“We have been coming to Lynn's for 20 years since moving to Kirkland, and her food never disappoints. While we routinely try out new places, Lynn's is like a reliable warm hug from an old friend. Her sauces are to die for, and everything perfectly cooked. It's difficult to choose my favorite, but her shrimp ravioli, french onion soup, and filet mignon are top of my list.Sat evening i had Fish of the Day, which was Salmon in mushroom butter sauce. It comes with sautéed vegetables and scalloped potatoes. My husband had crab cakes in lobster sauce which came with the same sides. This guy who detests anything green gobbled down the vegetables first. It's a testament to how perfect Lynn's sautéed vegetables are. He also never eat soup, except the French onion soup at Lynn's.My salmon was perfectly cooked, silky smooth and full of flavor. Crab cakes were large chunks of jumbo lumps in a lobster sauce that makes you mop up every drop with the hot french rolls.Service was friendly and prompt without pretentiousness. Lynn's is a gem that will have you coming back for repeat visits.“

“My son, my two grandchildren and I went to Feast for happy hour. Everything about the experience was perfect. We ordered about six things off the happy hour menu to share, and everything was wonderful! Happy hour was a great value and it might be the best one I have ever been to. I can't wait until my next trip here to visit Feast again.“
“Coffee: 4.5/5Vibe: 2.5/5Service:5/5I recently visited Kirkland Bakery and had a pleasant experience. The mocha I tried was excellent, easily one of the better coffees I've tasted in the greater Seattle area. My friend also felt it was among the top coffees around.The pastries were a highlight of our visit. I particularly recommend the Danish cheese fruit - it was delicious. The staff were friendly, contributing to the overall nice vibe of the place. While the decor might seem a bit old, it doesn't take away from the bakery's appeal.They offer a good variety of treats, from pastries and cakes to sandwiches and crepes. I heard their croissants are very tasty, but unfortunately, they were sold out when I visited, which I think speaks to their popularity.An interesting observation was a group of girls at a nearby table enjoying a whole cake, exclaiming, "It's so good!" Their enjoyment was quite evident and added to our positive experience.Overall, Kirkland Bakery is a nice spot to visit if you're in the area and looking for some good coffee and pastries.“
“I can't even begin to describe the Noir show. It was just that good! I brought my son's girlfriend out for her 21st birthday. We're already planning for the next one. You can see the cast loves what they do. Ps. The rubber band thingy worked out.“
“I had a wonderful evening this week with a friend at Le Caviste. The last time I visited this wine bar was several years ago. I don't know why it fell off my radar, but it is back on it. The glasses of wine (5 ounce pours) are reasonably priced, and they offer a great variety. I selected a full bodied Gigondas and was not disappointed. The bites offered are also tasty. We opted for the olives, a nice creamy cheese served with an ample portion of baguette, and the tasty roasted mushrooms. Please give this establishment a try! Service was smooth and unobtrusive. I recommend arriving soon after they open at four because the space does fill up quickly.“
“My team and I had the most wonderful dinner at the Whale Wins (and I felt like I ate like a winning whale.) From the moment we sat down and were greeted by the smiling faces of our servers to the last drop of wine at the end of the night, it was perfect. We all agreed that the food was some of the best we have had in years. Each of us had a favorite - mine was the black cod and the Matiz sardines on toast. The servers were attentive, super kind, and made sure we left happy, with a delicious slice of the zucchini bread with creme fraiche and sea salt.I look forward to going back and experiencing the rest of the menu!“
“The girl in front of me apparently came back for four more Wild Strawberry macarons, so that influenced me to try one out also. Delicious! I also got their seasonal Tart Cherry which was good, but the Wild strawberry was better, plus it comes in cute two-tone colors. There was a short line, but it moved quickly.“
“Superb experience! Delectable meals (Trout, Sturgeon, Pork Loin, Lamb Chop, plus desserts); delicious cocktails; personable service. Nell's is wonderfully quiet – no background music – which allows great conversations without going hoarse yelling above the din. We have been a number of times over several years, and like to take out-of-town guests – a place visitors to Seattle would never hear about or find on their own. Thank you, Nell's, for another outstanding evening!“
“We got the croque madame, french onion soup, and bacon quiche! Everything tasted amazing, and the food came with a large portion of vinaigrette dressed salad. We left extremely full and satisfied! Service was super kind and fast :) They give complimentary bread too! Very calm and inviting environment. Would definitely come back.“
“Some of the most generous, friendly, attentive service in Seattle.We visited on a whim on a Tuesday evening, and we were the only guests during our time there. There was a server whose shift ended shortly after taking our orders, so it was just us and the owner/chef afterward. Really felt more like we had been invited into a family home to eat.The food is pretty good, very homey. Gigantic portions.Salmon penne - it could have used more vegetables, basil, and salt (or maybe just less pasta). The owner suggested adding more stuff at home to the leftovers, which I did, and it was great!Chicken marsala - can't go wrong with a cream, mushroom, and white wine sauce. Very good, and well seasoned.The menu and interior do feel a bit dated as others have said, but it didn't bother us. But I really think the specials menu should include prices.“
“Pancita was sooo good! One of the better meals I have had recently. We got the tuna tostada, brisket suadero tacos, and the half chicken and mole. All the flavors were incredible, and I loved the ambience of the restaurant. Excited to come back!“
“I’ve been dining here for several years, including with a group of “foodie” diners. It’s always excellent in every way. On long light days you can enjoy the view over the sound to the mountains. It’s stunning. And so is chef Toshi’s innovative and delicious cuisine. It’s the best Japanese fusion I’ve ever had. I could eat there everyday!“
“Although finding parking is a bit of a challenge, this place did not disappoint. I chose a variety of items to try, the regular croissant, the chocolate hazelnut croissant, the pan au chocolat, and the Kouign amann. Each and everyone of them was amazing. Perfectly flaky and soft all at the same time, the flavors out of this world.“
“Came for a date with my husband and enjoyed a cozy rainy night in an intimate setting. We had a wonderful time! Location: We made reservations for a Sunday night at 6pm online. Located in Pike Place we were seated indoors upstairs side by side where we had a nice view of the ferris wheel at night. Service: We had a very kind gentleman who provided excellent service and was so friendly. Food: - French onion soup - very delicious and great portions. My husband and I shared everything - fois gras - this was our favorite item of the night! So good! - half baguette with butter - very tasty bread - pork tomahawk - we ordered this because it seemed to be highly recommended. It was tasty but overhyped... we've had better at other restaurants. We felt it lacked some elevated flavor but it was nicely cooked and juicy. Potatoes and veggies were a nice addition. - filet mignon steak with blue cheese- the steak was also perfectly cooked. Very tasty and really enjoyed the salad - the fries were ok. - creme brulee - standard dessert but nicely done. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal here!“
“This place is beyond belief, the food is FIRE, the view is BREATHTAKING, the staff is smart and clever and cool and GORGEOUS!!!! What a full on sensory journey that will leave you feeling satiated and sexier than ever. P.s.... Best crab cakes in town don't sleep on em.“
“so cute and cozy little spot! made reservations and got sat super quick, took a little while to get our food but didn’t mind too muchservice was good and vibes were right! alot of older folks but didn’t feel out of place(:overall 10/10i loved the puff pastries for dessert !“
“Loved the atmosphere, yet surprisingly small number of diners for a 6:30 Saturday reservation. The calamari was the best- grease free and crunchy. Good quality bread and well made mixed salad.The main, "ravioli", was a $30+ abomination. ONE unimpressive ravioli circled with way too many chopped vegetables in a weird sauce crowned with a frizzy addition hiding the disappointment below. AVOID THIS DISH!!“
“I tried the crab doughnut and the smoked scallops as well as the black cod and the fries. The scallops and black cod were really great. The doughnut was good, but not flavorful enough to go out of your way. The fries were average and the aioli was just plain mayonnaise, it seemed. Black cod is always good, and this is no exception. The scallops were really delicious and I wished there were more. I had to stop on the way home for a burger. I wish the portions were 50% bigger. The value for money is not great here like all the restaurants in this group (Whale Wins, etc). Also, the restaurants are always a little cold. This might be nice in the summer, but usually I can never shake the cold when I am at these restaurants (the tendency towards them serving cold dishes doesn't help).“

“Stopped in on a Saturday morning for brunch while we were in town. We all loved the food and drinks, everything was delicious! Among the plates we had was the french toast and salmon benedict. The service we received was also amazing, everyone was so friendly! Will definitely be back the next time we are in Seattle!“
“We absolutely loved it here! Fantastic service and everything was delicious. Cozy and relaxed atmosphere. We ordered the escargot special, a charcuterie plate, frisee salad, and duck confit. The duck leg was huge and crispy, served over very tasty whipped potatoes. My favorite though was probably the chocolate mousse dessert special! A memorable meal on our vacation.“
“Best chocolate croissants in the city. Love the people that work here as well. It has become something I sincerely look forward to on the days that I come into the office. I know Carolyn and the team put a lot of work into the pastries and it shows. I'm inclined to go make peace with the Madison location just so I can enjoy the croissants more often.“
“I had the tasting menu. Bateau is of course famous for their wide menu of beef cuts, but since I was eating alone, most of them were too big. And it turns out (they don't tell you this) that the tasting menu gives you two different cuts, one more tender, the other more tasty.Surprise! The non steak dishes were as good as the steak! Nice variety, nicely composed. They only have four red wines by the glass -- I wish they'd have more -- but I've got to say that the Cahors was one of the best I've ever had, and the St Émilion was also good.“
“Spencer at the Martina location was impeccable. It was our first time at Red cow and our anniversary and we felt special. The card at the table was a nice touch and the surprise champagne for the occasion was delightful. Thank you.We ordered the escargot, chicken liver and the burger. All great.“
“Excellent, fresh, and healthy food. Individuals working there where extremely kind. I highly recommend this establishment and would love to see them branch out into Bothell/Woodinville/Kirkland areas.Vegetarian options: Your tastebuds will Thank you ?Parking: Ample parking“

“This is a great place for breakfast and coffee. The service is friendly and efficient. I had an egg benedict croissant and an americano. It was all perfectly done and it's a place I'd like to visit more often, maybe try the bakery too.Parking: There's a big parking lot. You won't have problems finding a place even if it does get a bit busy around 10am.“
“I really enjoy this restaurant. The staff is great super helpful and genuinely kind. They made the experience better in every way, from food to drink recommendations. Food was delicious we loved everything we got from the beet salad to the burgers.“
