Service was attentive, drinks were great, food was good, and ambiance was cozy and comfortable. The Brussels sprout appetizer was amazing. We were told that the place suffered under previous management but that new management had made changes - based on our experience Smith is back. Give it a try Seattle. Cheers!

Smith is an excellent restaurant!…read more I recently went to Smith with a gal group that I am a part of and I was very impressed with the food quality and the service. The service was a bit slow the day we were there, but probably because we were such a big group. I had the breakfast poutine with mushroom gravy and it was excellent. They have a limited selection of vegetarian options, but the ones they do have are delicious and served warm and fresh. They also have an excellent selection of mimosa flavors. They were a great spot for brunch on the hill. The staff were very nice, kind, and efficient and gave great recommendations. The vibe was very much western traditional meets casual. I really liked the vibe and the music (although a bit loud). Overall, myself and my group had a great time and I highly recommend Smith for a good brunch!

The food was amaze- quail and waffle had a great Thai inspired flavor and what can you complain about a thick pancake with a fruity curd. Will come again to impress someone!

As…read morea side comment, it would have been a nice touch to provide a bit of bread to sop up the sauce. One could purchase it separately, but one or two pieces would have sufficed. I ordered their signature dish: the crow lasagne. I am picky about lasagne and appreciate all combinations. This one did not quite hit the mark. The marinara sauce was bright and flavorful, but barely lukewarm. It was hard to tell whether this was deliberate. The lasagne itself was good, but the consistency was odd. It was almost as if the noodles were made of gnocchi (potato) dough. The ricotta and sausage had a nice flavor. I had debated whether to order the chanterelle pasta. One of my dining partners did, and after seeing it, I was glad I did not. The pasta looked as if it was cooked properly with a variety of mushrooms;, but I did not see any chanterelles. I would have been disappointed. The salmon filet and grilled vegetables were presented nicely. The clams in miso broth were an unusual presentation; the stark white shells and plate contrasted sharply with the brown broth. The broth was tasty though. The desserts were also a mixed bag. The ganache on the German chocolate cake was rich and delicious. The pumpkin basque cheesecake did not have the consistency of a typical basque cake, but had a good flavor. The sweet cream mousse topping on both desserts was a perfect accompaniment. A solid restaurant and definitely worth stopping in.

I've intended to visit this restaurant for a few years now. But finally, one hungover Sunday…read moremorning called for some pancakes to revive me. Most the reviews I read mentioned the pancakes are the best item to get, so my girlfriend and I couldn't resist. This location is tucked away in the North Capitol Hill neighborhood surrounded by trees and older apartments/ homes, and the interior is just as relaxing and quaint. It's dark lit, intimate with modern fixtures and flowers, and has one centerpiece which caught my attention before anything else: a restored tower espresso machine which appeared to be from the 1950's. I'd only seen an espresso machine like this at the Kent Bakke Espresso Museum in Ballard, so as a coffee nerd with an emphasis on espresso, it was lovely to see. It took us about 5 minutes to get seated at the bar which is outstanding time for a brunch spot in Cap Hill on a Sunday. We were able to order within 5 minutes of deciding what we wanted, which was the bacon egg sandwich with avocado spread, omelette with hearth roasted potatoes, an espresso, and the main event, the pancake. I can't express how much the pancake exceeded my expectations. It was wide and tall, extremely fluffy, had decadent bourbon whipped cream and cinnamon stewed strawberries which is something I've craved for a long time. The menu states to wait 20 minutes for the pancake to cook and they miraculously got it to us in 10. The other breakfast items were tasty but left something to be desired, so we ordered extra Romesco sauce and they gave us a tub of it which helped immensely because of how much flavor and complexity was packed in it. The espresso was very fittingly a traditional Italian style dark roast from Caffe Umbria Roasters which hits the spot when hungover. We were also lucky enough to have sat right next to the espresso machine and the bartender kindly let me take a video of him pulling a shot which still gives me joy to this day. Speaking of the bartender, he happened to be one of the chefs working at the bar due to them being down a waiter and a chef which really speaks to how kindly we were treated despite dealing with an extremely short staffed Sunday. Our waitress and the rest of the staff also made us feel welcome and not as an irritant when making requests which is hard to find in Seattle. Overall, my experience at Single Shot left an extremely positive impression on me. We were assisted quickly, never felt as a bother, and got exactly what we needed to recover and enjoy the rest of our day. We will be back for that pancake and will encourage our friends and family to visit!
