  • Another local restaurant/bar that I frequent. You'd be good going once because their menu is limited (food). The steak and fries are always oversalted so I sadly have to mention... read more

  • This place has amazing cocktails! I’m knocking off a star though as $8 for 1 small slice of focaccia is outrageous and feels a bit out of touch. Additionally, the... read more

  Jolie is one of my fan favorites. I've been going for four years. The chicken sandwich is to die for and the fries. They make a fantastic gin old-fashioned the atmosphere is relaxing and enjoyable for date nights and hanging out with friends.
The service is fantastic. Everyone there is friendly, enjoyable to have conversations with.

  Great space in Ballard with lots of natural light from the big front windows. Had brunch from the new menu. The Cornetto (toasted croissant with ricotta and jam) is a must have! Great music, super nice staff, not to mention the extensive gin collection! Worth a try!

  This chic, Asian/Mexican fusion restaurant is severely underrated and deserves every bit of attention and recognition! New management has completely turned this place around into a 5 star facility, and it is not common that a place can give me 5 star service.

My expectations were exceeded.

Every dish I tried was phenomenal, I kid you not. Ingredients I never thought would go together actually worked. My biggest favorites were: 1, corn bisque, which I will surely dream about. Served cold and unlike anything I've ever tasted. The blend of sweet creamy corn bisque, chili oil, a little radish and green onion...it's the ultimate comfort food dish that pulls you in within the first bite and leaves you wanting to order 5 more after.
And 2: the charred broccolini. Wow...do not pass this one up. Even the pickiest of eaters who don't like veggies will fall in love with this dish. The crunchy chili flakes are excellent enough to be paired with just about anything, and really compliments the char on the broccolini without it being overwhelming. A light spiciness with great flavor and adds to the delicious creamed green garlic sauce.

With a new curated menu about every month, you're able to try different things and find new favorites. No two dishes taste alike, they each have their own unique flavors. The servers are knowledgeable with the menu items, very personable and make you feel right at home. They also have an extended amount of gin's; if that isn't your thing, their other drinks are just as great, including lavender or sage lemonade.

Do NOT sleep on this place! Every dish is a work of art and you can taste the love that was put into it. Thank me later, you'll be glad you went. 😉
