Local 360, Bad Bishop, Central Smoke Bar and Smokery, Now on the Resy Hit List

Because smoky food and smoky cocktails go hand in hand. The menu includes dishes that showcase a Pacific Northwest style fused with Asian flavors—and, of course, smoke: think smoked Meyer Ranch prime brisket and Pure Country harvest ribs. Round it out with a “Smoke AF OF”– an Old Fashioned poured over a smoked rock for rich, undiluted flavor.

Because Via Tribunali is a reliable classic and its Georgetown location is a gem. A long list of pizzas grace the menu, alongside calzones, pasta, and more. Check out happy hour if you can, and snag select pizzas for $7.

Because this brand-new bar serves up stellar cocktails alongside classic American dishes (think Stopsky’s pickles, hand-dipped corn dogs, and shoestring fries). With brick walls, twinkly lights, and an old piano, Bad Bishop has an old-fashioned feel—completely apropos for Seattle’s historic Pioneer Square. Come for the drinks and stay for the good company and food.

Walk-ins only.

Because grab a group and sample the menu at this contemporary Szechuan spot. Housed in the former location of Ethan Stowell’s Anchovies and Olives, this sleek corner restaurant features an open and welcoming layout—perfectly suited to small or large parties. Best of all, the food, helmed by seasoned chef Travis Post, does not disappoint.

Walk-ins only.

Because almost everything served here comes from within a 360-mile radius, including the liquor. Unfinished wood paneling evokes “farm fresh,” and you can expect the menu to do the same, with dishes like rabbit liver mousse, wild mushroom tartine, a grass-fed burger, and bouillabaisse.

Because this Capitol Hill eatery marries Asian flavors and European techniques with ease. Masa dumplings filled with kimchi pork Bolognese and fried chicken topped with Chinese celery, peanuts, and pickled daikon are among the highlights.

Because classic New York-style pizza is hard to come by in Seattle, and Supreme’s unique toppings add the perfect twist. Spring for a slice or a whole pie, like the Oh, You’re Sooo Hawaiian (Portuguese sausage, pineapple, and jalapeño), accompanied by a frozen beverage.

Walk-ins only.

Because ‘tis the season for savory, heart-warming dishes. Here, count on dressed-up seasonal mainstays, like poule verte chicken broth, with green cabbage, pork belly, country ham, and chicken. Fancy something sweet? The baked treats are courtesy of nearby Amandine Pastries.

Walk-ins only.

Because from sushi to short ribs, Momiji is a surefire hit that boasts something for everyone.  In addition to traditional sashimi and nigiri, staples include tofu agedashi and Korean BBQ (kalbi) short ribs. And, for early birds, there’s a tempting happy hour, too.
