- OTOpenTable DinerSeattle / Eastern Washington •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoGosh I could eat here everyday if I was a king. Every drink I’ve ordered, both alcoholic and virgin, have been so delicious. Ingredients are so fresh and full tasting. This is definitely my favorite restaurant in Seattle and I wish I could turn the clock back and have my partner and I’s first date here.More infoMomiji Capitol HillPrice: Expensive• Japanese• Capitol Hill / First Hill•4.8
- JLJLewSeattle / Eastern Washington •20 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoMy Favorite keeps getting better! Tonight, we ordered different items than the typical Greek dishes that one already knows about. OMG...the dishes were exceptional! Everything we had was A+ so you can order literally anything on the menu and be wowed. No need to be shy about trying something different. To top it off, the owner brought 2 wine bottles to try (Monday nights wine bottles are steeply discounted) and the 2 bottles (whites) were exceptional, delicious AND interesting, unlike your typical Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio. The Greek wines on the list are worth trying - again, be adventurous. It is great to know that our favorite restaurant (where we take out-of-towners) keeps getting better and better.More infoOmega OuzeriPrice: Expensive• Greek• Capitol Hill / First Hill•4.8
