We top it all off with warm and knowledgeable service.

We took a group of four out to the Terra plata rooftop on a sunny day in Seattle. Everyone in our party was beyond impressed with the ambiance, food and service. Two of the members in our party had celiac and diabetes and the other two members are picky eaters but Terra plata was able to accommodate everything!

Single Shot in Seattle is an absolute gem! I had the crab eggs Benedict and the salmon lox on sourdough toast—both were outstanding. The crab was fresh and perfectly paired with the hollandaise, and the lox was delicate and flavorful atop hearty, toasted sourdough. The ambiance is cozy yet modern, with attentive service that improved the meal. Highly recommend for a stylish brunch
