Food Scene

Amazing fresh wood fired pizza, wine, and salads. Best to make reservations ahead of time or show up right when they open to avoid a long wait time for a table. Our favorite pizza in Seattle.

They also have an app based ordering system which we have instructions for in our guest suite binder.

Our favorite Thai food in the city. We haven't tried a dish we didn't like. In fact, we like it so much we are regular's here. Offers both carry out and dine in options. We love walking her in the warmer months as there is a great view of the sunset over the Olympic mountains as you walk home down the hill.

Italian style coffee and espresso served old school with an aim for the authentic italian coffee experience (as I haven't yet been to Italy I can't vouch for this, but it is a local favorite). They serve Berardo coffee, a coffee roasted over a wood fire outside of Rome, known for its toastiness and dark chocolate taste. Indoor seating is limited but they have a nice outdoor covered patio space.
