“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.“

“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 💩“

“I totally forgot to take food photos because I was so excited to catch up with friends, but everything here was fantastic! The drinks and dishes were all unique and flavorful. As a farm-to-table restaurant, their vegetables and meats tasted incredibly fresh. I usually don’t order cocktails, but I loved their gin & tonic—perfect balance of bitterness, sweetness, and aroma. The old fashioned was also great with very rich whiskey flavor. The space is kid- and dog-friendly, and there’s plenty of parking. I’ll definitely be back to try more of their menu!“

“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.“

“The Attic is my favorite neighborhood hang. Everyone here is incredible—especially Nick and Rodney and Ernesto and really all the staff. They are friendly, attentive, and always make me feel like a regular. I live in Madison Park and make it to the Attic frequently, especially on Thursdays. I'm scared to say how great DJ Friday and Ella are at karaoke in fear the crowd will grow, but currently it's our favorite place to go sing some songs, have drinks, and always food. I've even tried brunch here and it was great! Breakfast sandwiches, pancakes, egg Benedict, salads all good.

We're so glad The Attic is back to being a perfect place to grab a bite with friends, watch a game, sing karaoke, and have celebratory drinks after an event.“

“Amazing food and cocktails! Great friendly service. Highly recommend.“

“I headed to Greenwood for some gumbo at 74th Street Ale House. I have had this dish and have often cooked it many times. It is a complex but flavorful dish with many ingredients, but the key is the roux. Flour, olive oil and canola oil are sloooowly browned and thickened. When the roux is ready a pile of vegetables, meats, and spices are added to the pot with broth. The mixture then simmers on low heat for hours. When ready, the gumbo is served over rice. 74th Street is the master! This bowl was as delicious as ever. I also had some delicious, spiced nuts as an appetizer. The service was slow.“

“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!“

“Great home cooking and some specialties. Friendly and fast service. We loved it!“

“Friendly staff, great food at very reasonable prices. Worth the trip!“
