In a pinch it'll dooooo 💩“

“After getting turned away from a nearby bar for lack of ID, some friends and I randomly wandered into this place Canon—and honestly? The rejection did us a favor.

This bar serves the most outrageously fantastic, creative cocktails in Seattle. Bold, clever, and absolutely showing off (as they should).

The vibe? Classic old world. Moody, intimate, effortlessly cool. And just when you think it can’t get better, there’s an old-timey radio broadcast playing in the bathroom. Yes. The bathroom. Because commitment to ambiance and details matter. The food was delicious, the straws are glass, and the water glasses are crystal. A bit more $$ but worth every extra dime.

I loved this place unapologetically and would 100% go back. A must-visit, no hesitation.“

“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!“

“👍🏾😊 Love Farestart! Guest Chef Night with graduation is so good!“

“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.“

“Great neighborhood location to eat on Queen Anne.“

“Great service, good food. Only complaint is they charged $4 more for my burrito than the menu price. She asked what filling I'd like and told me the options, and I choose carne asada. She didn't tell me it was extra though it did say it on the menu. I just hadn't seen it and I wish she had told me. Otherwise great experience.“

“Creative menu, always well prepared.“

“Oak has a dedicated vegan menu & all vegan desserts, which was a huge plus! The staff was friendly & we didn’t have a long wait. The portions were large and the food was delicious! I would go back! My only cons were the prices- a little on the high side (but isn’t everything anymore? Plus they take care of their staff which is great!) It was also a little darker than I normally like (mood lighting) and a tad noisy.“

“Everything was delicious! We will definitely be recommending Circa to all of our friends.“

“We had an anniversary celebration here with family and got seated in the tent room-perfect since we met at camp and our first kiss was in a tipi. It was a vibe and so fun. Our waiter was very attentive and chatted it up with us. Apps and cocktails were delish and our entrees were good. Definitely order the S'mores-it just completes the whole experience.“

“Overall, another excellent experience at Jak's!! Our server, Paige, was exceptional...efficient, friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu! Our food had a mixed review..The country fried steak was delicious, as always, and the French Dip sandwich was the best! The person who had the French Dip couldn't stop raving about it! The steak salad and steak and eggs were good but both diners felt the steak in both dishes was tough, not the norm for Jak's. All four diners will definitely return, love the new home!!“

“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!!“

“Absolutely epic source for all thing’s DELICIOUS! We are obsessed with the Pate en Croute, meat pies, every flavor sausage, and their perfectly aged cuts of locally sourced meat!“

“I was here for an appointment and the person I was meeting was late, so I popped in and grabbed a coffee. Sat at the bar and was treated just as well as I expected . I went to pay for my coffee and the Barista told me it was on the house. Came back a second time and got the eggs benedict“

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

“It's the location the People, the beauty of the property and did we mention the PEOPLE, who go above and beyond and that's rare these days. We have business in Seattle on occasion and Love the Fairmont Olympic. This Classy Spot reminds us of what upscale but not pretentious is supposed to be. We will be back in town my wife to do her KING5 Segment and hope they can accommodate us.“

“New restaurant, good food on Alki!“

“TS SO TUFF IN OHIO“

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

“When we lived nearby, my boyfriend and I used to go almost every week, and it’s the restaurant that we miss the most after moving. Their burgers are very good but the garlic pull-apart and the chicken wings are amazing! We also rarely got disappointed from the changing menu. Chili, chicken Parmesan, Cuban sandwich, lamb chop, tuna two ways, just to name a few memorable dishes. The consistency is pretty impressive. For the high quality of food, it’s also very reasonably priced!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Nice place to seat back and relax“

“Beautiful historic building, amazing food and great craft cocktails.“

“Gnudi and Black and Blue Tart were amazing. Swordfish was not worth the $42.“
