Fantastic food, great vibe, Sophia was the perfect blend of professional and engaging. We had some small plates, burgers and pastas and the portions were ample, the fresh pasta had a nice bite, and there was nothing pretentious about the ingredients. Unfortunately we're just passing through, but I wish I could eat here regularly! read more

Overall food quality doesn't match the price. Environment is not great either. But service was good.

913 is the best! Such a hidden gem in downtown Burien. You would think it was the same as 909 next door. But no, 913 Spirits sits 15 people inside the bar. The drinks are great and the special drinks are creative. The bartenders are great and friendly! read more

Had the burrata.....Outstanding!! A little sweet and a little hot. The bacon wrapped dates were very good as well. The bartender serving our table was fantastic. read more

Prepare to be surprised. Started the night with friends, 6 of us, enjoying perfect Martinis and delicious appetizers. Moved onto dinner, I had the short ribs. These weren't just short ribs with mashed potatoes, they were freaking unbelievable, super tender with a delicious sauce. My friend's dinners were also great (we all try each other's food). I have no Idea which deserts we ordered but WOW! What a special place, can't wait to go back. Why are you still reading? Go try this place. read more

Decided on this place for a long overdue date night. While the location is small, seating is cozy and lighting leads for an air of romance. Note this does not mean quiet. We opted for the bread and burrata cheese and then some bacon wrapped dates. The burrata was very flavorful, my husband just loves bread as a side note. The olive oil for the bread could have used some sort of flavor but was overall good. Mains were the porcini ravioli (I took my wife tax) and it was delicious. My main was the braised short ribs with a red wine reduction. This needed some salt but was delicious aside from that. I personally could have gone for more of the butternut squash purée. Over all, it was a lovely night out which me may have to do again at this venue read more

Terrible bar! "Maria"is the worse bartender ever. Not sure how she keeps her job.. Frank needs to quite hiring inexperienced kids as bartenders and hire some decent adults. After just two drinks Maria determined I was intoxicated---without any validation other than I appeared sleepy. I was forced to walk home over a mile---not by choice--but with another employee from 913 who Maria gave my car keys.. I did not stagger, loose my way, stumble, or fall the entire walk home. I have a disability, which I won't disclose here---all Maria needed to do was communicate her concern and I would have explained my condition. In addition, I have mobility issues which were exasperated taking this unexpected walk home. My back and knees will take days to recover. Unbelievable. I heard 913 had issues with customer service---but "wow" in my opinion "Maria" needs to go back to bartender school (if she even attended) and review the lessons on how to determine if someone is intoxicated. At the very least, the 913 needs to train employees on diversity and inclusion of customers with a wide range of disabilities. Not make assumptions read more

I hate writing this review, because we love 909/913, but last night was extremely disappointing. Our waiter was terrible. We went to celebrate a substantial raise; however, no one greeted us when we arrived, and we waited 10 minutes, before finally seating ourselves at an empty table on the patio. It was another 20 minutes before our waiter (Tyler J) showed himself. He took our drink orders, then disappeared for another half an hour. (FYI, he did not introduce himself, at any time. We got his name off the receipt.) When he returned, with our drinks, he asked if we were ready to order. I said "I have a question." Tyler responded, "I don't have time for questions," and walked away. WTF? No appetizers, I guess. We normally get two--the olives and nuts, and the burrata, and they had a special burrata with truffle oil, which looked quite nice--but Tyler left. He didn't have time... The weird thing was, he wasn't snippy about it. Tyler was *super cheerful* about blowing us off. Surreal. Another half hour passed. Tyler finally came around again. We ordered another beverage each, and I asked my question, about the market fish preparation. Tyler told me it was "wild caught salmon in a fennel vinaigrette, with some other stuff." Literally. Those were his words: "some other stuff." Good thing I wasn't wedded to the fennel vinaigrette, though, because that wasn't the preparation. The salmon came with a seasonal berry compote--blackberries and blueberries, very tasty--and the "other stuff" was roasted corn and wilted spinach. If there was a sliver of fennel, I couldn't tell. We didn't order wine with dinner, because we figured it would be another hour before it arrived, and by then we would be done with our mains. Last but not least, Tyler apparently failed to write down that we wanted a cheese plate, as well as the fruit crisp (which was delicious, by the way), to finish, so it didn't come. When I asked about it, he stared at his pad, and told me he didn't write that down, how did that happen, very curious, what a mystery! And did I still want the cheese plate, it would only take two minutes to put together? No, I did not still want the cheese plate. It might have only taken two minutes to fix, but it would take 30 minutes to get to our table, and by then we had been there for 2 hours, and were completely over it. I drank my port, without tasty cheese; we tipped minimally; and went home. The terrible service soured what should have been a celebration. This is where we come to celebrate everything; we even had our wedding dinner at 909, last November! This is where we bring friends, family, and out of town guests. We come to 909/913 when one of us has had a bad day, and want some pampering. We've spent, literally, thousands of dollars here. We normally tip generously, because we've both worked in the food & hospitality industry, so only tipping 10% last night made my heart hurt. I feel terrible, but I can't reward service so poor that it ruins good food, mars two years of happy memories, and turns a happy celebration into a disappointing trial. (I will add that I snooped a bit, before and after our mains. Both times, Tyler J was standing next to another staff person, hands in pockets, chatting and laughing. I'm glad he likes his coworkers and enjoys his work place.) I hope this is a one-off, and not a sign that something is wrong at 909/913. I don't want to have to find a new, favorite restaurant. read more

Everything about our experience here was perfect. The food. The service. The ambiance (we sat under a cover outside). read more

I walk by here all the time as normally go hang out a few doors down the street. But, I've been meaning to try this place so we came in for dinner. We sat in the outdoor garden area and it was just about perfect, comfortable, not packed together and very relaxing. Just about anything you eat or drink is going to be good when you're in this atmosphere. We started some red wine and a garden fresh salad came from the farmers market. There was so many ingredients it's hard to describe, but very organic, tasty and they can execute a great salad, very artistic too. They serve some complementary bread with oil and balsamic vinegar that was really good; we had seconds. I had the 909 flat iron steak medium rare that came on a bed of potatoes, red peppers and spinach; it was really good. Also, got to taste the linguine with shrimp & bacon. Its flavor was fantastic and it seemed to have some Chinese 5 spice; I may be wrong, but I love the spices in this dish. Overall, this is a great dining experience and we'll be coming back. The ambiance is top notch and seemed like I was in San Francisco and not Burien. The food quality was over the top and it was fresh and seemed to be very organic and healthy. This place can turn you into a vegetarian. Note, the items individually on the menu seems to be reasonably priced, but it adds up fast here and you can easily go over the $100 range for a couple pretty fast. read more

My bestie had her daughter's graduation reception there about 2 weekends ago and what an amazing first-time experience! From the kind gentleman who oversaw everything from the bar to the food for this reception, to the whole ambiance and how this gentleman made sure our drinks were full and our empty plates were taken away. I only wish I got his name! I should have taken pics to share but trust me, this is definitely a place that I would recommend to anyone to go to for a meal, drinks or to host a special life event! And you definitely have to try their bacon wrapped dated, especially if you like mixing sweet with salty, nom nom nom! read more

The food and drinks were very tasty! Portion size was very generous. They seemed a bit short staffed (where isn't though), but they were still attentive and made sure we knew we could ask any staff for assistance. It was very cozy and I would love to go back to check out the coffee shop! read more

I don't try enough of the restaurant in the Burien area though I lived here for years now, and with how great this one was, it makes me want to explore more. I was looking at its sister restaurant 909 wine and coffee, but saw this one with the same menu but felt a little bit more causal so when with this one. Its a super tiny bar, though in the summer time, there is out door seating. The bar probably only fits 15 people max. It was pretty comfortable though, and the bartenders were fun to talk to. I made a fairly sarcastic comment/burn to the bartender, but we both got a good laugh out of it so it makes for a great dining experience if you are along and sit at the bar. The menu is pretty varied with a reasonable amount of options, and there were quite a few specials the day I went. I went with the shrimp sambuca and the bread course so I can mop up the sauce. Also got a special cocktail called the cure, which is similar to a penicillin cocktail. The shrimp sambuca was great, came with alot of pancetta and the sauce has alot of flavor. The bread was okay and did have to pay for it at. The drink was really good. Will definitely be back to try some of the other options. read more

Not in the mood for a loud, crowded NYE celebration, the SO and I decided we'd simply have a nice dinner out. Because I couldn't get anyone on the phone at another place, I called The Place Next Door to see if there were openings left only 3 hours ahead. So glad there were as this was the perfect place for us. Low key atmosphere, attentive staff and excellent food. Started with the bacon-wrapped dates which was superb. The SO had the roasted squash with Italian sausage while I went with King Salmon, both of which were delicious. As with most places like this, the only drawback is that the portions aren't that large. With wine, you will easily drop $100 as a couple and that was without dessert. read more

We went to 913 on a whim and it was so, so good. Love a place that has nice glasses of wine without spending a fortune is awesome. Service so on point! We started with the Charcuterie and it was divine. The fig jam with brie - perfection! My husband had the seafood stew and the broth was so good - we both kept using the bread to soak it up. I had the warm vegetable salad with chicken. It too, was so good. The portions were a nice size. Next time we are going to sit out on the patio which has heaters and blankets. Just loved this place! read more

Been there a few times, mainly for special family related occasions. Good. Atmosphere & vibe good! Food is solid. Price a bit high, but not way too high. Wait staff always nice. read more

You know that feeling that you get when you come across a business, restaurant, lounge or whatever and you think to yourself that you've discovered a hidden gem? That's what happens when you visit 913 "the Place Next Door". With a name like that you can't not at least check it out. Their menu is fresh, seasonal, light but worth it. You won't need a to-go box and you will crave whatever you tired as soon as you leave. Their bartenders are not only outgoing but the know their stuff. Give them any new fancy smancy flavored liquor and they will know how to make it taste right in a drink. Don't forget they are old pros at the classics so skip the wells and let them craft a beverage and you won't regret it. I suggest the sweet tea off the specialty menu, but beware that sugary sweet flavor will knock you out if you aren't looking. read more

I've been to the 913 once (for food) and I got the American Kobe Beef Burger. The burger was super thick and it was cooked to a perfect medium rare. It's a little expensive for a burger - $16 - but it's very good quality and extremely filling too. You're not likely going to be hungry after ordering this. Aside from the food, the 913 is a really good place to go late at night, in Burien, to get a nice glass of wine and enjoy a nice conversation with someone. It's intimate, quiet and it's just a really relaxing place. read more

I drove straight here from the airport. Excellent ambience sitting outside on a warm summer night. Decided on the roasted chicken over the ribeye by Chris' recommendation. The chicken was succulent and perfectly cooked. The sauce complemented well on flavor and texture. Perfectly portioned but my appetite demanded more. Ordered the roasted vegetable salad. Five star meal. read more

This is the place next door to 909 wine bar. They have a great menu and fun little bar. It's a cute, intimate space, and no kids allowed. The food here is delicious and the service is excellent. It's an old Burien hot spot, and a place I highly recommend. I recommend ordering whatever is seasonal at the time, they do a great job adapting the menu at this local treasure! read more

My friend and I decided Burien was the best centerpoint for us to meet for dinner, and I found this place on Yelp based on the reviews. Yet again, Yelp does not disappoint! We both loved the ambience (they have an outdoor covered area with lovely string lights) and the service was attentive and friendly, but not overbearing. The food was fantastic. We had the burrata, which was extremely fresh and creamy. So delightful. We also had a side salad and the crab crepes. The crab crepes were quite amazing, and I've never had anything like it before. This place is a winner. What a gem for the Burien area. I'd definitely come back again. read more

Still incredible. Food was great, service even better. Just wish we could dine there more often!

The little brother to the 909, same great menu. Covered outdoor, heated patio area. You can't go wrong. If the 909 is full...slip into The Place Next Door. Good Food: Good Drinks: Great Wine List Great Service. read more

Loved this place. Tried it for the first time last night. My husband had the Kobe burger and loved it and I had the ahi crepes and they were very good. We will return for sure l. read more

Followed the excellent reviews and was not disappointed! Our server, Ambrose was absolutely amazing! It was a slow night and he was pretty much the only one there taking care of everything. He did an amazing job and answered all of our questions. All of our meals were great. Steak was cooked perfectly. Prawns had a unique (in a good way!) taste. Definitely a spot we will return to again and again. Thank you for making our birthday celebration an extra special occasion :) read more

Chris is a good mixologist and waiter. We got the bacon wrapped dates and roasted seafood stew... both delicious! Can't go wrong with this cute little ma and pa shop. It's winter and we're eating outside on the patio, what a great ambiance to experience with string lighting and heaters! read more

This was one of the best dining experiences I've had! The staff was AWESOME! The space is really nice and very calm. The lights in the patio are very charming and there's a little decorative waterfall for ambiance. The food was REALLY good! We ordered the bacon wrapped dates and they were just AWESOME! (They even gave us a second order free because the first one accidentally only came with two instead of three). The food was really, really good and the service was REALLY, REALLY great! Definitely a must try if you're nearby! read more

We had our wedding reception in the courtyard here and it was absolutely lovely. The food and wine were perfect for our intimate gathering. Brandy patiently helped us with event details and worked with us on a couple food substitutions for our vegetarian guests. Chef Taylor made a delicious and beautiful meal. The linguine was amazing as was everything else! Servers Armella and Carla made everyone feel at home and pampered. We'll definitely have another gathering here. read more

It definitely is as good as people say it is. Keep up the amazing food and drinks and never compromise your current quality! I cannot wait to come back next time I am near the airport. read more

They really put a lot of effort and style in to their food and drinks. We stopped in to kill some time before heading to the airport and left feeling great. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Food was interesting and very flavourful. Drinks were spot on for three of the four. One was a little strong but not a show stopper. Roasted garlic with goat cheese and the bacon wrapped dates were the snack du jour. We just went with the smaller snack type stuff but can't wait to get back for the entrees! read more

When we walked in, the outdoor seating area was almost empty. We picked a table, and when the waitress came over, we told her we needed a few more minutes to make out drink selections. Then, over the next ten minutes, the outdoor seating area filled up (four more tables filled), and our waitress visited two other tables (who had arrived after us) before returning to our table to take our drink order. We placed our food order at the same time to avoid another ten minute or longer wait for service. That was the worst part of the evening, however. The food was very good. The burrata comes with fresh mozzarella, which spreads easily on the crostini. The Kobe burger is cooked to order and extremely tasty. The Mac and cheese is outstanding. My only complaint here is that everything needed more salt, and there was none on the table - the waitress asked if we needed anything, but that was before we could taste anything. This is the second time we've been here, and when we return again (we will come again), we'll bring another couple so it's less about eating and more about socializing - that's the type of place this is. read more

Clearly a place that locals and good friends hang out. Everyone seems to know each other here and they have great food and drinks. Pink vespa is tasty! Gelato and ice cream is great too. Pumpkin tiramisu doesn't taste like tiramisu at all but is still delicious. Very cute little place with limited seating. read more

This place isn't just "good for Burien," it's just plain good. I have enjoyed a couple dinners with girlfriends here and the food has been excellent, the beverages generously poured and delicious, and the service excellent. I feel really lucky to have this place so close to home. Until they take the sambuca prawns off the menu at which time there will be hell to pay. They have an off-menu paleo burger plate that is awesome ... a bed of delicious roasted vegetables with a burger patty, topped with bacon and avocado. It's big enough to share, and a great nourishing option for folks with dietary special needs. Very accommodating of gluten-free needs as well. read more

First time here last night. Sat on the patio--loved it. Sweet atmosphere, good service and good food. There were four of us and they took A reservation, which was so helpful for us. We started with the cheese, nut and fruit board and it was yummy. The wine special red was excellent! Two folks in our party had the filet and were VERY happy. Another friend had the Ahi Tuna and there wasn't a bit left. I enjoyed the crab crepes, which had a red bell pepper sauce. The wait staff was attentive -- couldn't ask for much more -- didn't rush us either. Will definitely be back. read more

I love this place. The bartender, Chris, is top notch....a true mixologist. He'll make a great drink with fresh ingredients or chat you up about scotch/whiskey. A true neighborhood bar. Also, the food is high end at a great price. Try the meat loaf and bacon wrapped figs w/goat cheese and balsamic reduction. read more

This is definitely one of our favorite spots to go for dinner! The staff is friendly and we have been impressed with all the dishes! Nothing disappoints! The ribeye steak, all pastas, burrata, and bacon wrapped dates are always a MUST!Plus, the wine list is good too. read more

I started frequenting 913 more often during the winter of 2013 as a friend of mine suggested we go there one evening. I've grown to love this quaint hangout and it's staff. Their happy hour is a great deal. I'd try a couple order of the bacon wrapped dates. I've also enjoyed their Kobe sliders although next time I will order them medium rare. The lighting is lovely. The music is well chosen by Ray, the friendly and cool bartender. He really knows his wines which is a big plus. Has become a regular fun hangout for me. read more

If you do nothing else in Burien, you have got to come here. Sandwiched between two restaurants, the 913 and the 909, is a lovely Courtyard as well. Simply put, this is some of the best food I've had in Burien and all of Seattle. I have been there multiple times, and I'm finally getting around to doing a rave review because I wanted to make sure it was indeed as amazing as I think it is. You have got to go for their roasted veggies. Their craft cocktails are to die for. I absolutely love the Misto platter as an appetizer. Their ribeye is so flavorful with a wonderful rub and perfectly cooked. It was accompanied with fingerling potatoes and green beans that could not have been prepared better. The service staff is so on point. I don't have a single complaint, criticism, or suggestion for improvement. This is simply a nearly perfect spot to go to for a date, a girls night out, a couple of drinks, whatever you want to do. It is awesome. read more
