Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Ballard

Exceptional service from Hilda (we sat at the bar) and the lady who brought us food and all the sauces, unfortunately didn't get her name, but she also went above and beyond. Made my birthday lunch and experience.

I consider myself a pretty hard-core "foodie", and Terra Plata is my favorite restaurant for great food, great service, and great vibes in Seattle. Tonight we had a group of 13 for dinner before a show at the Paramount Theater. Our server was attentive and did a perfect job of pacing tje food to get us out the door at the preferred time. I let him choose our courses, and he wisely asked questions around the table about preferences and restrictions before sending out an amazing selection. The food was stellar, as is the norm for Terra Plata. After we finished, I had THREE of my guests come to me to tell me that it was one of the best meals they had ever eaten. Terra Plata really is that good! The Brussels sprouts are a personal favorite and everyone agreed that they were amazing. But there wasn't a single dish that was less than a 5/5 experience. Other highlights were the confit lamb riblets, beef cheek gnocchi, and blistered shishito peppers. If you go to Terra Plata as a group, try ordering family-style so you can taste more options.

Fun experience, gorgeous hotel lobby area, a nice time overall

Delightful dinner! Had oysters on the half shell and the king salmon.

Great place for brunch. Food is always flavorful and fresh. Atmosphere is chill and the staff is attentive. Highly recommend the shrimp and grits and the short rib and kimchi Benedict.
