Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Phinney Ridge

Great restaurant! Attentive staff, amazing food, unique cocktails, all in all worth visiting!

The Shambles, a superb steakhouse without the formality of a steakhouse, is one of favorite restaurants in Seattle. Add in killer sides, delicious cocktails, and excellent desserts, all served up by a warm and friendly staff of professionals and you've got yourself the perfect evening out.

We were seated a bit before our actual reservation time and next to the windows with a view of Elliot Bay. Our server, Abbey , was so personable and professional and just delightful. We had the antipasto to start along with delicious garlic bread. My husband had the sole and I had the celery pear soup. It was all delicious and we felt the service was impeccable.

I feel this is a very special place and possibly the best dinner we've had anywhere. The staff are attentive, knowledgeable, & amazing. The dishes are unbelievably well crafted, amazing flavors, great presentation, to die for, I'm not just talking Seattle. Spinasse is a top 3 for me, if not number one in my book. Going back for my bday 🙂

Arrived from Idaho, Oregon and Bellingham to celebrate a 70th Birthday. Walked right in and sat down for our 5 o’clock reservation for 4. Delicious clam dip and chips starter. Ordered large sea scallops over creamed corn (delicious and just the right amount), seafood salad (also a perfect size, but a tad salty), Muscovy duck and braised short ribs. Both had an alternative sauce because the advertised sauce Dixie Bourguignon wasn’t ready yet and it was an excellent substitution (took some of each home). We received more of the wine we ordered as compensation for the inconvenience and both our server Tea H and the maitred were very apologetic and enjoyable to talk with. Birthday beignets with Bourbon ice cream and sauce (complimentary and plenty for all) and an order of vanilla bean cheese cake we shared also.Thanks for making the celebration so special .I’ve never had a bad time here, totally worth the cost.
