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.“

“My fiance and I went here for a few cocktails and had a wonderful time. Our bartender was Brandon and he was wonderful. The whole staff was very sweet and accommodating. Some cocktail bars give off the too good for you vibe and Canon does an amazing job of making it feel like a normal bar with amazing cocktails! Thanks for a wonderful evening!“

“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!“

“Awesome food - service-atmosphere!!“

“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?? 😁“

“Overall, really good experience. Our waitress was funny and engaging. I forget her name but we talked about New Jersey. 5 stars for her all the way. The food was really good but I can't give it a five just because of the waffle. It tasted like it had been sitting around and not hot out of the waffle iron. The eggs (scramble) was really good but the waffle was just missing the mark. I would definitely go back though and try them again.“

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

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

“Seasonal and local faire thoughtfully presented by a knowledgeable staff. Food was delicious and beverages were paired perfectly.“

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

“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!“

“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 service, food, drinks and atmosphere. I was pleasantly surprised coming to this bar to have a couple drinks before a concert. Food and drinks came out super fast and were very tasty! Definitely recommend the S.T.F.U. drink and the Pork Belly Banh Mi Tacos.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 😥“

“awesome food and awesome service“

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

“good coffee and reasonable price“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Delicious food, fun vintage roomy space, public house feel, friendly“

“The food here is fantastic.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“We visited Radiator Whiskey for our wedding anniversary and had a delightful time. The bone marrow was especially amazing, and the server made us feel very comfortable and even readily helped with a minor substitution we requested. Great environment, felt very private even in a busy night.“

“Seafood is fresh … amazing views 👌🏼“

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

“This place is so cool. I felt like I was stepping into a 1920's jazz club. There was live jazz, dark and swanky, bartenders shaking up drinks and remarkable service. Not to mention the food was delicious. Try the deviled eggs, thank me later.😊“

“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.“

“Absolutely fantastic food as well as service!!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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“

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

“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.“

“Dang. I just ate at Giddy Up and I did not expect the food to be that good. I met some coworkers there for a bite and drink and thought the food would be run-of-the-mill burgers and beer. Not only was the food extremely good, but that craft cocktails were awesome! Try the chicken sandwich - you won't regret it.“
