New American Restaurants near Kirkland, WA

“We took two friends who'd were from out of state. They loved our favorite Kirkland restaurant!! The service is good and the food terrific. Not to mention a great cocktail list. The beautiful wooden bar adds a lovely atmosphere. Five star for sure!“

“Overall, our experience at Hearth was great. The food was very flavorful and we enjoyed the shrimp. On the other hand, the staff was not personable with the exception of Victor. The staff did not check in on us, and Victor served us throughout the evening.“

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

“Amazing bartenders and drinks!“

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

“My mom and I had dinner at Sparrow while visiting WA. We LOVED our food and drinks! Mom got pork belly and scallops with polenta and she said “this is the best meal I’ve ever had”. Let me tell you, she doesn’t say that lightly. I had the Alaskan halibut which was served with asparagus and heirloom tomato compote - the fish was a good sized portion and besides being healthy, it satisfied the pallet and the stomach. The wait staff was fantastic, and the drinks were superb!“

“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!“

“Fabulous venue for a Wedding ❤️“

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

“Stateside was simply fun and excellent. A nice selection of cocktails, including a couple of nice NA cocktails. The food was innovative and delicious. We had the ribs, the sticky rice balls, and the trout. It was all excellent and and well presented. We will definitely go again our next time in Seattle!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“We had an incredible dinner here during our trip to Seattle! The service was absolutely outstanding! (Dillon and Rita!) The cocktails were super unique and well executed. One of the best restaurants in Seattle! Can’t wait to come back! #GOAT“

“Awesome food - service-atmosphere!!“

“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.“

“good coffee and reasonable price“

“My friend & I were just walking around Seattle (putting our steps in) and randomly or spontaneously decided to walk in Lark on a Saturday without a reservation.
We weren’t positive that we would get a table and we were also embarrassingly underdressed for an upscale restaurant…
They were so warm and welcoming and sat us at the bar.
Service was kind, professional, accommodating, attentive (definitely enhanced our dining experience).
Food was tasty, well prepared, dessert was delicious, drinks were yum:).
The bartender was wonderful helping my friend select the type of drink he wanted.
Most of all, the ambiance was enjoyable (great selection of music).
It was an amazing experience overall.
Thank you team lark :))“

“Best chicken fried steak in Washington!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 disappointed when I received a text that they were giving away my table if I did not arrive in two minutes. I walked in on time but had to wait because the hostess was on the phone and the other one was seating. Someone else. They went to go seat me, and I told the person that I requested a booth. She told me that they canceled my reservation. I was shocked that they would cancel a reservation after two minutes of the reservation when technically I was there I was waiting for a hostess to help me. The waiter was also rude and not very nice. I felt rushed to order and to eat my food and to leave the restaurant. I've eaten at the Yard House in Chicago Illinois and had great experiences so I thought I would have one at this location too .“

“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?? 😁“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Drinks = 5⭐ Totally stopped because of the name, drinks were amazing. We didn't eat, but don't forget to look at your receipt. So many fun things to see on that receipt. We kept it as a souvenir. I don't mean anything about the prices, I just mean keep your receipt and look at it. It's just those little details that make this place super fun.“

“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!“

“Food was amazing highly recommend“

“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!“

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

“I love this place! Jenna provided excellent service!“

“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!!!“

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

“Lovely place. The food was okay but not spectacular. We had several dishes. Some were better than others. I love the octopus!. The dates were good, however they should have put the feta inside the dates as well because otherwise they were a little too sweet. Would return because they do change the menu all the time.“

“We visited Radiator Whiskey for our wedding anniversary and had a delightful time. The bone marrow was especially amazing, and the server made us feel very comfortable and even readily helped with a minor substitution we requested. Great environment, felt very private even in a busy night.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“Absolutely fantastic food as well as service!!“

“The food is exquisite and Chef William is a gem. We can always count on a great meal and having a wonderful night out. We love Violet! We also love sitting at the bar and chatting it up with Kevin. If you want a fun night out, head to Violet! You won’t be disappointed!“

“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!“

“Had the best lunch today! I had the halibut sandwich and hubby had the tuna sandwich! Dominic was one of the best servers I’ve ever come across! And we travel a lot.“

“Very tasty food and really attentive service. We had a bit of a time crunch at dinner and the server was able to help accommodate us, which was appreciated. The restaurant was comfortable and fairly quiet. Another friend just came back from lunch there and raved about the smash burger, too.“

“Bummer, been going for years to all of her restaurants. Food is excellent, ambiance is five stars. However, for the first time I felt very unwelcome here. My server couldn’t get me outta there faster. I had two kids with me, but they didn’t act up or anything and we had a 5.15 seating. Our server asked me for my whole order with drinks, and when dinner was over asked me if I wanted my check before she asked about dessert. I literally started thinking “do I know her from somewhere else? And does she not like me for some reason?” I had to ask for my dessert to go, as it felt like she didn’t want me to eat it there. Restaurant wasn’t even full when we left. Will put some space between me and whale wins for a while 😥“

“Great meal and amazing service. I will definitely be back when I visit Seattle.“

“The only negative part of my experience was the path to get here. The path to the gum wall is a little difficult and as someone that happened to have lower mobility that day, it is unfortunate that there didn't appear to be any other accessible entrances however I personally don't fault them for that as Seattle as a whole can be a little difficult to navigate if you require accessible entrances. As for the service I was very attentively taken care of and served. The atmosphere is incredible, among the best in all of Seattle. Having a meal in this awesome and literal hole in the wall where ambient jazz music plays as you have a drink at a candlelit table with dim lighting was definitely a highlight of my trip. Genuinely the best pizza I've ever had in my life, too. If you've never had figs on a pizza, try it... it'll change your life!“
