New American Restaurants near Kirkland, WA

“This was our first time here and I would say we were at about 80% satisfied with the experience, compared to other high-end restaurants in the area, the decoration and ambience were very underwhelming, but the staff was very professional, and it was very lively. Both salads were got were excellent and our entree was really good the lamb Ragu. Unfortunately the two starters were meh for the cauliflower was decent. The meatballs were a big flop, not sure if it was overcooked or the meat was too lean, they were really dry and took away from the nice sauce. It took about 30 minutes to order food, think someone forgot about us as the people that came same time as us we’re already eating before we could even order.“

“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!“

“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“

“We attended the Browne Family Wine dinner at Hearth The courses prepared by the Chef to compliment the wines were delicious. We particularly enjoyed the Frisee and Fennel salad and the Short Rib Bolognese with Papparadelle. A very enjoyable evening.“

“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 ❤️“

“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.“

“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!“

“good coffee and reasonable price“

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

“Very cozy, delicious food, friendly & very knowledgeable staff. There were three of us, and we ordered pretty much the whole menu to share, except for a few things we weren't interested in. Plus, none of us eat lamb, so we passed on that. The least of our favorite was chicken liver parfait. The berry flavor was a little too overwhelming that we could barely taste the liver. Beef coulotte were a little chewy, but flavorful. Pink scallop, Kanpachi, Sturgeon and spiced maitake were our favorite. Overall, everything was delicious and beautifully presented.“

“Best chicken fried steak in Washington!!“

“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!!“

“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?? 😁“

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

“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.“

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

“Our food at the Von's Woodinville was outstanding and received great service from Ella. We hope she will be adding a star to her collection.“

“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.“

“We went back after having an amazing experience on Thanksgiving only to walk away disappointed the 2nd time around. We learned there's no heat in the front part of restaurant and it was really cold. Food got cold fast and my body was tense from sitting as bunched up as i could with my napkin as a lap blanket. Our server was great, upfront, making beer recommendations. But .... didn't do so good once we placed our food orders. We asked other servers walking by for a soda refill and tomgo box. We even paid on the table pad and wondered how long it took him to notice we were gone. Food was amazing and the restaurant itself was GREAT! But freezing my *ss off during a nice meal and having a server that doesn't check on you is not so great.“

“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!!!“

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

“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 is excellent ! I always get the wings they literally melt in your mouth and are just so flavorful! My sister brung me here and I’ve been back 5+times by myself since lol ! TRY IT ! I also tried the pena colada’s drink and omg it was soooo delicious“

“Saint John's is my absolute favorite neighborhood bar. Not only do the staff care deeply about their community, but the atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and silly in the best possible way. Every time I'm nearby, I can't resist getting the tuna melt (with house-made pickled onions and potato chips?! incredible) and their side salad with an amazing house-made dressing. Saint John's is a must-stop for anyone who loves and off the charts and still affordable meal (increasingly rare!).“

“My fiancé and I really liked it here; it’s the perfect place for car enthusiasts. The food was good, our waiter was really friendly, and the tour around the interior of the building was interesting. The tours are $15 PP but since they were having an event and the middle of the showroom didn’t have any cars, they gave us a tour around the place for free which we greatly appreciated. Our tour guide was really knowledgeable on the cars. 10/10 would come back~ 🫶🏼“

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

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

“Gnudi and Black and Blue Tart were amazing. Swordfish was not worth the $42.“

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

“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.“

“My all time favorite brunch in the city. The food, no matter the seasonal selections, is always amazing. The cornmeal pancake is a must for the table and a notable favorite from my last visit was the Avocado Toastie with cured egg yolk. Delectable. Forget the food the service and environment is also superb. If you are in Seattle of visiting this is a must try.“

“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!“

“We had such a great night at Joey, and a huge part of that was thanks to our waiter, Miranda. Her energy was amazing from the moment she greeted us—so warm, friendly, and genuinely upbeat. She was attentive without hovering, always smiling, and made us feel truly welcomed and taken care of throughout the evening. Her service and positive attitude honestly elevated the entire experience. Miranda turned a good dinner into a memorable night. Thank you!“

“A fun, cozy spot with old brick walls and wood floor, and high ceilings. Great cocktails and bites. Service is friendly and welcoming. I love the whiskey cocktails (Manhattan, old fashion). The tots are indulgent. Had a burger with tots, and classic buffalo chicken wings to start. Great location to pre-function before a concert at the Showbox. Noise level is very high because of all the hard surfaces.“

“Loved Canon — such a great bourbon/whiskey bar. Found it on TikTok and it definitely lived up to the hype! Our bartender was super friendly, and my boyfriend was in heaven talking bourbon the whole time. Highly recommend if you’re into whiskey or just want a cool spot with a great atmosphere.“
