Meat skewers

Great meal here!! Small little business with great food and a cute ambiance. Very reasonable prices and good service.

Gnocchi

Restaurant is named as the fiction novel written by Tim McDonald who is the owner of/ restaurant host. We enjoyed our meal and fabulous customer service. This place just opened in the main drag of Wallingford-- we will be back!

Gnocchi, skewers, and bruschetta

This. Place. Is. Fantastic. You really couldn't tell that they just opened. The menu is PERFECT as well as the food. The wine selection is also fantastic. We opted for the bottle of Syrah and it did not disappoint. The source of a good review is the food, but the source of a GREAT review is the service. Both of our servers were fantastic. Tim, who is the owner, was working in the house delivering food, wine, and JOYOUS vibes. I'm so excited that my partner found this place as early as she did because I predict this place is about to be the talk of the town!

Tim and Matt were awesome hosts - we got there right as they opened and they were ready to offer us top notch hospitality RIGHR away. These two are a hoot! If you haven't had a chance to check out Tim's books, please indulge while you're there. The wine list is perfect and the specials felt special - I was so happy they had a carbonara! My girl friend and I stayed about an hour, never felt rushed, and really enjoyed the comfortable dining area, with the entertainment provided by Tim and Matt. Thanks guys!

Pesto Shrimp

Delicious fresh light Italian fare, really cute location. Emphasis on fresh caught seafood and bright colors with well-balanced acids and cheeses. Service was attentive and friendly. They're a hot new restaurant perfect for couples with a great happy hour deal on wine. We had the Beet salad, carpaccio, and the Pesto Shrimp which was excellent.

Tiramisu

Great food, great wine, and great service!! We ordered the lasagna and spaghetti alla puttanesca which were both the pasta del giorno. I hope the lasagna becomes part of the normal menu because it was so delicious!! Other stars were the caponata, meat balls, and tiramisu! All great portion sizing for the price! We will definitely be going back! Recommend calling ahead to make a reservation unless you are ok with sitting at the bar.

Adorable atmosphere and excellent small plates which made it perfect for sharing

Adorable atmosphere, delicious small plates which made it perfect for sharing. Dont forget the dessert

Owner Tim, who is not only an excellent restauranteur he's a published author. Check out his book while you're there too!
Jackie C.

Excellent new neighborhood eatery with a great menu and friendly service. It was a treat to meet Tim, the owner, who took time to tell us his journey to make this such a special place. His wine selections paired with the food well, and this was a fun place. I highly recommend for Happy Hour, a lite bite, or a full meal.

How is parking nearby? We are headed that way on a Friday night soon and want to plan ahead. Thank you in advance!

Parking will be tough on 45th but if you go into the neighborhood north or south you should find pretty easy street parking!

Respite was first on my radar screen after stopping by a nearby cake business back in Sept 2024. But I have only recently stepped inside to do Too Good To Go late night pickups on 10/16/25 and 11/6/25. This is one of many newer businesses along the stretch of Stone Way N from Seattle's Wallingford to Fremont neighborhoods. This is a nice, intimate spot with welcoming staff. There are both table and counter seating on the main floor, additional seating on the upper floor. Pleasant, cozy ambiance with wall art, merch, and low light. Quite a large variety of wine bottles to imbibe onsite or peruse for purchase and takeout. Judging from my TGTG pickups, they have a great baked goods source/purveyor whether from onsite or obtained elsewhere. I've been able to enjoy quality baguettes, artisan loaves, sweet and savory baked goods. This is indicative that onsite menu items are high quality to accompany any apps/small plates/charcuterie plates and glasses of wine. I look forward to someday an actual onsite visit to experience this first hand.

This place was a delightful surprise! They have an amazing rotation of wines by the glass,…read moreoutstanding selection of apéritifs and digestifs, and although they have a small food menu, everything is delicious and unique in the right ways. I've sat at the bar and enjoyed a vibrant glass of sparkling wine with a zucchini mozzarella gallette, French onion gallette, or a warm baguette and country sourdough. I've enjoyed a chocolate cake with delicious chocolate ganache for dessert. Carrot cake and shortcake with fluffy whipped cream are lovely as well.. that's the good stuff. Plus, the staff are all incredibly nice. Definitely check this place out - it's a date night kind of vibe, so bring your significant other or go for a first date!!

Don't miss this utterly charming and unprentious wine tasting shop complete with blue checkered table cloths covering the outdoor tables. Their charcuterie (two cheeses and one meat) $19 is available alongside almonds $5 and candied pecans $5. We enhanced our board with a delicious can of lemon pepper smoked oysters by Ekone ("from tide to tin") $13. Highly recommend this he has Rustic Bakery flatbread. They have wine by the glass -- we tasted the Clos Du Mont-Olivet 2022 Lirac $15/glass as well as the Henrich Naked Orange (calcareous and natural biodynamic) $15/glass and the Champagne Jacquart "Mosaïque" Rosé $20/glass. We decided on a bottle of the Lirac and a glass of rosé champagne. They also carry local jcoco chocolates chips as well as tinned mackerel, tuna, codfish. The buyer is exceptionally talented. The curated collection of bottles could go up against the better bottle shops in Seattle -- but with a nonchalant aplomb rich with elegant ease shifting gears between bottles of internationally renowned Bollinger $68 and hyper local The Orcas Project 2024 Garnacha $37 or 2025 Nebbiolo $35 or 3 of 6 allocated Chartogne-Talley Saint Anne extra brut for $98. Favorite part? The staff's educational notes about the wines, how they were made, and tasting notes that holds the greatest value of all. So make some time to peruse and enjoy the learning before or while tasting. Exceptional value and deserving of best of neighbor recognition. Mariah serves as a welcoming hostess.

We initially thought it was a fine dining restaurant and were a little disappointed to see a limited menu. However, it's actually a fantastic spot for drinks and light bites.

We ordered the meat and cheese platter along with a couple of drinks, and everything was Grade A. I'm giving it an A+ though, because of Luke's outstanding service.

We were the only ones in there for a while and so had a chance to talk with Geoff, who made great recommendations for food and was very pleasant and friendly. Everything we tried was delicious. My friend initially ordered a drink that wasn't on happy hour as she had forgotten to ask about it, and at the end, Jeff had changed the price to a happy hour price since he didn't let her know about that in advance. Very class move and going the extra mile in a way that makes a huge difference and leaves along lasting impression on the customer! Happy hour food menu is small, but that seems to be for a reason, because what they do they do well!

Took almost an hour to get seated, but we were able to grab some drinks from the coffee shop on the first floor of the hotel, which was a nice option. Once we got upstairs it was gorgeous! Lots of great seating options both inside and out. The views of downtown Seattle and Bellevue were EPIC. The staff were very friendly as well! I have to say, for the price the food and drinks weren't at the level I expected. We ordered nachos, crab Rangoon dip, and pretzel bites. The nachos were probably our favorite, but they weren't anything special for $22. The Rangoon dip was mostly cream cheese and barely had any flavor. I think they were depending on the nori chips to bridge the gap, but those didn't taste the greatest. Finally the pretzel bites were okay, but nothing I couldn't get at another gastropub for a much lower price. The drinks were fine, but not that strong. I ordered the Glacier Peak which was beautiful and refreshing. We'll be back for the views and maybe a couple of cocktails, but I'd say if you're bar hopping, spend money on food somewhere else in the area.
