RockCreek Seafood & Spirits

★★★★☆ 4.4 (1233) • $$$

"Very fresh seafood and the quintessential restaurant resembling Pacific Northwestern cooking. We originally made reservations (day of, but still have spots) for 4:30pm but realize that happy hour pricing is ONLY at the bar so we moved to bar seating which still had comparable vibes with the rest of the restaurant, just a bit less intimate. If you want a dinner at a more affordable price, happy hour is the way to go as the items are half off but the portions look to be the same as those at regular pricing.We shared a total of 9 dishes - 5 from happy hour, 2 from regular menu, and 2 from dessert menu. From the happy hour, we got Hawaiian hamachi crudo, Totten Inlet mussels bruschetta, oysters 'brock-a'fella', crispy fried calamari, and Barron Point Manila clams. From the regular menu, we got the barbecued Spanish octopus and heirloom cauliflower. From the dessert menu, we got the key lime pie and ricotta apple beignets. Appetizers: my favorite is the hamachi crudo as it had a nice sesame oil / soy sauce and the cuts are high quality. The mussels bruschetta had a nice sourdough that reminds me of Sea Wolf Baker's sourdough, and the sauce had a light mustard flavor that was not overbearing. The sourdough lended more of the acidity than the sauce itself. The oysters 'brock-a'fella' were good, but they were larger oysters which were not really my preference as I liked the smaller, sweeter kinds. However, the preparation method is excellent and the oysters and the bacon bits on top were flavorful. The manila clams were also fairly fresh; there was less additional flavor as I tasted mostly clam flavor but the soup had a hint of white wine. Regular menu: one of the more popular dishes is the heirloom cauliflower which is like a salad. It is shaved cauliflower and a great starter. The barbecued Spanish octopus is nicely grilled with lots of beans. Compared to the other items we got, this was fairly weak as it is the priciest ($29) and tasted about as good as the food we got at happy hour ($9-12 range). Dessert: key lime pie is nicely tangy with a sweet pie crumb underneath, served in a jar. The ricotta apple beignets were quite sweet with the caramel, but they are still excellent without dipping into the sweeter caramel sauce.Service is good as dishes are served at the appropriate pace without feeling rushed. Water is a bottle, self-serve, but the waiter / bartender still proactively filled water for us occasionally, like between the dinner and the dessert courses. Overall, this place is worth a try, especially during happy hour which you can just pop in anytime 4-5:30pm, but if you want a fancier, more formal dining experience, opt for reservations (which can be tougher for prime 5:30-7:30pm dinner times) and they will seat you at one of many tables spread across the two-story establishment."

Black Bottle

★★★★☆ 3.8 (786) • $$

"I would recommend Black Bottle for:1. the service, truly nice and professional team greeting us as we came in and checking in on us regularly. 2. the cocktails. The bartenders make the BEST espresso martini in town! We tried a few other mixed drinks, also very tasty. Food was okay, nothing unique compared to other menus in the area, a little underwhelming but decent."

Ciudad

★★★★☆ 4.4 (484) • $$

"A hidden gem in Georgetown. Their tapas style menu is focused on meats & vegetables cooked perfectly over a charcoal grill. Their flavors are influenced from Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Greece, and the entire Mediterranean region. So in short - mix and match the small plates, meats, and sauces and get immersed in their flavors.We ordered the following items and everything trust me everything was delicious.1. Appetizers: flatbread and dip(hummus, labneh & baba ghanoush), saffron cauliflower (apricot and date molasses), patatas bravas, grilled kofta (mind blowingly delicious)2. Entree: Tahini marinated chicken thighs & Shawarma spiced shrimp. Both the chicken and shrimp were beyond amazing and so flavorful and perfectly cooked.3. Dessert: Labneh Panna Cotta (this was my least favorite dish of the night but still good) & Flourless Chocolate Cake (they do their flourless cakes right)4. Drinks: Their drinks menu is innovative with beets, carrots and burnt honey. We tried Roasted beet margarita, Hey rhu-barbie!, Spiced apple sangria, Oh bee-haveIt is a nice quaint casual spot. Service was amazing. Parking can be a little painful but you find a spot around the block. I can see this place have a wait time for weekends which is why we chose a weekday. Highly recommend this place when in Seattle."

Tablas Woodstone Taverna

★★★★☆ 3.8 (769) • $$

"Met friends for dinner and was glad to have made a reservation. Place was packed on a Saturday night at 6:30! Breezy was our server and she was spot on the entire night. Never failed to refill our waters or check on us. Really a fantastic server! We ordered the spicy shrimp, pita & dip platter, crispy Brussel sprouts, bacon wrapped filet and flan. All delicious! Average price was about $16-18 per dish. The three of us cleared all the plates! Parking was easy to find, the restaurant is warm & inviting and the host greeted us with a smile upon arrival."

Ten Sushi #35

★★★★☆ 3.7 (85) • $$

"I had no idea Ten Sushi #35 existed until we saw it as a participating business for the International District Happy Hour Food Walk. I must've never noticed it when in the area, as it's located in Little Saigon in a shopping complex. But after checking it out, I can't say I'd willingly go back.When we first arrived, we weren't sure if it was open because it was dark inside, and when we tried to open the door, it wouldn't budge. We soon learned that it was just a heavy door; as we saw that once we did pull it open, the employee was standing in front of the door watching us the entire time, trying to pull open the door. It was as if they didn't want us to visit. How odd. My boyfriend and I shared the salmon nigiri and seared tuna and salmon nigiri, which were both on the happy hour food walk menu. Although the nigiri pieces were cheap, they weren't the best. The salmon nigiri was fine, but the seared pieces were unfortunately, too seared. Because of so, we couldn't taste the freshness and quality of the fish. The sear adds a little something extra, which is why I normally order seared nigiri pieces, but the sear was too much. Also, they drizzled a spicy sauce on top of the sear, which also added to the fact that we couldn't taste a lot of the fish. Bummer. I most likely would not visit Ten Sushi #35 again, especially for when I crave sushi. The food was mediocre and the space didn't feel inviting."

The Whale Wins

★★★★☆ 3.7 (586) • $$$

"Really love the PNW flavor profile ( subtle and unique) and decor. Everything is family style so even the main are big portions to share. We started off with FARINATA. It was really unique, the clams go really well with the crème fraiche. Pair this with 2017 domaine des cognettes gorges muscadet, fr and thank me later!!! Baked goat cheese with honey is also Bomb. They come with not a lot of bread but they give you extra. Pork chop was out lease fav. Not a lot of flavor and just not the best. Pudding is soooooo good and such a nice way to end the night! I would love to come back to just eat FARINATA with some wine again!"

Nue

★★★★☆ 4.2 (1470) • $$

"Nue has a very eclectic menu if you want to try something new or stick with a variation of a classic. The ambiance matched the menu and there's lots of different art and knick knacks along the wall. Service was not bad as well.South African bunny chow: the cure was reminiscent of a Japanese curry and delicious overall with the bread bowl. No complaints here.Portuguese peri peri chicken sandwich: juicy delicious chicken sandwich with a hint of spice. The meal overall had no issues and was a nice change to a standard item.Overall, a restaurant that stands out with a wide variety of options. I will definitely be back!"

The Little Tavern

★★★★☆ 4.2 (55) • $$

"In short:A great new space with a nice intimate feel and very friendly service. The food could be really good with a few tweaks. Drinks are well priced.You can round this up a star if you don't see why some people are so picky about food. :-)In long:This spot escapes its strip mall setting practically the second you walk in. You walk past a big covered patio area and through the door on the side; it doesn't quite feel like a secret entrance but it almost has the vibe. There's a bar in back and kitchen off to the side. You can definitely see everyone hard at work. There are a few tables, a few highboys, and a couple of plush step-up booths inside. 2 flatscreens are probably showing the game. You get a warm greeting and a menu immediately. The kids working here are all upbeat, and seem to click with each other. You could imagine all of them going to the same party and blending easily. Jennifer P was the one who took care of us and she was amazing--really brightened our whole evening. We started with a vodka soda (nicely done. Also, pretty much impossible not to do nicely.) and a habanero hibiscus peach margarita. That's a lotta produce in one cocktail, and it works really well. Nice little nip of heat on the finish. Drinks average about $12, which is wonderful pricing these days. Rosemary & Sage FriesThese come out really fast! Couple minutes, maybe. Nice long thin shoestring fries, cooked until fully crisp. There wasn't much rosemary, sage, or parmesan visible on the fries, even though the menu called out all three ingredients. And there was practically none of them in the flavor, either. The spring onion aioli sounded great, and looked pretty loaded up with ingredients, but tasted mainly of mayo. If the margarita hadn't been so flavorful I would've wondered whether I had the sniffles. The hard part is already nailed with these fries--they're cooked perfectly. With some seasonings showing up they'd be pretty rad. Truffle oil would be a cool addition, too, but just nailing the ingredients listed on the menu would be a big step up.Tavern WingsThese are good. They also came out super quickly, somewhere on the order of 5 minutes after she put in the order. So you know they're pre-cooked, at that pace, but the flavor and texture and all that are perfect. Lots of Frank's-like buffalo sauce on 'em, they're messy. You can choose to have them without that, but if you get the sauce, they come with whipped blue cheese dip. I don't remember seeing whipped blue cheese dip before. Good flavor! A bite of blue cheese has about 20x more flavor than this, but the blue-cheese bite is present. This stuff was awesome to dip fries in, but it melts when you try to dip a hot wing into it. So you get just a little runny coating on your wing. I'd put this stuff on a couple things on the menu, but find something more solid to dip wings in.Tavern BurgerDecent-sized half-pound patty, fresh veg, a little sauce, nice chewy bun. This was good, and I'd get it again. We ordered the fries before we realized we could get fries *and only* fries as the side for the burger. So we ended up with more than a full order of fries left over after the meal. Not their fault, that's on me for taking a guess and ordering apps first without bothering to ask the question. But worth keeping in mind if you want to mix and match your sides ('cause ya can't). Maitake & Sausage PizzaThis was the most-frustrating plate on the table. Beautiful crust--nice bubbles on the edges here and there, beautifully browned, a little charring in a couple spots. Underneath it had a bit of darkening, and it had that nice sturdy feel to the underside, at least at the edges. But as soon as you lift a slice, it folds over from the weight of the toppings. I tried squeezing the sides together like a taco and it still fell back down. Here again the single hardest thing to nail is perfect--they have a great crust. It's a little thicker than typical wood-fired pizza places. If that crackery crust is 1 for thickness, and a Chicago deep dish is a 10 for thickness, this is like a 3. They solved the toughest problem, with a thickness not many places do. They accomplished something no one else has figured out.Then they load it with twice as much cheese as they need, and don't let the maitakes dry out enough. The center 50% of the crust was still doughy, but it was cooked through...just soggy. The cheese at first pulled apart like a tv commercial for cheese, but after 3 to 5 minutes, it was congealed and rubbery. The maitakes need to sit on paper towels or something before the kitchen starts building pies. Piling up so many damp toppings let oil soak through to the pan. It's frustrating to write this, because all the recipes are perfect, and they don't even need to replace any of the ingredients. It's just technique/process stuff to dial it all in. I'd love to come back someday and wonder why I left such a mistaken review that first time."

Lobby Bar at REN

★★★★★ 5 (7)

"I came here for a Yelp event. The place has a swank and lively atmosphere, like a heartbeat, in an otherwise typical lobby. I'm always looking for a good cocktail and can imagine coming back. The bartenders were fun, engaged, and helpful. While not the most stocked bar, it seemed to have a lot of quality liquors and liqueurs. The drinks were creative and enjoyable. I was able to sample some bites and was delighted by the salmon focaccia sandwich. Based on location and quality, if this place had existed for the past decade, I could imagine having dragged my friends here to unwind, shoot the breeze, pre-game, or just try new cocktails. I still imagine I'll be back once in awhile, and highly recommend checking out the Lobby Bar at REN for a bits and drinks."

Centro Neighborhood Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.5 (189) • $$

"Came to Burien to meet up with a friend and there was also a special lights festival going on at the same time. Fortunately the weather was just perfect and we were glad to sit outside and take in the festivities while eating. We were recommended this spot by friends and it did not disappoint! We all started with one of their special cocktails, I had the paloma. I'm not a big fan of margaritas with the salt rim, but the paloma is sweet and refreshing.For food we decided to share the nachos, which are huge! These were amazing. I loved all the avocado and red onions on top. Also, the brussels sprouts are not to be missed if you are a fan. I loved the creamy sauce they covered them in, which were roasted to perfection. After this we weren't all that hungry, but they have individual taco options, so I opted for the carnitas. This was also very tasty and had plenty of meat for 1 serving.Overall the staff were very quick here and the drinks were strong!"

North City Bistro and Wine Shop

★★★★☆ 4 (146) • $$

"I used to live in Shoreline and never discovered this hidden gem. Its full of whimsy and delicious smells and wonderful sounds. Wonderful sounds you might ask? Yes, there is live music scheduled at North City Bistro and it is lovely! This location has recently changed ownership and while I never visited prior to this change the service we received was top notch. All I can say is definitely try everything because we definitely did. Amazing, flavorful Brussel sprouts, satisfying and comfort food spectacular Mac and cheese, super creamy and tasty mushroom soup, crispy truffle fries, a classic creme brûlée done right and a truly perfect night cap of Caramel affogato.Visit this sophisticated setting for a night to remember and you won't be disappointed."

Thankfully List has an amazing Happy Hour with ridiculously cheap prices for exquisite eats...all food is half price!!!3:00-5:00pm AND 9:00-11:00pm, which we attended the later for a late dinner. Night time the interior is modern and chic with a red glow...though a bit too dark for my tastes. Thursday night the friendly staff quickly seated us, but I imagine Friday or Saturday this place will be crowded.$6 Glass of house red wine...can't beat that price!$10 HH Price...Handmade Gnocchi with black truffle cream...yum! $10 HH Price...Local fresh clams, herbed white wine broth...yum!$10 HH Price Columbia River steelhead(salmon), spicy cilantro pesto...yum! And this way better and bigger than the $32 salmon dinner I had a Lola!The food came out quickly which was amazing given the exceptional quality. Service was almost perfect until the very end of our meal. I know there is a labor shortage, so the bartender was helping bus for the one lone waitress. While clearing our table, she accidently splashed a bit of clam broth on my wife...opps! She gave a verbal apology. We didn't press the issue since everything was already so cheap, but it was bummer to end the evening...otherwise this place is great, and the BEST Happy Hour in Seattle!"

La Gloria

★★★★★ 4.7 (70)

"I love this place from food , service ambience it's perfect place to spend evening. This restaurant is shared with Inchin bamboo garden so I am surprise that both of these restaurant share the seating capacity and you are free to order from either of them. This is the first time I see sharing and it's benefits for customers like me for sure , who love Indian style Chinese and Mexican. My son literally saw how sharing helps both the restaurant , a great example for kids We ordered Prawn Jicama taco and , vege taco and it was amazing with all spiced veggie. It was made spicy and tasted great. We were served complimentary Tostada to start with and my son liked it so we ordered more. It was cripsy tacho with beans , cabbage and salsa on top. Server suggested drink and it was good too. It's bar but they do have seperate place if you are coming with kids .Must try for great food"

Pintxo by Valdemar

★★★★★ 4.6 (96)

"We love Valdemar wine but this was our first time visiting Pintxo since they opened. We absolutely love their food. As someone who spent time in Spain, these tapas are legit. The wine is impeccable. I did a flight and loved every glass. My partner had the olive oil martini and we highly recommend! So good. Service is outstanding. Jay is the nicest and always treats us amazingly. Our waiter was also fantastic. Our only complaint is that they sprayed cleaner as we were eating our food. Luckily, we were almost finished eating. Otherwise it would have ruined our meal. I could literally taste the spray in my mouth. Overall, definitely check out Pintxo next time you are in the area. You won't be disappointed!"

Esters Enoteca

★★★★★ 4.5 (104)

"This place was a wonderful Saturday night surprise! I had walked by the place several times and wanted to try it just because of the vibe-- think bright purple paint for the exterior and black and white checkered floor. It's counter service style, but they have QR codes at the tables so you can grab a seat and scope out their menu before ordering. We went ahead with the pastas because we were starving, and they did not disappoint!The was outstanding. There was just enough brine from the squid ink noodles to cut the fat from the lardon. The sauce was super fresh, and there were nice big chunks of savory lardon. ($17)The puttanesca was also very fresh. The anchovy, bright tomato, and olives all complimented each other for a well-rounded dish. ($15)They also have a good wine menu and fun cocktails!TL;DR: This is a super fun spot with a cool vibe, delicious food, and great wine at a reasonable price!"

Pace Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.9 (17)

"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."

Bar Dojo

★★★★☆ 4.3 (530) • $$$

"We went by Bar Dojo for dinner on a Wednesday night. I made reservations through OpenTable 2 days prior, but it wasn't too busy this night. I would say the type of food they serve doesn't really match the ambience of the restaurant if that makes sense? It felt a very Edmonds restaurant inside. We ordered:-Birria eggrolls- pork belly nachos- Dojo Board- almond cake- guava cheesecake- lilikoi creme bruleeThe birria eggrolls were our least favorite, the sauce didn't stick to the eggroll that well. The pork belly nachos were cheesy and had good flavor. 4 of us shared the Dojo Board, and we polished it clean. I think the board was $125 or so. We all had different reviews of the desserts, but they were all good. This place is on the pricey side, but the food was good."

The Rabbit Box

★★★★☆ 4 (18)

"This is a charming live music venue and lounge found in the subterranean space formerly occupied by The CanCan at Pike Place Market that's absolutely worth a visit for people looking for a happy hour or night cap with the potential for live music. It's intimate, with an Alice in Wonderland vibe courtesy of the long evergreen velvet benches, wall sconces, arcaded hallway, exposed beams, vintage baroque furniture, playful chandeliers and green and gold perhaps french inspired wall paper. I will say the benches are pretty high. I'm 5'4 and had to grab a chair to give me a boost up.... but once upon my perch the view of the space was lovely. The cocktail program is respectable, with interesting drinks for a variety of tastes. I will say the prices are high...$17 per cocktail but they are good. Among the sampled drinks were The Blackbird (with pomegranate liqueur, creme de cassis, squid ink tincture and splash of cava and the perfect vampire drink), The Painkiller (a very tropical, rum-based drink) and The Missionary's Downfall (a blended, rum-based drink with more sweet and fresh mint). All were well-made, presented and delicious.Also sampled was the rotating soup, a fiery clam chowder (about a 3 star out of five). It was delicious: great texture, herbs, plentiful clam meat (you'd have to try and come up with a spoon without clam) and perfectly cooked potatoes. If not for the spice (delicious, but rough on sensitive tummies), this could be the best clam chowder in the hood (even over Pike Place Chowder). As it was, scrumptious and much enjoyed.After hanging out at Radiator Whiskey, this place feels like a library. I think if you're looking for friendly service (spotty at first but warmed up) quite space, excellent cocktails, small selection of beer and wine (we noticed they don't have ciders btw), a respectable food menu with both pub eats fries, burger and the like, as well as fancy plates like marinated black cod - here's your joint. Yeah, come check it out. Food: 3/5Drinks: 4/5Service: 4/5"

Red Cork Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.4 (193) • $$

"I like the ambiance. I came 10 minutes before closing and the lighting and seating is really pretty inside. Service was also speedy and friendly. I ordered a pasta and they have one of the best pastas I have ever tasted. It was just pricey, more of a date night or fancy occasion place."

Cure Cocktail | Capitol Hill Bar & Charcuterie

★★★★☆ 4 (150) • $$

"For anyone who is interested in knowing how to make a cocktail or simply wanting to experience a chillax wine bar, highly recommend hitting up Cure Cocktail!! :)I cannot express how much fun and enjoyment I get out from the kickass cocktail classes that are hosted here. The owners are super friendly and overall, the classes are kept fairly small and intimate for hands on learning experience. One cool thing to note is if you sign up to a monthly cocktail pass, this allows for free classes, tastings, and other random events that pop up. At a cost of $35/month, it's a pretty sweet deal.In terms of the place itself, interior is a pretty rustic and cute place. Love the twists on cocktails and the charcuterie board is on point. Had an opportunity to sample the cheese and meats (which does rotate from time to time) and it was delicious! Prices are reasonable and overall, service is nice and quick. Highly recommend coming here if you're looking for something different."

Overboard Whidbey

"Hands down my favorite Thai restaurant! Any time I'm in Seatac or near, it's mandatory to come here. My go to is their chicken fried rice spice level 3 or the Honey Cashew Chicken.

rustica

★★★★☆ 3.7 (250) • $$

"After spending time at Deception Pass we were looking for a local place for dinner, and found rustica on Yelp. This is a great place, loved the interiors, very rustic. We had called ahead and made a reservation, and they had a table ready for us when we got there.We ordered Mushroom flatbread, bucatini carbonara, mushroom rigatoni, chitarra alfredo, bell's farm lamb chop and a couple arugula side salads. On the recommendation of our waitress we got the fresh baked focaccia. We loved the fresh baked focaccia, it came with olive oil and roasted garlic for dipping. The focaccia was warm, light and a great start to our meal. We loved the roasted garlic that came with it. We got the mushroom flatbread next, loved the flatbread, the pesto on it was amazing. Moving on to our entrees, we loved the pastas, each one of them great, with the bucatini carbonara being my favorite. The portion size was also right for us.For dessert we got Olive oil cake, cannoli, and the special chocolate dessert. We loved them all, specially the chocolate with the caramel sauce on top. The Olive oil cake was the right balance chocolate decadence."

Fog Room

★★★★☆ 3.6 (271) • $$$

"A chill, upscale rooftop bar located inside the Charter Hotel -- it's a stone's throw from Pike Place Market if you're looking to plan a day in the Downtown and Belltown area. We were able to get a reservation for 10 for a friend's birthday, and were seated outdoors on their patio. I've been to a few rooftop bars in Seattle, and the view here is OK (depending on where you're sitting). We were there for sunset and the ambiance was super nice, but our view of the water was definitely blocked by a tall building. It's a bit on the pricier side, but that's to be expected for a rooftop anything.The service here is FANTASTIC -- our server asked everyone about their favorite spirits and made such thoughtful recommendations about what each person would like. Every single drink he recommended was a hit -- I got the Star and Shadow and loved the smokiness from the mezcal. It was great to sip on and overall felt like a nice place to lounge. Overall, the drinks here are really great (albeit a bit pricey) but you could probably find a better view elsewhere. They have really knowledgeable servers, and I would come back for a special occasion."

The Fork At Skagit Bay

★★★★☆ 4.2 (55) • $$

"820pm in LaConner = limited choices. So glad they were still open. And, grateful the timing pushed me toward trying their food. It was- divine. It was like home and hope had a baby on my plate! But- less graphic and gross than that actually sounds. The roasted squash - sweet, savory, and smart. With nuts and goat cheese and arugula !! The Caesar salad - it isn't a boring experience. The giant cheese crisp and the peppercorn make it above average. The ambiance- perfect playlist that shifted from jazz to Tony Bennet to rock... seamlessly. Staff cleaning up but helpful and welcoming. Clean, creative, thoughtful, and cool."

The Table

★★★★☆ 4.3 (363) • $$$

"Finally made it in! We've been remiss in not visiting The Table before tonight. But we're rectifying that now. We started with the braised elk, a glass of the DeLille Cab, and a glass of the Nomen Malbec. The wines, which we started right on, were very good. Excellent recommendations by the staff. The braised elk was so tender and could be fork cut. Tempe sauce was excellent. This is always on the menu so you should get it. We ordered the true cod and the local pork ragu. Of course, the menu changes so these may not be available. We paired the cod with the Grosgrain Chardonnay. Both dishes were very, very good. Not a bite was wasted. We finished with the hazelnut pie and the blood orange beignets. Ugh. So full. But so good. We will certainly be back and I would suggest that you try it out!"

Black Bottle

★★★★☆ 3.9 (1173) • $$

"We keep walking past this place and look fondly inside! We finally too the dive and got drinks before a show downtown.The inside was every bit as cozy yet modern on the inside. We got the Sweater Weather and the Glögg.Sweater weather was fresh and alpine tasting, figured out it had a pine liqueur in it! Like a delectable car freshener! It was really delicious.The Glögg was warm, heavy, and perfect for a winter day. The vibe is romantic in there, some exposed lighting and minimalist furniture. I'd love to come back for dinner some day. Sitting at the bar was nice and inviting."

Mini Bar Seattle

★★★★★ 4.7 (52) • $$

"Unassuming spot with the best food. Easiest parking is the paid lot. I think it's next to a laundromat because it smelled strongly of laundry detergent the entire time. Drinks were yummy - Watermelon-Rita ($13) and Prickly Pear Mule ($13).The food is INCREDIBLE.This Chicken Katsu ($15.95) is pounded very thinly, perfectly crispy and not greasy at all. The Bulgogi Kimbap ($10.95) was delicious too - loved how it was scrappily assembled.The staff were so accommodating and sweet."
