Best Restaurants for Birthdays in International District

Very cozy nice place, excellent service and ambience, delicious flatiron steak. Maybe come up with a couple more cocktails? Only gin based drink is summery gin and tonic, on rocks… feels like a couple more would be amazing!

What a special place and special meal. My wife have been trying to dine here for over 25 years and we finally made it happen. We knew it was going to be a great night when we were seated at one of the widow seats. Didn't know that space had been added. We absolutely loved our waiter Patrick; we was spectacular in every way. Solid wine list at reasonable prices. Loved the Barbera d' Asti from northern Italy The local Washington oysters were a treat. Arancini (3) were hot and delish. Went for the classic Pink Door lasagna (I never order Lasagna in restaurants - Costco lasagna has ruined me forever on the dish!) However I loved this version - such subtle flavors. My wife had the pappardelle (she makes a number of great PD dishes) and she loved what she ordered. Ended the evening with the sticky toffee dessert which also was rich and memorable! It's clear the Pink Door know its lane and everything works. Every thing we ate was memorable and we can't wait to return and try what we didn't have a chance to enjoy. We flew up from Sacramento to see Beethoven's 7th at the Seattle Symphony. Thanks for your part in making our trip more than we ever could have hoped for.

We had the best steak, seafood and wine before the symphony. Jon our server was the best at keeping us on time and provided great service. The other staff were very gracious too.

I went to La Fontana Sicilana for the first time in over 30 years! The ambiance was how I remembered it. Super sweet and quaint. The staff were amazing. Ray our server was tentative, kind, knowledgeable. He made it a memorable experience for my sisters and especially me! We were a party of six so we were able to try many options on the menu which all did not disappoint. If I had to say one thing I would change, it would be to not overcook the gnocchi! A smidge mushy, but still amazing in flavor. Thank you for bringing my memory and youth back! Love that you haven't changed a thing. Why change a Michelangelo:)

Il Terrazzo Carmine never disappoints! I've been dining there since 1990 and it's been great every time. No need to say more.
