Get: Miso Roasted Mushrooms, Herb Crush Salmon, Katsu Chicken Peanut Salad Skip: Nothing we ordered The Herb Crush Salmon came with truffle beurre blanc, creamy mashed potatoes, preserved tomatoes and vegetables. It was a very good, well-rounded entrée. The Katsu Chicken Peanut Salad was another winner, with crispy chicken, julienned vegetables, peanuts and miso ginger dressing. It felt substantial enough to be a full meal rather than a salad you regret ordering when everyone else's food arrives. We shared the Miso Roasted Mushrooms, made with shallots and white wine, and those were excellent too. The Individually Baked Apple Tart was worth it, but took a while to arrive. We were asking for the check instead when it arrived. The wait was long, but the complimentary champagne and mocktails were a thoughtful touch, and the service throughout was great. Overall, another excellent meal at one of my go-to restaurants in Seattle.

Went to Joey at the U Village location since I love the food and was in the area. Walked in and…read morethey were able to move my reservation up from 5:30 to 3:30 P.M. Great first impression since this was my sister's first time at Joey, or so I thought. We get seated at the outside patio and we order water to start. The water glasses came in a very small glass and since it was hot out, we drank our cups fast. I asked our waitress if we could have a pitcher / jug / container of some sort explicitly saying we want to refill our glasses. I suppose there was a miscommunication because a different waitress brought a bottle and then 3 more glasses out. We were then charged $10 for the bottle. I really just wanted a pitcher of tap, ice cold water we could drink since our waitress was not attentive to us whatsoever. My frustrations lie with the service we were given. 3 people eating at Joey is NOT cheap. It took 20 minutes for us to order our drinks and appetizer. Our appetizer came out before our drinks. We waited another 15 minutes for our drinks after that. A different waitress brought them out so at this point we have three waitresses, have been there nearly 50 minutes in the heat, barely any water with NO ice, and still have not ordered our food. I am disappointed since it had died down and there were only 3 other tables occupied outside at this point. Our waitress finally asks for our orders and we wait another 20 minutes for our food to come out. My partner ordered a larger size steak - $7 more. When the plates were brought out my sides were paired with his steak on my plate and vice versa. We asked the waitress can you verify that the 7 oz. steak was present in front of one of us since we were paying more. She left and checked with the chef, but we had to wait even more time before we ate in case they needed to take our plates back. We eat our meal and finish with our plates cleaned, glasses empty, and all stacked with napkins on top indicating we were finished eating. Our waitress walked past multiple times without ever checking in on us. She walked by and I eventually waved my hand and asked for the check. I see the $10 bottle was charged and asked for it to be removed. Thankfully, they did. Food was good as I have eaten Joey at the Bellevue location, but for the $160 tab I am VERY dissatisfied with our service. For the time and money we spent I would have appreciated more check ins, our food plated correctly, and WAY faster service. All in all, we sat there for over an hour and half when it could've been an hour max. Also, we were served room temperature water on a hot day when other tables had ice. Hoping the managers work on service. Don't waste your hard earned time and money by visiting this location, just go to Bellevue. Never had this bad of service there ONCE.

The next time I was here, I made sure to get here incredibly early to get the lamb neck korma pie…read more I made a reservation at 5:30 to guarantee it. Based on availability, I probably could've walked in around an hour later and been fine, but didn't want to risk it since they only make like 30 in a day. To my great surprise, the dish came out just a couple minutes after ordering. It seems like the pie is already pre-made and they just pour korma over the top before serving. The server assured me that one would be for one person, so we each got one. From the moment it's presented, this looks like nothing you've seen before. The colors of the beige korma washing over the sturdy brown pastry is just a visually striking image. What's even crazier is there's so much that's obscured by this initial plating - things that you find out as you dig into the dish. After the first layer of pastry, the dish descends into a massive layer of lamb neck meat. And when I say massive, I mean the meat is so densely packed together into this pie you're left wondering how they fit so much into what's not a big shell diameter-wise. So, how is everything? It's amazingly good, at least for the first 3/4ths of the meal. I have to start with the pie crust, or the pastry shell, which is just perfect. The way it retains its shape, refusing to break down until real pressure is applied, is ridiculous. The texture is incredibly sturdy, and the taste is phenomenal. No matter what was placed inside this crust I would still enjoy it. It's crunchy, buttery, the inside wall is flaky, and the absolute highlight here. The korma is also very good. While certainly a westernized version of the sauce, lacking any spiciness and turning way more on the sweet side, it's still got enough flavor to be a great complement to the main pie. I do think a more acidic and spicy would've help offset the fattiness of the center item, but this sauce was still delicious on its own. Lastly, the lamb neck was great. Super fatty, of course, but braised to perfection, resulting in meat that's tender and melt in your mouth. Like I mentioned, there's an insane portion of meat here. Of course, this is all great until about 2/3 to 3/4th through the pie, where you begin to really feel the effects of an insane overload of fat. I can eat a lot of food, but this really started to wear on me. Here's where I have some slight issues - I think a) the inability to counteract the fat present and b) the amount of lamb neck needs to be toned down a bit, as ironic as asking for less meat might sound. One might have the attitude that if they're paying so much, might as well give them the most meat possible - but in my opinion, the best dishes are truly about balance. And when you can't expect someone to eat a dish and feel good about it afterwards, that's not the hallmark of a great dish. This could've been avoided if the server had mentioned that one pie could be split between two people, but that's not what she recommended. This resulted both me and my companion not finishing the meal, which I absolutely hate to do, but I was left with no choice in this case. The other part is the price. Each pie cost $50 each, which is a significant amount. Additionally, there was a 22% automatic tip even for a party of two, which is just way too high. The server didn't even tell us about this automatic tip which resulted in unintentionally tipping more on the tip pad. I would not hesitate to refer to this restaurant as overpriced. Overall, it's a truly inventive dish that's one of my favorite things I've eaten in Seattle, but the price and portion complicate things slightly. 9/10

There is no online sample menu for LB's breakfast that I was able to track down, so from memory they are currently offering: the English Breakfast (standard size), the Full English (which is 2x the English - pics included in post for comparison), steak and eggs, a biscuit breakfast sandwich, the Scotch egg (same as the one on the dinner menu), and an assortment of smaller plates (Bubble & Squeak, English muffin with rhubarb jam, porridge with fixings, etc.). They are also serving Bloodies and a variety of N/A beverages. Overall, we liked the English options - the standard size is plenty of food for the average appetite. I did not care for how strong the warming spices were in the black sausage; the spices were the predominant flavor - I like to taste the minerally undertones of the other ingredients. That's just a personal preference though! Bubble & Squeak was very tasty - a fun vegetarian option, or a good side for the table to share.

The longanisa had a texture that reminded me of childhood, and the Ilocos sausage (that is less fatty), was a nice contrast.

It was so insanely flaky and crunchy - just the absolute perfect level of each. It had such a satisfying dark brown color rather than the light brown you see on other fried chicken. You could tell this was truly fried in as much oil as possible - which you could also tell by how the breading was even slightly damp with oil and the bottom of the carton was still somewhat wet from the oil each bite of the breading was just absolute perfection the inside of the chicken was also astoundingly good - which i wasn't expecting. the first time I took a bite of the chicken meat itself - i was shocked by how well it tasted. This wasn't your boring old bland chicken you'd find somewhere else - it had fat to it - and even if the breading didn't exist I would still really enjoy eating the chicken the only thing i wish for is the breading had some spice to it - there pretty much wasn't any of that my next absolute favorite part was the buttermilk biscuits that i got as a side. These were baked so perfectly - with a tough exterior but a soft interior. The butter dipping sauce added to this was the best part of the entire meal - it was so addicting it was impossible to resist what drags this down slightly, though, is the greek fries. I didn't think these were good at all - while they were seasoned well with pepper throughout - the cheese was a) not well distributed and b) pretty infrequent. Also, the fries themselves were pretty hard to the touch but not crispy and didn't have any softness inside. The white sauce didn't taste very good either I will say the buffalo sauce that I added as a side was quite good What puts this meal over the top is the massive portion size. It did cost a good amount (24 dollars) - but 3 of that was the greek fries which I'll skip next time in favor of a side that doesn't cost extra. The pieces of fried chicken were MASSIVE - there was so much food contained in that basket. I wasn't even able to finish this entire meal. Given that you get this much fried chicken + two sides for a decent price, the value here is pretty damn good

I'm pretty easy to make happy. Even if the food is horrible, good customer service usually will overcome that. I did not see that at Eureka (!...?). First of all, I have to laugh, because I've noticed that the majority of the reviewers giving this place 5 stars, are their own employees. It's kind of sad they have to resort to this, but if you're flailing trying not to go under, I guess you have to do what you can. Second of all, the food is ho-hum. There's a good selection of beer, but you can find the same selection at many other places in Seattle; and with better food. My server was nice enough; she was well-informed and took care of us. We got the Jalapeño Egg Burger and Fish Tacos, and both were good, but nothing to write home about. The bar only has one type of vodka, gin, rum, etc. Umm...what? The managers were that corny "pretend-to-be-your-best-friend-but-really-I-hate-my-job" type. Smiling at customers' tables, then scowling/pouting the moment they turn the corner. Really puts you at ease! But don't fret, readers, I have some good news for you: the bathrooms were PRISTINE. Oh, and the music wasn't bad, so take your time in there! read more

Rating: (5/5) Stephen, the bartender at Eureka Bar, left a lasting impression on me during my recent visit. From the moment I sat down, his friendly and welcoming nature made me feel right at home. With an extensive knowledge of cocktails and a passion for mixology, Stephen's recommendations were spot-on, and his creations were a true delight for the taste buds. His attention to detail and presentation were impeccable, ensuring each drink was a work of art. What truly set Stephen apart was his ability to connect with customers on a personal level. He effortlessly engaged in conversations, creating a memorable and enjoyable atmosphere that went beyond just the drinks. Despite a busy bar, Stephen remained efficient and professional, never compromising on quality or customer service. His commitment to providing an exceptional experience was evident in his attentiveness to every request. Stephen's expertise, passion, and engaging service make him an exceptional bartender.

Going to be hard not to swear during this review as it was f&$%ing bomb af! Nice size menu (not to big which really helps make a choice, probably better for the kitchen as well). Anytime I see brussel sprouts, I gotta try, and I don't know if it's a Seattle thing but if Brussels were a rapper, they'd be LL Cool J as they scream "Dont Call It A Comeback!". Orange chili glazed worked great. I went for the jalapeno egg burger because I'm a spicy person first and foremost, but went with the arugula substitute for the bun as it sounded intriguing, most places just do a iceberg lettuce wrap, which really adds nothing to the symphony of flavors created by the well choreographed beef show on the plate, fries as well. I asked my server, Karissa, was knowledgeable and helpful, I asked her to pick me out an IPA, local (OBVIOUSLY), I like high IBU so she said she got me, and it was perfect so I got another. For Seattle (my home) as prices keep going up for obvious (good) reasons, the price point was very fair for the quality, read more

I am new to the area and already have a favorite spot. I have already eaten here quite a few times and find the food to be delicious, service to be fast and attentive, and the atmosphere to be fun and inviting. I have a one year old which can make dining out rather challenging. The servers quickly bring drinks and a little snack for my son to munch on (avocados and watermelon!). Mmmm. The fig or bone marrow burger are so flavorful. I love their truffle fries and fried chicken sliders. Their salmon and veggies are my absolute favorite with a lemon vinegrette that's out of this world. You can turn any salad into.a wrap ($1) which a great option to spice up your salad routine. I'll do this a lot for a salad on the go. My husband is in love with their bar. 40 American beers. 40 American whiskeys. Pretty awesome. Just go here already.

I literally saw more blood than i ever have before in my life while i was EATING and they just shrug it off.

Great ambiance, killer beer list (I enjoy a good manhattan and they definitely make a great one), and the food is on point. My most recent experience, I sat on the patio (perfect in the sun but can get super hot out there) and got some happy hour stuff. We ordered Truffle Cheese Fries, Riblets (YUM YUM) and Fish Tacos. Everything came out in a timely manner, our server was super friendly and funny and the food was delish. The highlight was definitely the riblets. Will for sure be back! read more

The food, hospitality and atmosphere are all wonderful!!! I have had the opportunity to try all appetizers, most burgers, and all salads...I have not found an item I have not liked. My favorites are the Fresno Fig Burger (add avocado), the Double Smash Burger (add over easy egg), the Napa Chicken (add avocado), and the Steak Salad in a wrap. ALL of the appetizers are to die for, and save room for dessert, because Wow! The management and TEAM are exceptional, and the atmosphere is always welcoming, whether it is a game day, or the music is playing! read more

Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon with a friend. They had 20+ beers on happy hour and another 20 handles to choose from (although these were not on happy hour). This place has a great beer selection with hard-to-find beers, like the Fremont B-Bomb and some great Bad Jimmy's beers. We also got a few appetizers, the falafel bites were delicious! Favorite thing about this place was the beer selection and the great service, both our server and the manager kept stopping by to make sure we were doing good. Will be returning soon! read more

This is probably one of the best restaurants at the U village! Talented chiefs made our food from fresh ingredients and made me feel very healthy and full! We ordered 8oz steak, hemp bowl,falafel bite and kids menu cheese quesaeilla. All the foods have a lot of character and it tastes fabulous!!!We would highly recommend this to reaturant to anyone. My daughter is very picky on her food and she give 10 stars not 5 starts, for trying out all the foods. Definitely check it out if you are in U village! read more

The menu is seasonal and changes pretty frquently, as we looked at the menu a couple of days prior where there was a truffle pasta, but ended up having to ordered a pasta with broccoli and kale, etc. We ordered the house made focaccia which was delicious! The olive and balsamic oil was really hitting too. Both pastas that were ordered were delicious, perfectly cooked al dente, and had a good balance of flavors. This place is quite pricey though,so will only be coming back for special occasions.

We had ordered a couple of the veggie pastas the friends raved about but it was nothing special. For the price they charge, the positions are extremely small and on top of that, they had an automatic 23% service charge regardless of the size of the party. Overall, I don't think this is a place worth the hype nor the price.

Stumbletown is a true carnivorous dream dining experience. Let's start with the menu it's simple. Your choice is duck or steak with an option for sauce. Why complicate things Yelpers, this place is "THE KISS" method so don't try and overthink things cause the chef doesn't . In case you're wondering I ordered the steak with Chimichurri sauce and this was layered over a mound of some of the best fries I've consumed in ages. Note they cook the flesh with a SOUS VIDE machine slow and low to make the meat tender and juicy. My guess are the fries had to be double fried in duck fat judging by the crunchiness and flavor... Yes for $25 I was served a steak mound of flesh over fries and loved every bite. Flavor bomb alert is the combo of steak , fries and Chimichurri smothered over the top IS AWESOME. Its a heavenly marriage of flavors for those seeking a sensual flavor experience... Note the homemade chimichurri sauce was a game changer as its expansion of the flavors is beyond anything imaginable. I only wish they sold by the bottle for home use it was that flavorful. Ok, by now you're savoring my photos and maybe licking your phone and I understand why , so just image how I felt actually eating. For beverages it's water ( free & self serve ) or a full bar of intoxicants you can walk up and order.... Keep in mind Stumbletown is a waiter free environment which is AWESOME ! I'm so full yet I am planning my out next flesh dining experience.. You'll wanna dine in this true hidden gem located in Ballard however selfishly I hope it stays hidden. Now stop reading , get in the car and share the experience in your mouth! FRANK B IS OUT !

I got the chimichurri sauce with the 4oz steak ($15), although you could also get the 8oz version for $25. Pro tip: ask them to cut the slices a bit thinner! It's a pretty open, natural lighting, and spacious. Great place to have a casual, but feels a bit more formal(?) dinner

UBE FRENCH TOAST - 5/5 I absolutely loved the French toast. The top and bottom had a perfectly crispy, crunchy exterior while the inside stayed soft and fluffy. The ube filling was light, creamy, and not overly sweet--I think it's made with cream cheese? It was the perfect balance of flavors. BREAKFAST MAC & CHEESE - 4.8/5 The mac & cheese was incredibly addictive and loaded with mushrooms, ham, and crispy hash brown bits. The flavors worked really well together. My only small complaint is that it was a little on the salty side. If it were slightly less salty, it would be perfect. We visited on a Sunday with a reservation, though there were still a few open tables around 2 PM. I highly recommend sharing your dishes since each one is pretty rich on its own. Pairing a sweet dish with a savory one made for the perfect meal!

They have pretty limited seating and take their time bringing the food out, so if you're planning…read moreto go I recommend reserving via Yelp ahead of time. The food was all very pretty and portion sizes were large! We were aware of this before coming through reading other people's online reviews, but the Ube French Toast tasted primarily of cream cheese. There's virtually no ube taste other than the ball of ube jam (?) ontop. This wasn't the biggest issue for us but I could see it devastating someone who came for a sweet creamy ube flavor explosion. I think with a menu like this, with a lot of creamy heavy items, having some fruit elements would've went a long way for me... The flavor combinations weren't really for me but I think they make sure to add many elements to each of their menu items to create a pretty comprehensive experience. So even though I didn't enjoy the taste of the food that much, I can definitely see other's enjoying it depending on their preferences and I do think they do the brunch concept justice. As a result I'll still give 4 stars. I don't think it wow'd me where I'd give it 5/5, its not a Seattle highlight restaurant I'd recommend to people visiting for 3-4 days.

I'm not from Seattle and wanted to try something I can't find at home, I struck gold. I was more than pleased with her friendly attentive service, as a restaurant manager myself I would highly recommend this location to anyone. I enjoyed my delicious chopped salad and chicken alfredo with a cold strawberry italian soda in their lovely patio. I would definitely come back just for the salad and Melissa. I wish I could rate more than 5 stars. Thank you for my delicious lunch and for being so kind.

We got a bunch of blue cheese...our fault on that one. Focaccia is amazing and with a glass a wine? Spectacular. The servers are so kind and great at their job as well! A bit on the pricey side!

You can choose to sit outside, but it was a bit windy when I went, so I decided to sit inside. I ordered the oysters, and they were all fresh and tasty. I also got the chips and clam dip, which ended up being my favorite dish. It was really flavorful and definitely something I'd order again. I also tried the signature chicken and clams. The clams were clean and cooked well, but in my opinion, they could have used a bit more depth of flavor, a tiny bit bland. The chicken was good overall, though I think a different sauce would have paired with it better. The service was attentive, and the vibes were great. Everything was nicely decorated and fit the waterfront atmosphere.

A couple of things really irritated me though: prices were different on website than they were in the restaurant (only about 5-10%), staff appeared uncaring about accommodating food allergies, and there were a couple of 'mandatory' service charges included . Overall, not an experience that I care to repeat. Lots of choices in this part of the city. I'll be going elsewhere in the future.

My two rellies split a salad, and the 5 piece fish & chips ($30 | not pictured). First of all, canned Ivars chowder is one of the best out there. However, nothing beats the real deal made fresh. The soup was silky, and packed w/ clams & bacon. Secondarily, the lettuce in the salad was really fresh. It stood up well to the dressing, that also had a lot of bacon. Thirdly, the prawns on the skewer were moist and nicely seasoned. Most seafood places overcook their seafood. Lastly, the fish & chips were very good. The kitchen split the dish, and each of my rellies looked like they had a full portion. I had one piece of fish and it was fresh. The batter was nicely seasoned and not too heavy. Regarding the ambiance, its spacious in here. You can get a great view of the water at the outdoor tables or a window seat. There are wood carvings of fish hanging from the high ceiling. Paul was a very good waiter. He was knowledgable about the menu and friendly. Nonetheless, we waited for a long time after the first course. I didn't see other tables get their food before ours. There was just too long of a wait for the entrees. All in all, a very positive experience. I would def return, or go to other Ivar's locations in Seattle.

The fish and chips have a kind of damp/slimy texture and it tastes like different fish than they used to serve. I also came with a large group for a birthday party for an out of town relative (I suggested the venue) and found out later that most of the party didn't like their food but were trying to be polite and didn't want to tell me. My food was ok that night so I didn't realize until someone told me how everyone else wasn't enjoying it. The views are still amazing and the staff and service are always stellar. The food quality just isn't what it once was. I'll stick to the clam chowder when I visit in the future!
