Spinasse - (Near Seattle, WA)

Jess Senires This is one of THE BEST restaurants in Seattle. Not only is the service stellar, their food is out of this world. Thai/Asian fusion truly at its best. The Siam lettuce cups with sea bass are flavor packed with delicate fish and a bit of heat that delight the senses and make you sit up in your seat. We opted to share the sea bass cha ca was incredible. Sea bass is marinated and done to perfection. The herbs and noodles perfectly complement the fish. It has to be one of the best items on the menu. For dessert it was the chocolate mousse. Decadent and not overly rich it was the perfect ending to the meal. There are lots of GF options and the staff is incredibly knowledgeable. Definitely get reservations as this place is packed every time we go.

tidojankinsandco Our first time finally trying this place and the service was on point. Prompt and friendly. Asked about dietary restrictions off the bat, which we do t have, but we appreciated none-the-less. Strazzoprati and Gnocci dishes we had were amazing, and also really enjoyed the fried Brussel sprouts appetizer. Topped off with a birthday candle lit tiramisu. Cant go wrong.

Cat King We visited Anthony’s Hearthfire grill for my parents bdays and the food was solid. So was service. I got the pork chop and my hubby got the lingcod. My toddler had the salmon meal. My toddler’s meal was pretty big size for a kids meal. Can’t complain. I tried it out and it was nicely charred like it was bbqed. My pork chop was unfortunately dry. I don’t blame the restaurant. I think it’s just how it is for all pork chops. The sauce/condiment on the pork helped with everything. It complimented the pork chop with sweetness. My husband thought the lingcod was alright. We all enjoyed the calamari and the prawns more than our mains. Overall, was a good restaurant for a special family event.

Shannon Port Ludlow is a favorite destination for me. The restaurant is in the hotel. Great view from outside seating. Atmosphere is cozy yet allows for large table seating. We went to happy hour this time. Service was prompt and friendly. Prices on happy hour menu were worth going early. We also ordered from the dinner menu. Fun cocktails and delicious fresh menu as well as yummy staples. Food: Mussels with a delicate sauce so can actually taste the mussels. Well done salmon caesar, dressing and fish flavorful. Steak was perfectly cooked. Pasta also delicious. Definitely will go here again (actually we have)!

Pacmon Argentinian chophouse (wish they had Argentinian beef) does do justice with US Beef! It’s tough to get a last minute reservation, especially on a weekend, so had food to go. My order consisted of Parilla Mixta, Flat Iron and the grilled sourdough. Instead of skewered skirt steak, I had a cut of skirt steak which I wasn’t complaining! Lol. The steaks were tender, well seasoned and properly grilled to MR. Poblano plenta was creamy and buttery goodness, and their chorizo sausage was completely unexpectedly awesome! Sourdough bread was chewy buttery goodness as was the iron steak with rosemary fries. Sourdough bread far, the best chophouse in Tacoma!

Rashmi Ray A Hidden Gem for New Year’s Day Dinner ​I’m honestly surprised this spot didnt pop up in my initial searches! We ended up here on a recommendation for a New Year’s Day family dinner, and it turned out to be a fantastic find. The atmosphere is spot on—the music is soft enough for easy family conversation but still maintains a great vibe. ​Drinks & Starters ​We started with the Whiskey Colada, which was light and refreshing. The roasted coconut rim provided a unique, smoky distinction that really elevated the drink. For an appetizer, we tried the Crab Dip. While the dip itself was a bit mild for my personal taste, the pairing with thin-sliced, ultra-crispy bruschetta was a perfect textural match. ​The Standout Entrees ​The absolute highlight of the night was the Mad Hatcher’s Chicken. It was cooked to perfection—tender and juicy—but the real stars were the layers of flavor provided by the squash and the seasoned rice. It’s a very thoughtful, interesting dish. ​We also tried the Bouillabaisse, which is a "must-order" if you are a seafood lover. The broth was rich, and the flavors were incredibly deep and authentic. ​The Grand Finale ​We wrapped up the evening with the Key Lime Mousse. It was the perfect palate cleanser—light, airy, and just the right amount of tartness to end a rich meal.
