The reservation was made as a birthday gift for my spouse. Our experience from beginning to end was everything and more then I had expected. Yes, it is a luxury and not for everyone. For us, It is a perfect fit for something special and on occasion.

Capitol Hill

About the restaurant

FareStart's James Beard award-winning model for social change is fueled by our restaurant. We’re located in the heart of Seattle for breakfast/lunch on weekdays (walk-ins only), private catered events, Guest Chef Nights and other special dining experiences.

Our beloved Guest Chef Night pairs premier local chefs with FareStart students to create a three-course meal served by volunteers. These events occur on Thursday evenings, tickets are released a month in advance and reservations are needed. These events generally sell out quickly, so we recommend booking as soon as possible.

FareStart is a social enterprise nonprofit focused on job training and employment. Our restaurant and other food-based businesses serve as classrooms for students to gain culinary skills that prepare them for careers in and beyond the food service industry. Since 1992, we’ve helped more than 15,000 adults and youth work toward stability and economic mobility.

We were attracted to The Tin Table by its high Google rating, its diverse (perhaps eclectic) menu, very reasonable prices. It did not disappoint. The sharables are certainly adequate for sharing or realistically an entrée if you choose not to share. The cheese plate with the warm olives is a fantastic combination.

Our waiter was great! My only complaint about the night was the loudness of the music. It was hard to hear the conversation at my table.

Bothell

About the restaurant

The krō bär is an eclectic bar with a speakeasy vibe and a passion for spirits and great food with a nod to another era.

Tucked away on Main Street in Bothell, a walkable neighborhood teaming with local art, culture and food, the artfully handcrafted krō bär has been reclaimed from the bones of Bothell’s historic hardware store in the Mohn building. The 16-foot-high tin ceilings, a hanging catwalk and the original wood floors were uncovered and restored.

Please note we are 21 and older only.

Due to the size of our location, we are unable to seat parties of more than 4 guests.

Service was superb. When one of our party asked about her champagne being warm the server happily helped. Food delicious. It is a speakeasy vibe for sure, looking forward to summer when garage door will be opened.

About the restaurant

Sushi master Ryuichi Nakano casts a wide net at SanKai, drawing longtime fans and welcoming newcomers to his intimate new sushi restaurant in the heart of downtown Edmonds. Enjoy our cozy dining room, omakase sushi bar, or heated outside dining in our domes.

Please note we are a small restaurant and children (babies) need to me accounted for in your reservation if you need seating/highchair. Stroller space is limited and may not always be accommodated.
