylor. ?“
“My team and I had the most wonderful dinner at the Whale Wins (and I felt like I ate like a winning whale.) From the moment we sat down and were greeted by the smiling faces of our servers to the last drop of wine at the end of the night, it was perfect. We all agreed that the food was some of the best we have had in years. Each of us had a favorite - mine was the black cod and the Matiz sardines on toast. The servers were attentive, super kind, and made sure we left happy, with a delicious slice of the zucchini bread with creme fraiche and sea salt.I look forward to going back and experiencing the rest of the menu!“
“I came here 8 years ago and I still think about the eggs Benedict. Randomly searched this place again to remember the name and decided I needed to leave a review. So worth the wait,if you get there and there’s a long line! I live in the south now but someday I’ll be back !!!“
“My son took me out to celebrate my last day of chemo. We had the absolute BEST dinner. I definitely would put it in my top 5. My son and I agree, it was the best steak we ever had. We checked out the connected art studio/gallery bext door. Very good vibes here. One thing I will.menti9n though, is that the online menu doesn't necessarily match up.with what is offered. Our sides were different. We weren't disappointed at all. But if you are online, and hoping for a particular item, maybe call first to make sure. Highly recommend this place.“
“Great ambience for sure. And amazing cocktails menu. Though we just had mimosas but I really wanted to try the cocktails. Definitely going back there for this. The food is great too for sure. The staff is very cute & friendly.Be on time for your reservation it is a busy place & they don’t hold the table/reservation for 15 mins. We lost our table cuz we were late but we waited there for 10-15 mins and got the table cuz then we listed ourselves on the waitlist. This prolly might not be the case on I guess we got lucky lol.All in all, a great place for brunch. Definitely going back there. :))Cheers!!“
“We went to Nicks’s for dinner Saturday night. Food, service, ambiance all great. You can tell they really care about doing things well. We had so much fun. And everyone was so nice. Highly recommend going here. We plan to go back many times.“
“Superb experience! Delectable meals (Trout, Sturgeon, Pork Loin, Lamb Chop, plus desserts); delicious cocktails; personable service. Nell's is wonderfully quiet – no background music – which allows great conversations without going hoarse yelling above the din. We have been a number of times over several years, and like to take out-of-town guests – a place visitors to Seattle would never hear about or find on their own. Thank you, Nell's, for another outstanding evening!“
“The 4 of us are visitors from FL and are at the one on Fremont in Seattle. We each had something different, beef stew, corn beef & cabage, chicken pot pie & the mashers thing.Everything was amazing. Our server was a young lady from Iowa and she was just the best. So friendly and helpful with suggestions and and was just amazing“
“The tasting menu is the way to go! Perfect place to celebrate our first anniversary!The whole staff was so kind and knowledgeable. I asked the bartender to make me a mocktail that would fit the tasting menu and she completely nailed it! The food was all delicious and so experimental and fun! We plan to go back at least quarterly to see what else they come up with!“
“Perfect food, perfect atmosphere, perfect service. Everything was wonderful! We were thrilled to find fresh Shigoku oysters on the menu, and the spinach salad, steak frites, and mushroom pesto pasta were delicious. Naturally, the PB chocolate cake was a winner, too. The chef, staff, and owners know what they're doing and they've created a friendly and welcoming space to enjoy their craft. Can't wait to return!“
“This place is a hidden gem.The happy hour menu is dank and their disclaimers on the menu about time/timing and when to gtfo are awesomeI will say that the music can be strange-no juke box. Once I listened to 15 different versions of 'regulators' (Warren G) throughout dinner.10/10You'd never expect to find this adjacent to a Freddy's. Or maybe you would.“
“Wow. Just wow. Never have I had such an amazing tater tot combo as the "ancho tots". Queso, flavorful pulled pork, cilantro, tortilla strips, and tots are a winning combo. So heavy, but great to share as a once in a while treat. The green goddess salad was also an amazing combination of ingredients and flavors. The cocktails are good, although fairly expensive. Nice atmosphere, with outside seating when weather permits. Service was a little slow to get our food out, but worth the short wait.“
“The knowledgeable sommelier guided us through a delightful wine selection, both white and red. Our table was graced with an exquisite spread: eggs Benedict, apple fritters, classic breakfast, and caviar with chips. However, coffee aficionados might find the options limited—just French press with half-and-half creamer. Despite this, I wholeheartedly recommend Le Coin for a memorable brunch experience. Can't wait to explore their lunch and dinner offerings!“
“We visited this location for drinks and snacks. Food was better than expected. I specially loved the hummus. Crab cakes were also good, a nice touch with papaya. They also have a good beer selection. It was pretty empty for a Friday hh time, but we actually enjoyed that because we were able talk.“
“One of the best hotel experiences I have had in a while. The hotel is lovely, the room we had (queen bed suite) was spacious and clean, and the overall atmosphere was so inviting. We initially booked here because the were willing to accept my 2 adventure cats (not all pet friendly hotels take cats). We did not need to bring the cats this time, but will for sure on our next trip down. The hotel was walking distance to many of the things we were there to see, which was a huge bonus. A massive shout out to some exceptional “everything” people. Bonnie and Chandra at the front desk, so personable and inviting every time we walked through the doors. To Chloe the barista at Pineapple Express who always appreciated our willingness to arrive at 715 in our PJs and fancy robe lol. And Darryl at the bar who made our last evenings stay funny and memorable. We will be back 100%.“
“A dimly lit, great vibes restaurant with some of the best food in Seattle! Up there with Spinasse, Six Seven, Matt’s… Canlis? Some drop your socks duck, steak, and amazing apps like burrata and roasted carrots. The burrata was probably the best I’ve had (and I’ve been to Italy. Don’t tell the Italians I said that).“
“One of the neighborhood bars!! My mom used to hang out there and bartended for a while and that was my first time there since 2001. It was really nice, very relaxing. The atmosphere was really nice and everybody was very friendly and the bartender was great. Thank you, Mel and all the people to Caroline that “
“as this was my first time trying gumbo, I'm not sure I'm fully qualified to judge this, but I'll give it a shot anywaynormally, I don't like soups, because they're mostly liquidhowever, this was less of a soup and more of a dish with a ton of sauce - due to how much stuff is in hereI loved that this bowl was completely packed with solid ingredients - so each spoonful got you a variety of different thingsthe most important thing in a soup is getting the broth right - and I have to say they pretty much nailed itthe liquid has some spice to it - which very much pleasantly surprised me, and in addition, it has great depth of flavorI found it to be probably the best part of the bowlnone of the toppings are particularly noteworthy - they're all pretty solid additionsas mentioned earlier, the amount of meat in here was pretty fantastic.I noticed chicken and sausage as being especially present throughout, and both were pretty goodthe bread was decent - I thought it could've used more toasting/crispiness and more butter - as it became a bit too softwhen dipped in the gumbothe fries were also ok - i would've loved if they were seasoned with some sort of cajun seasoning - but the sauce was goodthe price wasn't too expensive, around 15 dollars, but the portion size wasn't huge either - so it's about a wash thereOverall, good flavor with a ton of different ingredients. 8/10“

“Always Welcoming, a regular from the Hood, I really like the inclusive head nod & smile. I appreciate great service, from utensils & pretty good coffee, Just fussy about my coffee ?. They are consistently good. I think there's even clubs that meet up. About Pricing, not a problem & appropriate ?.“
“During my recent visit to Seattle, I had the pleasure of dining at Swel, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment I stepped in, the ambiance set a high standard – elegant yet welcoming, perfectly capturing the essence of fine dining with a personal touch.The highlight of my meal was the filet with peppercorn sauce. Cooked to perfection, it was a flavorful masterpiece that melted in my mouth. Accompanying this was a tequila old-fashioned – a delightful twist on a classic. This drink made me rethink my usual bourbon preference; it was that impressive!But what truly set Swel apart was the owner's involvement. Their passion and dedication were evident in every detail, from the meticulously crafted menu to the attentive service. It was inspiring to see an owner so deeply involved, ensuring each guest's experience was exceptional.In summary, Swel is a must-visit for anyone in Seattle seeking a top-tier dining experience. It's a testament to what happens when exquisite food, innovative drinks, and heartfelt hospitality come together. A true five-star experience! Also, make sure to get the scratch-made bread pudding. You won’t be sorry.“
“I have been to Cook Weaver 5 times now and it is amazing every time. They are now a tasting menu and they have a lot of amazing flavors. The vegetarian tasting menu is so savory. This time was the best I have ever had there with lots of mushrooms and nori. The service was so friendly and fun. The murals are gorgeous and the building is a cute little spot. I will continue to come here for special times in my life. Some of the best dishes of my life, definitely on par with Michelin starred restaurants we have tried in the past. The other members of my party raved about the omnivore menu. Pricey but definitely worth every penny. The wine pairing was great too with some really unique choices.“
“The service was amazing, like a well choreographed, but not overly formal dance. The food was of course amazing I love you spectacular. We never felt rushed and felt incredibly well taken care of. Of course be prepared to leave a hefty amount there but one would not go here without knowing that.one nice thing was that we went to her birthday meal and were unable to get in on my wife’s birthday, but put our names in on the waiting list and several days prior and opening on her birthday appeared and we were able to change our reservation so that might be possible.“
“Pancita was sooo good! One of the better meals I have had recently. We got the tuna tostada, brisket suadero tacos, and the half chicken and mole. All the flavors were incredible, and I loved the ambience of the restaurant. Excited to come back!“
“Wonderfully creative food that didn't feel overly pretentious and filled us up. The Staff was informative and friendly, taking times to explain and recommend dishes without being asked; If this was located downtown it would be twice the price and still worth it.“
“I enjoy this local chain of restaurants. I went with a couple of friends for dinner. I arrived first and was seated fairly quickly even though my friends hadn't arrived yet.The service was very good and the employees were friendly and polite. They seemed short-handed, but everyone was hustling and provided great service regardless.I ordered a salad. It was okay. The lettuce was from a bag and wasn't as fresh as I hoped.The others I was with seemed to enjoy their meals. One ordered the Eggs Benedict and she said it was really good. The other ordered an omelet and enjoyed it. I should have ordered the Eggs Benedict. I will definitely order that next time.They serve breakfast all day. I know from experience that their breakfasts are very good.Prices are reasonable.Dietary restrictions: They will adjust items on the menu as requested. One of our diners had special requests and her meal arrived as ordered.“
“Has all a person would want in a pub; special nights of games, big screen TV, pool table, etc. Good nachos. They let us use their back room for a non-profit group get together, thank you.Parking: Horrible... but it's a city neighborhood !Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, no steps at all“
“Always my favourite! Scallops, duck, desserts, wine pairing, martinis. It is all the best. Service is amazing, atmosphere is great. Delicious and dependable. Make a reservation now!Update: went last night. They still are the best!Dietary restrictions: Were able to alter the scallops and risotto to be dairy free. There was an upcharge.“

The staff was clearly working as a team and taking care of each other as well as us, everyone was having such a great time, there was an AM birthday party, sports, laughs - good food and fast too! We will be back!“

“Once again another top-notch experience at Heritage. Every single employee was incredibly welcoming, kind and attentive. Service from start to finish was the best. The food, as always, was delicious-the burger, fries and saffron aioli (could put this sauce on everything) keeps me coming back over and over. If you haven't been-you need to! A constant favorite!!!“
“Always delicious and one of the best taps on the Eastside!! I had the special patty melt, confit onions and it was so yummy. Their fries are also some of the top fresh cut fries around. Service is always fast and helpful. Two must try items are the Brussel sprouts and the cheese curds!“
“Awesome breakfast spot near Mill Creek in the same complex as the Amazon Go and Tapped Ale House. Super clean and open seating area. Friendly staff who prepared our food so quickly for our large group of 8. I opted for the two egg breakfast. They cooked my over easy eggs perfectly! The drip coffee here is fantastic. I don't know which coffee company provides the grounds, but I made to tell the server that the coffee was fantastic. For that alone, it gets 5 stars. Overall, good food, good value, great service, amazing coffee.“
“The Guest House is a hidden gem in the Kenmore neighborhood! I have been there numerous times and the food and the service have always been superb. Tonight I had the halibut, and it was phenomenal. So light and refreshing . The amazing citrus pea sauce just screamed spring!“
