Feels like home the minute you walk in the door. The ambiance, decor and warm greeting made us feel like we were at family gathering. The Sweet Potato Hoe Cakes should come with a warning. Warm, crispy, pillowy soft, sweet but not overpowering- I woke up the next day still thinking about them. 20/10. Order 2 of them, you will thank yourself later. The Pork Chop was huge and juicy. Pear chutney on top was a winner. The owner was a cool cat who circulated the room and engaged guests the waitresses were knowledgeable and attentive. Playlist: vibes. Unapologetically Black space. Love, love, love it. This is a can't miss stop next time ur in Seattle. read more

Had an awesome dinner at Communion last Sunday. Parking was challenging to say the least. There was an underground parking lot across the street but it belongs to the apartment building apparently so we had to find parking several streets away. Started the meal with Sweet Potato Hoe Cake. This had cornbread like texture but felt softer, smoother, quite moist with a sweet honey butter syrup base. BBQ Shrimp tasted out of this world delicious: very fresh head/tail on shrimp cooking in garlic butter, Metier coconut porter. The good to the last drop sauce had bold flavors although quite salty, just perfect for dipping the focaccia in. Unc's Wing was equally endearing: rubbed in a 13-spice blend, with perfect crispness and plump, juicy flesh beneath the coating. Butter-basted cabbage was a rare treat: basted with butter that accentuates the sweetness of caramelized cabbage. Miso butter sauce a great match. The drink I ordered was less intriguing: Kinfolk (bourbon, Jamaican, rum, Cynar, and pecan liqueur) was bourbon heavy, very balanced nonetheless just not memorable. The chocolate truffle was the only item we did not enjoy: it had hard shell and very dense filling. read more

This was highly recommended by AI as a must place to eat for my visit to Seattle. We all thought the food was ok. It was different the best item was the fried okra. We probably could have gotten another serving. We had to send our chicken wings back because it has blood look on the bone. The server stated it is cooked to temperature. I like my chicken done with no blood. I did like the small intimate setting. It would be nice for a date. read more

My family came to Washington over the past weekend and suggested we do a brunch. We were told this place was very popular for Sunday brunches. We made reservations but ended up showing up close to their transition to dinner. Due to the lateness, it became more of an intimate setting for us. Also because of the lateness, many of the high-demand brunch options were either sold out or very limited upon arrival, particularly the Catfish & Grits and Grilled Pork Chop. I did not have the pleasure of trying those meals because I am vegetarian, and I elected the Root Vegetarian Hash with fruit. This meal was a 5 out of 5 for me. The perfectly seasoned squash, acorns, and yams combined to inflict a Killer Instinct - "Ultra Combo" on my palate that almost put me in a food coma. Hahaha! I'm such a nerd. But yes, it was that good! A lot of my family and friends raved about their food. Portion sizes were above average and a bit pricey, but everyone seemed overly pleased with their selections with one caveat. One of my friends said Unc's Wings were average and on the salty side. I forewarn you this is coming from someone who is a wing connoisseur. The customer service was top-tier. Parking at the time that we showed up wasn't too bad. We parked in the surrounding neighborhood and were lucky enough to find a spot right in front of the restaurant. Over-top-tier experience, I share my return. read more

Everyone who works there is just so nice and welcoming. The food was great. Hoe cakes are delicious, definitely order them without questions. We also got the fried chicken, dumplings, risotto, okra, and bread pudding. Fried chicken was crispy and pipping hot inside, the dumplings had nice spicy kick, risotto and okra were spiced well and complimented each other well. Although all were good, the hoe cakes and fried chicken deserve special mention. We will definitely be back! Beware of parking though, it was tough to find a spot around dinner time. read more

I had been to Communion before and was excited to finally take my husband. The menu had changed up a little since my last time but everything was still really good so no complaints there. It is a small spot (sorta) so you kind of get in where you fit in. We ended up at the bar and honestly it worked out perfectly. Our bartender was friendly, engaging and just made us feel right at home. Another staff member came through at some point and was equally as kind. The service all around was great. Now let me talk about the food because that cabbage had no business being that good. I know that sounds random but it was my favorite thing and I did not see that coming. The mac and cheese was delicious, the fried chicken was really good, and my husband was all about the rice and black eyed peas (surprisingly). I also ordered a non alcoholic drink and even though I cannot remember the name it was really good too. The only minor thing was that one of the items, I think it was the hush puppies or cornbread, came out a little lukewarm. They mentioned it can be hard to keep that particular item hot, and flavor wise it was YUM so it was not a dealbreaker. Everything else comes out fresh as it's cooked so just know timing can vary by dish. It did get crowded toward the end and they politely let us know people were waiting outside. They handled it with so much grace it did not feel uncomfortable at all. I will definitely be back. Already curious about what will be on the menu next time. read more

This was hands down my favorite meal of my weekend trip. I found this spot through TikTok, and it came highly recommended. We didn't have a reservation, but after about a 10-minute wait, we were lucky enough to snag two seats at the bar. From the moment we walked in, the vibe felt warm, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable. The seating seems intentionally designed to bring people together, and you could see it in the mix of large groups, couples, and even solo diners. Like the name, it had a "communal" energy that made the space feel alive and intimate. The hostess, bartenders, and our waitress were all phenomenal. They were attentive and easy to talk to. Also, the playlist was good. It really added to the overall experience. We started with the sweet potato hoe cakes, and they were absolutely amazing. I loved the texture. They were soft, pillowy, and balanced. They weren't too sweet, even with the honey butter. I wish I'd ordered more to go because I haven't stopped thinking about them. I'll have to try recreating them at home. For my entree, I ordered the stuffed trout, and this is where things really took off. It's a whole fried trout stuffed with a seafood dressing (shrimp, catfish and oysters), and it immediately caught my eye on the menu. I'm not used to eating whole fish, and I don't think I'd even had trout before, but this dish was mouthwateringly good. The fish was crispy, hot, and perfectly seasoned. The béarnaise sauce really set it off. There were so many layers of flavor and texture, and everything just worked together perfectly. On top of that, the presentation was stunning. I posted it on my Instagram story and immediately had people asking where my food was as from. This meal was very memorable. I have zero notes. The ambiance, food, music, and service were all top-tier. Side note: There is a 5% "communal" surcharge added to every bill. The money is used to support staff benefits, the support staff, and the line cooks. This is separate from the gratuity. This surcharge is clearly explained on the menu, and I really love and appreciate the transparency and that they care about the employees. But yeah. Super good. We love a good meal and we damn near left there skipping. read more

I came here for my brother-in-law's birthday dinner. From the time we arrived we were greeted outside by one of the owners named Damian and the vibes were high! From the customer service, to the food, to the drinks, and even the music playing...everything was a 10/10. The Unc's wings (my favorite dish) were flavorful and crispy, and my wife really enjoyed her stuffed trout. I'm glad I was able to support this black owned business. Wish I could give more than 5 stars! read more

We had dinner reservations for a Friday night at Communion. First thing: make reservations for sure - this is a popular spot - even with reservations we had to sit at the bar. Parking was hard to find so we ended up parking about 1.5 blocks away and walked. The space is small, inviting and lends to "communing" with your dinner companions. The artwork is amazing, great music in the background and all around great vibes. We started with cocktails and then ordered: Unc's Wings: these were probably some of the best chicken wings I've had in a while! Perfectly fried and moist at the same time. Mussels and Clams, which I do not eat, but my dining partner cleaned the entire plate and raved about them. The Collard Green Caesar was crisp and tasted fresh. Finally, the Mac 'N' Cheese which for me, was the best part, texture was perfection and it was amazing. We topped it off and ordered dessert to go because we were full. We took the Bread Pudding home and it was really, really good. The service here was friendly and you definitely get you what you pay for. I have reservations again with another friend in about a week...I clearly LOVE this place. read more

Restaurant & bar located in one of the newer apartment blocks in Central District. Warm and inviting interior, medium sized space. Street parking, and the nearby residential streets are very narrow, being 3 cars wide with cars parked on both sides. Very popular for weekend dinner. It's easier to get the reservation for the bar seats which is what we did. Waited for another 10-15 minutes after we checked in to get seated. Their menu is small on two sides of one sheet. To start, I got the Overcast cocktail. It went down smooth, but immediately felt the warmth of the alcohol afterwards, so there's definitely some booze in there. For food, I got their grill pork chop. It was a thick cut loin chop, over a tasty savory sauce. There's a little bit of a sweet chutney on top. Pork chop was not overcooked, and has some juiciness and bounce left. Overall, taste was good, but the food and drinks are getting towards the pricier side, coming out to about $75 with tip. read more

Everything here was delicious. We had the fried chicken, hoe cakes, collard greens, Mac and cheese and okra. The food was well seasoned. The service was great. The bread pudding and coconut cake were also good. I recommend for you to try if you are in Seattle. It's black owned. Parking is a little hard to find, so park near uncle Ike's it is only $5. read more

Busy busy busy but worth the wait! My partner and I visited a while ago for my birthday and it was absolutely essential to have a reservation on a Friday night. Even with our reservation, there was still a bit of a wait. We got sat right near the kitchen which was engaging because we could see some of the dishes get cooked and made. We ended up ordering the special salmon for that night and it seems that there are rotating main dishes. We also got a side of collard greens, mac and cheese, and fried chicken which were all so good! Our salmon dish was cooked perfectly and had a super flavorful sauce that had crayfish in it as well! That was my absolute favorite part and I am excited to have it again some day. The space was really cool and has a good vibe for either a nice dinner out or a fun night out too! It is a bit pricey for me but it is totally worth it for a special occasion dinner. I will be back! read more

First time at Communion and whew... I get it now. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance pulls you right in -- comforting, intentional, and inviting. The music? On point. A hip-hop & rnB playlist that sets the vibe without overpowering the experience. The staff is friendly and genuinely knowledgeable about the menu, which always makes a difference. Let's talk cocktails because the menu is creative in the best way. Names like "Hey Auntie" and "Purple-ish Drank" tell you exactly what kind of experience you're in for. I loved how efficient the bar is -- drinks are batch-made ahead of time, and one personalized bottle gets you roughly two cocktails, which is such a win. The hoe cakes deserve their own moment. Imagine sweet potato cornbread... but better. Buttery, warm, soft, with a lightly crisp exterior -- and the second you bite into it, it just melts in your mouth. Shoutout to Zaachila, our server -- absolutely amazing. Friendly, attentive, and just had a dope, welcoming energy that made the whole experience even better. Now... the wings. Listen. These were something else. Crispy, juicy, seasoned all the way to the bone -- truly tasted like home cooking done right. The mushroom tibs with injera were super creative and surprisingly tasty. There was an initial spice kick, but after a few bites my taste buds adjusted and everything balanced nicely. The black-eyed pea hummus was smooth, creamy, and full of flavor, pairing perfectly with the injera. Lastly, the greens with smoked neck bone were good -- rich and comforting. I personally like my greens a bit more zesty, but the pickled onions added a tanginess that I really appreciated. They were slightly overcooked for my preference, but still very enjoyable overall. All in all, Communion delivered on food, vibe, and service. A thoughtful, soulful dining experience that feels intentional from start to finish. I'll definitely be back. read more

I have been here many, many times and I keep coming back because it is so good and such a treat! This time it was with my 6th grade besties and some I closing me who graduated from Garfield HS which the owner/son went to, as well as many servers. It was yet again delicious! Went to try their new Sunday Brjnch menu. Wow - wow - wow!!! It was sooooooooooo gooooood! You have to GOO! Pretty much ordered everything. The drinks were delicious I closing the fog, Bloody Mary, and more. The catfish and grits, pork chop, chicken wings which I get all the time everything was so phenomenal. And dessert was to die for. It took a bit to get seated but they are busy. We sat in the outside patio which had heaters and it was so cozy and nice which was so surprising. It was so perfect. The owner Damon came out and was so awesome and made us feel at home. Even players that put us all in the right mood! Yaaaaas! Great memories! This place is a must!!!! You have to!!! Try it!!!! Please!!! You won't regret it.... (: read more

The food was phenomenal! Will be back next time im in town! read more

I had such a wonderful experience at COMMUNION! We came in with a large party, and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. As a thoughtful gesture, they even brought out complimentary appetizers, which was such a nice surprise and really set the tone for the evening. One of the highlights was learning about the rich history of the building, it's a national landmark, and it adds a special depth to the whole dining experience. Our hostess was incredibly attentive and patient, making sure everything ran smoothly for our group. The food itself was fantastic. We ordered a variety of dishes and shared everything family-style, which turned out to be the perfect way to experience the menu. I highly recommend doing it this way if you want to try a little bit of everything. A helpful note for future diners: the table orders all at once and receives a single bill at the end. It actually makes things much easier and keeps the flow of service smooth. read more

Visited Communion on a very busy Saturday night. We did have a reservation so we were able to be seated fairly quickly, but I definitely recommend reserving in advance on the weekend! Inside, the restaurant was very warm and cozy on a rainy night, and the food itself was just as cozy. The greens and mac and cheese were delicious and very hearty portions for sides. The fried chicken wings were perfectly crispy and seasoned. Since the menu changes from time to time, we weren't expecting to see the salmon and crawfish czarina, but it was definitely a favorite. The crawfish was amazing and the flavor combinations were wonderful :) read more

I was in Seattle for a work conference and our group rented out Communion for a private dinner. I had heard about their "Seattle Soul" concept, but experiencing it in person made it clear why this place has the reputation it does. Led by Chef Kristi Brown and co-owner Damon Bomar, the menu blends Southern comfort food with international and Asian influences in a way that feels thoughtful, not forced. Instead of ordering individually, our hosts curated a communal spread for the table, which felt perfectly aligned with the restaurant's mission of fostering closeness and belonging The table was covered with fried chicken wingettes, fried catfish skewers, okra, brussel sprouts, carrots, broccoli, collard greens, deviled eggs with oysters, macaroni & cheese, shrimp toast, and hoecakes. It was a feast. Everything was delicious, but the okra absolutely stole the show for me. I'm usually not an okra person because I don't love slimy textures. This was the opposite. Crisp, well-seasoned, and perfectly cooked. I kept going back for more. The mac & cheese was rich and comforting, the catfish skewers were well-balanced, and the deviled eggs with oysters were a fun, elevated touch. The staff handled our large group with ease. Service felt organized without being stiff. The bartenders were cool, efficient, and kept the drinks flowing without long waits The space itself is on the smaller side, which makes it ideal for intimate dinners or private events. The bar is stunning, and the decor is beautiful. Black art and culture are thoughtfully highlighted throughout the restaurant, and you can feel the intention behind the space. If you're looking for food with flavor, heart, and purpose, Communion delivers. read more

The food is so so delicious!! The okra was the BEST okra I've ever had in my life. The clam and muscles comes in such a flavorful broth that you just can't stop eating, the wings are crispy on the outside an juicey inside! The service is good and the ambiance is casual but chic. Their NA drinks are as good as their cocktails too! They can only spit the check 3 ways evenly, so be prepared if you're with a larger group. read more

First off, COMMUNION R&B is a vibe. Well situated with indoor and outdoor seating and a short ride away from the downtown area. There is a lot of residential around meaning parking can be scarce. Came with a reservation and was seating promptly. There were a few groups waiting and all wete seated in no time. Based on the dishes ordered, here were the individual ratings: Fried Chicken: 4.5/5 (wish it was just a little crispier) Mac & cheese: 4/5 Collard Greens with neck bones: 4/5 Deviled Eggs: 4.5/5 Dumplings: 3.5/5 Brown Liquor (old fashioned): 5/5 (love the portion!) Overall, highly recommended. I dropped just one star because it felt like it took a while to get service once we were seated but service was good otherwise. Will be back! read more

Wooooooooweeeeee! This place was food heaven and cultural bliss. Sadly, I don't know if I'll ever make it back since this was my first and only visit to Seattle and I no longer have people in the area. But if you live there or near there or otherwise find yourself thereabouts, exercise good self-care and stop by to feed your body and soul. I mean...the food, the service, the vibe was all grand. I was so happy to celebrate my dear friend's birthday with her at such a special establishment. And Black-owned to boot, so I was proud to have the opportunity to support. read more

I recently got the chance to try this place out, and I'm so glad I did. I arrived on time for my reservation, but the other person in my party was a few minutes out, so they didn't seat me and actually had me wait outside. For me, this is where they lost points as it was cold and rainy and the restaurant wasn't remotely full. I get that this is their policy, albeit annoying. When my friend arrived and we were invited back inside and seated, our server was quick and kind. She made some great recommendations and was very personable. My friend and I shared the dumplings which were flavorful and tasty, and I ordered the Laotian sausage eggs Benedict while my friend ordered the pork chop with a side of mac and cheese and grits. We both loved our entrees and felt the flavor profiles were unique. The Mac and cheese seemed to be missing something, but everything else was tasty. Definitely will come back! read more

Coming from the south I feel they did overall pretty well .. the chicken was a bit Greasy and the breading was measy. The sauce tasted like your average hot sauce... The Mac and Cheese was aight....now what was killing the game was the Collard Cesar Salad and their Uncle Nearest in a bottle. I wish I had only got those 2 things then they would of gotten a perfect 5. The service was good no complaints there and the Staff was friendly. read more

In opera they used to say the further you get from Vienna the worse the music becomes. For me, the further you get from the south the worse soul food gets. But when I say that, I'm never talking about Communion. Communion is it. I was blown away by this place. I loved to see all of the cushions on the menu. And the aroma that comes from the kitchen is divine, and it greets you before the hostess does. We had to wait a little bit longer for our reservation to become ready because of how busy they were. And the hostess was happy to get us set up with drinks while we waited. Also, you really should secure a reservation. By the time I finished my first drink, we were being seated by our waitress, Kristina. Flawless service by the way. No issues just praise. She gave food and drink suggestions and the drinks just magically kept refilling themselves like I was at Hogwarts or something. Let's get into the plate plates. I was hungry. Sure. And this was still a case of eating with my eyes and not my stomach. I ordered the deviled eggs and the special which had blackened salmon, and a crawfish étouffée. It was more food than I was expecting so I did get a box. So basically if you're thinking about going, do. It's really amazing. If the weather is good sit outside because inside is packed and loud. 10 10 10 across the board. read more

Ambience/decor is good but a little loud for my taste - you have to talk a bit loudly to hear someone across from you. The food here is good in regards to novelty of dishes, but I can't help but feel like it's on the more expensive side for what it is. My favorite of what we got was the salmon dish, which had lots of flavor for each component of the dish. Love that it's a minority owned business and service was pretty good! read more

We arrived for our reservation and were seated at a huge, beautiful live edge, wooden table shared with 2 other parties, previously seated. We had plenty of space and were very comfortable. The overall restaurant is loud, might be difficult for those with hearing aids or hearing difficulties. It also ran it bit warm inside as the evening wore on. It was fun to watch the kitchen staff cooking (open concept) and they looked like they were not only well oiled but enjoying themselves too! We ordered, deviled eggs, dumplings, fried chicken wings, hot cakes, greens with neck bones, macaroni and cheese, cabbage, pork chop with hop n john, mushroom tibs, coconut cake and the bread pudding. Impossible to pick a favorite, honestly! read more

Came here to celebrate my birthday and it was a delicious meal. Definitely a few dishes I would come back for. Favorite dishes were the grilled okra, clams and mussels, dumplings, and chicken wings.

We visited Communion on a busy Saturday night and loved the lively, social vibe. We were seated quickly despite the crowd. The shared plate style was fun and we ordered Unc's Wings, grilled okra, dumplings, mac and cheese, deviled eggs, and Bahiya's Biscuit. The wings were juicy and perfectly seasoned, the mac and cheese and deviled eggs were also delicious, and I am just not a big fan of okra. Service was a bit slow, likely because the kitchen was very busy, but the staff were friendly and attentive. Overall, a great place to experience local vibe and soul food in Seattle. read more

The wings here are excellent--among the best I've had. That said, there is a comparable restaurant across the street that offers similarly strong flavors, slightly better execution, and notably stronger service. At this price point, the overall experience should match the quality of the food. Unfortunately, the service felt rushed. While we were still actively sharing plates and enjoying our meal--less than an hour into our reservation--we were asked if we wanted boxes. It created the impression that the table was being turned quickly rather than that we were being hosted thoughtfully. For a restaurant of this caliber, a more paced and attentive service experience would better align with the quality of the cuisine. read more

415. I was visiting Seattle to look for an apartment prior to my big move. This place happened to be within walking distance and was actually my first meal here. And it didn't disappoint. My friends had been here before so they ordered all the things. So much so that the server double checked them cause she thought they ordered too much. No regrets though. The food was so comforting. I can see why they went cray and with good reason. read more

Listen. I came with my mama and almost slapped her because the food is THAT good! First off, I made a reservation online and came in and the lovely hostess Jada greeted us so kindly, checked in on us throughout the meal and just felt like a friend. Anyway, they remembered my mom's birthday and everyone made a point to greet her. Our waitress Christina was also fabulous and we kiki'd over everything. She made good food recs, but the restaurant created such a good vibe that the people we sat next to gave us recs too. Chef Krista came out all casual like just to check on everyone and it wasn't until later I realized who she was. She so kindly graced us with celebratory bubbly (we fam now yall, don't go asking for favors). Anyway, everything in the menu looked amazing. It's family style with big portions and it was hard to narrow our choices down. We ended up getting the cabbage (devoured and I don't even like cabbage!), grilled chicken (over lentils with Ethiopian seasoning perfection), sweet potato how cakes (just get them. Indescribably good), and the mac n cheese (fabulous, and even more perfect with a dash of Franks). Anyway, just go with loose pants and expect to roll out happy. read more

Communion is one of those rare restaurants that feels like so much more than just a place to eat -- it's a celebration of culture, tradition, and community, all served with incredible food and heartfelt hospitality. We sat at the bar, which turned out to be the perfect spot. Not only did we receive top-notch service -- warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly -- but we also got to hear a bit of the story behind the restaurant from the staff. You can feel the passion for food and the industry in every detail, from the menu to the atmosphere. The dishes are rooted in traditional recipes but presented with a refined, elevated twist that makes each plate feel fresh and exciting. It's comfort food with soul, reimagined with style and care. Everything we tried was bold, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. Communion isn't just a great meal -- it's an experience built on love for the craft and respect for the culture it represents. Highly recommend grabbing a seat at the bar if you can. You'll walk away with a full belly and an even fuller appreciation for the people behind it. read more
