“outstanding food and service“

“The peanut butter cookie was amazing!!! The best bakery peanut butter cookie I have ever had outside my grandma’s!“

“Great food and even better staff and owner- very accommodating and friendly!“

“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 cannot say enough amazing things about this place! It was recommended to me from a co- worker back at home. The attention to detail throughout was incredible.
The only negative comment would have is that when I ordered the El Gury the robe on the drink was a little dirty. While drink and presentation were a hit. Knowing my drink was wrapped in a stained koozie was a little meh. 🫤 I’m sure this gets used a lot. It didn’t take away from the experience. Just something I noted.
We will definitely come back. We LOVED it.“

“Food was amazing highly recommend“

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

“I love everything about Harry’s- it’s our first choice when we dream of eating out. Love the neighborhood vibe, scrumptious food and drinks that never disappoint, and of course- the service. I am happy to spend our hard-earned money for a meal out when it makes the mark. Harry’s isn’t perfect every time - no human powered endeavor is. But more often than not, Harry’s is PERFECT and we live to support them.“

“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!“

“Really very devious food service. Highly RecommendedRecomanded“

“Great food, fantastic servers and bartenders. Super friendly neighborhood restaurant but also worth a drive if you don’t live close by!“

“This place is Real, Real Good!! Steak salad is delicious and black and blue burger is next level. Highly recommend. Especially if Taymor is working. Exceptional service.“

“In the commercial construction industry, we start early. It is hard to find restaurants that have Decent, handmade, breakfast gravy, and well prepared foods. These are hard workers and they take time and care with your breakfast order
I recommend them highly
Conveniently located on Aurora Avenue with a parking lot in the back if it’s busy
Great job sunrise!“

“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!“

“Nick's is a wonderful neighborhood joint with an unpretentious menu that offers a range of staples (a burger, a fish, a steak, a vegetable option) but with seasonal tweaks that make it fresh and delicious. Full bar and nice wines. It's a great spot!“

“Incredible service!! So great for a special occasion. Felt like Michelin star quality. The salad lived up to the hype and the pork belly was really yummy. Nathan was a terrific server. We had an amazing birthday dinner“

“We love The Cottage for many reasons. :) The people, the food/drinks and the music!!“

“I stopped in for a last minute brunch and they were able to get me seated really quickly. I had the chicken fried steak and it was great! The warm bread while I waited was an unexpected, but nice surprise. You don’t see that a lot in the PNW. The service was excellent and very attentive. I will be back!“

“The best dinner we've had in years! We shared the Rib-eye , WOW I will be dreaming about those little potatoes too..“

“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.“

“Love it. I will go back and recommend“

“Stopped here on a whim with a friend. We had their "Chicken Fried Steak" and their "Swedish Crepes"
The food was amazing. And their "homemade blackberry butter" (included with the crepes, and I got it as a side for my english muffin) blew my mind. Two meals and coffee cost us about 45 with tip.“

“This was the best dining experience EVER!! The chef and cook staff are amazing. It’s a small kitchen but what they create together is wicked good. No words are had to describe!! If you can get in, do yourself a favor and go💜“

“I have eaten at Toulouse Petit many times. It is my husband and I's favorite spot. We have tried many items on the menus and have never walked away unsatisfied. The food is always amazing, the service is kind, and it’s just a place I love coming back to. If you’ve never been, you should definitely check it out. It’s one of Seattle’s best.“

“Quick service, nice staff, a bit too loud, but I am usually hypersensitive to noise. They do have an outdoor alternative that could use some warming poles now that the weather is cold. Overall, we enjoyed it and the food was ok.“

“This is my go to place! Great for breakfast, lunch or dinner! Love the owner, the staff and the food. Jay's Cafe is super consistent and always happy to customize your order.“

“BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII ts mango soo tuff“

“I have been coming here for over 20 years : when I lived in Seattle and when I visit. We came today after going to MoPOP. We wanted a chill atmosphere with guaranteed good food. I always order the Reuben or soup. Today, they had vanilla cider. So wonderful!

They have GF Macrina Ancient Grains Bread! I haven’t had an actual
Sandwich in a restaurant in ages, but today, it was not only GF it was delicious! So good I ordered one to take home.

Go for the good food, good atmosphere, very friendly service and cozy feeling.

Parking: Be sure to plan to walk a little. It’s difficult to tell when parking will be available near the restaurant. We don’t mind walking a few blocks. It’s worth every step.“

“we flew in late so were starving this morning. The staff were so inviting and friendly the food was absolutely delicious!!! Large portions. Will definitely be back!!“

“Sat for 25 minutes without any server acknowledging (giving a menu, smiling, nothing) our table of 5 right in the middle of the bar. Very rude and could have been a very nice tip. Also, if you waited at the bar for a drink the bartender told you to take a seat at a table and wait for a server...ha! Ya right!“

“Me and my family visited here after Snowflake Lane last night on Christmas Eve and they were able to accommodate 8 of us. The ambiance was pleasant, the drinks were amazing, and the food was excellent! My husband and I are vegan and they had several choices. I would highly recommend it here. A little pricey but worth it!“

“I ordered the crispy/spicy and had the best lunch I have had in months! The size and quality of the chicken is fantastic along with the flavor. I am already looking forward to my next visit to this food truck....“

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

“Delicious food, great presentation, great atmosphere, great people, great mission. We had the chorizo potato & egg burrito, the sausage egg & cheese sandwich, creamy tomato soup with exquisite bread and honey butter, and chocolate croissant — everything better than the last. Definitely coming back.“

“Definitely made our first night in Seattle perfect. Fresh ingredients with great taste. Awesome staff and laidback atmosphere. Check it out if you haven’t!“

“Reubens brews has a food truck outside called Reubens Eats. It has a short menu, prices are a bit high and portions are a bit small. The taste is good although it takes a while for food to come out sometimes (even when it's not busy). It's nice to have the option there most of the time.“

“Extraordinary food. Great service!“
