“I do fish and chips everywhere. This was 3pc w extra tarter. Mm-mm good smell, excellent tarter and the shoestring fries were perfect. The panco Batter was crispy and the fish was thin cut yet firm enough to dip, in a word: EXCELLENT. The Cole slaw or cold slaw was spectacularly delicious with an unusual hint of sesame, a real treat. Prices were commensurate with the high quality.“

“This place is so cute and quaint! It’s small but a great vibe and the staff were wonderful and friendly. I’ve lived in Greenwood for 13 years and never stumbled across this place until recently. It’s a hidden gem. Decent drinks but don’t except to take a gang of people with you. Perfect for a couple! I’ll be back for sure!“

“I wanted to share my recent experience at your establishment and provide some feedback on my visit. Firstly, I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere of Rupee Bar. The lively ambiance and colorful decor created a welcoming and energetic environment, perfect for socializing with friends or enjoying a night out. The highlight of my visit was the impressive selection of cocktails. The mixologists at Rupee Bar truly have a talent for crafting creative and flavorful drinks. Each cocktail I tried was expertly balanced and bursting with unique flavors, making for a memorable drinking experience. I also appreciated the variety of snacks and small plates available on the menu. The food offerings complemented the drinks perfectly and provided a delicious accompaniment to the evening.“

“Korea-inspired creative cocktail bar with solid selection of food.The inside is as suggested by the name quite dark but it lends itself some cool vibe. Cocktails were delicious but def on the pricey side.The only thing is that the music and some guests were too loud so it’s a bit hard to talk.“

“I live in west Seattle where we have a few top quality Italian options. This place is worth driving across town to eat at. The appetizers provide an amazing opening salvo, so don’t skip over them. The entrees are small but top quality. The pasta can’t be beat and finishing with green tea tiramisu is a welcome twist to the old classic. The atmosphere is quaint and quiet. Service is great. This place is on the pricey side but still a good value. I’m looking forward to going back, but reserving this place for special occasions.“

“Some good friends of ours turned us on to this place!! Started out with the meatballs, well seasoned and perfectly cooked ❤️One of the best pizzas I have ever had, crust was perfecto!! My husband who is beyond picky was impressed!! The cocktail was perfect very well balanced! Atomspere was very nice and the service itself top notch! I will definitely be a regular even all the way from Seattle! It’s worth it!“

“We’ve been wanting to come here and finally did for the first time tonight. Everything about this place is perfect. My “barometer” drink at any bar is a gin gimlet and they made me the best one I’ve ever had. All of our drinks and all food was *chef’s kiss*. The service was attentive and knowledgeable and kind and down to earth. The live piano playing was so nice. We loved it all and will be back. Thank you!“

“Wonderfully creative food that didn't feel overly pretentious and filled us up. The Staff was informative and friendly, taking times to explain and recommend dishes without being asked; If this was located downtown it would be twice the price and still worth it.“

“This is an awesome, unique gem of Greenwood. The staff couldn't be better, great bar food(try the burgers, you're welcome), classic and unique arcade games with pinball. If that all wasn't enough, they the wettest water Greenwood.“

“Lovely local/neighborhood spot. Great for people/first date watching. If you’re not a local, please don’t come. The food is decent and changes regularly, but the drinks are phenomenal bc the resident bar tender is phenomenal. The service is meh — our orders get messed up every time, but the dishes that do get delivered are delicious!“

“Went to Sabine Cafe for a quick afternoon bite with my teenager. We chose some appetizers to share off the menu: fried cauliflower, whipped feta with veggies, and the Za’atar fries. The service was friendly and efficient. The food arrived quickly, too.The food is middle eastern influenced. My teen didn’t like the tahini and feta flavors, unfortunately. ? She made the most of it though and ate some of the food… but just didn’t love it.Personally, I really enjoyed the atmosphere and outdoor glassed-in dining area, but also wasn’t blown away by the food we chose. (I noticed they have a breakfast/brunch menu - maybe this would be a better option next time…)“

“Daphne's is such a special experience and one I look forward to on every visit to Edmonds. There isn't a cocktail on the menu that I would not recommend, especially when you pair it with a slice of Moto Pizza from across the street. I must make a special shoutout to Desmond, a regular bartender, who treats every customer like family, makes them laugh, and ensures they have a one-of-a-kind experience. Be prepared to squeeze into this little hole in the wall, but I can assure you it's worth the visit.Kid-friendliness: Drop the kids at the movie theater next door and kick back at Daphne's ;)Wheelchair accessibility: Edmonds has a few places within walking distance of Daphne's that would be more suited for wheelchair access!“

“Bar Sabine was pretty packed on a Saturday night, and after having dinner at Asadero nearby, we decided to hit up Bar Sabine for some late-night cocktails. Even though we were the only ones waiting in line, we waited outside in the chilly Seattle night for 30 to 40 minutes. The wait made more sense once we stepped inside.The interior had tributes to Lord of the Rings everywhere from the decorations to the names of the drinks. They even had all three Lord of the Rings movies playing on different TVs at the same time. Although I do not know much about the franchise, I really appreciated the attention to detail and the tenacity to stick to the theme. The cool glassware matching the theme added to the vibe - like the White Hand of Saruman served in a black glass with a white handprint, or the Mirror of Galadriel with a mirror on a wooden box. I didn't check out the full menu, but I noticed other drinks coming in unique glasses, like barrels or mid-century mugs.I tried the Mirror of Galadriel, the White Hand of Saruman, and the Broken Sword of Narsil. The Broken Sword of Narsil was the standout, with fenugreek cream making it unique. It was so good that I had to ask the bartender for more cream. The White Hand of Saruman was on the sweet side, probably thanks to the condensed milk. The Mirror of Galadriel, with lavender gin and strawberry sake, packed more of a punch than I expected. All in all, the experience was worth the wait, and I'll definitely be back at Bar Sabine.“

“Best bartenders, fabulous, fun people, great music, delicious cocktails, interesting DJ’s, Progressive Rock on vinyl spun every 1st, 3rd, and 5th Thursday by knowledgeable Prog DJ’s & musicians… all at a place Lee Hazlewood would enjoy. Go to the romantic upstairs with comfortable couches. Best. Bar. Ever!“

“We have passed by this place many times and never gone in until now. So pleasantly surprised by everything about this place. We ended up getting the grilled cauliflower for a starter, short ribs and the crab roll for dinner and the molten chocolate cake for dessert. It was all great and there are 4 more things on the menu.“

“Dan assisted me in coordinating a takeout order for a baby shower for 18 guests. He made great menu suggestions, and packed and delivered the order himself. The food was delicious - Chicken & waffles, McMuffins, tater tots, a beautiful green salad with white balsamic vinaigrette. Super friendly and wonderful service - the group was very happy!“

“Amazing cocktails! I’ve been many times and every drink I’ve had is delicious. Their food is actually really good, too - the chicken tenders was a surprise hit.I also booked a private event at Percy’s and it was a wonderful experience. The space was nice and private, the staff was very welcoming and accommodating, and our server Olga took amazing care of us! I would definitely recommend booking a private event here.“

“Joli pickles its way into your heart. ❤️I won’t detail the dynamic and fun expertly executed cultural fusion food and beverage experience. Instead I’ll just say, “Go”! Come back and comment if you felt this level of review isn’t 100% justified.“

“Food and service is outstanding. The traditional Tapas choices and the house specials are not to be missed. The little churros & chocolate desert is a cute treat. When ordering an espresso, they warn, out of courtesy, that the espresso machine is older (tasted fine). Only downside is that is EXTREMELY noisy. Need to practically shout to communicate. Nothing can be done about that. Just be prepared. Also, parking is pretty bad in the area. The entire block across the street is closed for parking, and sidewalks closed, due to a massive construction project. Safe bet is to park at the QFC or the Swedish Hospital lot.“

“My friends gave me a birthday lunch there on Sunday March 31st. It was really a treat. The food was excellent. The staff were friendly and professional. I loved having my birthday celebration there. I would highly recommend to anyone! Go and see, you’ll love it ???“

“We absolutely love coming here. I will say now after coming probably 10 times or so... I'm no longer going to come here for dinner. The value just isn't worth it. We spent $100 a person and were still hungry when we got home. You just can't get anything substantial enough for a full dinner worth the price. Highly recommend for drinks and small bites though! I think it's one of the best bar programs in Seattle.“

“Oh my goodness… When you walk in the front door, there is a person making tortillas… The chips and salsa are delicious and every menu item we have tried has been delicious as well. I have seen a couple bad reviews and I am thinking it really must’ve been an off day because I have now been there a number of times and feel that everything has been more delicious than any of the other nearby Mexican restaurants.“

“Food was fantastic. My mom said her fish tacos were the best she's ever had. Huge portions for the price. Good service, very polite and knowledgeable wait/bar staff. Configuration of lower level a bit odd. We didn't see the upstairs so can't comment on that, but the small downstairs bar tables are a tad tight.“

“My family and I have been going here for many many years! Always treated like family there, and the wait staff is so friendly and WONDERFUL. We always have leftovers that we enjoy to take home for a late night snack, or lunch the next day! I love that about the place! I always get the sweet and sour prawn dinner with deluxe fried rice, and chow mein Comes with soup (hot and sour or wonton), eggroll and ! DELICIOUS! <3 I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone that wants the best Chinese food in the area! Hands down! <3 delicious pork loin to dip in the sauces and sesame seeds! (My fav!) :D“

“Everything about this spot was great, sat outdoors with a heater next to the table with enough table space for our drinks and four appetizers, and the pineapple upside cake to finish. I don't know what magical place people are looking for where everything is inexpensive, this was worth the price, and we got to try a lot of the menu on our first visit. I didn't get any names of the staff, but everyone working the night of Mar. 30th was amazing.I almost forgot, the entire reason I went here was for mocktails, of which they have plenty. The Photosynthesis was great.“

“I took my 3 year old daughter here for a night out and we had a blast!Kid-friendliness: It’s a lively and loud enough atmosphere where kids aren’t a distraction to other patrons. That said, there isn’t a ton of room in the free spaces, so definitely no walking around and playing during the meal.“

“I never really thought that a Margherita pizza with a few mushrooms should cost 27 dollars after tax. Then I ordered a Pie from Delancey. The dough, cook, red sauce, and overall quality made it worth it. Will be going back. The atmosphere was really nice too. Good vibes. Go!“

“Pretty good pies but the alcoholic beverages on the menu are absolutely the worst things we’ve ever tasted. Loved the pie. Loved the people. Hated the drinks. Couldn’t drink more than one sip. And they were expensive. Oh well, that’s the cost of learning.“

“Building was very cute, outdoor seating had a nice view of the water with very warm heaters! Our server was very attentive and the food came out decently fast. The Seasonal Greens Salad was delicious, and the Kobe Beef Sliders were yummy as well! Would definitely recommend this place.“

“Love this place! This was our 4th or 5th time here and I'm always impressed by the great service. This was my first time coming for happy hour and the happy hour deals can't be beat. I got the fried chicken sandwich with a side Caesar (included) - it was delicious, so much food (the salad was much bigger than a "side" salad portion and the chicken was a good size), and so reasonably priced. The interior of the taproom is so nice and clean! Overall, extremely cozy and chill ambiance“

“The first thing which strikes out when you reach here is its wield location. The area is a little spooky at night. We went there at around 8 PM. The place however is good. We liked the food. They had a happy hour on Sunday and it was really good prices (not like the fake happy hour most places have these days). The staff were courteous and helpful. We tried 2 cocktails and didn’t like both (below average).Also, they have a 22% mandatory service fee which gets added to the bill. It didn’t matter but is good to know.In Summary, good food, good atmosphere, good service, weird location and bad cocktails (at-least the once we tried)“

“We would recommend 'The Clearwater' for a nice dining experience. Tables are limited so reservations should be made as soon as possible! We were a party of four. Everyone enjoyed their meals & would recommend their selections as well as order them again: Jidori Chicken Oscar, 14oz Bone-in Pork Chop, Shrimp & Scallop Gnocchi, Diver Sea Scallops. The Clearwater Signature Salad with champagne pear vinaigrette was so tasty. The Caesar salad romaine was served cold, crisp and fresh. Lemon 'slices', more suited for a cocktail, was served with the salad. Slices made it tough to squeeze lemon juice on the salad. Pork Belly Brussels Sprouts were nice and crispy roasted. Pork Belly pieces were nice in sized but lacked pork meat. This dish was a bit salty. The Clearwater Cabernet Sauvignon, produced by Rutherford Wine Company in California, was a great value at $24 a bottle! Also recommend the Clearwater Reserve IPA. Jody, our server, has a talent for anticipating the needs of the table. She was knowledgeable about the menu items including wine and beer selections. Pleasant and engaging. We appreciated the attention she paid to our table.“
