The staff was friendly, and I liked the overall atmosphere. It's very cozy and cute for a casual wine stop. The prices did feel a little on the higher end, and the red wine we ordered was slightly vinegary for my taste, so that part wasn't really my favorite. Overall, still a great experience and I'd come back, especially for the atmosphere and to try a different glass next time. A very cute neighborhood wine bar / bottle shop vibe.

It's a Peruvian restaurant with a very plain outside and dim lighting on the inside. The service was great, they were attentive. I unfortunately felt like the food and plating were really mediocre. We noted that the plates looked like plates you would find in a college dining hall. - Causa Acevichada: 5/5, really enjoyed the sauce. The rockfish tasted fresh! - Seco Limeno de Pollo: 3.5/5, the salsa was not as flavorful as I had hoped for. - Budin: 2/5, this was dry and small. I was really disappointed with this dessert. I enjoy that they had a menu for SRW; I would give them another try outside of SRW.

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.

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!!

I'm a well travelled Kiwi/New Zealander with high expectations for beautiful food. I met my English friend who has extensively travelled through Europe and we found this place and its cuisine to be delightful, flavoursome and fairly representative of food in parts of Italy. The tiramisu was a must...shared with two spoons. And great wine pairings. The service was down to earth and friendly considering how busy it was...and we weren't left waiting!

I ordered the Barbabietole salad (super refreshing and light), Gnocchi alla Gorgonzola (a little bit heavy and very cheesy because of the gorgonzola), Pasta Salsiccia (more of a classic red sauce pasta), and the dish of the day which was a ribeye steal (veryy delish). The dishes are sharable portions and paired well with wine. I'd recommend trying this place out!

Outstanding local wine tasting bottle shop. Tucked away in…read morePhinney Ridge. 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.

I had been wanting to check out Chez Phinney for awhile. Was planning a trip to Willamette Valley…read morewith friends and one of my friends suggested we meet up there after work to finalize some plans. Was the perfect spot I got there a little ahead of the rest of the gang so I enjoyed a hop water while waiting for them was greeted by friendly staff. Told them there was going to be four of us so they pushed a couple tables together for me. You give them a debit/credit card and they give you a card to use with the wine dispenser. Each wine has a nice write up so you know the religion and notes they have but the staff is more than happy to assist you and point you in the right direction if you tell them what you prefer. My friends arrived two of them already knew the owners so they caught with them a bit and I got to meet them wonderful people. We all decided to start with a Willamette Pinot since that was where we're planning for. I love the option of trying a taste before committing to a larger pour. You options are 1, 3 and 5 ounces. We ordered a bunch of appetizers since it was Happy Hour some were at a HH price which was nice. We enjoyed the cheese plate, onion dip and a tin of Calamari I believe had a photo but accidentally deleted. Was a wonderful light dinner for us all. Cute space warm ambiance, lots of tables and upper and a smaller lower area. Definitely would return wonderful selection of wines something for everyone

This is more like a bar in the sunset that you have amazing variety of wines. Not feeling like a domestic taste the international.

The people who are working at the wine bar were absolutely. Truly service with a smile. The interior is really pretty cool lots of things to look at and is also very comfortable I would definitely come here again

I believe The Ballard Cut seamlessly pairs culinary prestige with a warm, neighborhood atmosphere…read more My appreciation for their kitchen began a few years ago in their previous, smaller Ballard footprint, where I experienced one of my absolute favorite bites of food in the city. Remarkably, it was a side dish--a testament to how Chef Rachael treats every single component on the plate with meticulous care. When community members ask for recommendations that deliver both an exceptional meal and an outstanding beverage program, this is always the first destination I suggest. The menu beautifully balances signature cuts of steak with a thoughtful understanding that other proteins matter, offering expertly prepared chicken, fresh fish, and dedicated vegan main options. I truly believe "the bites" and "the sides" are equally treated as stars, and I always go back for the seasonal salad and crispy potatoes. The beverage program is equally legendary, offering an extraordinary opportunity to try rare whiskies from all over the world and different eras, where every single pour carries its own unique story. When I brought my partner in for his birthday, the owner asked a few questions of his whiskey interests, and customized a flight for him. It is a nicer, upscale restaurant that remarkably retains a deeply grounded community feel, and in my experience local recurring guests are remembered with genuine hospitality.

Bread and butter, bread crust is over cooked and supper dry. Butter dip : the garlic had burned flavor and the vinegar in it was a bit too unpleasant. Pork belly very under cook and chewy. Clam was okay. Water: I took a sip of my cup and instantly spit it back into the cup, taste like fishy or eggy or disgusting unwashed cup ... Main dishes: supper disappointing steak , supper chewy , not pleasant experience at all for a $200+ single order Pork chop, the sauce was interesting but it was also very chewy and nothing special. We spend over $340 and if it was as low as $20 we would never go back and try it again. I strongly recommend you to not go there for food. Very disappointing and low quality food, nothing as it is rated
