We had a great overall dining experience celebrating my wife’s birthday! The staff accommodated our reservation requests. We had a great booth seating and a great ambiance for our dinner. Our server, Jamie was knowledgeable, courteous, and attentive! Her partner ensured our water glasses were always topped off and our used dishes and utensils were promptly removed. Our food was perfectly prepared and tasted delicious! Thank you for providing us a memorable dining experience tonight!

This was a really fun experience for the family. Really enjoyed the cheese section. I was pretty full already after cheese and salad. The meat section was good but it felt like a lot for one person. My kiddo loved loved the chocolate section. We got the chocolate turtle. Would do it again with friends for happy hour or a really special occasion. Server was wonderful. Really liked our service!

About the restaurant

***We do not take reservations during regular service but do offer them for Valentine's Day weekend, February 12th-16th. On all other days, please just stop in and we will seat you as soon as possible***

Fishing pub meets restaurant. This bustling neighborhood restaurant specializes in oysters and other seafood dishes. Using nothing but the freshest ingredients, Chef Taylor Thomas creates seasonal food. The Walrus and the Carpenter also serves wine, smart cocktails, beer and cider. It makes an ideal after-hours hangout spot. Enjoy some fried oysters with a cold beer, surrounded by cozy rustic furnishings. If you prefer an alternative to seafood, look no further than the steak tartare, which comes with thinly sliced rye toast and egg yolk. Launched in 2010 to rave reviews, The Walrus and the Carpenter is open daily from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m.

We hope to see you soon! Until we meet at the table....

Mexican

Belltown / Pike Place Market

About the restaurant

For generations, molinos have served as celebrations of the most honored culinary tradition in our Mexican culture — nixtamal! Translated from the native Nahuatl, nixtamal is the production of corn dough, or masa.

The molineros’ millenary artisan techniques in the nixtamal process are the foundation for creating all great antojitos — the craveable snacks sold by street vendors all across Mexico.

Our mission is to preserve and promote the beautiful, bio diverse treasure that is heirloom, non-GMO Mexican corn. We work directly with local, small-scale farmers to ensure our grains are sourced in an ethical and sustainable way. Our authentic, fresh, small-batch recipes allow you to experience your favorite Mexican dishes the way they were meant to be — the same way we enjoyed them as kids!

By introducing the Seattle community to our traditions, we hope that you'll fall in love with them as much as we have. Thank you for being a part of this journey. We w

Pizzeria

Capitol Hill / First Hill

About the restaurant

We opened our first pizzeria in 2004 in the burgeoning Capitol Hill neighborhood. For months before we opened curious onlookers poked their heads in the former auto body shop, and outlandish rumors spread. One person saw a team of masons reportedly flown in from Naples to build a gargantuan wood-fired oven, someone heard that the bricks also came from Naples rich with Vesuvian ash, a reporter ran a story about a taxi driver leading our owner down a dark Neaopolitan street to meet a talented Pizzaiolo who was then whisked to an airport….

As it turns out almost all of the tall tales are true – on opening night people lined up for the authentic Neaopolitan pizza and since then our ovens have only gotten busier. Via Tribunali has been called "more authentic than the pizzerias of Naples," and even though that is a flattering exaggeration it is fair to say that our pizzerias have grown out of an almost unnatural passion for the food & wine of Southern Italy.
