“I had a wonderful lunch today. I like trying new things. I had the Mysore dosa and mango chicken curry. Both were wonderful.“

“Congratulations on your new award for your pizza skills. Now the wider world knows what we know. Your pizza can't be beat. Great drinks, great salad, great brussel sprouts w/ bacon, great service, super nice guy. See you again soon.“

“If you only hit one spot in Seattle: go here. The pelmeni will send you to heaven and the owner is warm and welcoming. Turgenev vibes.“

“Cool bathroom. Nice location. Friendly staff. I didn’t have a drink but was told they were pretty good. Portions are large. Vegan selections are limited.“

“a fun speakeasy style atmosphere with great service, amazing drinks and good food.“

“Some Random Bar is a great neighborhood spot in Belltown, right around the corner of 1st Avenue and Vine Street. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable, making it a good place to stop for drinks and food without feeling overly formal. The menu goes beyond basic bar food, with a good variety of dishes and cocktails.

The location is especially convenient if you’re walking around Belltown, and there are plenty of other restaurants and businesses nearby. It has the kind of neighborhood atmosphere that fits this part of Seattle well. A nice option for a relaxed evening with friends or a casual meal.“

“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!“

“I happened to stumble upon this place exploring Seattle. I had my first Seattle dog, and a few of their IPAs. The food and drinks were great. All of the staff were incredibly pleasant and kind, with a shoutout to Clea. I will absolutely be stopping here again when I make it back out to Seattle.“

“My wife and I have come here for the drinks and occasionally truffle pommes frites or some oysters, but this time we tried some of the other menu items for dinner. My wife got the Halibut (Chapter 6) and I got the Mushroom Pasta dish. (Chapter 5)

I asked Casey if he recommended the mushroom dish and he said it was one of his favorites. I'm not a foodie, so I don't get overly excited over food but let me tell you... It was so good that it prompted me to write a review about it. I actually felt an endorphin rush from eating it! My wife loved the halibut, (which I also tried) and I would say getting her to eat fish is usually a challenge unless her fisherman father prepares it!

I would recommend a Manhattan or Old Fashioned, which Casey also pointed me towards some new Rye to try. Fantastic as always!

I had placed an order for oysters but apparently they were forgotten, but I was so enamored with the mushroom dish that I didn't even care. Casey offered them to me on the house as he felt bad, which was a very nice gesture. I wasn't upset at all!

Now we would like to try all the other dishes, because if both meals were that good, how can they miss with anything else?

I didn't take photos of the food because I inhaled it :)

Thanks Casey and the rest of the staff for great service and amazing food/drinks!“

“I poked my head into Barrel and Bacon a few weeks ago to see if they’d be interested in donating a gift certificate to Magnolia’s Vino in the Village Reuse Raffle and the place was PACKED. I was left wondering want all the fuss was about? I saw “Cinnamon French Toast Crack Fries” and “Ube chicken & waffle” and knew I HAD to come back. The brunch is quite popular and it’s recommended you make a reservation. I concur. If you’re of drinking age, there was space at the bar and thats a good bet for brunch! The waiting lobby is chic and comfortable. When you catch a glimpse inside the restaurant the ambiance is nice. The food presentation is also exquisite. Everything seems to be piled high and looks delicious. My son and I were seated on the patio. Charming in its own right! While we waited for our food I got a bit of food whiplash as orders were delivered because - again - the presentation is notable. Our waitress was quite kind and helped me decide between 4 delectable dishes. The Ube French Toast won out and I was not disappointed! We waited about as long as you’d expect for our food…no complaints there. My son got the loaded tots. Oh my. Packed w flavor. The French toast was also quite good! Loved the ube cream cheese filling. Not too sweet for this sweet tooth! Great paired with coffee. The loaded tots offered a nice savory bacony balance! I noticed quite a few incredible looking cocktails. This trip I decided not to imbibe, but I will be returning and will try one of those! I can see myself visiting Barrel and Bacon at least four more times to try the other delectable menu items - and cocktails I wasn’t able to shovel into my face this time!

Barrel and Bacon is a much appreciated prize donor of Magnolia’s Vino in the Village Reuse Raffle (attendees get a raffle ticket if they bring their own wine glass in an effort to move towards a zero waste event!). I’m grateful for their gift, it demonstrates their care for the planet and drive towards zero waste.“

“Really unique cocktails, delicious & creative food, plus a dark & moody ambiance. I highly recommend if you appreciate any of those things!“

“Streamline Tavern Forevahhh“

“This is an amazing little place, the cocktails are truly out of this world exceptional! They use real fruit juices and uncommon mixers to tantalizingly tingle your taste buds. The staff are also well-trained and first-class at making you feel well taken care of.“

“Great service, Great atmosphere and most of all....a great bartender! 🍻👍...love you Miss Nana!“

“Everything we had was high quality, flavorful and super a scrummy!! Guacamole/plantain chips, beef enpanita, shrimp tacos, brisket taco, Cuban Sammy. People around us had these beautiful cocktails with flowers, umbrellas, etc. Huge selection of rum too. Loved the decor and servers were sweet as pie.“

“I love the few food items I’ve tried as well as the staff!“

“Great atmosphere and amazing staff. Bartender Justin is extremely accommodating and friendly. Liberty is an amazing new home bar. Will be frequenting regularly.“

“TS SO TUFF IN OHIO“

“It’s a punk rock bar. They have rainier!“

“Stopped in for Happy Hour at Rupee. Now—we are Rupee Groupies!!! Had 4 small plates, dessert (the Love Cake), and chai, as well as a craft mango and lemon soda and a ginger beer. This is possibly the best meal we have had in Seattle in some time! The entire meal was like a symphony of flavors, each adding a distinct character and together, like heavenly music. We will be BACK! Thank you so much Rupee! #RupeeGroupies“

“Good chicken fried rice and pad Thai chicken“

“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!“

“Great food and a wonderful experience every time. Pam has so much passion and love, I feel it in the tasty food and her presence. The doubles is SO good I cannot stop thinking about it. YUM!“

“How anyone could give Bakers less than 5 stars is beyond me. The crew at Bakers is the best and the drinks are the best in Seattle. I frequently find myself at other bars thinking “this would be better at Bakers.” I love that I can order a classic or ask them to get inventive and they also make something delicious. The French onion dip is so good and rotating seasonal menu is always delish. Only come here if you want every other bar to pale in comparison. 😉💕“

“Upon trying this out this place on a date night, I was immediately sold!

First off five stars to Sarah, our waitress and faithful help for the night! She was charming and really pleasant. In addition to that, we were told Francisco was our chef. Truly incredible, it’s rare to go somewhere that has every.single.dish. Hit the mark!

Highly recommending the cocktails and the hongos (the mushrooms)

Spot was also clean! Tidy and kept! Very charming. Not very big. Perfect intimate setting.“

“One of our favorite places in Seattle to eat and chill.“

“We celebrated our anniversary at 2120 and it was one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Seattle. The cocktails alone are worth the visit. The Old Fashioned was phenomenal, but the true standout was the Tequila Pho cocktail. I’ve never had anything like it—it genuinely tasted like you were drinking a bowl of fresh pho in the best possible way. It may honestly be our new favorite cocktail ever. The food was outstanding from start to finish. The oysters were, without question, the best we’ve ever had, and we’ve tried oysters all over the country. The smoked salmon crudo was incredibly fresh and beautifully prepared. My oxtail pappardelle was rich, flavorful, and perfectly executed, while my wife absolutely loved the Thai coconut curry with scallops. To finish the evening, 2120 surprised us with an amazing anniversary dessert featuring warm donuts, fresh chocolate cream, and caramel sauce, along with a celebratory glass of champagne. It was a thoughtful touch that made an already memorable evening even more special. A huge thank you to our server, James, who made the entire experience exceptional with his outstanding service, attention to detail, and warm personality. Thank you to the entire team at 2120 for helping us celebrate our anniversary in such a memorable way. If you’re looking for an exceptional dining experience in Seattle, whether for a special occasion or simply a fantastic meal, I highly recommend 2120. We will absolutely be back.“

“For over 20 years we have enjoyed every meal on the menu. They are the only restaurant that I know that make their own pastas, sauces, bread, and desserts. What a difference that makes. Everything is fresh tasting and satisfying. The meatballs are so light and tasty, eat them slowly to enjoy every bite. Not only are their pastas and pizzas delicious so are their appetizers. I love how they roast their eggplant and they serve it in an incredibly rich tomato sauce with Gorgonzola on the side. Their steak is cooked to perfection with an amazing sauce, a grilled pepper, onion, and their incredible handcut shoestring fries that are to die for!! Enjoy“

“A really special, tiny spot. Reserved a seat at the bar as a solo diner - the bartender Sam was so welcoming. I ordered the non alcoholic Celery Shrub, which was delicious, with nice complex flavors. That drink order sparked a lively conversation with Sam about zero proof drinks, including some ideas to try at home. Very enjoyable experience - this is what inclusive drinking feels like!“

“Came here for an impromptu date night expecting some decent Italian sandwiches and cocktails, and walked away with one of the best meals we’ve ever eaten. Every item was amazing, and came out shockingly fast. The drinks were delicious, and everything was well priced. The waiter/bartender was knowledgeable, and upon finding out we were new to the area, provided a list of recommendations for restaurants. Recommend the brussel sprouts, arancini and the cheesecake wholeheartedly.“

“The owner is incredibly personable and is very involved with his restaurant. His staff is very attentive and have excellent customer service skills. I chose a faster made food, the Chicken Kabob (recommended by the owner) and there was nothing that made it feel rushed or made cheap even though the price was amazing for the amount of food that came about 10 mins after ordering. BEST DARN KABOB I'VE EVER HAD IN SEATTLE. I'm sad I didn't try this place out when I lived in the neighborhood 10 yrs ago. I'd be a lot fatter by now...“

“One of the best restaurants in Seattle. Give it a try or you are missing out“

“I had such an awesome experience at Flight Club Seattle! My friends and I were smiling and laughing all night. The atmosphere was vibrant, energetic, and perfect for a night out with friends. The Social Darts games were fun and accessible for all levels of darts experience.

The staff were welcoming and attentive, and the food and drinks exceeded my expectations. I especially appreciated the creative beverage options, including the zero-proof cocktails. The space itself is beautifully designed, with a lively feel that makes it ideal for group outings, celebrations, or just a fun evening in the city.

Overall, Flight Club delivers a unique and memorable experience that combines entertainment, great food and drinks, and a fantastic atmosphere. I had an absolute blast and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun thing to do out in Seattle!“

“Fantastic eats, lovely vibe, stellar service. Highly recommend.“

“I made dinner reservations for my staff at A Stir after a conference in Seattle, though I was unable to attend myself—and I must say, I’m so bummed I missed it! The following Monday, I was greeted in the office by my entire team raving about how amazing the food and service were. Every dish was packed with flavor and crafted with quality. With team members who are gluten-free, it was crucial to find a restaurant that offered more than just a basic salad. A Stir exceeded expectations with a full menu of creative, nutritious dishes and an extensive selection of wine, cider, and gluten-free beer. On the morning of our reservation, I received a thoughtful email from the executive chef, Ton, with personalized recommendations. This added such a nice touch and made the experience even smoother for my team. Our reservation was at 6:15, and when my team arrived, dishes were freshly served, hot, and ready—a perfect way to unwind after a long few days at the conference. Dining at A Stir was the ideal way to close out their weekend, and I can’t wait to visit on my next trip to Seattle to experience it myself. Thank you, Ton and the entire A Stir team, for providing my staff with such a refreshing and memorable dining experience!“

“Love to take out of town guests here to wow them.“

“Rubys is a gem, quite literally and metaphorically, I guess. Tucked in an unassuming part of greenwood is a dog friendly, small seating, heck of a cocktail joint. Their menu and drinks change seasonally so it’s like watching all your favorite Game of Thrones character get offed. Sad, but necessary for growth and new characters. Anyways, this place is rad. Great service, great creative cocktails each quarter, and a friendly place to hang🤙🏻“

“Creative cuisine and cocktails! Presentation is on point and very beautiful!! Amazing food and service! We will be back ❤️ Highly recommend!“

“The prime rib was excellent. The service was superb. The people are very friendly, and the atmosphere is very welcoming.“

“Had a fantastic meal at Kokos! The ahi tuna tostadas were incredibly fresh with great flavor and texture. The chicken tortilla soup was rich, comforting, and packed with authentic taste. The standout for me was the mole enchiladas—perfectly prepared with a delicious, well-balanced mole sauce that was full of depth and flavor. Great food, excellent presentation, and an overall wonderful dining experience. Looking forward to coming back!“

“Home of the Bills Backers of Seattle. All Buffalo Bills games televised and watched with the Mafia. Everybody is welcome! Whether you live in PNW or just passing through town, come catch a game and support this awsome establishment. Beautiful Lake Union is right across the street.“

“It’s great that the people are attentive and yet allow you to just be. Salud!“

“Great and friendly bartenders.“

“Delicious authentic food and drinks are good. Great service by everyone !!!“

“10/10 would recommend. Off the beaten path, Adrian and team were a delight. You can see that they truly take pride in what they do. Friendly, queer friendly, quality, and vibes are a few of the many wonderful ways I would describe this place. Fantastic meal and drinks“

“Meesha truly brings together the flavors of India with a modern twist. We started with the Bengali Chicken Cutlet, Amritsari Choley Kulcha, and the Street Food Platter, each dish was packed with authentic flavors and beautifully presented.

For the mains, the Indo-Chinese Chilli Chicken had the perfect balance of spice and flavor, while the Railway Mutton Curry was rich, tender, and comforting. The Kulcha Bread paired perfectly with the curry.

To wash it all down, we tried the Anar Shikanji and the Amrud (Guava) drink, both were refreshing, unique, and the perfect complement to the meal.

Great food, warm hospitality, and a lovely ambiance. If you’re in Seattle and craving authentic Indian cuisine with creative touches, Meesha is definitely worth a visit! 🌟🍛🥂“

“Enjoyed the menu’s fresh ingredients, traditional yet innovative twists. Housemade pastas were the stars. Very good wine list and reasonably priced.“

“I came here with my girlfriend this last weekend and not only have I been wanting to come visit for a long time but then we had the absolute pleasure of meeting our wonderful bartender Rachel and she just made the experience even better! I have to give her a shout-out! I can't wait to come back very soon!“

“The cocktails I had were amazing. Staff was awesome and very generous.“
