Meh...pretty steeply priced for average fare. Very short beer list. Cheese plate had more fruit and flatbread than cheese (only two types). Might be back. The frites were quite tasty, though. read more

- 50 minute wait for food. During this time our waitress came by just once and offered an extremely curt response of, "don't worry your food is coming" - happy hr is not offered if you sit down at a table...only at the bar. First time I've seen that before. - food was as average as average can be read more

Slow service, high prices, limited menu. The food and atmosphere were good, but...

Really mixed results. Our party of four ordered two different salads and soups. Salads were very good and soup was very average. Three of us ordered steak and one scallop pasta. Steaks were a nice cut and cooked as ordered but the sauce was so salty to make it almost inedible - tasted like soy sauce. Scallops were undercooked by a minute or two which with scallops is a lot .Pasta was cooked el dente but I think that the capers were in a salt brine because this dish was also quite salty. Corkage fee was $20 a bottle which is very much on the high end. Quite disappointing overall. read more

I've been here for happy hour 6 or 7 times but last night (8-27-15) was my first time for dinner. Everything in the past has always been good enough for me to come back when I'm in upper QA, but after last night I don't think that I will be coming back. The squash blossoms where great and so was my beer but that's about it. The oysters where served warm on rock salt, not ice...I ate one and couldn't bring myself to have another. The burger was under seasoned and the bun was to much bun for the burger. The burger wasn't really the biggest deal because after all, its just a burger, what really did it for me was the cook on the grill station making it. I lost count of how many times he pulled his cellphone from his pocket to check/text and return to prepping, cooking, and plating food without ever washing his hands, or dipping them in a bleach bucket. Fun fact: each square inch of your cell phone contains roughly 25,000 germs, making it one of the filthiest things you come in contact with on a daily basis. The fact that he was going to plate with food that was going straight to the table and peoples mouths is pretty nasty to think about....side bar...I only check FB with my phone...I only check FB when I'm taking a poo. Anyways, within the first 4 hours of my day, I checked my FB page 3 time. (Get It?!) I don't know if it was from the warm oysters or the cellphone cook, but what I am pretty sure about, is that it was from eating at Betty last night! Cheers, -HMIII read more

Was expecting more with a main picture looking like pure bliss. Turns out that was just a limited time only deal. They should take that off the profile! At any rate I had the Steak Frites but had the fries substituted and was pleasantly surprised to have everything over salted. The meat was not the best cut and was not cooked to reflect my order. The appetizers we order were the meat plate and cauliflower both lacking in the taste department. read more

I'm a little bit biased here, okay, very biased. I work as a hostess at Betty, but thank God I started working here, because I doubt I would have ever stopped to discover the wonder that is Betty. I know that even if I ever stopped working there, I would be a regular fixture. By far one of the my favorite places to eat, ever. I recommend the Pan Roasted Chicken, and the Steamed Manila Clams are to die for. Dip your bread in the sauce and sausages, you'll fall in love. I recommend Betty to anyone and everyone I meet, and would dine there every night if I possibly could. Hands down, Betty is bomb. read more

Love Betty! They have a great happy hour with very nice wine pours! All the food I have ever had there has been amazing. Very friendly staff and wonderful atmosphere. I try to get here as often as I can! read more

Loving Crow, we were super excited to try Betty. It didn't turn out to be a great experience, with our waitress zoning out in the middle of our ordering and even counting tables under her breath as we were asking about the menu...when she finally realized that we were talking to her, she snapped to and said "oh, sorry, what?" it was very bizzare. The mozzerella appetizer we ordered could've come off an Olive Garden menu, my $22 steak was about 70% fat and the duck was very, very dry. The best part of the night was the bottle of champagne we brought ourselves (which the waitress suggested we wait to drink until after we had cocktails from the bar...????) and the rhubarb pie at the end of the meal. Sorry, Betty...but you have a long way to go to live up to your relatives (Crow.) read more

Big fan of this place. Walked in on a Friday night with no reservations and they sat us both right away at the open Kitchen bar area. Servers were great. Food was fantastic. I'm not a pasta guy but I was watching then make it from scratch and had to get it, perfect. Wife got the burger (just because you are staring at them making it all night, you just need to order one for the table) and it was one of her favorite. Octopus for the app was cooked perfect. Really looking forward to going back. (and the Gin cocktail was excellent). read more

Live next to this fine establishment, and never been disappointed. The happy hour is great! Steak frittes, manchego wrapped in grape leaves, sometimes mussels, sometimes clams...the menu changes seasonally. If you are ever there when they have their carrot cake...ORDER it! Best damn thing I have ever put in my mouth. The perfect icing! Their pastry chef is very inventive, but this is by far their best on the menu. Not there right now... :( It is always fun watching the cooks make your food when you are seated at the counter. Easy on the eyes=bonus. read more

Had a friend visiting from the east coast and took her to Betty since I knew the food would be great. We had a wonderful time and the best scallops I've had since moving to Seattle ten years ago. read more

I like Betty and feel that over the last year that it has been open it has improved. We've gone for later dinners and desserts a few times now and I do feel like it gets better each time. It's well priced, and the selection is ok (when it first opened I was disappointed with the selection not being broad enough -- i think their menu has grown just a little bit, or it has improved so that their standards are more appealing). They have a fairly long bar -- which is a fun place to grab a quick dinner and see every thing being made. Net-Net: Like it but not love it. read more

The relaxed atmosphere of Betty is the perfect setting for a casual Queen Anne cocktail or dinner. Bartender Angie makes perfect martinis and Manhattans Food is served piping hot, and the wait staff are quick and friendly. read more

Betty's a hotty! Been wanting to try it out for a while and finally got a chance to have dinner there with a friend. Betty has a great casual atmosphere, it was busy on a Thursday night but not too loud for comfortable conversation. Betty has a good wine selection; I'm currently on a Spanish wine kick and our waiter recommended a great Tempranillo blend that was excellent. Betty's menu is short and sweet; most of the bases are covered without giving you that feeling of being overwhelmed by choices. Betty's gnocchi with chantrelles was awesome! And Betty's service was great as well! read more

This has become our "go-to" place for great food. It gets better every time we go. The burger is great, the chicken is great, and the cassoulet was amazing when we went. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu - check it out! read more

Betty is my favorite restaurant on Queen Anne. The Betty Burger is my go to: tasty burger cooked to perfection no matter how you order it, tangy sauce, fresh toppings and a savory bun. Yum! The roast chicken is always excellent as is the ribeye, both generous cuts of savory meat. The cassoulet is a must during the winter. Great appetizers such as oysters and bruschetta and sinful, creative desserts plus a great wine list and boozy cocktails. Yum! read more

I have always had a great experience at Betty. Yummy appetizers, great pours! I highly recommend it!

Came here on a weeknight during happy hour but they only do the happy hour menu in the bar/lounge and chef's counter (where you really can watch the chef's in front of you). We really wanted to sit on the gorgeous patio though. But, apparently Sunday-Tuesday they have an entire bottle list of wines for $20. Ordered a nice French white. Their regular wine menu is fantastic as well. Great variety and prices. The patio is very clean and overlooks the other buildings and the parking lot below. There's some lights strung around above the seating for when it gets dark. Unfortunately we didn't get to see these lights get turned on because we left pretty early. I love that the menu is seasonal and uses local ingredients when possible. We decided to to try the Albacore tuna special, green bean salad and two oysters. The albacore tuna was pretty dry and under seasoned. I almost wanted to send it back. Also I didn't know it was going to come on a bed of green bean salad. Of which we had already ordered a full serving of. But we kept the tuna. The salad was made with local green beans and was fairly large. I can't imagine either of us being able to try to finish it on our own. We enjoyed it though. Loved the oysters with the red wine mignonette sauce. We actually had to order another helping of these. Great texture and flavor. The mignonette went really well with it. Service was excellent and I want to try the other items on their menu before it changes. read more

I find Betty's food to be very average. I have eaten here a few times, never by my choice and every time I have been the food is just ok or seriously lacking seasoning. The service is good, wine list is good and desserts are decent, but the rest of the food is unmemorable. I think there are to many good places to eat in seattle to just eat the same old thing all the time here. I honestly think the only reason it's busy is because there aren't really a lot of restaurants to choose from in Queen Anne so average food and walking distance is better than nothing. read more

When I come to Betty, it's almost all seats occupied! I picked the Betty burger, 70% is just right for me. All food tastes great. But a little slow as I wait for my order for 30mins. read more

See all

Happy hour last week- food, drinks and ambience was low key & casual. Portions on HH was quite generous, especially the tacos and cheese plate. Staff was attentive w/o being in the way! read more

The lamb and steak was superb! Great portion sizes and nicely cooked meat. Clean dining area and pleasant staff. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the seats were so uncomfortable. read more

Sit at the food bar and watch the chefs do their thing.. these people are great and the end product is excellent. 5 stars all the way

Decent beer selection at a decent price since the place is fairly nice. Cheese plate is lacking since you get about two pieces of cheese and a apricot. It should be complimentary i its this small of a plate. No dinner ordered. read more

Excellent atmosphere and service. Elegant, yet simple hearty food. Service is very attentive

Had a green bean tomato salad with chevre dressing. Very good. Split lamb kabobs and asparagus with husband. Very mediocre. My biggest problem with this restaurant is their limited menu. But, great service and a fun and funky little neighborhood place. read more

I've only been here once, but the meal I had comes back to me in my dreams. I'm not joking. Whenever I get hungry, I think about that wonderful white bean soup with kale and the lamb. The lamb was absolutely out of this world! If I had not been in public, I would have licked the plate. read more

We've been to Betty 4 times in 2 weeks, it's that good. We love the food, the drinks, and the dessert. Our faves have been the tortilla chicken soup, the lamb tagine, the burger, and the whiskey chocolate pudding pops for dessert. Really tasty and unique dishes, and the staff is always nice. It's our local favorite restaurant. read more

I really like Crow and Betty. Good food, good service, fair prices. I am really sad about the pork chop being taken off the menu but they have other good stuff to eat too. But, the pork chop is the best pork chop I have ever eaten anywhere, hands down. read more

Best burger I've had in Seattle! My only wish is that they offered gluten-free buns. (Hint, hint) Otherwise, the atmosphere is intimate and classy without being pretentious. Our server was very polite. Great spot for a date night! read more

Have been to Betty countless times and never left disappointed. There's something for everyone on the menu. Good service. Food is fresh, high quality and flavorful every time. Great food, amazing desserts and a good wine list. One of my go-to places for a night out. read more

Excellent value & food. Currently best menu 9/17 we have ever enjoyed. Outstanding pork ribs and the long standing everyday ribeye and chicken are some of best in Seattle. Unpretentious and straight forward neighborhood restraunt, Queen Anne your luckily to have Betty's! Currently the pesto pasta (light olive oil sauce-not heavy cream) and tomato/Buratta salad are also A treat. ENJOY! Great service, Julia is awesome. read more

I just recently moved to Seattle but I've already ate at Betty three times! Two out of three were all very important diners for me and my husband. We went to Betty to celebrate our engagement when he proposed to me last year and we went back to Betty again this year when we introduced our parents to meet with each other for their first time before the wedding! I love the environment at Betty. It's a little bit dark and romantic. I also love their frequent changing menu, and there are only three or four options for appetizers, soup& salad, main course, and desert. I love this kind of menu because It won't take you too long to decide what you want. Each choices are all made out of seasonal fruits and vegetables, so you won't go wrong with any decision. Services are excellent here as well. I highly recommend Betty to everyone who come to Queen Anne for a special supper! read more

Great atmosphere and food. The lamb shank was by far the favorite but also enjoyed trying out the couscous beet dumplings.

As Cher Horowitz (from Clueless, duh) would say: What a total betty! Can I just say that the NWSource "30 for 30 Urban Bites" program is awesome? It gives people a chance to try out quality restaurants for a great bargain. Betty was one of those places I'd always meant to visit, but it just seemed far out of my way (the exotic land of... Upper Queen Anne!) and a bit pricey, the kind of outing you plan for, not just randomly drop in and bust out $100 for a meal, you know? Of course the 30 for 30 thing isn't quite as thrifty when you take into account that I am compelled to add a bottle of wine plus post-dinner coffee, perhaps a cocktail, etc... but regardless... saving money! Or at least that's what I have to tell myself. For two people tonight it was $97. Do with that what you will. Anyway! It's a cute restaurant in a cute neighborhood. We immediately got a window seat in the back corner, a little secluded but cozy and nice. Our server was professional, helpful, and very attentive yet never intrusive. He suggested the perfect bottle of bordeaux blanc, which was a lovely accompaniment to everything we devoured. And I mean everything; I was insanely starving and decided to fully commit to multi-course gluttony. It was a wise choice. We destroyed the little complimentary bread and olive oil plate in about two minutes. I then started out sampling venison pate with sour cherries, which really reminded me of Germany. It wasn't something I'd normally jump at, I'm not crazy about pate, but I just like to branch out. My entree was sweet potato ravioli with shaved parmesan, toasted hazelnuts, crispy sage, and brown butter... okay, do I even have to say how delicious it was? Just read the description. My friend ordered grilled prawns with saffron risotto. It was topped with lavishly truffled watercress, which she bequeathed to me since she doesn't like truffle oil, all the better because I LOVE it! Our dishes were so different from each other, but both amazing. Then dessert was chocolate souffle cake with coffee ice cream and mango sorbet with a shortbread cookie assortment, accompanied by Caffe Vita coffee. Once again... perfect! We were so full, yet could not stop EATING! Restaurants like Betty make me think I could just eat forever... when I next return it's time for me to hit up the steak frites and sweet potato creme caramel. Now I'm at home watching an episode of A&E Intervention featuring a morbidly obese guy to remind myself that I cannot, in fact, eat forever. Or I too will be 500 pounds, completely broke, and need my own intervention. It miiiiiight be worth it, though... think about how much sweet potato ravioli I could consume before reaching the point of life-threatening emergency... read more

Got in with no rezzies just before they closed and ate mounds of steak! Holy protein rush! It was so good! Go and check it out. It was pricey for me but the steak was really well prepared. read more

Had dinner about a month ago with a friend and was impressed with the latest addition to the top of QA. Service was great, loved the atmosphere and everything we ordered was delish! Back bar seems like a great place to grab some drinks with friends if you are in the area. read more

Nice little restaurant on Queen Anne hill. I dined with three others and everyone expressed much happiness with their meals. If I had a criticism it would be that the menu can be a bit limited but I'd rather go to a restaurant that does a few things very well than one with a large list of choices that taste like they came from Costco. I will second another review regarding the presence of children. This place gives off a quiet dinner, date night vibe but there were multiple families with kids. I couldn't figure it out. Give Betty (and Crow) a try! read more

Good. But not cravable by any means. I had the ribeye with frites and the boyfriend had the burger...Both looked amazing but were lacking in flavor. Use some interesting seasoning or herbs guys. Cmon! Just do it. I do want to go back and try their happy hour...Maybe I would be happy with that, but 80 bucks for 3 cocktails and 2 entrees...Meh, gimme flavor!!!! Also, Our server didn't offer us cocktails before asking for our order...Rookie mistake? I dunno... read more
