- HUHUDDUGreater Boston •18 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoMy third visit here and it just gets better! I tend to visit on my birthday, alone, and they never fail to say happy birthday when I arrive, treat me warmly throughout the meal, and make sure I walk away with a meal that is not only exceptional but memorable. As a solo diner, ai felt at home, not conscious at all, in the coziness of the dining room. Not having to converse with a companion (phew) I could read my book and savor every sweet sip of my Paper Plane cocktail and every bite of my cavatelli with duck confit. Spinasse: Always has been and continues to be a special place to dine.More infoSpinassePrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Capitol Hill / First Hill•4.8
- MLMichaelLvipSeattle / Eastern Washington •6 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoVery excited to see local distillery Oola opening a restaurant. The menu is small with shareable plates - great for a couple or small group. We ordered nearly everything and nothing was a disappointment! Many of the cocktails use the Oola spirits and they have a nice wine list. The hosts KT and Kirby (distiller) are great and excited to greet every customer. Definitely keeping to charm of the previous restaurant. Looking forward to Oola Capitol Hill being our go-to.More infoOOLA Capitol HillPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Seattle Center / Lower Queen Anne•5
