    We had a delicious dinner consisting of local food including roasted sturgeon, duck ragu and mushroom gnocchi—definitely not what you would consider PNW standards. That’s what makes this place so incredibly special. This restaurant is the quiet and singular alternative to the many corporate/chain-owned restaurants you find everywhere in Seattle. A gem.

    We were looking for a cozy place to eat on a rainy Seattle evening and Single Shot did not disappoint. The food was excellent. Craft cocktails were well balanced. Service was also on point. We noticed several regulars rolling in throughout our dining experience, all who were greeted warmly from the team at Single Shot. Always a good sign!! We will definitely be back!

    Service was great. Ambience and noise level were comfortable and as expected for a well known breakfast spot. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars on the food, was that the yolks in the poached eggs were firm instead of fluid. Otherwise, the food was good!

    I wanted a quality high-end dining experience and I got it. Nell’s has been around for a very long time. The restaurant is intimate without being cramped. Conversation is easy because it’s not noisy. We had quality service and the food is very good. I gave Nell’s 4 stars for value but that might be more indicative of Seattle in general than Nell’s. Compared to dining most anywhere in the world, Seattle is expensive and Nell’s seemed pricey for the portions served. But overall it’s a satisfying experience.
