I am in town with my friend that's from Ballard! She told me Stoneburner is a must try. WOW we were so blown away by the food, drinks and service!! 10/10. Out of the park. Ryan made us the best charcuterie board.. soooo good freshly cut meats, cheese and bread. the manager was so attentive and checked in on us. Ambience is so romantic and nicely lit. Just the best experience!! It is attached to the Ballard hotel which is also so cute. Can't wait to come back!! read more

Let me start off with a note that you probably shouldn't consider dining here unless you are ready to spend a lot on a meal. That said, I want to give a shout out to our server, Kate, who gave me and my boyfriend probably the best service we've had over many years of dating. She was attentive and wanted to make sure we were getting the cocktails suited to our tastes and had great humor. I would definitely come back if she could be our server again. We came here for early dinner and started off with the Confit Garlic Ciabatta Bread to enjoy with our drinks. The cocktails were excellent in my opinion and were mixed well so that I didn't taste the alcohol, but surely felt it (Mezcal can do that). We ordered two pasta dishes, the Saffron Mafalde and Tajarin. Both were delicious, although the poached egg on the Saffron Mafalde was slightly overcooked and wasn't as runny as I'd like to mix with the pasta. The Tajarin was delicate and buttery. They weren't enough to offset the alcohol, so we ordered the Dutch Fries. We aren't fans of wedge fries, but these were fried to a crunchy crisp. I would definitely order them again, but for the fries and not necessarily the aioli. Overall, the drinks were excellent and reasonably priced for what I've had in Seattle. The food was great, but pricey so I'm giving it a solid 4 stars. I'd give our server an 11/10 though! read more

Do you know how a pork chop tastes like if you sprinkled with a whole tub of salt on top of it? I do! My boyfriend ordered the grilled pork chop = $31 The pork chop was salty as heck. It was as if it was licking a salt lick. I thought he was exaggerating but when I tried it - OH MY did someone drop a tub of salt on this thing. Oh by the way we waited 40 minutes for the chop. To get it redone was out of the question. He ordered something that we knew was going to be quick. Basically a pasta with red sauce- and we didn't want to complain any more but the pasta was still crunchy on some parts... at that point the date night was ruined. We should have stuck with with good 'ol pizza. But oh well...lessons learned. We don't have date nights that often but this was marked by lackluster food at Stoneburners. read more

What a great meal!!! The salmon was stupid good. Our server Rachel was brilliant.. The whole meal and experience was fantastic.... Thank you stoneburner !!! read more

Stoneburner - Niiiiice!! - Pizza Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We thought we would try it out so we did but $79 later I wish we hasn't. The food is ok. The hanger steak was tough and the cauliflower ravioli is like baby food. The salad is probably the best thing there. read more

Breakfast was delicious, spicy Bloody Mary had the heat that hits you in the back of the throat spice which is my favorite. Two eggs breakfast was as imagined but the potatoes had rosemary on them, I hate rosemary and it didn't say it was there in the description. Pizza was ok, tomato sauce was sweet, also not a fan. Huckleberry ricotta cake was delicious too. read more

everything was really really good (I loved the stuffed olives!), the only thing that I would rate this 4 stars and not 5 stars is that the drinks had barely any alcohol in them. My friend and I both "sobered" up during dinnner even though we were drinking a cocktail! The cocktails across the street at percys, where we had gone before, are WAY stronger and better IMO. read more

Stone burner is top notch! The margarita pizza is melt in your mouth delicious! Also have had the octopus which is a fantastic dish. Great restaurant for dinner parties. read more

Great food, delicious cocktails and one of best waitresses ever! Kate was super helpful in helping us decide what to eat, super attentive and gracious. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for good food or drinks in a warm wonderful environment. I love the ambiance of this place wine bottles on ceiling and walls in one corner, open booths in another and small tables in yet another. It is a good place to go for a romantic date,eating out with friends or hanging out with family. Recommended! read more

One of my new favorite restaurants in Ballard. We'd stopped by for drinks before, but never for dinner... and now I regret not having come in earlier! The service was stellar. All of our waiter's suggestions were spot-on, and you could tell he really knew the menu and was enthusiastic about the restaurant. And the food was amazing. The drinks, the grilled ciabatta with ricotta, the charred broccoli, the seafood stew, the chocolate budino... everything was simple but perfectly executed. And of course, the restaurant itself is gorgeous. Can't wait to come back and try everything else on the menu! read more

Love this place. Great vegetarian options, excellent service. They take social distancing seriously.

Stoneburner deserves a 6 star rating... The 6th star going to Tyler! Washington cheese plate, grilled octopus, grilled brussels sprouts, Chatarele pizza and don't forget the Tiny Doughnuts! Perfection in every bite! Tyler is hands down the most down to earth, gracious, funny & generous host in the greater Seattle area. Ok probably the best in the North West.... Ok actually the West Coast. Stoneburner was the perfect place for us to celebrate a new job and old friends. We felt like we were home. read more

Stoneburner - Grilled octopus with potatoes accompanied by a fine little Barbera. - Pizza Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We've been big fans of stoneburner since it opened. The menu works for date nights, friends that are vegetarians, our kids and pretty much every type of diner without lacking sophistication or taste. It's bold, innovative, and expertly executed with wonderful and warm service. (Extra points to our server tonight, a 50+ man, who only works a few nights a week because the company is so great to work for.) We loved everything about our experience tonight and can't wait to come back for more of the salads and charred broccoli. And pizza. And salmon. And DESSERT! read more

Wandered past Stoneburner this week while out walking through Ballard. Made a reservation for the next evening and the result was fantastic! Ended up staying seated at the bar to watch all the action, but mainly because Nathan was a spectacular bartender/server/host. Clearly an industry professional that was attentive, knowledgeable and helped us have a great evening. Pepperoni pizza was delicious: flavorful, a bit unusual and I'd have it again. Be sure to add the chili peppers for some extra heat. My gorgeous date had the wild line caught salmon which I am told was excellent! Good food, great wine/drinks and polished service. Sit at the bar and ask for Nathan to make you something special. read more

Great service and excellent food. This place was packed but we managed to find a couple of seats at the bar. The snow pea salad was a great size for sharing, unique and delicious. Pizza is not normally something I would order but their sausage pizza was fantastic. Thin crust and not too heavy. As some famous guy once said I'll be back!! read more

We got food to go and everything was so good! We got grilled wild salmon, brick pressed chicken and a Caesar salad. Delicious!

This review is for the restaurant week menu. Shaved Asparagus Salad Meatballs Cheesecake In addition, got the fennel sausage pizza A glass of red wine and vodka soda Bill total was: $83.00 Tip Added Total: $101.00 Okay, so you want to drop $100 on pizza then go here. Hands down, the fennel pizza was the BEST pizza I have had in a long long time. Although its $20 for it, I think it was worth it. It was also a nice size to be able to split with one other person, if you get an appetizer. Pizza isn't meant to be fancy, the dough is the driver to a good foundation and when you start packing on toppings, you are not only hiding the true flavors, but you aren't confident in your dough as well. This was not an issue here. The crust was perfectly crispy, the sauce was amazing (they use a hint of honey in it) and the house made fennel sausage was just amazing. The service was nice, the decor has a nice upscale feel to it. A good date night spot for but definitely pricey for a pizza place. Service was 10/10 as well read more

Lots of things are really nice about this place. My son's pasta was great. I've had better pizza many other places, though. Our server was very friendly but neglected us and brought our appetizers after our entrees. We waited forever for the check. I'll give them some grace, because maybe they were understaffed. Everyone is right now. I would come back. read more

Outstanding meal and service from start to finish. We shared the smoked tuna spread, which was perfect with thin house made chips. Then we had the delightful and surprising lamb belly bacon and poached egg on top of perfectly cooked gnocchi. My friend hat the chicken. I had the halibut. Outstanding! read more

Great choice for brunch! We had the shaved brussel sprouts salad and yukon potatoes pizza. Both tasted amazing! read more

Stoneburner - Pizza Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Overview: Randomly decided to pop in and try Stoneburner one night - was very impressed! We came for dinner on a weekend so Ballard was busy and the restaurant was dimly lit. The interior is very nice and the ceiling makes it feel slightly like a being is a wooden ship. The waitress was very kind but it did take about 15 minutes before anyone came by to greet us or take our order after being seated. Food: We had the pepperoni pizza and the mozzarella pizza - both were delicious! In the end, I recommend trying this place if you're in the mood for some Italian cuisine. read more

Our meals were tasty but VERY small for the price. Service and atmosphere were good. Overall we left dissatisfied by what we got for what we paid. read more

Had brunch here two weeks ago for the first time. Three words for you: spicy Bloody Mary. Delicious. Followed by the breakfast pizza which is amazing for sharing. Make sure to try the berry pound cake. Made daily fresh in house which is amazing. I've heard dinner is great here too so looking Forward to try it too. The place is right in the middle of Ballard. A few of our friends tried things like the burger and the red sauce skillet and all got great reviews. The staff was very courteous and accommodating with a few dietary restrictions. read more

To be honest, I wasn't super impressed. The food menu felt pretty limited and the pizza that caught my attention wasn't even a mainstay on the menu. Taste-wise, it was good, but not amazing. And despite what our waitress told us, the pasta is not big enough for sharing. Service was no-nonsense, no-smiles service. So in a nutshell, I'm not in any hurry to come back. read more

Stoneburner catered our July 1 wedding at the Olympic Rooftop Pavilion on top of the Hotel Ballard. Our guests can't stop talking about how this was the best wedding food they've ever had. And that's because it was not "wedding" food, but insanely scrumptious, super fresh, local and in season Italian/Mediterranean. WOW! We were so lucky to work with Elisabeth Spring and team to craft a perfect menu. We had heirloom tomato salad, pork ragu, charred broccoli w/ tahini, roasted cauliflower, aromatic chicken and salmon. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. All of our guests were stuffed and happy! The flavors and presentation were gorgeous, the staff was super laid back and friendly and the layout was beautiful. They easily accommodated friends with food allergies. Also, our wedding cake, which we did not taste or see a sample of in advance, was PERFECT - exactly as I hoped it would be. There was barely any left. My main goal for my wedding was to host an intimate dinner party where friends and family could commune over expertly crafted food -- and this beat all of my expectations. Thank you team Stoneburner! read more

Nice spot on Ballard ave with good food and a great wine selection. Slightly on the dressy more expensive side but with it for a formal dinner or date night. Their pizzas and fresh baked bread were really good. Try making a reservation beforehand but walking in is also possible though with some wait. read more

Since moving to Seattle this is the first place I ever ate. It is attached to the really nice Ballard hotel. We have been going to this place ever since. We don't make a res we just pull up a seat at the "Cheer's" style bar. They will service the full menu at the bar. The bartenders are very friendly and love to chat with you when they have a minute to breath. Never mind the great drinks they make!! We always start with the cold cuts & cheese plate which is not service on a plate but a wooden board. You can pick the cold cuts and the cheese you prefer in the same way as you do for sushi. All the meat and cheese is locally made and some I believe they make. It is paired with a relish, grilled crusty bread, and mustard. Lately, that is all I have and maybe a salad. My husband really enjoys their pizzas. Cooked in a real brick pizza oven. And if you like thin crust that is how they make all the pizzas. For a nice easy night and great tasting food you wouldn't go wrong here. And sit at the bar it is fun. read more

Loved the atmosphere, food and service. We tried the grilled Octopus which was perfect blend of grilled charred and a hint of fav beans. The black chitarra pasta with Hama Hama clams was outstanding. Loved the Asian flavor and roasted tomatoes. Our server Sebastian was delightful and very knowledgeable! read more

The food is delicious but the portion sizes are so small for the price!! The menu is also kind of limited for my taste.

Had dinner at Stoneburner last night--another great dinner. Seriously, one of my favorite restaurants. We ordered a variety of dishes, but the Pork Chop (a serious chop size) was absolutely delicious. The rub was made with warming spices, perfectly seasoned, and perfectly cooked. Cipollini onions stewed in wine finishes each bite with the perfect sweetness. We shared it with three of people for our main meat entree. I would go back for it again. In addition to the chop, we also had a roman style pasta--simple and perfectly cooked again, the fried olives (because you have to), the MOST delicious bitter green salad with manchego dressing (!). Great service, delicious gin cocktails, and right in the heart of Ballard. Be sure to make reservations on the weekends! read more

The service is top notch and remarkably so, My 1st drink that resembled a Manhattan I sent back but they courteously and instantly offered me another drink which I thought was fabulous thumbs up on that! I thought the garlic bread and she is would be good but I had to wrestle with the cross so much I took away the fun but it smell great. This Caesar salad was alright the dressing was wonderful. Even at a place like this I'm still tortured by how much white of the romaine they serve you but it's a personal preference.. So far the bartenders have the chefs beat and that's a little bit of a shame because I'm hungry and there seems to be a bit of a wait I mean I realize that it's 635 primetime but well I'm here waiting. And sure enough just when I think that I'm having to wait they serve it and to overuse a good word...fabulous ...really well done tastefully put together well balanced etc etc but just downright really good would recommend it will come back and they rotate the menu every 6 weeks. I'm looking forward to it read more

Delicious salmon, cooked perfectly and my husbands burger was the juicest medium rare. Will return very soon!

Quite possibly the best pork chop and scallops I've ever had. Wow!!!!! Unreal food!!!!!

Dammit! I keep telling myself I'm going too easy on places in Seattle but the truth of the matter is, places that are outstanding keep popping up. And Stoneburner is yet another major contendor for a lot of places in Seattle. Best date spot, best dinner, best new restaurant, best, best, BEST. Last weekend I happened upon Stoneburner while attending Ballard's Seafood Fest. The big open windows, packed house and gorgeous decor initially got me through the door. Then when I spotted the farm-focused, local menu, it really caught my eye. They have incredibly tasty housemade pasta and a great big stone oven in the center of the open kitchen for everyone to see. Lots of tasty pizzas were being made too! It's such a stunning restaurant. I especially loved the "super good" grilled octopus and the crispy olives as a snack. Can't wait to come back for a big giant meal and some mezcal cocktails! read more

I was really looking forward to my first time at Stoneburner, I had heard such great things. My girlfriends treated me to a birthday dinner at Stoneburner. When we got the bill, my sister noticed she was charged more than expected on the cold cuts and cheese plate. Turns out it was a misunderstanding; the wording on the menu was ambiguous. Stoneburner was not going to make an adjustment to the bill. I get that. If it were just my husband and I, we would've been annoyed but would've paid the bill anyway. However, my sister and girlfriends were paying on my behalf and I felt like I needed to at least try to talk to the manager. So I called the manager. I met Dawn, the dining room manager, and respectfully gave her an explanation of the honest mistake my sister made. I asked her if there was any way an adjustment could be made on the bill. A simple request blew up to Dawn being rude and condescending: rolling her eyes when I explained our situation; raising her voice at me and not even trying to at least pretend to be understanding or patient. Turns out, after she took the receipt and stormed away, she slipped the amended receipt (she ended up reducing the charged amount of the cold cuts plate) to our waiter and literally left me waiting at the host stand. I was left not knowing what was going on. Dawn even passed by me once or twice and said NOTHING. I ended up returning to my table after a few minutes to let them know that I was still waiting to hear from Dawn, and my party told me that the waiter had already come by with the updated receipt. I couldn't believe it! I was so mad at this point that I asked our waiter for Dawn's supervisor's name, an email address at least so I could let somebody know how unprofessional her behavior was. The waiter, feeling really bad, told me to wait and she went to the back. A few minutes later, the waiter came out with Dawn, and Chef Jason Stoneburner. At this point, I was impressed that Mr. Stoneburner himself came out. But it was all Dawn, orchestrating the public "apology," touting her reputation for customer service and the fact that she is considered to be one of the most thoughtful people in this industry (to which, Chef Stoneburner peeped, "Yes, she is." That was ALL he said to us). There was also a lot of projection of blame going on: "I'm sorry that YOU took it that way." "I'm sorry YOU were embarrassed." "We want you to come back to Stoneburner but I understand if YOU don't want to." Dawn said she was really busy catering a 100-person event that evening. So that was her justification for the disrespect. After Dawn was finished, Chef Stoneburner followed her to the back. He didn't say anything beyond the "Yes, she is" response. I was at a loss for words. Dawn was orchestrating the entire thing and Chef Stoneburner really didn't care. Dawn is probably on her A-game most of the time; I mean, she's gotten to where she is because she's smart and knows how to serve her customers. She knows when it's important to be impeccable and when to let customers leave unattended and angry. She had 100 guests that evening to please because their money matters. I get that. But she has to understand that even the smaller parties need equal respect and consideration. read more

"Off the list" was my wife's assessment. Hard to believe the rave reviews. The poor service afforded us the option of tasting three of the salads, as one was delivered by mistake. None of the three were good - bland, non-descript might be a better term. I don't like restaurants that cheap out and charge for bread. The "small plate" garlic bread with Ricotta was two slices of dry French bread - for only $5. I had the gemelli with ragu. Horrible. The ragu tasted like hamburger enhanced with "hamburger helper." Definitely did not resemble an Italian dish. My wife's pizza was watery and undercooked. Would never return for the food which, besides being awful, is incredibly overpriced - Denny's quality for fine food prices. I never mind premium prices for exceptional food, but this is not the place to experience fine dining. Also, I have to comment on the restaurant design. Apparently someone who never eats at restaurants did the design. Their entry area has no place to stand while waiting to be seated. There were two groups ahead of us, and we were moving out of the way of wait staff constantly. We ate in the bar, where tables are made to fit in ¾ the space they need - with some weird upper level bar "to set the pizza on"?? It was in the way, blocked access to anything on the table - what a joke. I'm amazed by the rave reviews and can only guess the staff is given a bonus for the number of rave reviews they write. read more

Came in around 6:30, it was very busy with some tables reserved, but we got a seat all the same. Comfortable interior, nice lighting. Raised serving platform built onto he booth so we had to sit side by side. No matter. Every dish was good or great, although the Caesar salad and the green salad were both to acidic and too salty. Amazing mussels with delicious sauce you just want to eat with a spoon. Tortellini so smooth and creamy you want to eat it for dessert. Friendly and knowledgeable service. read more

Bottom line: Mediocre and overrated. No reason to go back again. I will certainly tell my friends to not bother. I went for Sunday brunch a few months ago when Stoneburner first opened, but found it lacking in almost every way. Knowing that new places often suffer from jitters and nerves, I decided to wait a while and give it another chance. I went for dinner last night and realized, nope, I had it right the first time. Sure, the decor is nice, but what a shame about the food. Everything we ordered at brunch and at dinner was sloppy and over-salted. There was no balance to the flavors, nothing that made me want to take another bite. Even my simple lettuce salad was nearly unpalatable. Where was the subtlety to the dishes, where was the nuance? Hell, where was the yummy? I can name half a dozen places on the same street that have what Stoneburner lacks: food I want to eat. I'm willing to lay down good money that the cooks smoke. They can't taste their own food. And what's with all the 5-star reviews on yelp?? My guess is that the reviewers who like this place are either smokers or big drinkers or both, and that they were already toasted by the time their food was served. Deadened taste-buds prefer the over-seasoned fare. My advice to people who are still friends with their taste-buds: take a pass on Stoneburner. read more

I really like this place a lot. The decor is lovely and very quaint. The bar also looks amazing and I can't wait to come back for happy hour. I had the roasted beet and shaved brussels sprouts salad and it was really good. Like I would eat it every day if I could. I also tried the charred cauliflower and it was also excellent. The dutch fries were also excllent. They are like super thick steak fries and even though $7 for fries sounds like a lot, they were totally worth it. The one thing I wouldn't get again is the pizza. The crust was too crispy and thin for my liking. I really prefer my pizza to be like what I had in Naples with a crust that is both chewy and crispy. I haven't found anything like it in the States yet. Also, IDK if it typical or just my fresh mozzarella pizza but I found it to be way too salty. I think the toppings they provide in a small bowl are super cute. Some dried herbs, cheese, and a whole dried chili that you crush yourself and sprinkle on your pizza. I also tried a phosphate and I really liked it. It is a soda but much less sweet that a typical soda and it had plenty of fizz. Highly recommend it! read more
