New American Restaurants in Seattle, WA

“The food was phenomenal! Authentic, flavorful and so delicious. My mind was blown the whole night. Their mocktails and sweet tea are amazing! We will definitely be coming back!“

“This was the best dining experience EVER!! The chef and cook staff are amazing. It’s a small kitchen but what they create together is wicked good. No words are had to describe!! If you can get in, do yourself a favor and go💜“

“Fabulous venue for a Wedding ❤️“

“I’ve had one of the best fine dining experiences in Seattle here at Copine, even better than Canlis.

Seattle cuts loose to a lot of fine dining experiences, especially a lot of the restaurants here do not pay attention to detail, or service usually comes subpar. I would say Copine really focuses on the basics of making an experience for you, so it becomes a meaningful experience.

First and foremost, they have a great understanding of French cuisine. Everything tastes very delicate and well thought out. I definitely loved the steak and their meat dishes. I think the chef has way better understanding of cooking meat rather than seafood, so as someone who loves meat, this was an enjoyable meal.

How can I forget about their service! Their staff was thoroughly trained and very knowledgeable. I really loved all the wine pairings and hearing the thoughts behind. Service was above and beyond, and everyone was so kind to make my birthday dinner something special.

There are 2 fine dining restaurants I would recommend from now on: Copine and Cafe Juanita.“

“I cannot say enough amazing things about this place! It was recommended to me from a co- worker back at home. The attention to detail throughout was incredible.
The only negative comment would have is that when I ordered the El Gury the robe on the drink was a little dirty. While drink and presentation were a hit. Knowing my drink was wrapped in a stained koozie was a little meh. 🫤 I’m sure this gets used a lot. It didn’t take away from the experience. Just something I noted.
We will definitely come back. We LOVED it.“

“Lovely place. The food was okay but not spectacular. We had several dishes. Some were better than others. I love the octopus!. The dates were good, however they should have put the feta inside the dates as well because otherwise they were a little too sweet. Would return because they do change the menu all the time.“

“Extraordinary food. Great service!“

“Stateside was simply fun and excellent. A nice selection of cocktails, including a couple of nice NA cocktails. The food was innovative and delicious. We had the ribs, the sticky rice balls, and the trout. It was all excellent and and well presented. We will definitely go again our next time in Seattle!“

“Awesome food - service-atmosphere!!“

“Such an amazing restaurant, great staff and delish food.“

“Awesome breakfast. Fresh PNW mushrooms and Beechers cheddar in the omelet and fresh local strawberry jam“

“My friend & I were just walking around Seattle (putting our steps in) and randomly or spontaneously decided to walk in Lark on a Saturday without a reservation.
We weren’t positive that we would get a table and we were also embarrassingly underdressed for an upscale restaurant…
They were so warm and welcoming and sat us at the bar.
Service was kind, professional, accommodating, attentive (definitely enhanced our dining experience).
Food was tasty, well prepared, dessert was delicious, drinks were yum:).
The bartender was wonderful helping my friend select the type of drink he wanted.
Most of all, the ambiance was enjoyable (great selection of music).
It was an amazing experience overall.
Thank you team lark :))“

“I never actually sign into my account to rate places online, but this HAD to be done. Waitress was amazing, food was incredible, everything about it was a fantastic experience. 10/10 I will be coming back. Highly recommend the chicken Sammie“

“Interesting cushion of Asian spices/flavoring with western dishes.“

“Drinks = 5⭐ Totally stopped because of the name, drinks were amazing. We didn't eat, but don't forget to look at your receipt. So many fun things to see on that receipt. We kept it as a souvenir. I don't mean anything about the prices, I just mean keep your receipt and look at it. It's just those little details that make this place super fun.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Bummer, been going for years to all of her restaurants. Food is excellent, ambiance is five stars. However, for the first time I felt very unwelcome here. My server couldn’t get me outta there faster. I had two kids with me, but they didn’t act up or anything and we had a 5.15 seating. Our server asked me for my whole order with drinks, and when dinner was over asked me if I wanted my check before she asked about dessert. I literally started thinking “do I know her from somewhere else? And does she not like me for some reason?” I had to ask for my dessert to go, as it felt like she didn’t want me to eat it there. Restaurant wasn’t even full when we left. Will put some space between me and whale wins for a while 😥“

“Super fun hangout spot. Great shows downstairs.“

“Aaron and the team at Surrell are fantastic! We had a 25-person private reception in the back outdoor patio area, and from the beautiful space to the delicious food, it was a truly special experience. Aaron accommodated our requests for some customizations in decor, and took into account all of our food and dietary restrictions beautifully. Even though Surrell specializes in multi-course tasting menus, we chose to do a family-style dinner and it worked out perfectly. Our guests absolutely loved every dish (especially the hors d'oeuvres!), and we appreciate how attentive and friendly the staff were throughout the night. Harry was our main bartender/server and he was wonderful. Thank you again Aaron and team for such an amazing evening!“

“awesome food and awesome service“

“This is the loveliest little place that despite its delicious menu and incredible cocktails still feels kind of unknown. Even friends that have lived in WSea for years haven’t heard of its existence. Even though I’d like to keep it that way, I’d much rather have it succeed and never go away.

Also, got to meet one of the owners tonight, super nice guy with very kind friends. The bathroom even has VIP club-style amenities like toothpicks, mints and lotion. We ❤️ Locöl.“

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

“Nell’s is by far a gem of the Northwest. Their food and service have always been amazing and we just found their quarantine take out is no different. It’s one of those all time favorites where you have fun just reading the menu and then are giddy waiting for your meal. A must try venue that we are grateful to have in Greenlake!“

“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.“

“Amazing staff and Tommy Patrick is a wonderful host.“

“👍👍👍👍👌👌👋👋👋👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“Their food is some of the best in Seattle. If you haven’t been there, you need to go and experience 84 Yesler. On par with the finest dining around.“

“The food here is fantastic.“

“If I lived in Seattle def would be my go to restaurant. Amazing service and incredible food. Highly recommend the Dutch Baby. Salmon Salad Sandwich and French Onion Soup! Do you deliver to Ohio?? 😁“

“Disappointed in dinner yesterday. Took my mom out to eat, had the lamb kofta and chicken. Both were not good. The kofta was cool in the middle and the chicken was tough & dry. The lettuce was brown, black, and wilted throughout. I think they were rushing to switch from lunch to dinner and just threw anything together. Completely terrible experience.“

“What an incredibly unique dining experience! The Derby and The Shop offers something you won’t find anywhere else in Seattle - the chance to dine surrounded by classic cars in their storage area. We hosted a private party here and were blown away by both the atmosphere and the food.
The venue is perfect for special events. The car storage setting creates an unexpectedly cool and fun backdrop that had our guests talking all night. It’s industrial yet welcoming, making for great conversation starters and photo opportunities.
The food definitely lived up to the unique setting. The appetizers during our cocktail hour were excellent quality and well-presented. For dinner, the chicken and waffles were absolutely outstanding - perfectly crispy chicken with fluffy waffles that hit all the right notes. The bulgogi lettuce wraps were another standout, offering fresh, flavorful Korean-inspired bites with tender, well-seasoned meat.
Service was attentive throughout our event, and the staff handled our private party seamlessly. If you’re looking for a memorable dining experience that combines great food with an automotive twist, The Derby and The Shop delivers. Highly recommended for anyone wanting something different from the typical Seattle restaurant scene.“

“America’s 1st all vegetable based Fast Food burger joint. Tasted great, a wonderful variety of add-ons and sauces 😋 . Didn’t try the shakes, but they looked marvelous and a friend highly recommended the Peanut-butter shake!“

“Frank's is my favorite place in town to get oysters on the half-shell. The vibe is warm, relaxed, and welcoming. The bread with ash butter and sea salt is a favorite. The oysters are fresh, plump, and succulent. The champagne mignonette is flavorful and delicate so as not to outdo the oysters. We tried a seasonal dessert: nectarine, rose, and pistachio pavlova. Everything is delicious. Finally, the service is impeccable. We always feel special when we are here and we can't wait to visit again soon!“

“Really fun place and fantastic staff. We've had dinner here a few times and always has been good. On our last visit however, the smoked chicken Cesar Salad had barely chicken and the chicken wasn't smoked. The pork shank was good though.“

“for me, Rays is my favorite restaurant ever. everything is at the top of perfection“

“Best restaurant in the greater seattle area, friendly service and great food!!!“

“Had the best lunch today! I had the halibut sandwich and hubby had the tuna sandwich! Dominic was one of the best servers I’ve ever come across! And we travel a lot.“

“If I could give this place ten stars, I would! The food and drinks are the best on the block but it’s just a compliment to the great people who work there. No matter how busy it is they never forget you and make you feel right at home.“

“Fun, romantic, dinner spot!

They have an eclectic menu and make great cocktails.

Beautifully decorated, chic, & high quality food and drinks.

Will be coming back next time we’re in town!“

“This review pertains to a private event we booked at Brimmer & Heeltap. The event was for a college in the midwest to meet with alumni in Seattle. Emma was great to work with to plan our event, especially when our registration exceeded our expectations. They allowed us to use the patio as well for a short time until we were ready to be seated for the program. The food suggestions were wonderful and received many compliments from our guests. Dana took care of us during the event and was personable, helpful to our guests and especially great at continuing to be attentive during our program without being a distratction.
It is a little scary to plan an event long-distance with only pictures to decide if the space is a good fit for the event. Emma and the staff were a huge part in its success.“

“Absolutely fantastic food as well as service!!“

“Great private room for my birthday celebration“

“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“

“visited the Eve of April 2, 2021: Our server was delightful she was warm and offered suggestive drink psirings that were spot on for what we were looking for to compliment our food. The food was absolutely delicious, and the environment very inviting. The whole evening was a lovely experience. I will definitely be back.“

“Great Eggs Benedict and Bloody Mary’s @brunch👍🏼👍🏼“

“Welcome back to the neighborhood! We missed you.“

“Great pizza, great drinks and beer selection, and a cool, dark, macabre atmosphere.“
