New American Restaurants near Kirkland, WA

“My companion is severely celiac (autoimmune disorder to wheat/gluten). The staff made an effort to point out what was "safe" on the menu, but despite a note on the menu about gluten cross contamination from their fryer, two dishes arrived with fried garnish. I suggest the chef/management/staff should better educate each other.“

“Food was good enough but late afternoon service was really disjointed. Our server was very nice and I suspect other staff left it up to him to take care of everything b/c it was between lunch and dinner. So I would say this is a larger comment not to the wait staff but those managing or behind the bar to be more attentive. Or just close during off hours to centralize service and make for a better dining experience. Was fine enough but not sure I would come back, especially since I'm rarely on the eastside.“

“Delicious and fresh food. Great wait staff too. Highly recommend it!“

“Delicious, healthy choices. You can dine in or take it to go. Great alternative to other fast food places!“

“Amazing bartenders and drinks!“

“How about this for a review - OH What good luck, I just ate the most magnificent duck. At Sparrows I darn near made a glutton and fool of myself. Roasted duck with a cherry port wine sauce. My, my, my a beautiful cherry surprise. A leg, thigh and breast accompanied with an Argintine red wine. Lord all mighty is in the most rewarding places. Sparrows is all up in my palate doing naughty things that taste so so so good. Enough said - get there. DLNewt“

“great greeting, great Bartender, service, and food!“

“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!“

“Always amazing food and the bartender can make anything you want perfectly. It’s my go-to spot for a casual but fancy dinner.“

“Fabulous venue for a Wedding ❤️“

“good coffee and reasonable price“

“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!“

“Awesome food - service-atmosphere!!“

“Their food is some of the best in Seattle. If you haven’t been there, you need to go and experience 84 Yesler. On par with the finest dining around.“

“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?? 😁“

“This place is amazing. The ambiance is dark and sexy, the staff is beyond welcoming, and the execution of the dishes is consistently on point. The menu is fun and hits from eclectic to classic. My wife and I have been here twice, and both times they slipped us a thank you dish. Normally we like to try different places, but 2120 is a place we’ll go back to again and again. Cocktails are inventive and complex. I have one gripe, I’d love to see this place expand to an international wine list, cause if they do this well at what they already do, their international wine choices would prob be exceptional. Owen Kotler Selections would be a great fit here. Shout out to Jason the Gm and our server was Will (I believe, sorry homie, strong cocktails blur my memory). The desserts man. It’s like everyone here really loves what they’re doing, and intense scrutiny goes into each dish the comes out of that kitchen. Top restaurant in Seattle for sure. More affordable than most too. Much love guys, well done!“

“Best chicken fried steak in Washington!!“

“Such an amazing restaurant, great staff and delish food.“

“Overall, really good experience. Our waitress was funny and engaging. I forget her name but we talked about New Jersey. 5 stars for her all the way. The food was really good but I can't give it a five just because of the waffle. It tasted like it had been sitting around and not hot out of the waffle iron. The eggs (scramble) was really good but the waffle was just missing the mark. I would definitely go back though and try them again.“

“Joined Atoma to celebrate 2 years at their Halloween party and it was so fun! We dressed up as Severance (Mark S. & Helly R.) - IYKYK - and ended up getting runner up in the costume contest. First place went to Ted Lasso, which honestly makes sense… Ted Lasso is the GOAT.

The staff absolutely made the night! Harley Quinn was dancing the night away while handing out sandwiches, Batwoman had some unreal moves, and Poison Ivy was so good I’m already planning to come back for future events. The food was great, and shoutout to the Roquette bartenders - Riddler and Joker - plus the person serving wine (I didn’t catch their name, but they were awesome too!).

DJ Kaipo was 100/10. Perfect vibes all night. I would 100% do this again next year. I only wish we could’ve stayed for the 8pm session too!

Thanks Atoma - we’ll be back! Happy Anniversary 🥂“

“Seasonal and local faire thoughtfully presented by a knowledgeable staff. Food was delicious and beverages were paired perfectly.“

“Interesting cushion of Asian spices/flavoring with western dishes.“

“Disappointed in dinner yesterday. Took my mom out to eat, had the lamb kofta and chicken. Both were not good. The kofta was cool in the middle and the chicken was tough & dry. The lettuce was brown, black, and wilted throughout. I think they were rushing to switch from lunch to dinner and just threw anything together. Completely terrible experience.“

“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.“

“I was surprised at how good everything was. Good sour beer, and cider, food was very good. Highly recommend.

Wisconsin Fried Cheese Curds are good. Korean BBQ Cheese Steak is really good. Whiskey and Aged White Cheddar Burger also very good. CC“

“What an incredibly unique dining experience! The Derby and The Shop offers something you won’t find anywhere else in Seattle - the chance to dine surrounded by classic cars in their storage area. We hosted a private party here and were blown away by both the atmosphere and the food.
The venue is perfect for special events. The car storage setting creates an unexpectedly cool and fun backdrop that had our guests talking all night. It’s industrial yet welcoming, making for great conversation starters and photo opportunities.
The food definitely lived up to the unique setting. The appetizers during our cocktail hour were excellent quality and well-presented. For dinner, the chicken and waffles were absolutely outstanding - perfectly crispy chicken with fluffy waffles that hit all the right notes. The bulgogi lettuce wraps were another standout, offering fresh, flavorful Korean-inspired bites with tender, well-seasoned meat.
Service was attentive throughout our event, and the staff handled our private party seamlessly. If you’re looking for a memorable dining experience that combines great food with an automotive twist, The Derby and The Shop delivers. Highly recommended for anyone wanting something different from the typical Seattle restaurant scene.“

“Frank's is my favorite place in town to get oysters on the half-shell. The vibe is warm, relaxed, and welcoming. The bread with ash butter and sea salt is a favorite. The oysters are fresh, plump, and succulent. The champagne mignonette is flavorful and delicate so as not to outdo the oysters. We tried a seasonal dessert: nectarine, rose, and pistachio pavlova. Everything is delicious. Finally, the service is impeccable. We always feel special when we are here and we can't wait to visit again soon!“

“America’s 1st all vegetable based Fast Food burger joint. Tasted great, a wonderful variety of add-ons and sauces 😋 . Didn’t try the shakes, but they looked marvelous and a friend highly recommended the Peanut-butter shake!“

“Excellent service, food, drinks and atmosphere. I was pleasantly surprised coming to this bar to have a couple drinks before a concert. Food and drinks came out super fast and were very tasty! Definitely recommend the S.T.F.U. drink and the Pork Belly Banh Mi Tacos.“

“Our first dinner in Seattle was at Joey Bellevue, and it was outstanding. We started with the mini French dips, which came with a port red wine au jus reduction easily among the best I’ve ever had. For dinner, I had the steak and ravioli blanco, paired with their signature crispy mashed potatoes. The steak was tender and flavorful, the ravioli was rich and buttery, the shrimp was perfectly fresh, and the crispy mashed potatoes were truly memorable. Our server, Lanesha, went above and beyond to make the night special. She surprised us with a crème brûlée cheesecake with strawberries as a welcome-to-vacation treat, such a thoughtful touch! The food, service, and atmosphere all combined to create a wonderful first-night-in-Seattle experience. Highly recommend Joey Bellevue for both locals and visitors.“

“Great atmosphere here specially if you like tiny dinosaurs, you'll see! Food is always great, the main house burger is a favorite, drinks are nice and staff is always super friendly and kind!
The outdoor patio area in the back is lovely, give it a shot!“

“Excellent food. Wonderful service .. Recommend The Shambles steaks… all of them🙃“

“Love the food and wait staff! Love the total experience!!! Brunch menu is delicious! Thank you my friend Patricia Corr!💙“

“I was walking in the area looking for a restaurant to get an early dinner when I saw republic. I don't drink so was hesitant but when I entered I was surprised to see such an inviting atmosphere. The staff were friendly, efficient, professional, friendly, and accommodating. The menu was eclectic with unique offerings. I chose the grilled asparagus which was amazingly good , and the beef tips which were tender and delicious. My friend had a cheeseburger which he said was wonderful, and cooked to perfection. It was served with a generous portion of the best fries I have eaten in years. I highly recommend this place!!!“

“Clean, bougie Seattle vibes with everything touching the floor going to rust 😆

A Rainier might be $12 but they're still gonna use that single ply supply house TP 🧻

Seattle water pressure and a coooold seat 🥶
That's means it's ventilated... probably.... right?

Whether it's one or twooo 🎶
Harry's fine fooooods 🎵
In a pinch it'll dooooo 💩“

“My fiance and I went here for a few cocktails and had a wonderful time. Our bartender was Brandon and he was wonderful. The whole staff was very sweet and accommodating. Some cocktail bars give off the too good for you vibe and Canon does an amazing job of making it feel like a normal bar with amazing cocktails! Thanks for a wonderful evening!“

“Food was amazing highly recommend“

“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!“

“The happy hour beverage options are fantastic, I had a delicious Old Fashioned for a steal! The tots are always the best and the chicken sandwich was so crispy and delicious. My only complaint is that there is no option for grilled chicken/protein to be added to the salads. The options are either fried chicken or fried shrimp. My wife ordered a salad to be calorie conscious but the only way to add protein was for it to be fried, which negates the point. Add grilled protein options and this would be a 5 start review!“

“The kindest staff around! Have come here a few times and am always treated with smiling faces from the waitstaff and kitchen staff. Plus, the foods delicious! The french toast is A++ 👌 Good music, good food, good service. You can’t go wrong!“

“Just go, if you are thinking about it, bottomless mimosas should be the only breaking point.“

“Best restaurant in the greater seattle area, friendly service and great food!!!“
