Best Restaurants with Dancing in Capitol Hill / First Hill

I am a long time fan and customer of Carmine’s restaurants. I still go to the original Seattle location. But I also love the Bellevue location as well.. It is all not just good, it’s exceptional! Food, service, atmosphere, and overall ambience are of the highest quality. Truly a special place.

Absolutely delicious, and such gorgeous low-key decor with a beautiful view. Artichoke app special was especially good, as was the ricotta cake. Easy parking situation too. Only issue is that it can get loud with a full house and large party in the private room.

I came to Seattle for a conference and this was the number one restaurant on my list to check out. Well worth it! I’m only sorry I was dining alone at lunchtime because I wanted to try every single item on the menu. I landed on the halloumi and fig kabobs with the most wonderful smashed, garlic, roasted potatoes. The plate was beautiful and delicious. I plan to come back again before before my conference ends. Dare I say it was worth the flight across the country? I think so.😊

My favorite foodie hangout. Great small plates plus delicious mains. The owner, Hallie, is a champagne aficionado, so the bubbly is sublime yet affordable. Hard to find that in this town. Plus great decor and an attentive, friendly, even jovial crew, with bartenders who live to create. And we never feel rushed to gobble up and leave. A perfect Capitol Hill haunt.

We went on the OOLA distillery tour and decided to have dinner at OOLA Capitol Hill afterwards — BEST DECISION, and such a fun way to spend the afternoon. The signature burger and fries are BY FAR the best burger I’ve ever had. My husband and I each had a cocktail, and they were superb. The staff were really nice and the atmosphere was really relaxed and fun. We had a great time! We live about an hour away from Seattle and I’m not exaggerating when I say that we will be driving back for that burger again!
