- MMichaelVancouver / British Columbia •15 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoYou have to know what you are looking for or use GPS to find the Pink Door. It has a speakeasy feel to it. Loved the ambiance and everything about the place. We ate in the lounge where the entertainment was, which was great. For a more formal experience try the dining room at the back. It has the views. The Pink Door offers a wonderful evening of food and entertainment. Our server Dina was great.More infoThe Pink DoorPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Belltown / Pike Place Market•4.8

Our waitress was prompt, friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and efficient. Salad was unique and very flavorful. Small plate to share at Nichol’s recommendation, of scallops was outstanding. Main courses were again unique, flavorful, and exquisite. Desert was to die for. Best meals we’ve had, ever, in Seattle!

- CCaymanSeattle / Eastern Washington •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoWonderful meal - we had Steak Tartare, Caesar Salad, Crushed Potatoes, and a 10 oz Ribeye. Everything was fantastically flavorful and plated beautifully. The service was excellent and the food arrived in an appropriate amount of time - which is to say quickly, but slowly enough to ensure you know everything is made fresh to order. Great experience!More infoThe ShamblesPrice: Expensive• American• Roosevelt•4.8
- SSamboSeattle / Eastern Washington •6 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 1, 2025We went for brunch on New Years’s Day. The places was packed and although we had a reservation but it took ~30mins to get a seating. The food was amazing. We ordered the Classic French Toast and the Joe’s Scramble. Both the dishes had good portions. Portage Bay SLU is one of our top to-go brunch spots. We have been here multiple times and the experience here has been great most of the times.More infoPortage Bay Cafe - South Lake UnionPrice: Moderate• Northwest• Lake Union / Eastlake•4.7
