New American Restaurants near Kirkland, WA

“My wife and I have come here for the drinks and occasionally truffle pommes frites or some oysters, but this time we tried some of the other menu items for dinner. My wife got the Halibut (Chapter 6) and I got the Mushroom Pasta dish. (Chapter 5)

I asked Casey if he recommended the mushroom dish and he said it was one of his favorites. I'm not a foodie, so I don't get overly excited over food but let me tell you... It was so good that it prompted me to write a review about it. I actually felt an endorphin rush from eating it! My wife loved the halibut, (which I also tried) and I would say getting her to eat fish is usually a challenge unless her fisherman father prepares it!

I would recommend a Manhattan or Old Fashioned, which Casey also pointed me towards some new Rye to try. Fantastic as always!

I had placed an order for oysters but apparently they were forgotten, but I was so enamored with the mushroom dish that I didn't even care. Casey offered them to me on the house as he felt bad, which was a very nice gesture. I wasn't upset at all!

Now we would like to try all the other dishes, because if both meals were that good, how can they miss with anything else?

I didn't take photos of the food because I inhaled it :)

Thanks Casey and the rest of the staff for great service and amazing food/drinks!“

“Amazing bartenders and drinks!“

“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!“

“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“

“Carly was magnificent and took such good care of us.

Loved the beignets and salmon bagel. Shakshuka was good but not
My favorite I’ve ever had.

Great fast casual spot with an enviable cocktail list for brunch before walking to the waterfront“

“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!“

“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.“

“Fabulous venue for a Wedding ❤️“

“good coffee and reasonable price“

“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!“

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

“Fantastic meal. Their cocktail menu could be a standalone bar experience. The cookies, pork, and pavlova are a must. The mushrooms were good, but a bit strong and could have been better as a small starter. However, the bread that came with them amazing.“

“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.“

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

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great selection of beers on tap. We prefer the German wheat beers, and they did not disappoint. Ordered hamburgers the first visit. Very good. Large burger with a good selection of toppings. Our second visit we ordered the chicken nachos. Was a little skeptical of the pinto bean topping, but the nachos were also very good. The French fries, particularly the truffle fries are also good. Second visit, the initial bartender was surly, but chalked this up to a long day. Shift changed, and the service bounced back, so generally very friendly. I'd go back.“

“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!“

“I come here every single week. I tell my friends that if I’m not eating the cheeseburger from this place, I’m thinking about it. And lord have mercy the fries are good. Their fries are consistently in my top 3 list of fries, and the other two spots aren’t consistent at all. I love the cozy vibe and the friendly staff as well.“

“Greeter was rude. Like it was a trouble for him to get up from folding napkins to seat me at a table instead of going to the bar like he suggested. Actual server was nice. Food was good but overpriced($32 for a chicken burger and fries, no drink) and the 20% automatic tipping is a huge turnoff. This tipping culture is too much, tipping should be optional. Atmosphere of cars is cool.“

“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“

“Sometimes a place hits just right. If you’re lucky you can get a table by the window for that epic 1st and Pike people watching. Get some braised brisket and appreciate. I liked the space with the exposed wood ceiling and old school windows. Service was timely and friendly. I look forward to coming back to try the baked fontina cheese dip appetizer or the fried bread pudding.“

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

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“Zig Zag Cafe is a Seattle institution. Live jazz, an incredible location that's both hidden but right on the waterfront, great food/drink, and a fun vibe? Hard to go wrong. I appreciated the variety of food and drink available and pretty much everything we received was good to delicious. Would come back for sure!“

“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.“

“Went for breakfast, was quiet with loads of available seating. Staff were super professional and polite. Breakfast menu was pretty extensive with lots of choice for everyone.
French toast was incredible, too much to finish, but tasted great, with coffee being topped up over and over.
Chilled vibe when I attended with some good service and great food, for breakfast at least definitely worth giving them a go, the dinner menu looks as tasty!“

“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!“

“Home of the Bills Backers of Seattle. All Buffalo Bills games televised and watched with the Mafia. Everybody is welcome! Whether you live in PNW or just passing through town, come catch a game and support this awsome establishment. Beautiful Lake Union is right across the street.“

“Great Eggs Benedict and Bloody Mary’s @brunch👍🏼👍🏼“

“Beautiful historic building, amazing food and great craft cocktails.“

“One of the coolest bars I've visited! The history of music and the local vibe in unbeatable, make sure and stop and get a drink, and tip your bartenders! Zoey (sp) was great, was there during a fifa match and the service was still on point!“

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

“Absolutely fantastic food as well as service!!“
