Relocating from California has had its challenges but dinner was not one of them, thanks to Pink Salt. We were hungry after checking into our Airbnb and this restaurant was right up the street in Magnolia's cute little downtown area. The ambience is neat and inviting. Peruvian food is a favorite of our family and we needed to get some real comfort food. This did not disappoint! The service was great. Very friendly server with good knowledge of the menu. Our dishes arrived quickly, and it was all hot and absolutely delicious. We were so pleased! We ordered the seafood rice, black cod risotto and lomo saltado. Incredible! Each dish was a crowd pleaser. We will be coming here often. Congrats and thank you to the staff for making our first dinner a beautiful memory! We are not easily impressed;)

I visited about a week ago. Food was hit or miss, some excellent, some not executed well. Upon…read morebeing seated I was asked if I would like a drink. I asked for iced tea, the server flatly said "We don't have that". I asked for a coffee, same response, "we don't have that". No offer of a substitute, the interaction felt robotic. I had water. Not having iced tea is or coffee at a restaurant open for lunch on the weekend is weird. Snap Pea and Arugula salad was ok. dressing was understated. I would not order again. Airwaves square pizza tasted great! Different style than any other pizza I have ever had. Crust is essentially focaccia without the good part of focaccia (salty, oily, herb-y) toppings seemed pretty skimpy. The pie was unique and I enjoyed it. I felt that the portions were pretty small, a small pie does not feed 2 people. The food was good, but Sunny Hill is not a good value. I have no problem dropping $50 on a pizza (in Seattle) if it is excellent, but this did not meet the premium price point.

Fresh on our Detroit-style pizza binge, our first since moving away from Detroit, we chose Sunny…read moreHill for our next stop. We walked in right after they opened for a Saturday lunch and were the second group seated. Crunchy Cauliflower ($18) - Amazingly robustly crunchy breading surrounding a tender roasted cauliflower inner core. It's so evenly breaded and adheres so well to the moist interior that it almost seems like a commercially breaded frozen cauliflower. But these have to be homemade, right? They are sprinkled with a chili crisp-esque aleppo oil, which is dry rather than oily, and has a bit of sweetness to complement the heat. It's all on top of a super creamy and thick cashew and cilantro sauce. It's fresh and nutty, and really delicious. (5/5) Now onto the pizza. Taken from another of my reviews: there are several characteristics that define Detroit-style. Firstly, the base must be a thinner and chewier focaccia dough-like crust, pillowy on the interior and with a crispness on the bottom and sides that are somewhat greasy but not overladen*. There must be flavorful Wisconsin brick cheese (or blend), buttery and fatty, melted on top and spread until it spills over the sides of the crust, creating a crisp caramelized frico ring surrounding the pie. The pepperoni must be underneath the cheese**, and the flavorful tomato sauce, typically in several wide lines, is spread atop the cheese. There must not be too many toppings to prevent the crust from compressing and ruining the texture. *Note 1: The fat/grease is very important, both to allow the crust to crisp up and to act as a hydrophobic layer to prevent sogginess. **Note 2: This is the one trait I dislike since it makes the pepperoni limp and soaked with grease. Loyal w/ Pepperoni, 4-Square ($31) - Before I get started, I have to say that the pricing for the 4-Sq vs 8-Sq is bizarre. In no world should an 8-Sq pepperoni pizza be $56. Not to mention it's actually MORE expensive than the 4-Sq on a $ per square inch basis! And you get 4 less corners? People pay a premium at Jet's for their 8 corner pizza! I'm sorry, for a value proposition, this pizza gets a big fat zero. Usually Detroit-style take a while come out, typically 20+ minutes, often over 30 minutes. This one took less than 15, which I found very curious. Surprisingly, the pizza actually comes cut into four slices instead of six, unlike pretty much everywhere else on the West Coast. It looks picture perfect, with the two saucy racing stripes across the top and a superior lacy frico crust along all edges. It's seriously a sight to behold, one of the more perfect Detroit-style pizzas I've seen in a long time. It's after lifting a slice up that things start to unravel, at from a traditional technical perspective. Instead of baking the toppings on raw dough, Sunny Hill seems to either par or fully bake the crust before adding toppings, then bake again. This means the crust doesn't fully meld with the toppings, resulting in a crumb that's extremely airy and light and a taste that's somewhat disparate rather than harmonious. It's more akin to focaccia with toppings rather than pizza. And yet this allows the base to be fully fried on all sides, lending a superior buttery browned flavor. Unfortunately this method of assembly causes an issue - the frico literally slides off the bread. Even before picking up a slice, I could see it separating from the dough and melted cheese bleeding through. The top is a little more forgiving, so the melted mozzarella and brick cheese mixture does manage to mostly adhere. Speaking of the brick cheese, it really does make a huge difference in flavor. This blend is miles better in flavor complexity and fattiness as compared to most Detroit-style places around here that use pure mozzarella or a blend without brick cheese. The sauce is very good as well. It's balanced between sweetness and acidity, spiced just enough to add flavor but still keep the fresh zing of a great tomato sauce. On top of the sauce, the pepperoni is charred and cupped. It seems to be carefully applied so there aren't too many overlapping pieces. This ensures the pizza doesn't become too salty, which is really appreciated. Value-wise this pizza is terrible. $31 is the most I have ever paid for a 4-sq pizza. Heck, it's more than I've paid for many 8-sq pizzas. Luckily for Sunny Hill, I don't usually include value in my ratings, but I was seriously considering dropping the score here. (5/5) I think with this pizza, traditionalists will cry afoul. People who are more open minded will accept that this is a delicious pizza regardless of all the flaws. I'm in the latter group, although with a caveat: What Sunny Hill serves is emphatically not Detroit-style; It's a great Detroit-style-Inspired focaccia with toppings. Bathrooms - Two unisex rooms.

I had moved to Ballard from Snohomish…read morefollowing my heart for love and one of our first long day dreaming walks in the neighborhood we stumbled across a corner restaurant that seemed to have been cherished by the community and had a menu that spoke to my heart, almost as much as my soon to be and now wife. Fast forward to a year later and my bride surprised me on my birthday yesterday with an eagerly awaited indulgence. ELDR did not disappoint! The space was cozy, the staff was exactly what I wanted concerning passion and someone who you could share a drink with and talk industry for hours. I wish we would have done better documenting our selection but that just means we'll have to go back and eat our way through the menu! I wish I would have asked if the bread service had an half order. It's a great value and the charred Onion Compound butter was next level. We shared everything as I imagine the small menu was design to do and the potatoes were heavenly. I loved the grilled cabbage dish (undocumented) and the braised pork short ribs with the Meyer lemon bbq sauce was an amazing find. The seasonality is spot on and I hope the menu follows the weather. I can't wait to see what they do for hearty cold weather at the end of the year if that's how the chef's want to proceed.

I'm not quite sure how to rate this restaurant. The food was delicious and incredibly flavorful. If…read moreI were reviewing the food alone, it would easily be five stars. That said, I'm rating the overall dining experience. After the remodel, I expected they would have addressed the excessive smoke in the dining room. I understand it's a small space and everything is cooked over a wood-fired grill, but I've dined at other wood-fire restaurants and never experienced anything quite like this. The moment you walk in, it feels like you're standing next to a bonfire. You can actually see the smoke hanging in the air. At times it was so overwhelming that I wondered how I was going to make it through dinner. The smell follows you home and clings to everything--your outerwear, the clothes underneath, and even your hair. Mine still smelled like smoke the next day. Our server was perfectly pleasant, and I have no complaints about her specifically, but the service did not feel worthy of the automatically included 22% gratuity. In addition, she encouraged us to order the market-price steak for two but never mentioned that it was $180. To be clear, the steak was excellent and I don't regret ordering it, but I do think an entrée at that price point deserves at least a brief mention while it's being recommended. The final bill came to around $400 for two people. We ordered four dishes total (a small plate, vegetable, entrée, and dessert) along with three beverages. I have no problem spending that kind of money on a great meal, but in the future I'd rather do so somewhere that doesn't include a mandatory gratuity for average service--and where I don't leave needing a dry-cleaning bill as well.

Outsiders has a solid smoky, flavorful bbq for sure! I had the burnt ends which were pleasantly fatty, as they should be. The fries were crispy and not greasy.
