Best Cozy Restaurants in Burien

The food and service was excellent. the Calamari was the best I' ve ever had. A great place to enjoy fine food.

A huge thank you to Melissa and all of the staff at Il Bistro for making our Christmas day dinner such a delicious and magical event! Our family was flying from Phoenix to Anchorage and wanted to stop and see my parents in Seattle… the Christmas dinner at Il Bistro was the perfect place to meet and enjoy time (and amazing food) together! But it required a lot of coordination, since our layover was only 4.5 hours - a tight window to get off the plane, into a cab, speed downtown, and get into the restaurant in time to meet my 80-year-old parents for our 5:30 PM reservation, and since reservations booked up so quickly, we had no room for error. Fortunately, Melissa helped us coordinate everything…it seemed the entire staff knew of our situation and was ready to help, treating my parents graciously, assisting them with nearby parking when they arrived, and seating them comfortably at our quiet corner table overlooking the restaurant so they could see us as soon as we came in. Such a gift! And the food was so delicious! Truly an unforgettable night 💕 Thank you Il Bistro!

Salty's exceeded our expectations. We have lived in Seattle for over 20 years and never had dinner at Salty's. We didn't know whether or not to trust the reviews. We absolutely loved our dinner and evening. The staff all the way from the hostess to the kitchen staff to the servers were extremely welcoming, nice and professional. The atmosphere is really special with dim lights, beautiful holiday decorations and a stunning view of the Seattle Downtown. The food was also fantastic. Salty's has an old school, classy vibe which was exactly what we were looking for to enjoy a joint birthday and holiday family meal.

Love the woman chef who runs the kitchen at Conversation! We enjoyed the Bone-in Halibut very much! Good wine list too.

Everything was delicious and the environment was lovely.
