Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Laurelhurst

When we first arrived at San Fermo for our birthday reservation, we didn’t receive the warmest welcome from the host. We were the first guests to arrive that evening, and were sat at a table by a door in a high traffic area. The seat closest to the door was constantly getting bumped into by servers and guests walking by. I didn’t care for the soundtrack of Creed while I dined, but that’s just me. Given this, I didn’t have the highest expectations for our meal from start. When we told our server, Paul, that we were celebrating a birthday, he brought us a prosecco toast. We enjoyed the charred onion with Comte, and paired it with bread as per Paul’s suggestion — this was the move! The poblano and grilled corn pasta was just what we wanted, and the short rib plate was delicious. Paul really made our experience delightful, and we’re looking forward to our next visit. I would suggest adding a tip line to the bill for guests who wish to tip in addition to the service charge. I was caught off guard and did not have enough cash to show my appreciation for the meal and service provided.

It was everything we hoped it would be! From the ambiance to the delightful treats! We will definitely return.

Another amazing experience at a Seattle, Capitol Hill staple. Always wonderful!

The food is always excellent, but we now go for the Tajarin pasta. It is incredible.

Wonderful and delicious lunch on a beautiful day! Thank you so much!
