New American Restaurants near Kenmore, WA

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Joey’s UVillage is AWESOME!! Great food, great drinks, & great staff! Especially, this one server named Sierra. She is SO lovely!! She has a such a beautiful, helpful, AMAZING personality! She made my evening at Joey’s so pleasant! Definitely will be coming back!“

“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. ?“

“Just took my husband here for his birthday and it was fantastic. While my main choice reserving here was for my husband to enjoy the mind-boggling amount of whiskeys they offer, I was pleasantly surprised on how well prepared their food was. We ordered a nice spicy arrabiata pasta dish and Tom Kha inspired type stew. We both enjoyed our meals and felt inspired afterwards especially as we both enjoy cooking at home.Also they surprised my husband with a lovely horchata cake and candle. He enjoyed the whiskey and food. And promises to come back again.The staff was very friendly and attentive. Especially with providing a run down of all the different whiskey options and favorites.“

“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!“

“Fantastic place to meet for a casual, laid back and friendly (adult) atmosphere with great food. I love to go here for small plates, nibbles and drinks with friends but it's also great for a dinner date (Steak! Do it!) Shambles, please bring back the Moroccan Chickpea stew! It was fab!Parking: Usually restaurant parking is limited but plenty of free side street.Kid-friendliness: Not a place I'd personally bring my kids to, not inappropriate but just doesn't feel like The Shambles vibe.“

“What a great organization. This is a WIN-WIN idea if there ever was one. Kudos to all the folks at FareStart who are every day rolling-up-their-sleeves helping others learn how to roll-up-their-sleeves. This town is far better for your work.“

“I don't give 5 stars all that often, especially for restaurants these days. As shared in the reviews, the service was friendly and helpful, the atmosphere was great, and the food was delicious. We were there for my friend's birthday and they greeted us with sparkling red wine, which was a delightful way to start and made the occasion feel as special as it was from moment one. The cocktails were wonderful, too.A bonus is that we could HEAR each other - the background music was just that and the acoustics handled the noise well.I'd definitely go back.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“I've been wanting to go to Nick's since it opened and finally had the chance. Everything was wonderful from the stunning decor to the wine and the food was absolutely perfect in every dimension! Will be adding this to our regular restaurant rotation!“

“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!“

“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.“

“The Tin Table is one of my go-to spots on the Hill! LGBTQ owned and operated--the staff are always so welcoming and remember my regular drink order. They never give me a hard time about not wanting any blue cheese on my cheese plate. The seasonal veg appetizers are always INCREDIBLE. I often take my fries, cheese, or dessert into the Ballroom to finish munching while dancing gets started.They just redid the seating and decor--now there are cute cozy loveseats, warm lighting on each table, etc. Super "Instagramable" if you're into that. Overall, the Tin Table is the perfect mix between cozy neighborhood restaurant/bar and slightly upscale vibes. I doubt you could manage to under OR overdress here.Wheelchair accessibility: There's an elevator in the hallway--if entering from Pine, just keep going straight past the stairs. Spacious ADA stall in the bathroom “

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Great food, great vibes, and Taylor who took care of us was exceptional and had great energy. We had the Happy Hour Mussles, Steak Frites (Washington Wagyu) w potato purée, Le Coin Burger, and scoops of ice cream (vanilla, huckleberry, and spruce). All were excellent. Would highly recommend all the dishes and would come back again.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Excellent food. Quick service. Server was kind to my kids.Took kids (9, 7 and 2 years old) out to practice good behavior at a nice restaurant. They did great!! Waiter was amazing and spoke kindly to the kiddos (my son asked for the dessert menu and the waiter provided it). Loved the atmosphere and the location next to the Spheres. Food and drinks were delicious.“

“I can always count on Betty when delicious food, in a relaxed setting with attentive and friendly service is what the doctor ordered. I had dinner with a friend and we slowly worked our way through various shared dishes. Nate couldn't have been friendlier and more accomodating.“

“Ι love this Irish pub, probably my favourite in Seattle. Food is good, beer is really good, and place is very nice and cosy. Some nights they have events going on and live music. Best time of the year hands down the run up to Saint Patrick's Day. Service is a bit of a hit and miss some times but it's okay. Pricing is decent for the area.“

“Been in Seattle for 8 years now, and can’t believe we hadn’t been here before. Hands down the best meal (really an experience) in the city. The food was creative, whimsical, incredibly well balanced. Wine pairings were impeccable and gave us a new appreciation for Washington vintners. The staff were so warm and knowledgeable. We sat at the chef’s table and got to watch the artistry happening in the kitchen. No on site parking, so would recommend taking a rideshare. Probably best after the wine anyway. Well worth it!!“

“We've been wanting to try this place, but we needed to plan ahead to make reservations. Very glad we did! I ordered the cardamom granola, my husband ordered the crab benedict, and my friend ordered the shakshuka, plus smashed potatoes for the table. We were all very happy with our orders! So so “

“We have been to Copine a couple of times and it is a good experience. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I am vegan and they have the chef prepare special courses based on the fresh ingredients they have, which I greatly appreciate. It is a very fine dining experience and my palette is not advanced enough to really appreciate it. The experience is a very fun date night or special occasion idea.“

“Nice restaurant with consistently good service. The menu has a nice breadth that most everyone can find something they like. It’s in a great area of Hollywood with easy parking and a huge outdoor patio. It has an owner/operator vibe and they are very attentive and friendly. Very reasonable prices for this area and quality. We don’t go here often enough but love every visit.“

“We were visiting from out of town and a close friend recommended this place. Paul and Jake were so welcoming and made sure that we had an enjoyable experience. The pizza and drinks were phenomenal. They had a wide selection of craft beers. The ambience speaks for itself, but what really stood up was how friendly everyone there was. I highly recommended. This is a Seattle bar that everyone should come to.“

“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!!!“

“Had the opportunity to checkout Atlas last night. Wasn't intentional because we were trying to get dinner before a concert, but everywhere had a long wait. We were seated immediately and I'd have to say the service from start to finish was on point! Ordered multiple rounds of drinks and was never disappointed with taste or pours! Food was surprisingly really good. This is a sports bar but the menu was quite impressive from a rib eye steaks to amazing sliders! Overall this place is great! Casual, good music, great for watching games, and they even had a Nintendo 64 hooked up to one of the tvs for Mario kart! We found our new sports bar in lower Queen Ann! Highly recommended ??“

“Five of us dropped in at 6:00 on a busy Friday night and the server was cheerful, friendly and prompt with drinks. We were happy to have lots of vegetarian options. All of our meals were delicious and we look forward to returning. It was great to find this cozy neighborhood bar.“

“Traffic has been insane recently, so I was glad discovering this gem of a restaurant close to our home for Valentine’s dinner. I put in my reservation 10 days ahead, and was fortunate enough to secure a spot.The shop is located in the Harbour Pointe shopping center, so there's plenty of parking available.The restaurant has a nice intimate atmosphere, perfect for romantic date dinners. For the occasion they offered a 3 course menu, with 3 options each for appetizer and main course, which included a vegetarian option.We went with the meat and surf and turf options and those were very tasty, we especially liked the Lamb lollipops. The portions were generous.Our impression was that the owner is very passionate about this restaurant, the food and the satisfaction of the guests and the staff is great, too.We definitely want to come back on one of their regular days.“

“I am so happy I decided to come here, and even happier that I came hungry! The winery is beautiful, modern with lots of wood and red accents. It has a really good vibe and absolutely stunning design and art. The atmosphere is so lovely. The wines are top notch. I love their super Tuscan, and they have whites that even red drinkers would love. No wonder they were voted the top winery in Washington! I went for a tasting but ended up coming home with bottles. The manager, Joel, and the wine club manager, Annika, are absolutely amazing. They did a great job talking about the wines, but also making me feel like I was part of the Brian Carter family. Top tier service! Something I did not expect is that they have some of the best food I've had on the Eastside. Their chef belongs in a Michelin restaurant, but his food pairs so perfectly with the wines that I'm glad he ended up here! I got the fried polenta and broccolini and both were so flavorful and had the perfect texture. Definitely don't overlook their food, especially for happy hour! This is definitely one of my favorite spots in Woodinville!“

“The atmosphere is very cozy and the place is perfectly lit. The chicken bone broth soup is the best!! Have that as an appetizer. I took a refill as well.The bibimbap was very average and was super underwhelming. We also got the summer pasta which tasted very very different than any pasta we’ve had. It’s not for everyone but my partner seemed to enjoy it.For desert we had the carrot cake - make sure you ask them to substitute the cream cheese with fresh cream. This cake was so so good. Ended the meal on a high note.“

“Amazing tasting menu. Tons of creativity, great casual atmosphere, get to talk to the chef, he gave me an extra portion of pork tongue lol. Amazing place. Only minor detraction was that my chair sitting at the bar was kind of uncomfortable. Haha. Still amazing.“

“Hidden gem that I was glad to discover last minute. Good cocktails and very tasty, varied selection of small plates. Have definitely seen enough on the menu to need to come back a few more times to try the other items. Great vibe and ambiance. Friendly staff.“

“Wonderful service, food, and atmosphere. Oysters were amazing, lavender fondue with crunchy grilled bread and apples and pears for dipping never disappoint, steak and trout (de-boned "à table") cooked to perfection in their apple wood smoked grill. Lemon sorbet with olive oil and salt out of this world. We were there for a special occasion and had very special treatment.“

“Daphne's is such a special experience and one I look forward to on every visit to Edmonds. There isn't a cocktail on the menu that I would not recommend, especially when you pair it with a slice of Moto Pizza from across the street. I must make a special shoutout to Desmond, a regular bartender, who treats every customer like family, makes them laugh, and ensures they have a one-of-a-kind experience. Be prepared to squeeze into this little hole in the wall, but I can assure you it's worth the visit.Kid-friendliness: Drop the kids at the movie theater next door and kick back at Daphne's ;)Wheelchair accessibility: Edmonds has a few places within walking distance of Daphne's that would be more suited for wheelchair access!“

“Love this place! Right in the water, great food and drink and reasonably priced. Was raining and the patio seating was well heated from the roof units above all tables. I have the salmon sandwich, which was perfectly seasoned. We will definitely be back rain or shine!“

“Flavorful food that leaves you wanting more! I started with the Shishito peppers and Gluten-free Focaccia bread. The bread is in a cast iron pan served with an olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette. Then I had the burger which something is something you must try. The flavors of the beef, cheese, bacon, and toppings make it delicious!“

“Joli pickles its way into your heart. ❤️I won’t detail the dynamic and fun expertly executed cultural fusion food and beverage experience. Instead I’ll just say, “Go”! Come back and comment if you felt this level of review isn’t 100% justified.“

“Great like their sister restaurant, the 74th Street Ale House on Greenwood, which is an absolute favorite of ours. Casual pub with friendly service and good food and drinks, and with a slightly expanded menu from 74th. I really enjoyed my mahi mahi tacos on my visit and have my eye on that hummus plate in the near future. They also had some interesting drink specials. Very happy a friend is opening a shop on QA so that now we can add Hilltop to our regular rotation as well.“
