- JJudithSeattle / Eastern Washington •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoThis is one legendary restaurant that lives up to its legend. The food is out of this world. The service is brilliant. The room with a view is spectacular and the room in the lounge is cozy. This is a go-to place for special occasions.

- WWendySeattle / Eastern Washington •56 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThis is our first visit since the advent of the Kraken Hockey Team in Seattle and the place was hopping. Service was awesome even though it was super busy and loud. In about 45 minutes people left for the game and it was much less crowded and noise level much lower. Food was excellent and ambiance our favorite in Seattle. We will return but not on a game night.More infoToulouse Petit Kitchen & LoungePrice: Moderate• American• Queen Anne•4.6
- CCarolynSeattle / Eastern Washington •2 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoThe food was outstanding as was the service! The only minus is the parking situation; had to go several blocks up a side street to find parking. However, it won't keep us from coming back to this wonderful restaurant!

- BBrianvipSeattle / Eastern Washington •71 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoCame here last night to help Nell's celebrate their 25th Anniversary. Quite a testament to Chef and Owner Phil and his GM Skye to have managed to pull this off in such a brutal industry. The food is always fantastic, the service impeccable and the atmosphere so quiet, peaceful and romantic. We come here for almost every one of our special occasions. It's nice to see other regulars and especially nice to see younger couples giving this terrific spot a try. Try it once and you will be hooked.More infoNell'sPrice: Expensive• Northwest• Green Lake•4.9

The restaurant has high-ceilings and an open kitchen so it’s a bit noisy, but not so much that you have to shout at your table. Try the grits!More infoFlintCreek Cattle Co.Price: Moderate• Contemporary American• Greenwood•4.7
