“Local 104 – A Slice of Culinary Excellence.

From the moment you step into Local 104, you’re greeted with an inviting warmth that feels equal parts neighborhood charm and elevated comfort.

The ambiance strikes a perfect balance, cozy enough for a casual night out, yet polished enough to impress on a date or special occasion.

The service here is a masterclass in hospitality. Attentive without hovering, the staff exude genuine enthusiasm for the food they serve and the guests they welcome. It’s the kind of place where your water glass never runs dry, and your questions are met with thoughtful recommendations rather than rehearsed scripts.

Now, let’s talk pizza. Local 104 doesn’t just serve pizza, they celebrate it. Each pie arrives with a crust kissed by fire, achieving that elusive crispy perfection that crackles under your bite. The flavors are bold and unapologetic with a smoky char, vibrant tomato, and toppings that sing in harmony rather than compete. It’s a pizza that demands your full attention and rewards it.

The antipasto plate is no supporting act. It’s a standout in its own right, offering a curated spread of cured meats, marinated vegetables, and cheeses that feel both rustic and refined. Every bite is a journey, and together with the pizza, it creates a meal that’s both satisfying and memorable.

Even the restrooms reflect the restaurant’s commitment to excellence, spotless, well-stocked, and thoughtfully maintained. It’s a small detail, but one that speaks volumes about the care poured into every aspect of the experience.

Local 104 isn’t just a place to eat, it’s a place to savor. Whether you’re a die-hard pizza aficionado or simply seeking a meal that leaves you smiling long after the last bite, this spot delivers in spades.“

“Everything!! Well maybe not the licor de hierbas. I’m gallega, A Coruña, and I went to try it out anticipating it was not going to be good or authentic. I have to admit I was very wrong, I loved it! Highly recommend it and surely be back. Thank you Pilar for giving me the flavors of my childhood!“

“Always amazing! The atmosphere, the service, the food. My favorite place in the area.“

“Can’t visit Seattle without having dinner here! ❤️“

“Excellent date night place! Service was attentive, but not overbearing, food was excellent (Shout out to the oysters, octopus, and brûlée) and the ambience was relaxing, with enough design and elegance to provide structure, but not stuffiness.“

“Amazing, will go back in the next trip to Seattle“

“Great tasting menu with unique flavors.“

“A Luxe Espresso Martini at an Unbeatable Price

I had the pleasure of indulging in an exquisite Espresso Martini during happy hour at Bellevue Square Nordstrom, where all signature cocktails are just $10—a steal for the quality and experience offered.

This martini was a masterpiece, marrying the rich, bold flavors of freshly brewed espresso with the smooth sophistication of premium vodka. The touch of coffee liqueur added a subtle sweetness and depth, while the frothy crema crowned with three iconic espresso beans made for a stunning presentation.

Each sip was a balance of indulgent creaminess and refreshing chill, delivering a luxurious cocktail experience at a fraction of the price you’d expect for such craftsmanship. The happy hour pricing made this already impressive drink even more satisfying, transforming a quick stop into a highlight of the evening.

At just $10, the Espresso Martini at Bellevue Square Nordstrom is not only a delightful treat but an incredible value—perfect for winding down a shopping day or kicking off an elegant night out.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Best Thai food I’ve ever had outside of…Thailand! Fresh, bold flavor combinations are a wonderful mix of traditional and modern. Huge menu and absolutely outstanding staff. Very accommodating for allergies. Energetic atmosphere, high ceilings and a very cool vibe. Highly recommend!“

“This is a hidden gem! I randomly walked in and after I watched Jane work in the kitchen I was extremely disappointed that I had already eaten. The food looked and smelled phenomenal. I had envy for sure watching others enjoy their food. Jane was so nice and welcoming. I had a great time chatting with her and her staff, including Chase. I can’t wait to visit Seattle again and try her food! It’s on the top of my list! Thank you Jane and team.“

“Best Restaurant in Seattle! Cocktails, Apps, Pasta, Protein ♥️♥️♥️♥️“

“Excellent place for food and the place is very lively.“

“Wonderful place where meat eaters and vegans can delight in a delicious meal. Great wine section and craft cocktails. Quaint wine shop to bring something home or scoop a gift for a friend on the way to the party. Be sure to try the butter pickles!“

“Nice selection of beers, lots of outdoor seating . Should check it out“

“Had a great time at this bar, the interior was really awesome, a spooky, eerie vibe! Loved it and definitely recommend stopping in for a drink!“

“los tacos de xicama están delicioso“

“Wonderful service and the food is absolutely delicious. Prepare for a possible wait if you don’t have reservations but go next door and enjoy an incredible cocktail while you wait. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Atendimento e acolhimento exemplar! Gastronomia deliciosa! Música ao vivo aconchegante! Lugar que inspira a paz, tranquilidade e satisfação!“

“Always have a great meal here! The special tonight was a chorizo cioppino with king crab. So good!“

“First time visiting. Great food and adult beverage selection. Very chic in an old world way. Highly recommend. Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly“

“We recently stopped by this place and enjoyed a few cocktails. They were so interesting and fun. I was impressed with the cocktail - “She is Beauty, She is Grace” it was such a beautiful drink. My husband had the “Gonna Get Chip Faced” - we loved the snacks we had too.

The atmosphere was super lively!

The bar tenders were awesome, I only caught one name though - thanks Olive for the great time!

We will be back and highly recommend this spot in the future!“

“Amazing cocktail bar focused on the wide variety inherent in Amari - think things like Aperol and Campari and Montenegro and Averna and many many others, each unique, with a few loose styles. Jeff the bartender uses his encyclopedic knowledge of the range of Amari to craft inventive cocktails. Even if you aren’t normally a bitter palate person give it a go.“

“The wine was good, but unfortunately the happy hour value was very disappointing. For $16, we didn’t even get three small pieces of cheese , definitely not worth it. I’d rather pay full price and have something enjoyable to pair with my glass of wine.“

“This is a long overdue review. We like to go to the DeLille tasting room and then step over for dinner at this place. Their food is very tasty and their service is awesome. We went there and happened to sit at the bar. Both Lucio and Cole were great, Cole's recommendations for dinner were amazing. If you are in the area we highly recommend you stop by to enjoy this great restaurant“

“One of the best meals in recent memory. Perfect service. Food so special that you could swear you were somewhere on the coast of Italy. 20 years ago I used to dine here. It hadn’t changed. What a beautiful evening!“

“The Queen Anne How to Cook a Wolf is consistent in being excellent. The food is always prepared to perfection. The ingredients are well sourced. The atmosphere is lovely. The staff is incredibly friendly without being intrusive. It's my favorite neighborhood restaurant and one of my top 3 in Seattle.“

“Love this Ole Cafe! Fantastic place to meet new friends and speak Spanish. Great vibes and I am still thinking about the incredible depth of conversation I had in Spanish. The coffee and delicious torta is a bonus!“

“Great atmosphere, light fare and wine/beer selection. Live music was lovely“

“Délectable. North africanan delishessness.“

“Cheerful, prompt service, great food, and a nice view of the Sound from the outdoor seating area, which is kept pleasantly warm in the cold months. The train is RIGHT THERE at times, a little noisy for a few minutes at a time, but no big deal if you're patient. There's a wide variety on the menu, something for all tastes. And the bartender made an exemplary Martini, to boot. Demitri's will be in our regular rotation for a meal out.“

“found a little gem near work. this place has a great selection of lunch menu including burgers, pasta, soup and salad all freshly made. tried the dijon chicken pasta and i ended up licking the bowl clean.forgot to take pictures of the food but outside is a nice courtyard with apparent hatred towards corgis...“

“Delicious authentic food and drinks are good. Great service by everyone !!!“

“Food and service both were excellent Service was professional while serving & taking order. Food here is delicious biryani, chili chicken everything was perfect 👌🏻 had a good experience . I am sure I will make a plan to come back soon“

“Great place! The service was great with the staff being friendly, always around, but not intrusive. I was there for a group event by the fireplace, so not sure if the table service is like that, but from what I saw everything was on point.

The food was great and I enjoyed the upscale, but relaxing atmosphere. Looking forward to going back again.“

“My wife and I always enjoy the atmosphere and scenery. The pretzel is really good.“

“Great service and very good food. Lovely outdoor patio.“

“This is the best hookah lounge in WA, I've been to a lot of busy hookah lounges before, but this one is in a different league...
They have the best hookahs and the service is great you can feel that the guys are working out of love and passion... No robotic vibes here.
They also have a ton of flavors, Russian tobacco, Indian/Pakistani blends, and they’re always bringing in new ones. You never get bored or stuck on the same flavor because there’s always something fresh and new to try.“

“We are Marriott owners and love their properties …“

“Ok I have been really wanting to try this place for years now and we finally went in. Food was tasty, the fish and chips would have been recommended because they were decent pieces , however if they weren't burnt on areas, I think they would be amazing. Foodie tip, their tartar sauce was delicious, and the if you mixed it with the Cole slaw with the tartar... yummy. Like the Old Long John's Silver recipe. Nachos were ample with really good flavors Liked like a decent size burger, but very tasty fries. Tasted the light beers, including the Mexican version 😋 Honesty, better than some brewery versions. Would like to go again and see if those fish could be done better. The service was decent, nice guys who ended up going the extra mile for a missed item. 👍🏼 Definitely worth going back. Like I said, the only downer was the burnt fish, but they still Taste good.“

“The food is ok. Nothing extra ordinary, but its really difficult for me to understand why they add 18% tips by default. Even for group of 4 or just one person for that matter. Price of food really on higher side with minimum quantity. Another thing is you cant split a bill. So on one table they only accept one credit card. This place is not for celebrating with friends for that reason.“

“Great experience each and every visit! Creative menu that always offers new options as well as standard favorites“

“my new favorite resturant 😋“

“Stayed in the Hilton here attached to the restaurant and had breakfast here every morning. Ramon made our experience so enjoyable. He was our server almost everyday we were there. If he wasn't our server he was making sure we got pristine service. I work in the food service industry and people like him make all the difference. Thanks again Ramon for being amazing!!

“We spent some time at the bar enjoying the experience of an excellent aperitif.
Alex, the bartender, is something more than a genius. He creates dozens of different bases for cocktails & Co.
Really hope to come back!!!!
STRONGLY SUGGESTED.“

“I picked this restaurant for my Birthday dinner 1st time and was ready to hit it again with a friend of mine the next week. I loved everything we ate, the cocktails are delicious, so many details to the food. The chef is phenomenal. I feel like all the dishes are thought out in flavors and seasons! I highly recommend the S'mores dessert is incredible!! I think I found my favorite neighborhood restaurant!“
