RESPITE Wine Bar + Bottle Shop

A couple of friends, some conversations, a few helpings of cheese and bread on a charcuterie board, and of course glasses of wine make for a perfect relax outing in the evenings of Seattle.

Wow! Love this wine bar! Amazing selections of wine and delicious food! The owners are so warm and welcoming. I highly recommend the sparkling rosé, meat and cheese board (which was delicious). I'll be coming back here soon!

Very modern and inviting atmosphere. The servers are extremely friendly. We were in for an afternoon rose, it was amazing, and so was the meat and cheese board.

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.

Respite is right around the corner from our house, and we are astounded at our good fortune! Everything about this place is wonderful: the wine, the food, the vibes. Each wine I have tried here has been excellent, and I’ve tried many, since I can’t help but get a flight on every visit. Hanley, the owner on the wine side of things, has impeccable taste, and I love trying her recommendations. She hand-writes the flights (pictured)! I would be remiss not to mention the food as well — the dishes are perfectly restrained so that the fresh ingredients truly shine. The cheese board is a delight, and we have also enjoyed the salads. I cannot recommend this wine bar enough!

This place is an utter delight! The wine selection is beautifully curated, the food available is all excellent. I also loved that they take the guessing out of ordering with their curated meat and cheese platter. And don’t forget dessert. Sublime!

I visited this bottle shop with two girl friends.
We had wine and shared food.
We really enjoyed the bred & butter, the carrots on a puree and smoked salmon dip.

The wine selection was great too and so was the ambiance.

I will definitely return here if the occasion arises.

Went to Respite and grabbed the last open seats on a Wednesday night. They have patio seating for warm summer nights. The owners are knowledgeable and spend hours every week testing the wines they add to the menu. Cozy date spot or great for meeting up with friends. Bonus - they don’t do tipping! It’s so nice to just pay the price on the menu and know staff are well taken care of and paid a livable wage.
