“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 — Vulpine Tap Room
Zach is an all-time professional in craft beverages — a longtime coffee competitor who brings a homey, fantastical, and deeply inviting energy to his team, his products, and this entire space. Every detail reflects care and creativity. Ten out of ten. A hundred out of ten. Could not recommend it enough.“

“Fabulous, not-so-hidden gem in my neighborhood. It’s lacking one star for food because it’s only small plates, but I was SO excited to discover upon returning from my first trip to Italy and experiencing aperitivo withdrawal that THEY HAVE SPRITZ! Apparently the owners recognized this stateside insufficiency during a recent trip, and brought it back with them. CLASS ACT. Thank you! This place is such a fun concept and perfect for a date.“

“The wine selection here is amazing and the bites you can get are so delicious. I still dream about the olives and charcuterie. All the servers are super knowledgeable and always help me find a wine I like. It’s worth the wait for a table, and you are always made to feel welcome while you wait with a glass of wine to pass the time. It is always a treat to come here with the atmosphere and the wine/food selection!“

“We look forward to a return to normal so we can enjoy this place more!“

“Was in Fremont for a show with some time to kill and we stumbled upon Mr.B's! Ezra was our server and they were fantastic. Gave us so much information on the mead and the business! The mead is also incredible and they have so many variations for everybodys pallets, from Brut to dessert. The meadery is small but so cozy and welcoming. They have a great outdoor area with some heaters for those colder nights too. Do not sleep on Mr.Bs! Come check them out ASAP.“

“What a breath of fresh air-RESPITE to say the least! We stepped into another world entirely, of beautiful folx and bottles. The wine was divine and the charcuterie couldn’t have made a fool of me! The evening light filtered onto our sticky fingers and toothy grins, as we drank our sorrows away and pondered the point of this crazy thing we call life.

What a rush! I felt valued, seen, and objectified in the best way possible.

That’s all for tonight.

“Vinnie’s Wine Shop is a hidden gem and one of my favorite spots to unwind on the weekend. It’s a small, cozy place with a laid-back vibe that instantly makes you feel at home. The wine selection is fantastic — they offer a wide variety from around the world, with something for every taste and budget. Whether you're a wine newbie or a seasoned enthusiast, the staff is super knowledgeable and always ready to help you find the perfect bottle or glass.

One of the best things about Vinnie’s is their Sunday oyster special — fresh oysters for only $2 each! Pair them with a crisp white wine or a sparkling rosé, and it’s honestly one of the best ways to spend a Sunday afternoon. The oysters are always fresh and beautifully served.

That said, there are a couple of things to be aware of: they automatically add a 20% gratuity to the bill without telling you, and there’s an extra $3 fee if you pay with a credit card. It makes sense in a way — it probably helps them offer the oyster deal — but it would be better if they were more upfront about it.

Still, the experience is worth it for the quality and cozy vibe.“

“Last night a small group of us celebrated my husband's 52nd birthday.

Since I was introduced to We Rise almost a year ago, this has been my go to place. The list of wines are amazing and the non alcoholic options are great.

Last night the staff was great. Rayna or Raina (sorry for the mis-spelling), they were on top of it along with the other staff (I did not get the other staff members name). I love the intimacy of the space, the food and the vibe.

My partner had a great time and we were able to introduced our friends to this spot. I hope We Rise has a long life as long as they want. This is definitely my go to place and I hope to be there more often.“

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

“From the moment our party walked in we were greated with a warm welcome. The service was prompt and non-invasive throughout the meal. Beverage program and wine selection is worth coming back for alone. Everything on the menu was DELICIOUS and I recommend getting there early to secure one of the Chicken Parms (only 10 available/night). I know I'll be back soon.“

“This was our first visit to Aluel's Queen Anne location, and it was everything we expected. Friendly, knowledgeable staff, comfortable atmosphere, and great wine. We'd even climb Queen Anne Hill for it--literally! (Don't worry, though. It's super easy to get Lyft in the neighborhood.)“

“Lovely little spot with a very nice owner who knows her stuff. I'm not a bubbles guy but I wanted to check it out and really enjoyed it. Highly recommend!“

“Valentina, the owner, is an absolute gem of a person. We came in looking for a place to sit, chat, and sip wine while we waited out the terrible traffic. Very knowledgeable about her product, she didn't hesitate to help me pair a wine with the food I ordered. As it was a quite evening I could also hear her talking with customers at the bar about the various wines she has. Valentina curates a warm, inviting atmosphere in her wine bar. She took the time to chat with us and inquire about the crafts we had with us. We will absolutely be back again!!“

“So first of all I would like to say if you grab a burger and fries from next door at Red Mill you are allowed to come inside here while you enjoy their enormous selection of cold beverages. Not only are they extremely helpful and knowledgeable but you have a huge selection. A very clean and inviting spot with an amazing view outside where the front is even open a nice day. Plenty of places to sit. Parking is a little tight so I tried to avoid right at lunch time.“

“I had the pleasure of joining Chris and his team to Canyon Vineyard Ranch. To call this trip magical would be an understatement. From the moment we arrived, we felt wrapped in warmth and welcome. Every detail was beautifully thought out—it felt like a five-star escape, with the coziest beds (the best sleep I’ve had all year!), divine homemade pasta, and wine that was perfection...as it always is!

But it was the people who made it unforgettable. Everyone was so kind, so genuine, and so fun—like being welcomed into a family.

Only Browne Family Winery could do this. I'm thankful every day I became a member.

Canyon Vineyard isn’t just a place; it’s an experience, a memory that lingers long after you leave. Pure magic. ✨🍷“

“Just great people working here and show up! The regulars have been coming here for years! stop by and have a blast! I've been coming here for a very long time. just not on a regular basis!“

“We LOVE McQueen!!! Fantastic bubbles, awesome atmosphere and super knowledegable!! Thanks for always giving us the BEST time, see you this Saturday!!!“

“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.“

“Love the vibe of the place so much“

“Loved, loved, LOVED this place! The gentleman and lady that served us were both spectacular and very good and making there rounds between what was a packed room. I really enjoyed getting to converse with both through out our visit. The wine was amazing as we tasted various whites and reds. Not sure what the deal was with puppies being in there with other customers but loved the fur babies too! If your a social butterfly I think you’ll love this atmosphere, so get over to Market Vineyards!“

“Macarons are a favorite food of mine. I’ve tried many macarons from many places. Those other macarons do not hold a candle to Lady Yum’s. Their macarons are actually on my top 10 list of favorite foods of all time. They make my soul happy. My husband picks me up some every time he travels to Seattle and although I miss him when he travels…I’m also kinda happy when he goes because he gets me treats from there.“

“Always a favorite for us. Great wine and great staff! We love to bring our kids too. We drink wine and order pizza next door for the kids. Kristina gave us great recommendations and made sure the kids were entertained with juice and coloring sheets.“

“Love the crew! Love the Wines! (yes, I pour wine here 1 day a week!) but still love it!“

“I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to taste Washington wine and cozy place.

This place is bit distant from the center of Capitol Hill that it was quiet, which I enjoyed very much.

Me and my company tried flights; tasted 4 different wines. The manager explained every bottle of wine nice and in detail. Overall, it was a great experience.“

“Gr8 place for music and fun“

“One of the only wineries I’ve been to that I liked ALL five of the wines I tried! Amazing atmosphere and food too! Will definitely be wine clubbing here once Covid restrictions for guest tastings are lifted! Loved it here!“

“Live the Cinsault this time and Sue is the best!!“

“Great food and wine. Wait staff ok.“

“We loved the frozen drinks! The vibe was chill, the staff were welcoming and friendly, and the food was tasty. We will be back!“

“An absolute gem in Seattle. Ben treated us like family. Extensive wine list of amazing area wines and a fantastic menu of snacks to accompany the wines. Great value and a relaxed atmosphere. A must do!!!!“

“I love Dusted Valley!! I’ve come for happy hour and for a live music night and every time it’s just as good. I really like sitting on the patio in the summer and bringing our dogs. The staff members are so nice and helpful, and the wine is top tier! Highly recommend the syrah especially.“

“Great sandwiches and salads for lunch (just try not to fill up on the yummy popcorn). I’ve also enjoyed their charcuterie boards and tasty wine selection. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Love this welcoming neighborhood spot!“

“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“

“Our wine pourer was epic. She knew all the things. The wine was solid. I will be going back.“

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

“We went to Amaro Bistro during Seattle Restaurant Week. My burrata antipasto was very tasty. The braised pork shank was tender and excellent. The panna cotta dessert was delicious. Everyone enjoyed their food and the Cuvee B Red Blend was also great!“

“I came here with a group of friends on a Saturday evening and we enjoyed a variety of drinks and food (including all of the pizzas). We sat at 8 and stayed basically until close, so it was very chill and relaxed. The food and drinks were all delicious!“

“The best macaroons I have ever tasted #bestofseattle“

“Been here many times, always fun !!!“

“I was in town for a special event, I haven't been here before and was amazed with every aspect of my experience. our server Charles was utterly fabulous. he was very knowledgeable, thoughtful and prompt. he made it feel like we were old friends. the steaks were perfectly cooked. I am 4 and 1/2 years sober, and to go out and enjoy an exquisite meal and only drink water can be a drag, but you all had an amazing selection of mocktails, my partners and I enjoyed immensely. I took the time to thank Charles for everything and got to meet Justin, letting him know how wonderful everything was. this will definitely be a regular stop anytime I visit.“

“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.“

“Our new go to place. Fantastic pies savory or sweet (the crust is homemade /!; just so flakey) and the wine is yummy too. It’s nice to be able to choice wine, beer or spirits.“

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

“I discovered U Wine Bar on a walk in the neighborhood, and was immediately interested because it's a wine bar, but then even more interested because it hosts Magic events! It's a great space, good wine, good non-alcoholic options and wonderful people. The owner is also fantastic and friendly and will probably beat you in a Commander game. The environment is relaxed, casual yet classy and I highly recommend for wine and/or Magic.“

“This was a nice place. Probably wouldn't pick it myself, but met some friends here. The food menu was weirdly put together but I got the chowder in a bread bowl, my wife got a burger and fries. Burger and fries was ok nothing special really. My chowder was cold, and our friends chowder was as well, they sent them both back. The drinks were good. If I go back it would probably be just for drinks.“

“If you only hit one spot in Seattle: go here. The pelmeni will send you to heaven and the owner is warm and welcoming. Turgenev vibes.“

“Have been wanting to come here for a while and finally came by for a pre-work coffee. The barista made my espresso perfectly and was great to chat with. The vibes in here are spectacular, not too loud, free Wi-Fi, and I love the upstairs seating area!

There weren’t many food options left but I think I just visited too late in the day!

Will definitely be back here very soon.“

“The food at Migaku is exquisite, and everything about the experience is crafted to highlight the food and enable you to appreciate it. We sat at the bar and enjoyed watching the chefs slice the fish and craft the nigiri sushi. The food, served course by course, and included traditional dishes as well as sushi, miso, chawanmushi, and beef. (The staff was very accommodating when we realized one member of our party wouldn't be able to eat the sauce on the beef dish. They prepared the beef grilled instead.) As a diner, you're part of the experience for the entire room, which means focusing on the food and gentle conversation (the chefs are happy to tell you about the dishes they're serving). The night we were there, all of the two- and four-person parties seemed quite tuned in to the serentity of the environment. It's a great way to appreciate food.“

“. Chopped cheese portions were meal-worthy, oklahoma single patty smash was moist and seasoned well.

. Pick-up order was kept in a warmer and taken out when I arrived on scene. The interior vibe seemed pretty cool (markety vibe)“

“Great expresso martini! Try 2!“
