“TS SO TUFF IN OHIO“

“Fantastic food and drinks. They have an eclectic and unique menu, very yummy, plus local/regional spirts/wine/beer. Only qualifier is it's counter service and you have to order food separate from drinks, so it's a little lo-fi on the experience. But still great casual place that leaves you not just satisfied but happy. Also it is very clean, including the restrooms.“

“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!“

“This place was a lot more hip and laid back than I was expecting based on their website. All of the dishes were creative and well prepared. The staff is friendly and down to earth. The patio vibes are divine, and we were even paid a visit by the owner’s cat who was an actual angel on earth. We would absolutely
be regulars here if we lived locally.“

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

“This might be my favorite bar in the whole world. Their drinks are so innovative in presentation especially. The drinks are expensive but they are good quality and you’re paying for the whole experience. Like the towels in the bathroom. And the old apothecary soap dispensers. And the old radio show playing in the bathroom. It’s a vibe and it’s worth it.“

“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!“

“Nick's was a delightful stop on my Madison walkabout. Service at the bar was attentive and helpful, and my shrimp cocktail tangy and fresh. Drinks were solid as well. The bar seats could maybe use a refresh though. Vibes inside were definitely neighborhood focussed - felt like Nick's is a local favorite.“

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

“Great food“

“I’ve been coming here since 2019 and have genuinely never had a bad experience. It’s easily one of my favorite spots in Seattle and definitely a go-to in Belltown! The food, drinks, service, music, and overall vibe are always consistently good. Their nachos are one of my favorites, and my husband and I will often stop in just to grab some drinks and share an order. After all these years, it’s still one of those places I know I can count on for good food, good drinks, and a great atmosphere!“

“Perfect atmosphere and exceptional service and food ❤️❤️❤️“

“LOVED this spot. And the recommendation by Tom was 🔥🔥🔥🔥 definitely coming back!“

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

“Fantastic find! Great food and atmosphere.“

“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!“

“Had a great dinner our first night in Seattle!“

“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.“

“Really very devious food service. Highly RecommendedRecomanded“

“Great Richmond Beach eatery over many years 👌“

“I love 74th and would never knock them down a star, but I do have one plea about the burger: the giant, hard bread just doesn’t work with it! The burger itself is great, but the bread makes it really difficult to eat. Can we please get regular soft bread as an option?! 🙏“

“😍Amazing brunch & BEST ETHIOPIAN FOOD I HAVE EVER HAD - staff is spectacular!!!“

“Such a gem of a spot!

The food was absolutely amazing, and you can tell they care about the details because everything was incredibly clean and spotless. I fell in love with the layout and open concept of this place. It gives the whole place such a bright, welcoming, and inclusive vibe. To top it all off, the staff are total sweethearts and made us feel so welcome the second we walked in. Most speak Spanish as well! It was definitely worth the trip, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit! Yum!“

“Extraordinary food. Great service!“

“Wow! Our party of four enjoyed terrific cocktails and appetizers including the delectable bread and butter, mushrooms, and peppers. And THE ENTREES. Duck confit and pork ribs to die for. Great decor, friendly unrushed service. Check it out!“

“One of our favorite places in Seattle to eat and chill.“

“We celebrated our anniversary at 2120 and it was one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Seattle. The cocktails alone are worth the visit. The Old Fashioned was phenomenal, but the true standout was the Tequila Pho cocktail. I’ve never had anything like it—it genuinely tasted like you were drinking a bowl of fresh pho in the best possible way. It may honestly be our new favorite cocktail ever. The food was outstanding from start to finish. The oysters were, without question, the best we’ve ever had, and we’ve tried oysters all over the country. The smoked salmon crudo was incredibly fresh and beautifully prepared. My oxtail pappardelle was rich, flavorful, and perfectly executed, while my wife absolutely loved the Thai coconut curry with scallops. To finish the evening, 2120 surprised us with an amazing anniversary dessert featuring warm donuts, fresh chocolate cream, and caramel sauce, along with a celebratory glass of champagne. It was a thoughtful touch that made an already memorable evening even more special. A huge thank you to our server, James, who made the entire experience exceptional with his outstanding service, attention to detail, and warm personality. Thank you to the entire team at 2120 for helping us celebrate our anniversary in such a memorable way. If you’re looking for an exceptional dining experience in Seattle, whether for a special occasion or simply a fantastic meal, I highly recommend 2120. We will absolutely be back.“

“Great spot!! Everything was fantastic. Stopped by on my way out of the city, and am glad I did. Service was fast and courteous, food ( I ordered Bob's breakfast) was delicious, and just the right portion. Definitely worth a return trip..“

“Little known gem very worthwhile checking out. Super tasty menu items. Be sure to ask for a glass of their exclusive, custom-label Pancho Villa Cab (by Barrage Cellars).“

“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“

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

“We love Brianna’s Cafe! My youngest has a food allergy and the staff there went above and beyond to make sure she could have food that was safe for her, the food is great and the pie is delicious!!“

“Decided to stopped in the Attic Restaurant/sport bar for a bite to eat on yesterday.
Gotta say that this was definitely a great decision, we weren't disappointed.
The food and the customer service were above excellent, in fact it was outstanding 👌 👏
Always love it when you can walk through the door of any establishment and automatically being greeted by a customer friendly staff.
It's almost like they know you and appreciate that you took the time to stop by.
The server quickly brought us menu's water and a great big ear to ear smile.
My wife order the fish & chip while I orderd the (Attic Luch Special) French Dip sandwich with aju dipping sauce.
Both where exceptionally flavorful with every mouthwatering bite.
The fish was lightly batter and seasoned to personally perfection, combine with the homemade tarter sauce and coleslaw......WOW....!
The French Dip sandwich was simply over the top, when it comes to the definition of deliciousness......!
Tender and properly sliced, season with caramelized onions and melted provolone cheese............!
The baguette roll was warm and super soft, sliced in half perfectly sized for dipping.
And the aju dipping sauce, ok that a YES all day and every day....!
The clam chowder was a creamy spoon full of incredible yummyness, simply the best that I've ever eaten....
Actually orderd a bowl to go......!
Absolutely no doggy bag needed, we both joyfully cleaned our plates.....Lol
Ultimately this place presents a warm welcoming dinning experience, definitely worthy of another visit..........!“

“Love it. I will go back and recommend“

“Visiting Seattle came across this pub great place“

“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.“

“We looooooove the food! The dishes were sooo unique and delicious. The menu had a hint of filipino food. Don’t even get me started on the awesome lumpia! The oxtail mac and cheese was to die for. The owner was so welcoming. We enjoyed the drinks, food, and the cleanliness of the place. Highly recommend! We definitely will be back.“

“After living in Seattle for many years, my husband and I can confidently say that Haerfest is our favorite restaurant in the city. The manager David and Chef Austin never fail to provide the best service, food, and atmosphere for a wonderful dinner experience. If you sit at the chef's counter, you can see the intentionality and care they put into preparing each dish. From drinks, to starters, to pastas, to desserts, they have always hit the mark for us. They consistently look to improve on their dishes and try out new things (while keeping the staples), which was always exciting for us as regulars since we could get our favorites as well as try new dishes each time we visited. David and the servers have always made us feel so welcome and cared for. We couldn't recommend this restaurant more, whether you're looking to have a date night, celebration, or normal weeknight dinner with great company and a great vibe. Also...be sure to order the tonnarelli - it's the best!!“
