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!“

“Fabulous venue for a Wedding ❤️“

“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.“

“Extraordinary food. Great service!“

“good coffee and reasonable price“

“This place is amazing. The ambiance is dark and sexy, the staff is beyond welcoming, and the execution of the dishes is consistently on point. The menu is fun and hits from eclectic to classic. My wife and I have been here twice, and both times they slipped us a thank you dish. Normally we like to try different places, but 2120 is a place we’ll go back to again and again. Cocktails are inventive and complex. I have one gripe, I’d love to see this place expand to an international wine list, cause if they do this well at what they already do, their international wine choices would prob be exceptional. Owen Kotler Selections would be a great fit here. Shout out to Jason the Gm and our server was Will (I believe, sorry homie, strong cocktails blur my memory). The desserts man. It’s like everyone here really loves what they’re doing, and intense scrutiny goes into each dish the comes out of that kitchen. Top restaurant in Seattle for sure. More affordable than most too. Much love guys, well done!“

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

“Very cozy, delicious food, friendly & very knowledgeable staff. There were three of us, and we ordered pretty much the whole menu to share, except for a few things we weren't interested in. Plus, none of us eat lamb, so we passed on that. The least of our favorite was chicken liver parfait. The berry flavor was a little too overwhelming that we could barely taste the liver. Beef coulotte were a little chewy, but flavorful. Pink scallop, Kanpachi, Sturgeon and spiced maitake were our favorite. Overall, everything was delicious and beautifully presented.“

“Best chicken fried steak in Washington!!“

“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!“

“Awesome food - service-atmosphere!!“

“Everything was exceptional, the food, the service, the great chefs that you can see from part of the dining room. The one thing however that kept my experience from being next level, was the misplacement of the frisee on the main dish, the duck confit. Its too bitter, naturally and it's a little bit of a shock to the pallette compared with what otherwise could have been a great plate with subtly bold sauce and perfect puff pastry. I just got home and I'm still confused with why the frisee was on the plate?“

“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?? 😁“

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

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

“Our first night in Seattle. We were able to dine without a reservation. Try their homemade huckleberry shrub!“

“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.“

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

“Our food at the Von's Woodinville was outstanding and received great service from Ella. We hope she will be adding a star to her collection.“

“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!“

“A relaxing laid back atmosphere with so many flavors to choose from. I had a few cocktails, oysters for the first time, and sardines, too. Everything was delectable and Sharon and Dakin are lovely bartenders with great people skills.

I went there for a date and had a wonderful time enjoying new foods, drinks, and flavors. They even had a Malort cocktail!

Highly recommend if you like more intimate locations and being directly at the bar.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. Probably one of my favorites since relocating to Seattle.“

“Love this place! The vibe is immaculate with great energy and decor. It’s cozy yet open and there is a nice patio area as well. They have great events and live DJs. We went for brunch and the french toast was insane 🤤 Super friendly service too!“

“I was walking in the area looking for a restaurant to get an early dinner when I saw republic. I don't drink so was hesitant but when I entered I was surprised to see such an inviting atmosphere. The staff were friendly, efficient, professional, friendly, and accommodating. The menu was eclectic with unique offerings. I chose the grilled asparagus which was amazingly good , and the beef tips which were tender and delicious. My friend had a cheeseburger which he said was wonderful, and cooked to perfection. It was served with a generous portion of the best fries I have eaten in years. I highly recommend this place!!!“

“Great selection of beers on tap. We prefer the German wheat beers, and they did not disappoint. Ordered hamburgers the first visit. Very good. Large burger with a good selection of toppings. Our second visit we ordered the chicken nachos. Was a little skeptical of the pinto bean topping, but the nachos were also very good. The French fries, particularly the truffle fries are also good. Second visit, the initial bartender was surly, but chalked this up to a long day. Shift changed, and the service bounced back, so generally very friendly. I'd go back.“

“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.“

“If you haven’t been to The Bridge for dinner or happy hour yet, you are missing out! I just had an incredible meal that was a total chef’s kiss.
​I ordered the Carne Asada steak tacos, and they were perfect—served with a side of fresh guacamole that hit the spot. Now, I know what you’re thinking: fries with tacos? Trust me on this one. Their fries are perfectly crispy and, surprisingly, they go with tacos pretty Great.
​Whether you’re looking for a solid dinner spot or a great happy hour vibe in West Seattle, this is the place to be. Highly recommended! 🌮🍟✨“

“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!“

“Food is excellent ! I always get the wings they literally melt in your mouth and are just so flavorful! My sister brung me here and I’ve been back 5+times by myself since lol ! TRY IT ! I also tried the pena colada’s drink and omg it was soooo delicious“

“Great place with a nice vibe. I got an old fashion and my wife got an IPA. For food I got the zatar chicken which I really liked. Well balanced and tasty. My wife got the steak sandwich which was great as well. She preferred the steak sandwich though. I liked the chicken better. Parking was right outside as being a thrusday evening it was not super busy.“

“Greeter was rude. Like it was a trouble for him to get up from folding napkins to seat me at a table instead of going to the bar like he suggested. Actual server was nice. Food was good but overpriced($32 for a chicken burger and fries, no drink) and the 20% automatic tipping is a huge turnoff. This tipping culture is too much, tipping should be optional. Atmosphere of cars is cool.“

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

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

“Stopped in on my way to the Fisherman's Terminal and what a wicked cool place! Very friendly staff and great prices. Definitely good vibes and lovely conversation. The owner James is so personally and you can tell he takes so much pride in his business. ❤️“

“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.“

“My all time favorite brunch in the city. The food, no matter the seasonal selections, is always amazing. The cornmeal pancake is a must for the table and a notable favorite from my last visit was the Avocado Toastie with cured egg yolk. Delectable. Forget the food the service and environment is also superb. If you are in Seattle of visiting this is a must try.“

“The food is exquisite and Chef William is a gem. We can always count on a great meal and having a wonderful night out. We love Violet! We also love sitting at the bar and chatting it up with Kevin. If you want a fun night out, head to Violet! You won’t be disappointed!“

“Great meal and amazing service. I will definitely be back when I visit Seattle.“

“Just go, if you are thinking about it, bottomless mimosas should be the only breaking point.“

“Zig Zag Cafe is a Seattle institution. Live jazz, an incredible location that's both hidden but right on the waterfront, great food/drink, and a fun vibe? Hard to go wrong. I appreciated the variety of food and drink available and pretty much everything we received was good to delicious. Would come back for sure!“

“Sometimes a place hits just right. If you’re lucky you can get a table by the window for that epic 1st and Pike people watching. Get some braised brisket and appreciate. I liked the space with the exposed wood ceiling and old school windows. Service was timely and friendly. I look forward to coming back to try the baked fontina cheese dip appetizer or the fried bread pudding.“

“This is definitely one of our favorite places in the food court because we love their grilled cheese and today the person working there made our experience even better. Thanks for being awesome to a mom who needed a boost of happiness, who needed to remember that people can be awesome!“

“Great food, fantastic servers and bartenders. Super friendly neighborhood restaurant but also worth a drive if you don’t live close by!“

“Loved Canon — such a great bourbon/whiskey bar. Found it on TikTok and it definitely lived up to the hype! Our bartender was super friendly, and my boyfriend was in heaven talking bourbon the whole time. Highly recommend if you’re into whiskey or just want a cool spot with a great atmosphere.“

“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!“

“Seafood is fresh … amazing views 👌🏼“

“Had a great time at Central Saloon. The bartender’s name was Carly, and she absolutely crushed it. She had full control of the bar and handled a busy crowd with confidence, keeping service smooth and maintaining a great pace the entire time. She never once looked stressed. She kept the night entertaining and fun while still running a tight, well-managed bar. You can tell she’s experienced, professional, and genuinely great at what she does. That kind of bartending makes the whole place better and definitely makes me want to come back for more.“

“Went for breakfast, was quiet with loads of available seating. Staff were super professional and polite. Breakfast menu was pretty extensive with lots of choice for everyone.
French toast was incredible, too much to finish, but tasted great, with coffee being topped up over and over.
Chilled vibe when I attended with some good service and great food, for breakfast at least definitely worth giving them a go, the dinner menu looks as tasty!“
