Pace Kitchen

There are so many choices along 1st in Snoho anymore, and nobody is working the dive-bar vibe at this point. It's been quite a while since that was the case. Pace is definitely a nice place to relax with a few glasses of wine and snacks or a meal.It's an old warehouse type space--high ceilings, long, narrow single room. Light wooden floors, brick walls. Lots of highboy seating around 4-top tables, a couple couches. When the weather's nice, it looks like their back deck is probably amazing. They can probably get a decent breeze through here when needed, too. All this with some mellow downtempo coming from somewhere makes for a very welcoming place to relax.Seating is first-come, first-sat. There's a short wine list (1 white and 4 reds pouring yesterday). You can pick a flight of 3, and it's complimentary if you take a bottle home. The menu is interesting--focused on classic dishes done well. Not a huge long list of choices, but they all certainly sit right in my wheelhouse.We had a charcuterie plate--2 decent salamis and 3 great cheeses, along with some jam, arugula, toasted bread, and rad raw honey. Honeycomb still sitting in it, in all its peppery-sweet waxy goodness. The Whatcom White with Peppercorn is a crazy good cheese. We also got the bone marrow, which comes with roasted garlic, mushrooms, demiglace, and more toasty bread. This marrow gives just about any place I can think of a run for its marrow money. The crowd filled up pretty quickly in the late afternoon. Couples hanging out, groups of friends, groups of moms, a couple family groups. The owner and his grandson greeted people, while mom and dad and a few others worked the bar. One girl scout and her mom came in to sling cookies. Some people were definitely dressed up a little bit to go out, and it all had a very friendly community watering hole vibe. We tried all the wines; the sauv blanc was a little on the subdued side, as was the tempranillo. The syrah had good flavors and a big body to it, seemed like a good steak wine. The rhone blend and bordeaux blend both had awesome flavor profiles with lighter, more-sippable body to them, and we took home 2 bottles of the bordeaux. I'd really love to come back with more appetite and check out the entrees. The appetizers made it very clear that this kitchen knows what it's doing, and based on the descriptions (and recommendations from friends), I'm sure the full dinners are just great. The service stays right on point throughout--it kinda looks like their whole focus is on being a tasting room, but once you sit down and interact with the staff you know right away that the restaurant service is good. Definitely recommend this place.

Their food is outstanding. They serve Randolph Cellars, so enter there. The menu changes frequently so I could tell you about all the amazing things I've eaten there but they might not be on the menu. What I can promise you is you will enjoy whatever you order. If it's on the menu, the Gelato is heaven in a bowl!Only bummer is last call for kitchen is 7:15pm because they close at 8. Wish they stayed open later.

Delicious small plates, yummy wine. Great place for a date night in downtown Snohomish

Perfect for a date night! Literally the best place I've ever eaten at. Nothing compares. Food is exquisite and of top quality. Joe and Aubrey are the most sweetest and kind people! Easily the best dinner of my life. Went here with my Husband and will be back for sure! We both fell in love with the food--fell in love with the whole place. Worth every single penny.

Great date night spot, we'll be back for sure! Everything we ate was deliscious, and you could taste the passion, creativity and precision in each bite. Great wines to pair with, great patio on the backside also, great place Pace!

Great food! At the Randolph Cellars, a great venue with a good wine selection. The 2018 Syrah was outstanding with the Lamb. Act fast, they change the menu often.

I can't believe we never knew this restaurant existed.The food was incredible and well priced. We will definitely be going back again soon!

Good food, wine and service. Quaint atmosphere in Snohomish. Focaccia was very good. Came out warm with tasty butter and olive oil. Also recommend the ravioli. Yum!

Delicious! Had the Wagyu short rib that was probably the most tender meat I've ever had. You could cut it with a spoon! Enjoyed the charcuterie board as well. Highly recommend in downtown Snohomish!

Welcoming, excellent wine and food, deck on the river ... love it!! would highly recommend this to anyone for any occasion.
