this included a trip to the breakfast bar - where i was able to load up with butter, whipped cream,…read morestrawberries, and a couple other fruits also came with a cup of syrup Whew - so this was a sugary rush. I don't know if I've ever consumed so much sugar in as short of a time period as I did here On each piece (that already came with powdered sugar) I spread whipped cream, poured syrup, and ate with butter Being french toast itself has some strong built in advantages - so I can really only compare this against other french toast So while I do wish there was something more solid with this meal - I did know what I was ordering going in The portion size was really good - there were three pretty decent-sized pieces of bread Each piece had an interior that was nice and fluffy but a bit too airy for me - I would've prefered a more solid interior of the bread Eating the toast didn't feel like you were eating something with weight behind it - it felt light - even though the three slices added up to make you full Going off that, the outside of the bread was pretty soft as well - I would've liked it to be more crispy As for the toppings - I thought the syrup was quite good - it complemented the top side of the bread in a nice way Similarly, the whipped cream added a pretty good flavor to the top. It also helped a good amount with the strawberries The butter I'm not sure on. It was hard to spread given the softness of the toast - and I could see that any attempt to spread it would result in the toast breaking apart. Eventually I decided to break off small pieces of butter and eat them at the same time as my toast bite.

I came here for brunch over Valentine's Day weekend. I usually visit the Ballard or SLU locations,…read moreso this was my first time at this particular spot. We made a reservation ahead of time and were seated shortly after arriving, which I appreciated. My partner ordered the Vegan Banana Pancakes with a side of potatoes, and I had the Rancher's Breakfast with French toast. Overall, the food was good, but I was really disappointed with the French toast -- it was soggy and not what I expected. Everything else was solid. The service was decent, but when we asked questions about the menu, our server didn't seem very familiar with it, which made ordering a bit less smooth. Unfortunately, the overall atmosphere didn't feel as clean or inviting as the Ballard and SLU locations, and that impacted the experience for me. Because of that, I probably wouldn't return to this location, though I'd still visit the others.

Best to approach southbound on Aurora. (Otherwise, take Linden and turn on 79th.) The menu is typically breakfast/lunch fare: pancakes/french toast, omelets, benedict's, along with sandwiches, burgers and soups. They also offer additional daily specials, and a kids menu. The food is delicious and very well prepared. This is a family owned restaurant and there is always a smile and gratitude for the customers. There is a Mexican grocery store on the other end of the block, offering a multi-purpose adventure!

I had dinner on Wednesday night with a big group. For drink, I had the Thyme traveler, which is…read moremade of verjus blanc, giffard alcohol free ginger, thyme syrup, and apple. The drink was refreshing and I liked it a lot. Regarding food, I thought the appetizers were stronger than the entrees. We had a grand time enjoying the appetizers including burrata, French fries, and focaccia. Everyone went crazy for the fries. Burrata was placed on top of spice-roasted delicata squash and topped with apple balsamic, pomegranate, hazelnut with a side of toasted baguette. I thought the burrata was the best dish out of all. For entree, I had braised short rib with pappardelle port cream sauce, blistered tomato, and sage. I thought the sage had an interesting flavor - it tasted like it was roasted to a crisp. On the other hand, I probably should've gotten something else because I don't really like sweet pasta dishes, and port cream sauce was exactly that. The combination of short rib and pappardelle felt kind of excessive and I was struggling to swallow at times. I appreciate that I had the opportunity to try several dishes during a work event so I didn't have to shell out for the food, but I'm not sure if I'd be back to buy food for myself here again.

Nice that they have regular test, low test and no test drinks depending on how much alcohol you want. Food was very tasty, we had the lobster pasta and the fajitas. The tortillas were very flimsy so messy but still nice flavor and good amount of food.. started with the hummus which is what I was told to try there and yes a creative hummus plate... which brings me to the only hiccup... The chef gets creative at times and apparently edamame is in season so randomly added to the hummus even though not on the menu. Found out half way through then had to verify what beans they were and couldn't eat rest of dish. Server was awesome about it and wasn't a problem but if you have any allergies be aware the menu MAY not be exact so make sure you ask if there are any "enhancements" if you have any known issues. Overall highly recommend.

Very popular spot; but it was my first and last time for dinner here…read more Food was fine, ratings from 3 to 4 stars at my table for hummus, crispy nigiri, chicken parmesan, and a burger. But a couple other things just spoiled it.... Service was slow, the server mostly absent, and the starters and the main dishes were served all at once. I wonder what the server was thinking a "starter" was supposed to be.... This was during an evening in February and the place was way overheated , I estimated something close to 80F where we were sitting. Cocktails were fine and I will come back to just sit at bar for that, but the dinner experience was just not for me at Joey's.

Overall, I would come back just for the sugarkelp pita because the other dishes are quite overpriced for what you get. The sugarkelp pita, as the name suggests, is a bit sweet and has seaweed. The umami and sweetness just works perfectly and the dip of carrot shmoo and salsa macha is addictingly good. The salmon bowl is a glorified rice bowl / bibimbap-like where you can make the bowl complete by mixing everything. The salmon is quite tender and fresh, but outside of that, for $36 it is quite steep, especially since the salmon is very tiny Service is okay - there is a lack of attention with water refills spilling the table and when I paid my card, the server placed the card directly on top of some food dropped in the table... but requests are fulfilled and food comes out at a relatively fast pace.

As we were waiting to…read morebe seated (after a 30 min wait) we saw two women cut the entire line behind us (30 plus people) and get seated before the long line. We even said something to them about the line assuming they didn't see and they said they'd told the host. I don't think the host realized what happened, but it started the experience off on a bad note. There were water cups but water wasn't filled until 30 minutes in when we asked. I got an iced tea with no sweetener. I had to ask and then it was a limited assortment and the sugar was chunky (old, exposed to water?). They were out of two of the vegetarian options: veggie patty for their burgers and the fried artichokes. We were there two hours after opening so it seemed odd that they were out already. Maybe they had a big party of vegetarians before us. Everyone felt incredibly stressed out and the atmosphere was chaotic. There was no proactive service. I had to flag people down to ask for water, sweetener, a refill. Everyone was rushing around and not paying attention to basics like empty drinks (even empty beers). They were definitely understaffed. The staff that were there were trying, but it affected the experience. The food was actually very good. The jerk cauliflower was tasty and the chicken parm sandwich was good according to my dining companion. Large portions and flavorful. I hesitate to write bad reviews and just attribute things to bad nights but this was definitely notable. I've wanted to try this place for a while but I wish we'd gone somewhere else.

Docking one star bc twice now, I've had some rando [choice expletive] student come up to my table and say they need to relocate my group to another table bc they have an event they booked in the space and need to set up--well before their booking time begins. Most of the patrons are chill, but whichever student group is booking the space is annoying af. It's the single downside of this spot.

The sign out front advertised blossom corn dogs, and there was no way we were passing that up. You order at the cashier, and the setup is self‑serve. Food is brought out to your table based on your number, while drinks come with a buzzer for pickup. We tried the Blossom Lattes, which tasted like a rose latte, though a bit sweeter than I prefer. The Blossom Corn Dogs were definitely the highlight: half mozzarella stick, half wiener, coated in sugar and drizzled with pink mayo sauce. They reminded me of a Korean hot dog -- fluffy breading, perfectly crunchy from the deep fry, and surprisingly fun to eat. I did walk away with a full-on sugar coma afterward, but it was worth it for the novelty. Overall, a cute spot to pop into during cherry blossom season.

Mac and cheese was really goos and we reordered it, and the burrata was great, though I don't remember much about it. For the brunch, the main meals were good. I had their breakfast sandwich and it was tasty and of the right size. Their bread pudding was tasty though it was more of a French toast in a sweet gravy vs a gooey pudding. Interesting twist and it worked. Overall a great place. The service was exceptional and 2 people that took care of us were outstanding. I've been adopting a lower tip approach in Seattle owing the increase in minimum wage, and would like us to get to a European low tip or tip optional situation. This restaurant owing their amazing service made it hard to tip low, but I still had to to stick with my principle. Highly recommend this place for a nice sit down meal.

The guru finds himself in Seattle looking for local fare. This is another place you yelpers said…read morewas good but I have some reservations. I came in super curious about this scallop dish they had. Now I've had scallops every which way possible. Scallops are so yummy they are next to impossible to ruin. But this dish called "oven fired bay scallops" changed my mind. It's basically scallops baked in cheese sauce. I took one bite of this thing and spit it out. I never thought I would hate a scallop dish but this is it. This is an absolute hot mess of a dish that should be taken off the menu and never be made again. The baking basically overcooked the scallops to the point that they are like rubber balls. On top of that all that cheese overpowered the subtle taste of the scallops to such a degree that I couldn't even taste the scallops. Then I tried their prawn appetizer. the chef made this one spicy. There was so much spice on it I could barely taste the prawn. I had to scoop it off the prawn before I could eat it. Those prawn were actually tasty and fresh and perfectly cooked. It really needed nothing more than some lemon juice. Then I had their rigatoni which was ok but the sausage that was in it was also a little spicy. What is this chef's obsession with spice? another thing I noticed was I was trying to find something light but they don't really have anything light. all of their pasta has a traditional tomato sauce or a cream sauce. All their salads are bit and full of cheese. Their pizzas are sizeable and full of toppings. This menu seriously needs to be redone. add a few light dishes and ditch some of the heavy ones. Overall food is decent enough for 4 stars but I am deducting a star for those two terrible appetizers. This is clearly the result of a young chef trying too hard. This chef needs to learn that sometimes less is more.
