Best Dog Friendly Restaurants in U Village / U District

We had a wonderful contented and would definitely visit again!

My husband and I made our first trip to Seattle to visit our grandson in the Navy, and this was the first restaurant we ate at. It was fantastic. It was Valentines Day and they easily moved our reservation after our flight was 1 hour delayed. Our server Joseph is the best and became a family friend guiding us through the menu. The chicken, spaghetti and meatballs (order non spicy), bruschetta, arraniatta, gnocchi with mushrooms and Cesar salad are amazing. Don’t forget dessert and the caramel cake with gelato. Five Stars and a must do for downtown!

Our first time eating here, despite being locals. The food isn't fancy, but it is good. Mostly authentic Bavarian fare, with a few modern dishes or modern takes on tradition (i.e., habanero-cheddar or Sichuan wursts). Good local tap line. And 5 indoor bocce ball courts! Where else can you find that in Seattle? We went early on a Friday before an event, and the place was pretty sleepy other than a private party at the back. The service was slow but friendly. I think they were still ramping up for the dinner crowd. It is a big place, with lots of seating. Outdoor garden seating with another bocche court as well. I can imagine it might get a bit loud when full. We will definitely go back.

We enjoyed a nice dinner and dessert on Valentine's Day, complete with a bottle of wine. Our entrees were delicious and so was the Brookie with vanilla ice cream. Our waiter Jose made us feel comfortable and relaxed and allowed us plenty of time to finish our bottle of wine after eating. The center tables were arranged fairly dense but we had a booth which allowed for a feeling of more privacy.

The oysters and fisherman’s stew were incredible. My only regret was I didn’t get a bowl of bisque to go. Highly recommended.
